In the magic milk experiment, kids learn about simple chemical reactions and physical features using only a few materials. Read on to see how to do the experiment. How does the magic milk experiment work? In this experiment, you pour some milk in a shallow dish. You then add drops of food coloring to the surface of the milk. Using a cotton swab (棉签) dipped into dish soap, you lightly brush the surface of the milk. The dish soap breaks the surface tension of the milk, and the soap molecules try to attach to the fat molecules in the milk. This leads to swirls (漩涡) and bursts of fun rainbow colors. What does the magic milk experiment teach? This experiment teaches us about the science of molecules and how matter interacts. The soap breaks down the fat molecules and makes them move apart, showing us a simple but interesting example of chemistry in action. Materials needed: To do the magic milk experiment, you will need a shallow bowl or plate, milk, blue dish soap, cotton swabs, and food coloring. Be sure to use the more inexpensive food coloring as opposed to gel (凝胶) coloring, which does not work as well. Magic milk experiment steps: ·Pour milk into a shallow dish or bowl, just enough to cover the bottom. ·Add drops of food coloring all over the surface of the milk. ·Dip the end of a cotton swab into a separate dish of blue soap. ·Lightly brush the top of the milk with the cotton swab, and watch what happens. 1. What causes swirls and bursts of fun rainbow colors in the experiment? A. The overuse of dish soap. B. The temperature of the milk. C. The food coloring left in the shallow dish. D. The interaction between dish soap and milk. 2. Which material has special requirements in the experiment? A. Milk. B. Coloring. C. Dish soap. D. The cotton swab. 3. What can kids learn from the experiment? A. Good eating habits. B. Useful painting skills. C. Basic scientific concepts. D. Important statistical methods. B I’ve received dozens of these emails throughout my experience as a writer: “Thank you so much for taking the time to submit your work to us. However, this piece is not right for our magazine”; “Thank you for submitting your story to our magazine. Unfortunately, we are unable to publish it”; “We appreciate the chance to read your story. Unfortunately, the piece is not for us”; etc. Nobody likes getting such emails. They are painful and can often be demotivating. However, one day I received a beautiful rejection letter. The editor wrote that he enjoyed my non-fiction article. He also wrote, “I like your writing style. It is very engaging. Nevertheless, I did find a few spots in your story where the wording seemed a little foreign or unusual to me. Not that it was wrong but that it tended to draw my attention away from the story. You should read as much English (British and/or American English) as you can to build a vocabulary and usage that draws our attention to feelings, not words.” As a non-native English speaker, I often found it challenging to write in English. But the editor’s letter is of great help to me as it elucidated where and how I should improve my writing. I read Ernest Hemingway’s books and Jane Austen’s classic novels in order to improve my language skills. I read English newspapers and magazines and learned at least three new words every day. I listened to talk shows on the radio. After eight months of this process, I went back and read the essay I had originally sent to the editor. I rewrote the story and sent it to the same editor who congratulated me and accepted it for publication. What I took away from this experience was that I should never be satisfied with just okay results. I need to keep working on myself and to try to constantly expand my knowledge by taking advantage of every single moment, advice, comment, and review. I do feel uncomfortable sometimes, but I am not scared. The bigger the challenge, the bigger the opportunity to learn and grow. 4. What did the editor find unsatisfying about the author’s essay? A. The story was too complicated. B. Some unusual feelings were expressed. C. Some language was not natural enough. D. The writing style was far from engaging. 5. What does the underlined word “elucidated” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Clarified. B. Proved. C. Supported. D. Confirmed. 6. What did the author learn from her experience? A. Great minds usually think alike. B. Someone always sees the good in you. C. One should always work towards improvement. D. We shouldn’t be ashamed to seek advice from others. 7. What would be the best title of the text? A. How I dealt with a rejection letter. B. How a rejection letter made me a better writer. C. How an honest editor stimulated my interest in writing. D. How I benefited from constant communication with my editor. C The ocean, with its vast mysteries hidden in its depths, has long excited human curiosity. From ancient maps decorated with dragons and sea monsters to modern-day technology, we’ve made limited progress in uncovering the secrets of the deep blue. Despite the technological advancements to date, only around five percent of the world’s oceans have been mapped. The power of underwater exploration is currently the biggest obstacle we face. While technologies like wave and tidal power show promise, they are often location-dependent. Solar power, on the other hand, offers an ever-present and powerful energy source, even beneath the ocean’s surface. Sunlight can penetrate (穿透) waters up to 50 meters deep, providing sufficient energy to operate basic appliances. And in recent research conducted by a team from NYU Tandon School of Engineering, solar cells successfully powered AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles) and communications equipment, demonstrating its enormous potential for undersea exploration. However, some challenges remain. One lies in the design of existing silicon (硅) solar technology, which is ill-suited for underwater environments. Beyond moisture and salt content harmful to electronics in general, silicon solar cells are optimized (使优化) to absorb red and infrared light, which do not penetrate water effectively. Another critical issue underwater solar cells face is biofouling — the gradual gathering of organic substances on the cells. This buildup blocks light. Furthermore, it affects the underwater vehicles themselves, increasing their weight. Previous experiments revealed that biofouling covered over 50 percent of the surface after just 30 days underwater, significantly hampering solar cell operation. In the research, the team also tackled practical challenges in designing and testing underwater solar cells. They created innovative solutions, such as using LED lights to copy the light spectrum (光谱) at various depths, removing the need for water during testing. These experiments demonstrated that silicon-based solar cells performed better in shallow depths, while other cell types proved more efficient below two meters. Although these specially designed underwater solar cells are still in their early stages of development, these contributions could lay the foundations for groundbreaking technologies that reveal both the potential of solar energy and the mysterious depths of our unexplored oceans. 8. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1? A. The ocean is mostly unexplored. B. The sea has shaped human civilization. C. Marine exploration technology is urgently needed. D. Technology promotes humans’ underwater exploration. 9. What is the advantage of solar power according to paragraph 2? A. It is affordable. B. It is eco-friendly. C. It is location-independent. D. It is efficient in generating electricity. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards the underwater solar cells designed by the researchers? A. Unconcerned. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving. 11. In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A. Health. B. Education. C. Society. D. Nature. D Zero-emission cars are soaring in popularity, but running an electric vehicle is next to impossible in places with limited charging infrastructure. Stella Terra could change that. The khaki-green SUV uses solar panels on its sloping roof to charge its electric battery, meaning it can drive long distances powered entirely by the sun. Built by a team of students at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, “the world’s first off-road (越野的) solar-powered vehicle” could help connect remote areas “where roads are less developed and energy grids are not as reliable,” and assist with emergency aid and deliveries, says Thieme Bosman, events manager for the team. The road-legal car has a top speed of 145 kilometers per hour. On a sunny day, its battery range is around 710 kilometers on roads, and around 550 kilometers off-road, depending on the surface. In cloudy conditions, the team estimates the range could be 50 kilometers less. Electric SUVs are heavier than standard electric vehicles, and require bigger, heavier batteries to power them. Minimizing the vehicle’s weight is essential, and the team of 22 students focused on making every element ultra-efficient. At just 1,200 kilograms, Stella Terra weighs around 25% less than the average mid-sized SUV. Able to travel off-road, and with no need for charging points, drivers of a solar-powered SUV are liberated to go wherever they please, says Bob van Ginkel, technical manager for Stella Terra. The designers made elements of the SUV livabie for long-distance, multiday journeys: for example, the car’s scats fully recline to create a bed. When the car is still, the solar panels can be extended to maximize charging, while doubling as an awning (遮阳篷) for shade. The team tested the vehicle in Morocco earlier this month, driving more than 1,000 kilometers between the country’s northern coast and the Sahara Desert in the south. “Morocco has a huge variety of landscapes and different surfaces in quite a short distance,” says Bosman, adding that the car was tested “on every type of surface that a car like this could encounter”. Bosman noted that the vehicle had proved to be one-third more efficient than expected on the trip, and that its lightweight design made it less likely to get stuck on rugged terrain (地形), and put less stress on its suspension. The team hopes their concept SUV could be mass-produced in the near future. “We aim to inspire not only everyday people, but also the automotive industry, the Ford and Chryslers of the world, to think again about their designs and to innovate faster than they currently do,” says Bosman. 12. What is the main advantage of Stella Terra? A. It is much lighter than other electric SUVs. B. It has a top speed of 145 kilometers per hour. C. It can drive long distances powered by the sun. D. It can be used for emergency aid and deliveries. 13. According to Thieme Bosman, what is one potential application of Stella Terra? A. Personal use in urban areas. B. Taxi services in crowded cities. C. Off-road adventures in remote areas. D. Delivery services in well-developed regions. 14. How did Stella Terra perform during the test in Morocco? A. It underperformed on rough ground. B. It reached top speed over a short distance. C. It never got trapped in challenging landscapes. D. It was beyond expectations in terms of efficiency. 15. What is the team’s hope for Stella Terra? A. It can inspire the automotive industry. B. It will be well received by consumers. C. It can replace Ford and Chrysler designs. D. It can be innovated faster than other SUVs. 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项。 A paid internship (带薪实习) is a job often in your chosen field of work that offers a salary and is combined with training in your field.

We’d purchased our 36-foot boat a few years earlier. Since then, we’d taken a number of short trips around Lake Michigan. But Bill and I still had a lot to learn. It was clear on the first day of this trip, our longest adventure to date—80 miles to Fayette State Park. Not long after we’d left our home port, Menominee, Michigan, on the shore of Green Bay, the sky turned dark, the waves grew and the wind picked up. There had been rain and strong wind forecast, but we weren’t prepared for them. Should we keep going or head for a safe port? “Escanaba’s not far away if we can make it,” Bill said. I nodded my head. He drew down the sails and turned on the engine. Soon we made it to the port. After Bill gassed up, we cooked up some dinner, made hot coffee and listened to the music of the rain and wind. The next morning, we awoke to a beautiful midsummer day. The sky was clear. We set sail after breakfast across Green Bay and onto the waters of western Lake Michigan. Twenty miles were left to our destination. For the first hour or so, everything went well. Then the wind, which had carried us along at a steady but gentle pace, suddenly died. Died completely. We had to start the motor. The engine coughed, and the boat trembled. I looked at Bill. “I pumped in enough gas, so that can’t be the problem,” Bill said. The engine coughed again, and then shut down. Every attempt to start it failed. “I think I know what’s wrong,” he said and raced to the bow. I followed. When I reached there, he was holding the gas cap. He had been in such a rush to fill up the tank the night before to get out of the rain that he had forgotten to fasten the gas cap back on. Now the boat motor was flooded. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 We tried to make a phone call, but there was no signal. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just as we were desperate, an old boat came along. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 ACCAA 6-10BCBCA 11-15 BACCB 16-20CBBAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二年级阶段性质量检测 英语试卷 （2024.05） 试卷说明：本场考试时间120分钟，总分150分。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，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。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。 1.

However this piece is not right for our magazine”; “Thank you for submitting your story to our magazine. Unfortunately, we are unable to publish it”; “We appreciate the chance to read your story. Unfortunately, the piece is not for us”; etc. Nobody likes getting such emails. They are painful and can often be demotivating. However, one day I received a beautiful rejection letter. The editor wrote that he enjoyed my non-fiction article. He also wrote, “I like your writing style. It is very engaging. Nevertheless, I did find a few spots in your story where the wording seemed a little foreign or unusual to me. Not that it was wrong but that it tended to draw my attention away from the story. You should read as much English (British and/or American English) as you can to build a vocabulary and usage that draws our attention to feelings, not words.” As a non-native English speaker, I often found it challenging to write in English. But the editor’s letter is of great help to me as it elucidated where and how I should improve my writing. I read Ernest Hemingway’s books and Jane Austen’s classic novels in order to improve my language skills. I read English newspapers and magazines and learned at least three new words every day. I listened to talk shows on the radio. After eight months of this process, I went back and read the essay I had originally sent to the editor. I rewrote the story and sent it to the same editor who congratulated me and accepted it for publication. What I took away from this experience was that I should never be satisfied with just okay results. I need to keep working on myself and to try to constantly expand my knowledge by taking advantage of every single moment, advice, comment, and review. I do feel uncomfortable sometimes, but I am not scared. The bigger the challenge, the bigger the opportunity to learn and grow. 4. What did the editor find unsatisfying about the author’s essay? A. The story was too complicated. B. Some unusual feelings were expressed. C. Some language was not natural enough. D. The writing style was far from engaging. 5. What does the underlined word “elucidated” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Clarified. B. Proved. C. Supported. D. Confirmed. 6. What did the author learn from her experience? A. Great minds usually think alike. B. Someone always sees the good in you. C. One should always work towards improvement. D. We shouldn’t be ashamed to seek advice from others. 7. What would be the best title of the text? A. How I dealt with a rejection letter. B. How a rejection letter made me a better writer. C. How an honest editor stimulated my interest in writing. D. How I benefited from constant communication with my editor. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一位非英语母语的作家通过一封具有建设性反馈的拒绝信找到了改进的方向，积极提升自己的英语写作能力，在经历了八个月的自我提升后，她重写并成功发表了自己的文章。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Nevertheless, I did find a few spots in your story where the wording seemed a little foreign or unusual to me.(然而，我确实在你的故事中发现了一些地方，其中的措辞对我来说有点陌生或不寻常。)”可知，编辑对作者的文章不满意的地方是有些语言不够自然。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“But the editor’s letter is of great help to me(但是编辑的来信对我帮助很大)”和“where and how I should improve my writing(我应该在哪里以及如何提高我的写作)”可知，编辑的来信阐明了作者应该在哪里以及如何提高作者的写作，划线词elucidated的意思是“阐明”，和clarified意思相近，故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“What I took away from this experience was that I should never be satisfied with just okay results. I need to keep working on myself and to try to constantly expand my knowledge by taking advantage of every single moment, advice, comment, and review.(我从这次经历中得到的教训是，我永远不应该满足于刚刚好的结果。我需要不断改进自己，通过利用每一个时刻、每一个建议、每一个评论和每一次回顾，不断扩大自己的知识。)”可知，作者从她的经历中学到了一个人应该不断努力改进。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“However, one day I received a beautiful rejection letter. The editor wrote that he enjoyed my non-fiction article. He also wrote, “I like your writing style. It is very engaging. Nevertheless, I did find a few spots in your story where the wording seemed a little foreign or unusual to me. Not that it was wrong but that it tended to draw my attention away from the story. You should read as much English (British and/or American English) as you can to build a vocabulary and usage that draws our attention to feelings, not words.”(然而，有一天我收到了一封漂亮的拒绝信。编辑写道，他喜欢我的非小说类文章。他还写道：“我喜欢你的写作风格。它非常吸引人。然而，我确实在你的故事中发现了一些地方，其中的措辞对我来说有点陌生或不寻常。并不是说它错了，而是它往往会把我的注意力从故事上引开。你应该尽可能多地阅读英语（英式和/或美式英语）来建立一个词汇和用法，把我们的注意力吸引到感觉上，而不是单词上。”)”和第三段“But the editor’s letter is of great help to me as it elucidated where and how I should improve my writing.(但是编辑的来信给了我很大的帮助，因为它阐明了我应该在哪里以及如何改进我的写作。)”可知，本文主要讲的是一位非英语母语的作家通过一封具有建设性反馈的拒绝信找到了改进的方向，积极提升自己的英语写作能力，在经历了八个月的自我提升后，她重写并成功发表了自己的文章，因此最好的题目是B选项“How a rejection letter made me a better writer.(一封拒绝信如何让我成为一个更好的作家。)”。故选B。 C The ocean, with its vast mysteries hidden in its depths, has long excited human curiosity. From ancient maps decorated with dragons and sea monsters to modern-day technology, we’ve made limited progress in uncovering the secrets of the deep blue. Despite the technological advancements to date, only around five percent of the world’s oceans have been mapped. The power of underwater exploration is currently the biggest obstacle we face. While technologies like wave and tidal power show promise, they are often location-dependent. Solar power, on the other hand, offers an ever-present and powerful energy source, even beneath the ocean’s surface. Sunlight can penetrate (穿透) waters up to 50 meters deep, providing sufficient energy to operate basic appliances. And in recent research conducted by a team from NYU Tandon School of Engineering, solar cells successfully powered AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles) and communications equipment, demonstrating its enormous potential for undersea exploration. However, some challenges remain. One lies in the design of existing silicon (硅) solar technology, which is ill-suited for underwater environments. Beyond moisture and salt content harmful to electronics in general, silicon solar cells are optimized (使优化) to absorb red and infrared light, which do not penetrate water effectively. Another critical issue underwater solar cells face is biofouling — the gradual gathering of organic substances on the cells. This buildup blocks light. Furthermore, it affects the underwater vehicles themselves, increasing their weight. Previous experiments revealed that biofouling covered over 50 percent of the surface after just 30 days underwater, significantly hampering solar cell operation. In the research, the team also tackled practical challenges in designing and testing underwater solar cells. They created innovative solutions, such as using LED lights to copy the light spectrum (光谱) at various depths, removing the need for water during testing. These experiments demonstrated that silicon-based solar cells performed better in shallow depths, while other cell types proved more efficient below two meters. Although these specially designed underwater solar cells are still in their early stages of development, these contributions could lay the foundations for groundbreaking technologies that reveal both the potential of solar energy and the mysterious depths of our unexplored oceans. 8. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1? A. The ocean is mostly unexplored. B. The sea has shaped human civilization. C. Marine exploration technology is urgently needed. D. Technology promotes humans’ underwater exploration. 9. What is the advantage of solar power according to paragraph 2? A. It is affordable. B. It is eco-friendly. C. It is location-independent. D. It is efficient in generating electricity. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards the underwater solar cells designed by the researchers? A. Unconcerned. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving. 11. In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A. Health. B. Education. C. Society. D. Nature. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了海洋深处巨大的奥秘以及人类对于利用太阳能进行水下探索的尝试和所面临的挑战。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Despite the technological advancements to date, only around five percent of the world’s oceans have been mapped.(尽管迄今为止技术进步，但世界上只有大约5%的海洋被绘制出来。)”可知，作者在第一段想告诉我们海洋大部分是未开发的。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Solar power, on the other hand, offers an ever-present and powerful energy source, even beneath the ocean’s surface.(另一方面，太阳能提供了一种无处不在的强大能源，即使是在海洋表面之下。)”可知，太阳能的优势是不受地点限制的。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although these specially designed underwater solar cells are still in their early stages of development, these contributions could lay the foundations for groundbreaking technologies that reveal both the potential of solar energy and the mysterious depths of our unexplored oceans.(虽然这些特别设计的水下太阳能电池仍处于早期开发阶段，但这些贡献可能为突破性技术奠定基础，这些技术将揭示太阳能的潜力和我们未开发的海洋的神秘深度。)”可知，作者对研究人员设计的水下太阳能电池持赞许态度。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“And in recent research conducted by a team from NYU Tandon School of Engineering, solar cells successfully powered AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles) and communications equipment, demonstrating its enormous potential for undersea exploration.(在最近由纽约大学坦顿工程学院的一个团队进行的研究中，太阳能电池成功地为AUV（自主水下航行器）和通信设备提供动力，显示了其在海底勘探方面的巨大潜力。)”和倒数第二段“In the research, the team also tackled practical challenges in designing and testing underwater solar cells.

Stella Terra could change that. The khaki-green SUV uses solar panels on its sloping roof to charge its electric battery, meaning it can drive long distances powered entirely by the sun. Built by a team of students at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, “the world’s first off-road (越野的) solar-powered vehicle” could help connect remote areas “where roads are less developed and energy grids are not as reliable,” and assist with emergency aid and deliveries, says Thieme Bosman, events manager for the team. The road-legal car has a top speed of 145 kilometers per hour. On a sunny day, its battery range is around 710 kilometers on roads, and around 550 kilometers off-road, depending on the surface. In cloudy conditions, the team estimates the range could be 50 kilometers less. Electric SUVs are heavier than standard electric vehicles, and require bigger, heavier batteries to power them. Minimizing the vehicle’s weight is essential, and the team of 22 students focused on making every element ultra-efficient. At just 1,200 kilograms, Stella Terra weighs around 25% less than the average mid-sized SUV. Able to travel off-road, and with no need for charging points, drivers of a solar-powered SUV are liberated to go wherever they please, says Bob van Ginkel, technical manager for Stella Terra. The designers made elements of the SUV livabie for long-distance, multiday journeys: for example, the car’s scats fully recline to create a bed. When the car is still, the solar panels can be extended to maximize charging, while doubling as an awning (遮阳篷) for shade. The team tested the vehicle in Morocco earlier this month, driving more than 1,000 kilometers between the country’s northern coast and the Sahara Desert in the south. “Morocco has a huge variety of landscapes and different surfaces in quite a short distance,” says Bosman, adding that the car was tested “on every type of surface that a car like this could encounter”. Bosman noted that the vehicle had proved to be one-third more efficient than expected on the trip, and that its lightweight design made it less likely to get stuck on rugged terrain (地形), and put less stress on its suspension. The team hopes their concept SUV could be mass-produced in the near future. “We aim to inspire not only everyday people, but also the automotive industry, the Ford and Chryslers of the world, to think again about their designs and to innovate faster than they currently do,” says Bosman. 12. What is the main advantage of Stella Terra? A. It is much lighter than other electric SUVs. B. It has a top speed of 145 kilometers per hour. C. It can drive long distances powered by the sun. D. It can be used for emergency aid and deliveries. 13. According to Thieme Bosman, what is one potential application of Stella Terra? A. Personal use in urban areas. B. Taxi services in crowded cities. C. Off-road adventures in remote areas. D. Delivery services in well-developed regions. 14. How did Stella Terra perform during the test in Morocco? A. It underperformed on rough ground. B. It reached top speed over a short distance. C. It never got trapped in challenging landscapes. D. It was beyond expectations in terms of efficiency. 15. What is the team’s hope for Stella Terra? A. It can inspire the automotive industry. B. It will be well received by consumers. C. It can replace Ford and Chrysler designs. D. It can be innovated faster than other SUVs. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15.

With science and technology developing at an amazing pace, the world is changing rapidly and so are learning needs and styles. It is impossible that learning stops at a certain place and time.

Since then, we’d taken a number of short trips around Lake Michigan. But Bill and I still had a lot to learn. It was clear on the first day of this trip, our longest adventure to date—80 miles to Fayette State Park. Not long after we’d left our home port, Menominee, Michigan, on the shore of Green Bay, the sky turned dark, the waves grew and the wind picked up. There had been rain and strong wind forecast, but we weren’t prepared for them. Should we keep going or head for a safe port? “Escanaba’s not far away if we can make it,” Bill said. I nodded my head. He drew down the sails and turned on the engine. Soon we made it to the port. After Bill gassed up, we cooked up some dinner, made hot coffee and listened to the music of the rain and wind. The next morning, we awoke to a beautiful midsummer day. The sky was clear. We set sail after breakfast across Green Bay and onto the waters of western Lake Michigan. Twenty miles were left to our destination. For the first hour or so, everything went well. Then the wind, which had carried us along at a steady but gentle pace, suddenly died. Died completely. We had to start the motor. The engine coughed, and the boat trembled. I looked at Bill. “I pumped in enough gas, so that can’t be the problem,” Bill said. The engine coughed again, and then shut down. Every attempt to start it failed. “I think I know what’s wrong,” he said and raced to the bow. I followed. When I reached there, he was holding the gas cap. He had been in such a rush to fill up the tank the night before to get out of the rain that he had forgotten to fasten the gas cap back on. Now the boat motor was flooded. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 We tried to make a phone call, but there was no signal. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just as we were desperate, an old boat came along. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】We tried to make a phone call, but there was no signal. We were trapped in Lake Michigan, with no wind, a flooded engine, and miles of water in every direction. What was even worse was the fact that even on the most beautiful days, the sea could be unforgiving and unpredictable. We were left with no choice but to address the issue and hope for a solution that would get us back on our way to Fayette State Park. We decided to start the engine again. Nothing. Turned it on again. The same result. Just as we were desperate, an old boat came along. We waved madly, hoping they would notice us. Thankfully, they did, and they sailed their boat closer to ours. Informed about our situation, the sailors offered to draw us to the nearest dock. After securing a rope between our boats, we started the slow journey. Once at the dock, we thanked our rescuers and set about having our engine repaired. It took a few hours of mending, but eventually, it ran smoothly again. The experience had been a lesson in preparedness and attention to detail. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了比尔和作者都不是熟练的水手，买船后他们计划前往Fayette州立公园的一次长途旅行，在这次旅行中，他们遇到了恶劣的天气，并不得不提前找到一个安全的港口避风，第二天，他们再次启航，但在途中船的发动机出现了故障。比尔发现前一天晚上为了避雨而匆忙加油时，忘记了把油盖扣回去，导致发动机进水。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们试着打电话，但是没有信号。”可知，第一段可描写他们在密歇根湖遇到的一系列困境和他们对解决问题的尝试。 ②由第二段首句内容“正当我们绝望的时候，一艘旧船开了过来。”可知，第二段可描写他们在绝望中遇到救援并最终脱险的经历，以及这次经历给他们带来的教训。 2.续写线索：被困——尝试解决问题——失败——水手提供帮助——感谢——顺利运行——教训 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①被困：be trapped in/be caught in ②解决：address/solve ③主动提出做某事：offer to do/make an offer to do sth. 情绪类 ①无情的：unforgiving/ruthless ②感谢：thank sb./express one’s gratitude to sb. 【点睛】[高分句型1] What was even worse was the fact that even on the most beautiful days, the sea could be unforgiving and unpredictable.
