B Ten years ago Kristin Schell and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. She tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting reading activities and playgroups. But those activities required planning ahead and arranging schedules, not to mention cooking and cleaning. One day, Kristin needed backyard furniture for a party and bought a few picnic tables from Lowe’s. The delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. After the party, Kristin painted the table turquoise (绿松石色) and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk. That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. For activities they used to do at the kitchen table, they now did out front at the picnic table. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people.’ Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. The turquoise table was inviting and we had a shared feel.” Construction workers in the neighborhood took their lunch breaks at the table. A babysitter walking by with her young child sat down to rest. Then neighbors told Kristi their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. Soon “The Turquoise Table”was born, a movement of ordinary people who want to gather right in their own front yards. “At the picnic table, all we have to do is show up. People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” Kristin says. She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward building relationships in her community. A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries in the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. Texas Christian University in Fort Worth has several purple tables to match their team colors, for example. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says. 4. Why did Kristin host activities when she moved to a new home? A. To promote the community service. B. To make plans for community events. C. To build good relationship with neighbors. D. To help neighbors with cooking and cleaning. 5. How did the turquoise table change Kristin’s family? A. They started staying indoors more time. B. They became more private and superior. C. They began to spend more time outside together. D. They stopped hosting reading activities and playgroups. 6. Why would people like to join in the Turquoise Table movement? A. To spread the color turquoise. B. To improve communication skills. C. To start a business selling picnic tables. D. To create community connections in front yards. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Turquoise—A Color That Can Match All the Tables B. Everyday Greatness—Tables Where All Are Welcome C. The Turquoise Table—A Worldwide Movement on Picnic D. Community Gathering Activities—People’s Greatest Need C Plenty of robots are inspired by existing animals, but not as many take their cue from extinct creatures. Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers looked over 500-million years back in time for guidance. Their result, presented during the 68th Biophysical Society Annual Meeting, is an underwater soft robot modeled after one of the sea urchin’s (海胆的) oldest ancestors. Pleurocystitids (侧囊虫) swam in the oceans around half a billion years ago — about the same time experts now believe jellyfish first appeared. Pleurocystitids featured a muscular, tail-like structure that likely allowed them to better move underwater. After studying CT scans of the animal’s fossilized remains, researchers fed the data into a computer program to analyze and offer mobility simulations (模拟). While no one knows for sure exactly how pleurocystitids moved around, the team determined the most logical possibility likely involved side-to-side sweeping tail motions that allowed it to move forward across the ocean floor. This theory is also strengthened by fossil records, which indicate the animal’s tail lengthened over time to make them move faster without the need for much more energy. From there, engineers built their own long-tailed, soft robot-pleurocystitid. To the casual viewer, the video of the mechanical monster clumsily moving across the ground inch by inch may seem to imply why the pleurocysitid is long gone. But according to Richard Desatnick, a Carnegie Mellon PhD student, the ancient animal likely deserves more credit. “There are animals that were very successful for millions of years and the reason why they died out wasn’t from a lack of success from their biology — there may have been a massive environmental change or extinction event,” Desatnick said in a recent profile. The Carnegie Mellon team believes their soft robot could offer a variety of uses — including surveying dangerous geological localions, and helping out with underwater machine repairs. More flexible robot-pleurocystitids may one day glide through the waters. Even if nearby sea stars and urchins don’t recognize it, neither would they exist without their shared source of inspiration. 8. Why did CMU researchers study the extinct sea creature? A. To save the existing animals. B. To design an underwater robot. C. To explore underwater resources. D. To seek the sea creature’s ancestor. 9. How did the team get information about pleurocystitids’ movement? A. By studying its fossil records. B. By conducting experiments. C. By analyzing its living environment. D. By referring to its biological knowledge. 10. What does the underlined word “clumsily” mean in paragraph 4? A. Smartly. B. Purposefully. C. Awkwardly. D. Delicately. 11. What can be inferred from the text? A. The robot-pleurocystitid will have a bright future. B. The sea stars and urchins will inspire a new robot. C Pleurocystitids died out due to lack of biological evolution. D. Extinct sea creatures come back to life due to new technology. D In an era of digital technology, the art of writing by hand has slowly been downgraded to a past entertainment. However, recent research suggests that this physical act is essential to brain health and development, having multiple cognitive (认知的) benefits. It is time we should reevaluate the potential benefits it may have on our mental capacities. According to numerous studies, writing by hand stimulates more complex and diverse brain connections essential for encoding new information and forming memories. For instance, a recent investigation found that brain connectivity patterns were far more complicated and widespread for participants who wrote by hand compared to those who typed. Thus, it is clear that handwriting has a distinct and significant impact on our brain health. Handwriting isn’t just good for our brains health—it also has clear, practical benefits. Research has shown that students who take handwritten notes score significantly higher on quizzes, demonstrating improved learning. This extends beyond the classroom too. People who recorded information on paper calendars demonstrated more brain activity and recalled information faster than those who used smartphones. The act of handwriting, therefore, could be a valuable tool for students preparing for exams and adults managing daily tasks. Despite its clear benefits, handwriting has been on the decline. However, 25states in the US have reintroduced writing back into school curriculums. This is a step in the right direction, as previous research has also indicated that handwriting is essential in children’s brain development. Preliterate (未识字的) children who wrote by hand demonstrated brain activity in a circuit of the brain used in learning to read, further strengthening the link between handwriting and cognitive development. It is clear that handwriting is a valuable activity that has the potential to enhance our brain health, learning, memory, and problem-solving skills. As we continue to navigate the digital age, it is important not to overlook the value of this seemingly simple activity. So, the next time you reach for your keyboard, remember the benefits of picking up a pen instead. 12. What do people usually think of handwriting at present? A. It has become an old-fashioned skill. B. It has many cognitive benefits in life. C. It has been replaced by digital devices. D. It has been a popular entertainment. 13. What does the author mainly show about handwriting in paragraph 3? A. It is beneficial to brain health. B. It helps students score higher on quizzes. C. It stimulates diverse brain connection. D. It has good effects on learning and memory. 14. Why is previous research mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To make a comparison. B. To add further evidence. C. To show different opinions. D. To explain the brain activity. 15. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To illustrate a finding on handwriting. B. To emphasize the importance of handwriting. C. To show the wide application of handwriting. D. To introduce the artistic value of handwriting. 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。 Tips on how to be a good roommate It can be a wonderful and satisfying experience to have roommates to share a home with.

Her family had faced financial struggles since her father’s business went down, leaving them in debt. To make matters worse, Emily's mother had fallen ill, adding medical bills to their list of concerns. Despite these challenges, Emily refused to let adversity define her. She worked tirelessly after school to support her family and kept up with her studies, determined to secure a scholarship for college. One day, as she was browsing the internet for potential scholarship opportunities, Emily came across an article about a local charity event that offered a full scholarship to the winner of a talent competition. Without hesitation, she decided to enter the talent competition. Emily was an accomplished pianist, having practiced piano for hours every day throughout her childhood. She poured her heart into practicing for the competition, hoping it would be her ticket to a better future. On the day of the competition, Emily felt a mix of nerves and excitement. She watched as other contestants showcased their talents—some sang, others danced, and a few of the contestants played instruments. When it was her turn, Emily took a deep breath and began to play. Her fingers moved gracefully over the keys, and the melody filled the room. She was nearly absorbed in the pieces that she had practiced hundreds of times. As the last note echoed, the audience erupted in applause. The judges discussed for a while before finally announcing the winner. To Emily’s dismay, she didn’t win the scholarship. The judges praised her performance but said they were looking for something “different” this year. Emily left the event feeling defeated, wondering when she would ever escape her difficult circumstances. Despite not winning the scholarship, Emily realized that sometimes, when one door closes, another opens. Her perseverance and determination had led her to a path she never could have imagined. 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。 As she walked home, lost in thought, a stranger approached her. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily was overjoyed and gratefully accepted the judge’s offer. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024届高三信息押题卷（二）新高考I卷 英语试题 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 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 Mathcamp Mathcamp is an intensive 5-week-long summer program for mathematically talented teenagers, designed by the Mathematics Foundation of America to expose them to the beauty of advanced mathematical ideas and to new ways of thinking.

She tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting reading activities and playgroups.(十年前，Kristin Schell和她的家人搬到了德克萨斯州奥斯汀的新家。她试图通过举办阅读活动和游戏小组来与新邻居建立联系)”可知，Kristin Schell和她的家人搬到新家后，她试图通过举办阅读活动和游戏小组与邻居建立联系，由此可知，Kristin搬到新家后举办活动是为了与邻居搞好关系。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. For activities they used to do at the kitchen table, they now did out front at the picnic table. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. (那张绿松石桌子成了Krisan和她的孩子们玩耍的地方。因为他们以前在厨房餐桌上做的活动。他们现在在外面的野餐桌上做。他们玩游戏，做手工，吃零食)”可知，Krisan和她的孩子们现在经常在外面的餐桌上做一些活动，由此可知，绿松石色的桌子改变了Kristin一家，他们开始更多地待在户外。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Construction workers in the neighborhood took their lunch breaks at the table. A babysitter walking by with her young child sat down to rest. Then neighbors told Kristi their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. Soon “The Turquoise Table” was born, a movement of ordinary people who want to gather right in their own front yards.(附近的建筑工人在餐桌上吃午饭。一个带着小孩的保姆路过，坐下来休息。后来，邻居们告诉Kristi，他们家也可以在前院放一张野餐桌。不久，“绿松石桌”诞生了，这是一场普通人想要在自家前院聚会的运动)”可知，建筑工人在餐桌旁午休，保姆带着年幼的孩子坐下来休息，邻居们也打算在前院放一张野餐桌，很快，绿松石桌活动诞生了，结合第五段中的“She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward building relationships in her community.(她喜欢它能让她在社区中建立关系迈出一小步)”可知，Kristin很高兴一张野餐桌让她朝着建立社区联系迈出一小步，由此推断，人们纷纷加入绿松石餐桌运动是为了在自己的前院创建社群联系。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Ten years ago, Kristin Schell and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. She tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting reading activities and playgroups.(十年前，Kristin Schell和她的家人搬到了德克萨斯州奥斯汀的新家。她试图通过举办阅读活动和游戏小组来与新邻居建立联系)”可知，Kristin和家人搬到了德克萨斯州奥斯汀的新家后，想通过一些活动与新邻居建立联系，结合下文中的介绍的Kristin偶然在前院放了一张绿松石色的桌子，吸引更多人在此逗留，邻居纷纷效仿该做法，世界各地也都有了这种友好的餐桌的故事，由此推断，所以标题“日常的伟大——欢迎所有人的餐桌”与文本内容一致，适合作文章标题。故选B项。 C Plenty of robots are inspired by existing animals, but not as many take their cue from extinct creatures.

The Carnegie Mellon team believes their soft robot could offer a variety of uses — including surveying dangerous geological localions, and helping out with underwater machine repairs. More flexible robot-pleurocystitids may one day glide through the waters. Even if nearby sea stars and urchins don’t recognize it, neither would they exist without their shared source of inspiration. 8. Why did CMU researchers study the extinct sea creature? A. To save the existing animals. B. To design an underwater robot. C. To explore underwater resources. D. To seek the sea creature’s ancestor. 9. How did the team get information about pleurocystitids’ movement? A. By studying its fossil records. B. By conducting experiments. C. By analyzing its living environment. D. By referring to its biological knowledge. 10. What does the underlined word “clumsily” mean in paragraph 4? A. Smartly. B. Purposefully. C. Awkwardly. D. Delicately. 11. What can be inferred from the text? A. The robot-pleurocystitid will have a bright future. B. The sea stars and urchins will inspire a new robot. C. Pleurocystitids died out due to lack of biological evolution. D. Extinct sea creatures come back to life due to new technology. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍一种灭绝了5亿年的海洋生物激发了一种新型软体机器人的灵感。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Plenty of robots are inspired by existing animals, but not as many take their cue from extinct creatures. Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers looked over 500-million years back in time for guidance. Their result, presented during the 68th Biophysical Society Annual Meeting, is an underwater soft robot modeled after one of the sea urchin’s (海胆的) oldest ancestors.(很多机器人的灵感都来自于现存的动物，但很少有机器人是从灭绝的动物那里得到灵感的。卡耐基梅隆大学的研究人员回顾了5亿多年前的历史，以寻求指导。他们的成果在第68届生物物理学会年会上展示，是一个模仿海胆最古老祖先之一的水下软机器人)”可知，卡内基梅隆大学研究人员研究已灭绝的海洋生物是为了设计水下机器人。故选B。 9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After studying CT scans of the animal’s fossilized remains, researchers fed the data into a computer program to analyze and offer mobility simulations (模拟).(在研究了动物化石残骸的CT扫描后，研究人员将数据输入计算机程序进行分析并提供移动模拟)”可知，研究小组通过研究侧囊虫化石残骸记录获得其运动信息。故选A。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“To the casual viewer, the video of the mechanical monster”以及后文“clumsily moving across the ground inch by inch may seem to imply why the pleurocysitid is long gone.”可知，对于普通观众来说，机械怪物在地面上缓慢移动的镜头似乎暗示了为什么侧囊虫早已消失。根据后面的inch by inch和下文 Richard认为可能不是生理原因使它灭绝的，可推知，划线词意思是“笨拙地”。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Carnegie Mellon team believes their soft robot could offer a variety of uses—including surveying dangerous geological localions, and helping out with underwater machine repairs. More flexible robot-pleurocystitids may one day glide through the waters.(卡耐基梅隆大学的研究小组认为，他们的软体机器人可以提供多种用途，包括测量危险的地质位置，以及帮助水下机器维修。也许有一天，更灵活的机器人——胸膜囊机器人会在水中滑行)”可推断侧囊虫机器人将有很好的未来。故选A。 D In an era of digital technology, the art of writing by hand has slowly been downgraded to a past entertainment. However, recent research suggests that this physical act is essential to brain health and development, having multiple cognitive (认知的) benefits. It is time we should reevaluate the potential benefits it may have on our mental capacities. According to numerous studies, writing by hand stimulates more complex and diverse brain connections essential for encoding new information and forming memories. For instance, a recent investigation found that brain connectivity patterns were far more complicated and widespread for participants who wrote by hand compared to those who typed. Thus, it is clear that handwriting has a distinct and significant impact on our brain health. Handwriting isn’t just good for our brains health—it also has clear, practical benefits. Research has shown that students who take handwritten notes score significantly higher on quizzes, demonstrating improved learning. This extends beyond the classroom too. People who recorded information on paper calendars demonstrated more brain activity and recalled information faster than those who used smartphones. The act of handwriting, therefore, could be a valuable tool for students preparing for exams and adults managing daily tasks. Despite its clear benefits, handwriting has been on the decline. However, 25states in the US have reintroduced writing back into school curriculums. This is a step in the right direction, as previous research has also indicated that handwriting is essential in children’s brain development. Preliterate (未识字的) children who wrote by hand demonstrated brain activity in a circuit of the brain used in learning to read, further strengthening the link between handwriting and cognitive development. It is clear that handwriting is a valuable activity that has the potential to enhance our brain health, learning, memory, and problem-solving skills. As we continue to navigate the digital age, it is important not to overlook the value of this seemingly simple activity. So, the next time you reach for your keyboard, remember the benefits of picking up a pen instead. 12. What do people usually think of handwriting at present? A. It has become an old-fashioned skill. B. It has many cognitive benefits in life. C. It has been replaced by digital devices. D. It has been a popular entertainment. 13. What does the author mainly show about handwriting in paragraph 3? A. It is beneficial to brain health. B. It helps students score higher on quizzes. C. It stimulates diverse brain connection. D. It has good effects on learning and memory. 14. Why is previous research mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To make a comparison. B. To add further evidence. C. To show different opinions. D. To explain the brain activity. 15. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To illustrate a finding on handwriting. B. To emphasize the importance of handwriting. C. To show the wide application of handwriting. D. To introduce the artistic value of handwriting. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，论述我们应该重新评估书写对我们的心智能力的益处，未来它将成为教育的重要组成部分。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In an era of digital technology, the art of writing by hand has slowly been downgraded to a past entertainment.(在数字技术时代，手写的艺术已经慢慢沦为一种过时的娱乐)”可知，人们通常把手写看成一种已经过时的技能。故选A。 13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Handwriting isn’t just good for our brains health—it also has clear, practical benefits. Research has shown that students who take handwritten notes score significantly higher on quizzes, demonstrating improved learning. This extends beyond the classroom too. People who recorded information on paper calendars demonstrated more brain activity and recalled information faster than those who used smartphones. The act of handwriting, therefore, could be a valuable tool for students preparing for exams and adults managing daily tasks.(手写不仅对我们的大脑健康有好处——它还有明显的、实际的好处。研究表明，做手写笔记的学生在测验中得分明显更高，这表明他们的学习能力有所提高。这也延伸到了课堂之外。在纸质日历上记录信息的人比使用智能手机的人大脑活动更活跃，回忆信息的速度也更快。因此，对于准备考试的学生和管理日常事务的成年人来说，书写的行为可能是一个有价值的工具)”可知，该段主要讲述手写对学习和记忆的影响。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Despite its clear benefits, handwriting has been on the decline. However, 25states in the US have reintroduced writing back into school curriculums. This is a step in the right direction, as previous research has also indicated that handwriting is essential in children’s brain development. Preliterate (未识字的) children who wrote by hand demonstrated brain activity in a circuit of the brain used in learning to read, further strengthening the link between handwriting and cognitive development.(尽管有明显的好处，但手写一直在走下坡路。然而，美国已有25个州将写作重新引入学校课程。这是朝着正确方向迈出的一步，因为之前的研究也表明，书写对儿童的大脑发育至关重要。识字之前用手写字的儿童在学习阅读的大脑回路中表现出大脑活动，进一步加强了书写和认知发展之间的联系)”可推断，该段提及从前的研究是为了进一步证实书写的好处。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In an era of digital technology, the art of writing by hand has slowly been downgraded to a past entertainment. However, recent research suggests that this physical act is essential to brain health and development, having multiple cognitive (认知的) benefits. It is time we should reevaluate the potential benefits it may have on our mental capacities.(在数字技术时代，手写的艺术已经慢慢沦为一种过时的娱乐。然而，最近的研究表明，这种身体活动对大脑的健康和发育至关重要，有多种认知益处。是时候我们应该重新评估它对我们心智能力的潜在好处了)”结合文章论述强调了书写对我们的心智能力的益处，希望读者重视书写。即文章的目的是强调书写的重要性。故选B。 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。 Tips on how to be a good roommate It can be a wonderful and satisfying experience to have roommates to share a home with.

Her family had faced financial struggles since her father’s business went down, leaving them in debt. To make matters worse, Emily's mother had fallen ill, adding medical bills to their list of concerns. Despite these challenges, Emily refused to let adversity define her. She worked tirelessly after school to support her family and kept up with her studies, determined to secure a scholarship for college. One day, as she was browsing the internet for potential scholarship opportunities, Emily came across an article about a local charity event that offered a full scholarship to the winner of a talent competition. Without hesitation, she decided to enter the talent competition. Emily was an accomplished pianist, having practiced piano for hours every day throughout her childhood. She poured her heart into practicing for the competition, hoping it would be her ticket to a better future. On the day of the competition, Emily felt a mix of nerves and excitement. She watched as other contestants showcased their talents—some sang, others danced, and a few of the contestants played instruments. When it was her turn, Emily took a deep breath and began to play. Her fingers moved gracefully over the keys, and the melody filled the room. She was nearly absorbed in the pieces that she had practiced hundreds of times. As the last note echoed, the audience erupted in applause. The judges discussed for a while before finally announcing the winner. To Emily’s dismay, she didn’t win the scholarship. The judges praised her performance but said they were looking for something “different” this year. Emily left the event feeling defeated, wondering when she would ever escape her difficult circumstances. Despite not winning the scholarship, Emily realized that sometimes, when one door closes, another opens. Her perseverance and determination had led her to a path she never could have imagined. 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。 As she walked home, lost in thought, a stranger approached her. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emily was overjoyed and gratefully accepted the judge’s offer. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As she walked home, lost in thought, a stranger approached her. Emily’s heart raced as she tried to figure out what the stranger wanted. The man introduced himself as Mr. Thompson, one of the judges at the competition. He told Emily that although she hadn’t won, her performance had deeply moved him. Mr. Thompson owned a music school and offered Emily a part-time job teaching piano to children. He believed in her talent and wanted to help her pursue her dream. Emily was overjoyed and gratefully accepted the judge's offer. She began teaching at the music school, where she discovered a passion for mentoring young musicians. In time, Emily’s reputation grew, and more students sought her out. With the income from her new job and the money she saved from winning various local competitions, Emily was able to help her family pay off their debts and cover her mother’s medical expenses. Emily always remembered the lessons she learned during those challenging times—that sometimes, the greatest victory comes from the most difficult battle. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开，讲述了17岁少女艾米丽，因为家境贫困和母亲生病，她努力工作支持家庭，同时积极学习，期望能获得大学奖学金。她得知一场本地慈善活动举办的才艺比赛有奖学金，便决定参加，然而最终未能获得奖学金，尽管非常失望，但艾米丽并没有放弃的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当她走回家陷入沉思时，一个陌生人走近了她。”可知，第一段可描写“这个人自我介绍是比赛的评委之一，艾米丽的表演打动了他，他拥有一所音乐学校，想为艾米丽提供一份兼职工作”的相关细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“艾米丽喜出望外，感激地接受了评委的提议。”可知，第二段可描写“艾米丽开始在音乐学校教书，慢慢地名气越来越大，收入也增加了，她帮助家人还清债务并支付她母亲的医疗费用”的相关细节。 2.续写线索：艾米丽想知道他是谁——陌生人自我介绍——他被艾米丽的表演打动——他为艾米丽提供了一份兼职工作——艾米丽接受帮助——全身心投入工作——出名并赚更多的钱——还清债务并支付医疗费用——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①给某人提供某物：offer sb sth/supply sb with sth/provide sb with sth ②帮助： help/assist 情绪类 ①使感动：move/touch ②感激地：gratefully/thankfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】Emily’s heart raced as she tried to figure out what the stranger wanted.(使用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】With the income from her new job and the money she saved from winning various local competitions, Emily was able to help her family pay off their debts and cover her mother’s medical expenses.  (使用了with的复合结构和定语从句修饰先行词money) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
