B It was an innocent little detail, backed by centuries of science, in a chemistry book about tea, something American author Michelle Francl never anticipated would cause a stir among the British. In her new book, Steeped: The Chemistry of Tea, Francl analyzed caffeine levels and studied the molecules that give tea its good smell. She uncovered the little-known presence in tea of other chemicals, including fluoride and aluminum. And she also mentioned a careful study of an 8th-century Chinese article that called for salt to be added to the boiling water. “The sodium ions (钠离子) in the salt block our sense of bitterness,” says Francl, a chemistry professor at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. “So if you put a tiny bit of salt in — not enough to taste — you make the cup of tea or coffee smoother and less bitter.” The recipe for a perfect cup of tea, she wrote in her book, includes a little salt. And for tea with milk, Francl recommends warming the milk first, so that it doesn’t curdle (凝结) when it hits the hot water. Sounds harmless, right? But anyone with British friends and loved ones — or who’s spent more than five minutes in the United Kingdom — will know that recipe amounts to blasphemy. Within hours of the publication of Francl’s book, face palm emojis (捂脸表情) were appearing across the British Isles. “Hot milk and salt!? Who is this person?” radio host Toni McDonald shouted on his program. “This scientist supposes that the only way to have a decent cup of tea is with a little salt? That’s foolish!” another radio host, Vic Minett, said. To respond to these complaints, the U.S. Embassy’s public affairs officer, Rodney Ford told the press, “We want to say to the good people of the U.K. that the unthinkable idea of adding salt to Britain’s national drink is not official United States policy — and never will be.” 4. Why is the Chinese article mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To tell us where Francl got her idea. B. To prove tea making enjoys a time-honored history. C. To introduce the social background of Francl’s book. D. To explain how tea-making was brought to Britain from China. 5. What can reduce the bitter taste in the tea according to the text? A. Salt. B. Boiling water. C. Curdled milk. D. An unknown chemical. 6. What does the underlined word “blasphemy” in paragraph 5 mean? A Embarrassment. B. Unbalance. C. Disrespect. D. Desperation. 7 What did Francl’s book cause in Britain? A. Tea craze. B. Heated discussion. C. Policy change. D. Public anger. C The Voynich manuscript (手稿) is a 234-page book filled with writing in a strange language now called Voynichese. It also features many strange drawings of unknown plants, people and charts. Based on the images alone, it seems to have something to do with medicine. The language in the manuscript appears nowhere else and has become one of the greatest linguistic riddles of our day, Since its discovery, it has attracted researchers, been called a hoax (骗局), and been the subject of a huge number of articles. By carbon dating the manuscript, researchers are pretty confident that it was constructed in the early 1400s. And through the magic of linguistic analysis, most people agree that the manuscript is not a hoax. Or, if it is, it’s a very, very complex hoax. A paper published in 2016 by computer scientist Greg Kondrak and his student Bradley Hauer gained a lot of attention. Their theory was based on the idea that Voynichese was made with a substitution cipher (替代密码). That means it was written in a real language, and then each of the letters in that language was replaced by a specific Voynichese letter. This is where the computing power comes in. By having a computer compare the text of the Voynich manuscript to 380 languages, Kondrak and Hauer ran the substitution cipher through as many languages as possible and determined if the text would make sense. In the end, they figured out that the original language was Hebrew, and they even translated some of the text. There are a few problems with their results, though: they compared the manuscript to modern Hebrew, not 15th-century Hebrew; they had to make “spelling corrections” for it to make sense; and, possibly most egregious (过分的) of all, they got their results using a translating app. Despite all the innovations in code-breaking over the last century, the Voynich manuscript still rejects our advances. If Voynichese is indeed ever solved, artificial intelligence could very likely play a role. 8 What can be an agreed point about the Voynich manuscript? A. It’s a medical book. B. It has magic power. C. It was made in the 1400s. D. It tells the story of a complex hoax. 9. What does Kondrak believe? A. Voynichese was an endangered language. B. Voynichese will be replaced soon. C. Voynichese was made by somebody. D. Voynichese will attract more attention. 10. What can be inferred about Kondrak’s research? A. Its samples were insufficient. B. It failed to get the text to make sense. C. It didn’t determine the original language. D. Its conclusion was not convincing enough. 11. What does the author express in the last paragraph? A. Doubt. B. Expectation. C. Determination. D. Concern. Animals have developed a circadian clock—an internal body clock that runs in 24-hour cycles. It is regulated by cues (提示) from their environment. But they may suffer from a “jet lag （时差反应）” when the cues animals are exposed to do not match the ones of their natural environment. Kristine Gandia, a PhD student at the University of Stirling in Scotland, and a team of observers set out to understand how the “jet lag” of living in latitudes (纬度) that animals were not used to can affect them. Giant pandas were chosen as the focus for the study partly because they live highly seasonal lives.” “Giant pandas are very good animals to focus on,” Gandia said. “They are very popular in zoos and there are a lot that have cameras so we can see how their behavior changes across different latitudes. These cameras enabled us to monitor the giant pandas’ behavior across a 24-hour period.” Gandia explained that the latitudinal range for giant pandas is between 26 and 42 degrees north. Matching latitudes could also be considered between 26 and 42 degrees south, as these mirror the temperature and lighting conditions. The team monitored 11 giant pandas in six different zoos. Some zoos were within the animals’ natural latitudes but in other countries and the others were outside that range. Gandia explained, “We recorded giant panda behavior, trying to account for behaviors that are positive, neutral (中性的) and negative indicators for welfare. So, this would include behaviors like play and grooming as positive behaviors, drinking and defecating as neutral maintenance behaviors, and several abnormal behaviors as negative behaviors, with pacing being the most common.” Those living in zoos outside of their home latitude were found to be less active and display more negative behaviors. “Giant pandas living in zoos could be suffering from a ‘jet lag’ if their body clocks don’t match their environments,” Gandia said. 12. What does Gandia and her team’s study focus on? A. Animal behavior. B. Animal body clock. C. Animal popularity. D. Animal distribution. 13. What is a reason why pandas were chosen for the study? A. Wide latitude of their natural habitat. B. Their strong adaptability. C. The existing findings about them. D. The convenience of observation. 14. How was the study carried out? A. By analyzing reasons. B. By comparing recordings. C. By conducting interviews. D. By listing examples. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will “Jet Lag” Be Able to Be Avoided? B. Could Animals Suffer from a “Jet Lag”? C. Is Panda a Proper Subject to Study “Jet Lag”? D Does Season Have Anything to Do with “Jet Lag”? 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。 For most people, traveling through the mountains or sampling French cuisine is a rare treat. ____16____ If you intend to become a travel writer, here is how you can get on your professional adventure.

We took the kids to the park having a great time during the day and we ordered pizza for dinner. After I got the kids into bed, I went to the kitchen to get a drink for myself. That was when I unintendedly looked out of the window to our neighbor’s house across the street. To my surprise, it was completely dark. Our neighbor was an older woman, Mrs. Biddle. She was the kind of woman who kept to herself. She lived in a big house by herself and rarely left except to go grocery shopping. Her son would visit from time to time. Although I had attempted to get close to her, all my efforts to be neighborly toward her failed. I tried to strike up conversations, but she would cut me short. Oftentimes, if she saw me walking to her house, it was obvious from the expression on her face that she didn’t want to be bothered. She would hurry inside to avoid me. Now looking at her house, I thought it was odd that all her lights were off. Mrs. Biddle never went out at night. As a matter of fact, she was a night owl like me, with her lights usually burning way past midnight. That’s when it hit me: I had to go over to her house. I knew something must be wrong. Concerned about her safety, I walked across the street and rang her doorbell several times. There was no answer. With a growing desire, I tried peeking through her window, but her curtains were drawn. I went back to her door to ring the bell again when I heard something stir inside. “Mrs. Biddle?” I called out loudly. Then I heard a small voice. I couldn’t make out what she was saying, but I knew it was Mrs. Biddle, and she needed help. 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。 Running back to my house, I told my husband, Harold, what had happened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, we went to the hospital to visit Mrs. Biddle again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1~5 BACAC 6~10 ABBCC 11~15 BABCA 16~20 AABCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年普通高等学校招生全国统一模拟考试 英 语 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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。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?

In her new book, Steeped: The Chemistry of Tea, Francl analyzed caffeine levels and studied the molecules that give tea its good smell. She uncovered the little-known presence in tea of other chemicals, including fluoride and aluminum. And she also mentioned a careful study of an 8th-century Chinese article that called for salt to be added to the boiling water. “The sodium ions (钠离子) in the salt block our sense of bitterness,” says Francl, a chemistry professor at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. “So if you put a tiny bit of salt in — not enough to taste — you make the cup of tea or coffee smoother and less bitter.” The recipe for a perfect cup of tea she wrote in her book, includes a little salt. And for tea with milk, Francl recommends warming the milk first, so that it doesn’t curdle (凝结) when it hits the hot water. Sounds harmless, right? But anyone with British friends and loved ones — or who’s spent more than five minutes in the United Kingdom — will know that recipe amounts to blasphemy. Within hours of the publication of Francl’s book, face palm emojis (捂脸表情) were appearing across the British Isles. “Hot milk and salt!? Who is this person?” radio host Toni McDonald shouted on his program. “This scientist supposes that the only way to have a decent cup of tea is with a little salt? That’s foolish!” another radio host, Vic Minett, said. To respond to these complaints, the U.S. Embassy’s public affairs officer, Rodney Ford told the press, “We want to say to the good people of the U.K. that the unthinkable idea of adding salt to Britain’s national drink is not official United States policy — and never will be.” 4. Why is the Chinese article mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To tell us where Francl got her idea. B. To prove tea making enjoys a time-honored history. C. To introduce the social background of Francl’s book. D. To explain how tea-making was brought to Britain from China. 5. What can reduce the bitter taste in the tea according to the text? A. Salt. B. Boiling water. C. Curdled milk. D. An unknown chemical. 6. What does the underlined word “blasphemy” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Embarrassment. B. Unbalance. C. Disrespect. D. Desperation. 7. What did Francl’s book cause in Britain? A. Tea craze. B. Heated discussion. C. Policy change. D. Public anger. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了美国作家Michelle Francl在她的新书《Steeped: The Chemistry of Tea》中提出的泡茶方法引起了英国人的热议。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“And she also mentioned a careful study of an 8th-century Chinese article that called for salt to be added to the boiling water.”（她还提到了对一篇8世纪中国文章的仔细研究，该文章呼吁在沸水中加入盐。），Francl在她的书中提到了一个8世纪的中国文章，该文章建议在烧开的水中加入盐。这是Francl得到她的想法的来源。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““The sodium ions （钠离子） in the salt block our sense of bitterness,” says Francl, a chemistry professor at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. “So if you put a tiny bit of salt in—not enough to taste—you make the cup of tea or coffee smoother and less bitter.””（ 宾夕法尼亚州布林茅尔学院的化学教授Francl说:“盐中的钠离子阻碍了我们对苦味的感知。”“所以，如果你放一点点盐进去——不够入味——你会让一杯茶或咖啡更顺滑，不那么苦）可知，盐可以减少茶的苦味。故选A 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“Sounds harmless, right? But anyone with British friends and loved ones—or who’s spent more than five minutes in the United Kingdom”（ 听起来无害，对吧?但是任何有英国朋友和爱人的人，或者在英国呆了五分钟以上的人）以及“face palm emojis （捂脸表情）were appearing across the British Isles.”（ 捂脸表情表情出现在了不列颠群岛的各个地方）可知，Francl的泡茶方法在英国引起了争议，被认为是对英国的国饮的不尊重，所以这里的“blasphemy”意为“不尊重”。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was an innocent little detail, backed by centuries of science, in a chemistry book about tea, something American author Michelle Francl never anticipated would cause a stir among the British.”（ 这是一本关于茶的化学书中一个无辜的小细节，有几个世纪的科学依据，美国作家米歇尔·弗兰万万没想到会在英国引起轰动）可知，Francl的书在英国引起了热议，因此选项B“热议”符合文章的描述。故选B。 C The Voynich manuscript (手稿) is a 234-page book filled with writing in a strange language now called Voynichese. It also features many strange drawings of unknown plants, people and charts. Based on the images alone, it seems to have something to do with medicine. The language in the manuscript appears nowhere else and has become one of the greatest linguistic riddles of our day, Since its discovery, it has attracted researchers, been called a hoax (骗局), and been the subject of a huge number of articles. By carbon dating the manuscript, researchers are pretty confident that it was constructed in the early 1400s. And through the magic of linguistic analysis, most people agree that the manuscript is not a hoax. Or, if it is, it’s a very, very complex hoax. A paper published in 2016 by computer scientist Greg Kondrak and his student Bradley Hauer gained a lot of attention. Their theory was based on the idea that Voynichese was made with a substitution cipher (替代密码). That means it was written in a real language, and then each of the letters in that language was replaced by a specific Voynichese letter. This is where the computing power comes in. By having a computer compare the text of the Voynich manuscript to 380 languages, Kondrak and Hauer ran the substitution cipher through as many languages as possible and determined if the text would make sense. In the end, they figured out that the original language was Hebrew, and they even translated some of the text. There are a few problems with their results, though: they compared the manuscript to modern Hebrew, not 15th-century Hebrew; they had to make “spelling corrections” for it to make sense; and, possibly most egregious (过分的) of all, they got their results using a translating app. Despite all the innovations in code-breaking over the last century, the Voynich manuscript still rejects our advances. If Voynichese is indeed ever solved, artificial intelligence could very likely play a role. 8. What can be an agreed point about the Voynich manuscript? A. It’s a medical book. B. It has magic power. C. It was made in the 1400s. D. It tells the story of a complex hoax. 9. What does Kondrak believe? A. Voynichese was an endangered language. B. Voynichese will be replaced soon. C. Voynichese was made by somebody. D. Voynichese will attract more attention. 10. What can be inferred about Kondrak’s research? A. Its samples were insufficient. B. It failed to get the text to make sense. C. It didn’t determine the original language. D. Its conclusion was not convincing enough. 11. What does the author express in the last paragraph? A. Doubt. B. Expectation. C. Determination. D. Concern. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍伏尼契手稿——一本六百年来无人能懂的奇书，Voynich手稿里面充满了一种奇怪的语言——现在被称为Voynichese（伏尼切语）——的文字。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“By carbon dating the manuscript, researchers are pretty confident that it was constructed in the early 1400s. (通过对手稿进行碳年代测定，研究人员非常确信它是在14世纪初建造的。)”可知，关于Voynich手稿，研究人员非常确信它是在14世纪初建造的。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Their theory was based on the idea that Voynichese was made with a substitution cipher(替代密码). That means it was written in a real language, and then each of the letters in that language was replaced by a specific Voynichese letter. (他们的理论基于这样一种观点，即伏尼切语是用替代密码制成的。这意味着它是用真实的语言写的，然后该语言中的每个字母都被一个特定的伏尼切语字母所取代。)”可知，Kondrak认为，伏尼契手稿是用真实的语言写的，该语言中的每个字母都被一个特定的伏尼切语字母所取代，由此可知，伏尼切语人为制成的。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“There are a few problems with their results, though: they compared the manuscript to modern Hebrew, not 15th-century Hebrew; they had to make “spelling corrections” for it to make sense; and, possibly most egregious (过分) of all, they got their results using a translating app. (然而，他们的结果也有一些问题：他们将手稿与现代希伯来语进行了比较，而不是与15世纪的希伯来语进行比较；他们必须进行‘拼写更正’才能使其有意义；而且，可能最令人震惊的是，他们使用翻译应用程序获得了结果。)”可知，这项研究的结果是有问题的，Kondrak的研究结论并不令人信服。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite all the innovations in code-breaking over the last century, the Voynich manuscript still rejects our advances. If Voynichese is indeed ever solved, artificial intelligence could very likely play a role. (尽管上个世纪在代码破解方面进行了所有创新，但Voynich手稿仍然拒绝接受我们的进步。如果伏尼切语真的被解决了，人工智能很可能会发挥作用。)”可知，作者认为未来有望借助人工智能来解开伏尼切语之谜；由此可知，作者在最后一段中表达了期望。故选B。 Animals have developed a circadian clock—an internal body clock that runs in 24-hour cycles. It is regulated by cues (提示) from their environment. But they may suffer from a “jet lag （时差反应）” when the cues animals are exposed to do not match the ones of their natural environment. Kristine Gandia, a PhD student at the University of Stirling in Scotland, and a team of observers set out to understand how the “jet lag” of living in latitudes (纬度) that animals were not used to can affect them. Giant pandas were chosen as the focus for the study partly because they live highly seasonal lives.” “Giant pandas are very good animals to focus on,” Gandia said. “They are very popular in zoos and there are a lot that have cameras so we can see how their behavior changes across different latitudes. These cameras enabled us to monitor the giant pandas’ behavior across a 24-hour period.” Gandia explained that the latitudinal range for giant pandas is between 26 and 42 degrees north. Matching latitudes could also be considered between 26 and 42 degrees south, as these mirror the temperature and lighting conditions. The team monitored 11 giant pandas in six different zoos. Some zoos were within the animals’ natural latitudes but in other countries and the others were outside that range. Gandia explained, “We recorded giant panda behavior, trying to account for behaviors that are positive, neutral (中性的) and negative indicators for welfare. So, this would include behaviors like play and grooming as positive behaviors, drinking and defecating as neutral maintenance behaviors, and several abnormal behaviors as negative behaviors, with pacing being the most common.” Those living in zoos outside of their home latitude were found to be less active and display more negative behaviors. “Giant pandas living in zoos could be suffering from a ‘jet lag’ if their body clocks don’t match their environments,” Gandia said. 12. What does Gandia and her team’s study focus on? A. Animal behavior. B. Animal body clock. C. Animal popularity. D. Animal distribution. 13. What is a reason why pandas were chosen for the study? A. Wide latitude of their natural habitat. B. Their strong adaptability. C. The existing findings about them. D. The convenience of observation. 14. How was the study carried out? A. By analyzing reasons. B. By comparing recordings. C. By conducting interviews. D. By listing examples. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will “Jet Lag” Be Able to Be Avoided? B. Could Animals Suffer from a “Jet Lag”? C. Is Panda a Proper Subject to Study “Jet Lag”? D. Does Season Have Anything to Do with “Jet Lag”? 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员通过研究发现：如果大熊猫的生物钟与环境不匹配，它们可能会受到“时差反应”的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Animals have developed a circadian clock—an internal body clock that runs in 24-hour cycles. It is regulated by cues from their environment. But they may suffer from a “jet lag” when the cues animals are exposed to do not match the ones of their natural environment.（动物已经形成了生物钟——一种以24小时为周期运行的体内生物钟。它受环境的影响。但当动物接触到的线索与自然环境不匹配时，它们可能会受到“时差”的影响。）”和第二段的句子“Kristine Gandia, a PhD student at the University of Stirling in Scotland, and a team of observers set out to understand how the “jet lag” of living in latitudes that animals were not used to can affect them.（苏格兰斯特林大学的博士生克里斯汀·甘迪亚和一组观察人员开始了解生活在动物不习惯的纬度上的“时差”是如何影响它们的。）”可知，甘迪亚和她的团队的研究重点是环境对动物生物钟的影响。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““Giant pandas are very good animals to focus on,” Gandia said. “They are very popular in zoos and there are a lot that have cameras so we can see how their behavior changes across different latitudes. These cameras enabled us to monitor the giant pandas’ behavior across a 24-hour period.”（“大熊猫是非常值得关注的动物，”甘迪亚说。“它们在动物园里很受欢迎，很多动物园都有摄像头，所以我们可以看到它们在不同纬度的行为是如何变化的。这些摄像机使我们能够在24小时内监控大熊猫的行为。”）”可知，选择熊猫作为研究对象是因为方便观察。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Gandia explained, “We recorded giant panda behavior, trying to account for behaviors that are positive, neutral and negative indicators for welfare. So, this would include behaviors like play and grooming as positive behaviors, drinking and defecating as neutral maintenance behaviors, and several abnormal behaviors as negative behaviors, with pacing being the most common.”（甘迪亚解释说：“我们记录了大熊猫的行为，试图解释积极、中性和消极的行为指标。因此，这将包括玩耍和梳理等行为作为积极行为，喝水和排便作为中性维持行为，以及一些异常行为作为消极行为，其中踱步是最常见的。”）”可知，研究人员是通过对比大熊猫的录像进行研究的。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍如果大熊猫的生物钟与环境不匹配，它们可能会受到“时差反应”的影响。所以B项“Could Animals Suffer from a “Jet Lag”?”（动物会有“时差反应”吗？）作为本文的题目与文章主题项符合。故选B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。 For most people traveling through the mountains or sampling French cuisine is a rare treat. ____16____ If you intend to become a travel writer, here is how you can get on your professional adventure.

We took the kids to the park having a great time during the day and we ordered pizza for dinner. After I got the kids into bed, I went to the kitchen to get a drink for myself. That was when I unintendedly looked out of the window to our neighbor’s house across the street. To my surprise, it was completely dark. Our neighbor was an older woman, Mrs. Biddle. She was the kind of woman who kept to herself. She lived in a big house by herself and rarely left except to go grocery shopping. Her son would visit from time to time. Although I had attempted to get close to her, all my efforts to be neighborly toward her failed. I tried to strike up conversations, but she would cut me short. Oftentimes, if she saw me walking to her house, it was obvious from the expression on her face that she didn’t want to be bothered. She would hurry inside to avoid me. Now looking at her house, I thought it was odd that all her lights were off. Mrs. Biddle never went out at night. As a matter of fact, she was a night owl like me, with her lights usually burning way past midnight. That’s when it hit me: I had to go over to her house. I knew something must be wrong. Concerned about her safety, I walked across the street and rang her doorbell several times. There was no answer. With a growing desire, I tried peeking through her window, but her curtains were drawn. I went back to her door to ring the bell again when I heard something stir inside. “Mrs. Biddle?” I called out loudly. Then I heard a small voice. I couldn’t make out what she was saying, but I knew it was Mrs. Biddle, and she needed help. 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。 Running back to my house, I told my husband, Harold, what had happened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, we went to the hospital to visit Mrs. Biddle again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Running back to my house, I told my husband, Harold, what had happened. We called 911 and went to Mrs. Biddle’ house waiting anxiously outside. Minutes later, the police arrived and broke into Ms. Biddle’ door. Soon after, the ambulance arrived and took her to hospital. My husband and I got into our car and went to the hospital to accompany her. She had fallen down the last few steps from her house, hit her head as she fell, and broke her ankle so she was unable to get up. The doctor told us she was going in and out of consciousness. The next day, we went to the hospital to visit Mrs. Biddle again. That’s when I saw her smile for the first time. She expressed her gratitude to us saying she could have been lying there the entire weekend if we hadn’t come to her help. And something special came from that weekend---we became good friends with Mrs. Biddle. Her attitude changed. She didn’t seem so distant and she smiled often. She joined us for many family dinners and holidays and became an honorary grandmother to our children. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为中心展开，主要讲述作者发现独居的沉默寡言的邻居比德尔夫人有一天晚上家里没有亮灯，就觉得很奇怪，因为老人一般晚上不出门，所以作者认为她必须上门看看发生了什么事情。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我跑回家，把发生的事情告诉了丈夫哈罗德。”可知，第一段可描写作者和丈夫一起去比德尔夫人家里之后发生的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，我们再次去医院看望比德尔夫人。”可知，第二段可描写比德尔夫人对他们的感谢，并且他们邻里关系变得融洽。 2. 续写线索：报警——警察到来——送去医院——了解情况——治疗——感谢——融洽——朋友 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①到达：arrive/get to ②陪同某人：accompany sb./keep sb. companied ③站起来：get up/stand up 情绪类 ①焦急地：anxiously/ worriedly ②感谢：gratitude/thanks 【点睛】【高分句型1】She had fallen down the last few steps from her house, hit her head as she fell, and broke her ankle so she was unable to get up.（由as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】The doctor told us she was going in and out of consciousness.（由省略连词that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型3】That’s when I saw her smile for the first time.（由when引导的表语从句） 1~5 BACAC 6~10 ABBCC 11~15 BABCA 16~20 AABCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 听力文本 听力考试现在开始。 第一部分听力 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案 转涂到答题卡上。 第一节，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。 Text 1 W:Have you seen my car key?
