American Fiction American Fiction is a comedy-drama film written and directed by Cord Jefferson. Based on the 2001 novel Erasure by Percival Everett, it follows a frustrated novelist-professor who writes an outlandish satire of stereotypical “black” books. It was named one of the top 10 films of 2023 by the American Film Institute. Anatomy of a Fall Anatomy of a Fall is a 2023 French legal drama thriller film, directed by Justine Triet from a screenplay she co-wrote with Arthur Harari. It is about a writer trying to prove her innocence in her husband’s death, which brings the audience fear. It was released theatrically in France by Le Pacte on 23 August, 2023. The film has won two awards at the Golden Globes. Barbie Barbie is a 2023 fantasy comedy film directed by Greta Gerwig from a screenplay she wrote with Noah Baumbach. Based on the eponymous fashion dolls by Mattel, the film stars Margot Robbie as the title character and Ryan Gosling as Ken, and follows the pair on a journey of self-discovery through both Barbie land and the real world. The Holdovers The Holdovers is a 2023 American comedy-drama film directed by Alexander Payne. The film is about a strict classics teacher at a New England boarding school who is forced to look after a handful of students. 1. Anatomy of a Fall is a ____________ film. A. war B. horror C. fantasy D. disaster 2. Which film would a doll fan prefer to watch? A. American Fiction. B. Anatomy of a Fall. C. Barbie. D. The Holdovers. 3. What do the four films have in common? A. They are comedy films. B. They are American films. C. They were based on screenplays. D. They were released in the same year. B Never letting my friends post pictures of me online, I didn’t have social media until 17. I had a smartphone from 11, and would text and call my friends a lot. The key difference was that I was a digital viewer, not a participant. When they asked why I didn’t have social media, my answer would change as the years passed. Initially, not being on social media as a teen did, unsurprisingly, made me feel secluded. Conversations between my friends would not always take place on text, but via social media. New gossip would circulate in the evenings, but I would only find out the next morning, by which point it was old news. Plus, there were certain new trends I just didn’t understand. At 14, I tried really hard to persuade my mum to let me be online. I told her it was more damaging to me not being on social media, but her response was that she could see things I couldn’t. I thought she was overstating and couldn’t completely understand what it was like to be a teen growing up in a digital generation. People ask me if I ever secretly downloaded social media during my teen years, but I didn’t. The main thing that stopped me was that the conversation was always left open. My parents never shut me down when I asked for it: they would ask why I wanted it and then explain the positives and negatives of what it would be like to be online at the age I was. We had a strong relationship, built on trust. I am so glad I entered social media as a fully formed person rather than being formed by it. I would not be the person I am today if I’d had social media during my adolescent years. 4. What does the underlined word “secluded” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Ashamed. B. Disconnected. C. Angry. D. Disappointed. 5. What can we infer from the author’s NOT being allowed to be on social media at 14? A. She lacked spare time. B. She had poor eyesight. C. Her parents were concerned about her physical safety. D. Her parents protected her from the negative impact of social media. 6. Why did the author never secretly download social media during her teen years? A. There was no Internet access. B. She had no idea how to do it by herself. C. She knew negative effects of social media. D. There was a strong trust between her and her parents through talks. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A. Social Media in Teenage Life B. A Must of Avoiding Social Media C. Growing up without Social Media D. My Teens Monitored by My Parents C Tai chi is known to increase flexibility and improve balance. Now, new research suggests it’s better than more vigorous aerobic (有氧的) exercise for lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension (高血压前期). In the new study, researchers in China randomly assigned 342 adults with prehypertension to one of two groups. The average age of participants was 49. Roughly half the people participated in guided aerobic exercise, including jogging, climbing stairs, and cycling. The other half was trained to practice tai chi. Both groups got hour-long sessions four times a week. After 12 months, those in the tai chi group saw bigger drops in their blood pressure than those in the aerobic exercise group. What’s more, nearly 22% of the people who practiced tai chi saw their blood pressure fall to within normal range, compared with nearly 16% of people in the aerobic exercise group. And fewer patients in the tai chi group went on to develop hypertension than in the aerobic exercise group. So how does tai chi help lower blood pressure? “The practice tends to stimulate more of a response from the Parasympathetic Nervous System (副交感神经系统) or PNS for short.” says Ruth Taylor-Piliae, a professor at the University of Arizona’s College of Nursing. The PNS is the network of nerves that relaxes your body after periods of stress or danger. “The PNS helps us relax everything, and I think it is the response that is lowering blood pressure,” says Ruth Taylor-Piliae, “I think it’s also the meditative quality of tai chi.” The practice is appealing as a form of exercise because it requires little space or equipment. “I think the beauty of tai chi is that you don’t have to own a special gym membership; you don’t have to buy special clothing” Ruth Taylor-Piliae says. “Once you learn tai chi, you can do it anytime, anyplace, anywhere. And it does provide that calming, relaxing effect.” 8. What is the main focus of the research in the text? A. The impact of prehypertension on health. B. The benefits of aerobic exercise on health. C. The effect of tai chi on lowering blood pressure. D. The role of the Parasympathetic Nervous System in exercise. 9. What can we infer about the study from paragraph 2 and 3? A. Tai chi group gained more benefits. B. Participants were adults chosen at random. C. Age and gender were taken into consideration. D. Aerobic exercise group hardly developed hypertension. 10. According to Ruth Taylor-Piliae which is the key factor in tai chi’s impact on blood pressure? A. Responses from the PNS. B. Increased intensity of exercise. C. Activation of the nervous system. D Requirements of special equipment for practice. 11. What does Ruth Taylor-Piliae think of tai chi? A. Costly. B. Convenient. C. Instructive. D. Demanding. D An atmospheric researcher Lubna Dada, who is part of an international project called CLOUD, and her team conducted a new study. The study looks at the role of trees and the natural compounds (混合物) they release into the atmosphere in cloud formation. The goal is to more precisely understand the climate before the Industrial Revolution — and how it’s changed since. Clouds are not only important for the weather — they also help shape the climate. Some clouds act as a layer of protection between incoming solar radiation and Earth, cooling the atmosphere. Other clouds do the opposite: they act like a blanket and trap heat. “But many current climate models don’t account for either the warming or cooling effects of clouds, or the role aerosols play in cloud formation. That is the biggest uncertainty in climate science at present.” Dada says. Dada and the team are trying to figure it out using a steel, cylindrical room that roughly recreates the atmosphere. To do that, the team covers the room with tape. It has lights that seem like different layers of the atmosphere, and the researchers can change the humidity and temperature levels to create a given geographic location. Then, Dada and her team can add specific vapors into the room to study their effects. Dada says that previous research has looked at the effects of two kinds of organic emissions released by plants: monoterpenes and isoprene. But another kind of compound, sesquiterpenes (倍半萜烯), has largely been ignored. In a recent study from the CLOUD project, scientists tested the effects of sesquiterpenes on cloud formation. They added all three compounds — monoterpenes, isoprene and sesquiterpenes — into the CLOUD room to see how many new particles (微粒) formed. They found that sesquiterpenes formed ten times more particles than the other two substances at the same concentrations. Dada says this finding will help scientists understand the role natural emissions played in the preindustrial climate and how much humans have changed that. 12. Why did the researchers conduct the study? A. To recreate the preindustrial climate. B. To explore the warming effects of clouds. C. To understand cloud formation and climate changes better. D. To access the impact of trees on weather patterns more precisely. 13. What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Climate model. B. Cloud formation. C. The cooling effect of clouds. D. The warming effect of clouds. 14. What can be inferred about the compound — sesquiterpene? A. It plays a significant role in cloud formation. B. It is more important than the other two compounds. C. It has been largely ignored in the previous research. D. It forms less particles than the other two compounds. 15. In which section of a magazine can readers find this text? A. Entertainment. B. Finance. C. Culture. D. Environment. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Picky eater?

Having failed the college entrance exams and changed schools twice, I seldom smiled. Every day I would sit at the desk, staring into textbooks and exercises, motionless and heavy-hearted. However, my classmates were in a different picture. They were playing, laughing and chatting delightedly. Besides, I hated it when they were always answering the teachers’ questions, loudly and confidently. Obviously, I had no friends in this fiercely competitive class. Life is harder for senior students. Hardly does a day go by without exercises or tests. Every time when the scores came out mine wouldn’t be the first or second but last. I was especially tired of the endless exercises and exams, which I seemingly would never do well in. I was under a lot of pressure, feeling like a fish being fried in a pan. Hanging over me was a dark cloud. The only dim light came from Mr. Smith. Every time I stepped into the classroom, he welcomed me with a warm smile; every time my gaze began to wander over the classroom or stare out of the window, his caring eyes would draw me back to his class. Besides, he was the only teacher who invited me to the office, talking about my studies and scores. I remembered when I came out of his office, I felt refreshed believing that I could work harder. I was feeling everything was changing for the better. I prepared hard for the final exam of the first semester, desiring to prove that I was not the last one. So before Mr. Smith told us the test result, I was expecting something good in store for me. But I was still the last one in the class. A burst of sadness and shame consuming me, I was heartbroken. 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。 Right at that moment, Mr. Smith invited me to his office. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the college admission letter came. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★启用前 2024年茂名市高三年级第二次综合测试 英语试卷 试卷共8页，卷面满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号和座位号填写在答题卡上。将条形码横贴在答题卡右上角“条形码粘贴处”。 2. 作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔在答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案，答案不能答在试卷上。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Four Nominees for the Best Picture of 2024 Oscar Here are four nominees for the Best Picture of the 96th Academy Awards.

I had a smartphone from 11, and would text and call my friends a lot. The key difference was that I was a digital viewer, not a participant. When they asked why I didn’t have social media, my answer would change as the years passed. Initially, not being on social media as a teen did, unsurprisingly, made me feel secluded. Conversations between my friends would not always take place on text, but via social media. New gossip would circulate in the evenings, but I would only find out the next morning, by which point it was old news. Plus, there were certain new trends I just didn’t understand.

We had a strong relationship, built on trust. I am so glad I entered social media as a fully formed person rather than being formed by it.

Disappointed. 5. What can we infer from the author’s NOT being allowed to be on social media at 14? A. She lacked spare time. B. She had poor eyesight. C. Her parents were concerned about her physical safety. D. Her parents protected her from the negative impact of social media. 6. Why did the author never secretly download social media during her teen years? A. There was no Internet access. B. She had no idea how to do it by herself. C. She knew negative effects of social media. D. There was a strong trust between her and her parents through talks. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A. Social Media in Teenage Life B. A Must of Avoiding Social Media C. Growing up without Social Media D. My Teens Monitored by My Parents 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者直到17岁才拥有社交媒体，在此之前作者一直是一个数字旁观者。作者的父母认为社交媒体会对作者产生负面影响，因此没有允许作者使用社交媒体。作者也很庆幸自己在成年后才进入社交媒体，因为社交媒体并没有塑造自己。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“New gossip would circulate in the evenings, but I would only find out the next morning, by which point it was old news. Plus, there were certain new trends I just didn’t understand.（晚上会有新的八卦流传，但我只能在第二天早上才发现，而那时已经是旧闻了。此外，还有一些我不理解的新趋势。）”可知，作者因为没有社交媒体，所以无法参与晚上的聊天，只能在第二天早上才知道发生了什么，也无法理解一些新的趋势。由此可知，作者作为一个青少年，没有社交媒体让他感到被孤立了。故划线词的意思是“被孤立的”，与disconnected的意思最为接近。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“At 14, I tried really hard to persuade my mum to let me be online. I told her it was more damaging to me not being on social media, but her response was that she could see things I couldn’t.（14岁的时候，我非常努力地说服妈妈让我上网。我告诉她，我不上社交媒体对我的伤害更大，但她的回答是，她能看到我看不到的东西。）”可知，作者的妈妈认为社交媒体会对作者产生负面影响，所以没有允许作者使用社交媒体。由此可知，作者的父母保护她免受社交媒体的负面影响。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“People ask me if I ever secretly downloaded social media during my teen years, but I didn’t. The main thing that stopped me was that the conversation was always left open. My parents never shut me down when I asked for it: they would ask why I wanted it and then explain the positives and negatives of what it would be like to be online at the age I was. We had a strong relationship, built on trust.（人们问我在青少年时期是否曾偷偷下载过社交媒体，但我没有。阻止我的主要原因是，我们的对话总是保持开放。当我提出要求时，我的父母从来没有拒绝过我：他们会问我为什么想要它，然后解释在我这个年龄上网会是什么样子的积极和消极方面。我们的关系很牢固，建立在信任的基础上。）”可知，作者在青少年时期没有偷偷下载社交媒体，是因为她和父母之间有很强的信任关系，通过对话解决了这个问题。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“I am so glad I entered social media as a fully formed person rather than being formed by it. I would not be the person I am today if I’d had social media during my adolescent years.（我很高兴我是作为一个完全形成的人进入社交媒体的，而不是被它塑造的。如果我在青少年时期就有社交媒体，我就不会是今天的我。）”可知，作者在成年后才进入社交媒体，并且认为这对她的成长和发展有很大的帮助。由此可知，“Growing up without Social Media（在没有社交媒体的环境中成长）”最能概括文章主旨。故选C。 C Tai chi is known to increase flexibility and improve balance. Now, new research suggests it’s better than more vigorous aerobic (有氧的) exercise for lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension (高血压前期).

The PNS is the network of nerves that relaxes your body after periods of stress or danger. “The PNS helps us relax everything, and I think it is the response that is lowering blood pressure,” says Ruth Taylor-Piliae, “I think it’s also the meditative quality of tai chi.” The practice is appealing as a form of exercise because it requires little space or equipment. “I think the beauty of tai chi is that you don’t have to own a special gym membership; you don’t have to buy special clothing,” Ruth Taylor-Piliae says. “Once you learn tai chi, you can do it anytime, anyplace, anywhere. And it does provide that calming, relaxing effect.” 8. What is the main focus of the research in the text? A. The impact of prehypertension on health. B. The benefits of aerobic exercise on health. C. The effect of tai chi on lowering blood pressure. D. The role of the Parasympathetic Nervous System in exercise. 9. What can we infer about the study from paragraph 2 and 3? A. Tai chi group gained more benefits. B. Participants were adults chosen at random. C. Age and gender were taken into consideration. D. Aerobic exercise group hardly developed hypertension. 10. According to Ruth Taylor-Piliae, which is the key factor in tai chi’s impact on blood pressure? A. Responses from the PNS. B. Increased intensity of exercise. C. Activation of the nervous system. D. Requirements of special equipment for practice. 11. What does Ruth Taylor-Piliae think of tai chi? A. Costly. B. Convenient. C. Instructive. D. Demanding. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现太极比剧烈的有氧运动更能降低高血压前期人群的血压。文章详细介绍了研究过程、结果以及太极可能有助于降低血压的原因，并强调了太极作为锻炼方式的便利性和普适性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章首段“Now, new research suggests it’s better than more vigorous aerobic (有氧的) exercise for lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension (高血压前期).”（现在，新的研究表明，对于高血压前期的人来说，它比更剧烈的有氧运动更能降低血压。）可知，文中研究的主要焦点是太极对降低血压的影响。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“And fewer patients in the tai chi group went on to develop hypertension than in the aerobic exercise group.”（太极组中继续发展成高血压的患者比有氧运动组少。）可以推断出，太极组获得了更多的益处。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中Ruth Taylor-Piliae的话“The PNS helps us relax everything, and I think it is the response that is lowering blood pressure,”（副交感神经系统帮助我们放松一切，我认为正是这种反应降低了血压，）可知，根据Ruth Taylor-Piliae的说法，太极对血压影响的关键因素是来自副交感神经系统的反应。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中Ruth Taylor-Piliae的评价“I think the beauty of tai chi is that you don’t have to own a special gym membership; you don’t have to buy special clothing”（我认为太极的美妙之处在于你不必拥有特殊的健身房会员资格；你不必购买特殊的服装）”以及“once you learn tai chi, you can do it anytime, anyplace, anywhere.（一旦你学会了太极，你可以随时随地做。）”可推知，Ruth Taylor-Piliae认为太极是方便的。故选B项。 D An atmospheric researcher Lubna Dada, who is part of an international project called CLOUD, and her team conducted a new study. The study looks at the role of trees and the natural compounds (混合物) they release into the atmosphere in cloud formation. The goal is to more precisely understand the climate before the Industrial Revolution — and how it’s changed since. Clouds are not only important for the weather — they also help shape the climate. Some clouds act as a layer of protection between incoming solar radiation and Earth, cooling the atmosphere. Other clouds do the opposite: they act like a blanket and trap heat. “But many current climate models don’t account for either the warming or cooling effects of clouds, or the role aerosols play in cloud formation. That is the biggest uncertainty in climate science at present.” Dada says. Dada and the team are trying to figure it out using a steel, cylindrical room that roughly recreates the atmosphere. To do that, the team covers the room with tape. It has lights that seem like different layers of the atmosphere, and the researchers can change the humidity and temperature levels to create a given geographic location. Then, Dada and her team can add specific vapors into the room to study their effects. Dada says that previous research has looked at the effects of two kinds of organic emissions released by plants: monoterpenes and isoprene. But another kind of compound, sesquiterpenes (倍半萜烯), has largely been ignored. In a recent study from the CLOUD project, scientists tested the effects of sesquiterpenes on cloud formation. They added all three compounds — monoterpenes, isoprene and sesquiterpenes — into the CLOUD room to see how many new particles (微粒) formed. They found that sesquiterpenes formed ten times more particles than the other two substances at the same concentrations. Dada says this finding will help scientists understand the role natural emissions played in the preindustrial climate and how much humans have changed that. 12. Why did the researchers conduct the study? A. To recreate the preindustrial climate. B. To explore the warming effects of clouds. C. To understand cloud formation and climate changes better. D. To access the impact of trees on weather patterns more precisely. 13. What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Climate model. B. Cloud formation. C. The cooling effect of clouds. D. The warming effect of clouds. 14. What can be inferred about the compound — sesquiterpene? A. It plays a significant role in cloud formation. B. It is more important than the other two compounds. C. It has been largely ignored in the previous research. D. It forms less particles than the other two compounds. 15. In which section of a magazine can readers find this text? A. Entertainment. B. Finance. C. Culture. D. Environment. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科技说明文，介绍了大气研究员Lubna Dada及其团队通过CLOUD项目对树木释放的天然化合物在云形成中的作用进行的研究。研究旨在更准确地理解工业革命前的气候及其之后的变化。实验发现倍半萜烯在相同浓度下形成的微粒数量是另外两种物质的十倍，这有助于科学家理解自然排放在工业化前气候中的作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The study looks at the role of trees and the natural compounds (混合物) they release into the atmosphere in cloud formation. The goal is to more precisely understand the climate before the Industrial Revolution — and how it’s changed since.(这项研究着眼于树木和它们在云形成过程中释放到大气中的天然化合物的作用。其目标是更精确地了解工业革命前的气候，以及工业革命后的气候变化)”可知，这项研究的目的是更好地了解云的形成和气候变化。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“But many current climate models don’t account for either the warming or cooling effects of clouds, or the role aerosols play in cloud formation. That is the biggest uncertainty in climate science at present.(但目前的许多气候模型既没有考虑到云的增温或降温效应，也没有考虑到气溶胶在云形成中的作用。那是目前气候科学中最大的不确定性)”和指代关系可推知，指示代词That(单数，指代单数名词或不可数名词)指代是的上文中提到的“cloud formation”。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“In a recent study from the CLOUD project, scientists tested the effects of sesquiterpenes on cloud formation. They added all three compounds — monoterpenes, isoprene and sesquiterpenes — into the CLOUD room to see how many new particles (微粒) formed.

Having failed the college entrance exams and changed schools twice, I seldom smiled. Every day I would sit at the desk, staring into textbooks and exercises, motionless and heavy-hearted. However, my classmates were in a different picture. They were playing, laughing and chatting delightedly. Besides, I hated it when they were always answering the teachers’ questions, loudly and confidently. Obviously, I had no friends in this fiercely competitive class. Life is harder for senior students. Hardly does a day go by without exercises or tests. Every time when the scores came out mine wouldn’t be the first or second but last. I was especially tired of the endless exercises and exams, which I seemingly would never do well in. I was under a lot of pressure, feeling like a fish being fried in a pan. Hanging over me was a dark cloud. The only dim light came from Mr. Smith. Every time I stepped into the classroom, he welcomed me with a warm smile; every time my gaze began to wander over the classroom or stare out of the window, his caring eyes would draw me back to his class. Besides, he was the only teacher who invited me to the office, talking about my studies and scores. I remembered when I came out of his office, I felt refreshed believing that I could work harder. I was feeling everything was changing for the better. I prepared hard for the final exam of the first semester, desiring to prove that I was not the last one. So before Mr. Smith told us the test result, I was expecting something good in store for me. But I was still the last one in the class. A burst of sadness and shame consuming me, I was heartbroken. 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。 Right at that moment, Mr. Smith invited me to his office. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the college admission letter came. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考答案 Right at that moment, Mr. Smith invited me to his office. Hesitantly, I walked into the office. Mr. Smith greeted me with a smile. As he began talking, not about my grades or mistakes, but about my potential and perseverance, it became apparent that this talk was totally a different one. He didn’t blame me. Instead, he praised my resilience and determination. He encouraged me to embrace my struggles, reminding me that success was never a straight path. In his eyes, I could see his belief in me, and I knew I should never quit. Finally, the college admission letter came. I held it in my shaking hands, doubting whether I was in a world of fantasy. But as I opened the envelope, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Despite all the odds, I got admitted! I stared at the letter in disbelief for a long time. It felt like the dawn after a seemingly endless night, a reward for the perseverance I didn’t know I had until Mr. Smith showed me. Tears welling up in my eyes. Mr. Smith might never know how much his encouragement might mean to me in my toughest time. 【解析】 【导语】本文以情感发展为线索展开，讲述了作者因高考失利、转学两次，心情沉重，感到孤独和无助。在班级竞争激烈的环境中，作者成绩不佳，压力巨大。然而，史密斯老师的关心和鼓励给了作者温暖和力量，最终帮助作者走出低谷，成功被大学录取。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在那一刻，史密斯先生邀请我去他的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写作者在史密斯先生的办公室里，史密斯先生对作者的鼓励和支持，以及作者的内心感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，大学录取通知书来了。”可知，第二段可描写作者收到大学录取通知书后的喜悦和激动，以及对史密斯先生的感激之情。 2.续写线索：邀请——鼓励——内心感受——收到通知书——喜悦——感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①邀请：invite/call in/ask for ②鼓励：encourage/inspire/urge ③收到：receive/get/obtain 情绪类 ①喜悦：delight/happiness/joy ②感激：gratitude/appreciation/thankfulness 【点睛】[高分句型1].
