B The Grammys celebrate the best in music; but behind every songwriter, performer, and producer that makes it to that stage are music teachers and educators who inspired them from a very young age. That’s why the Grammy Awards also hands out a Special Music Award, which recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to music education. This year, the award went to Annie Ray, the performing arts department chair and orchestra (管弦乐队) director at Annandale High School in Fairfax County, Virginia—a community with many poor people. With the creation of the Crescendo Orchestra, she works to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities. Additionally, she created a parent orchestra, in which 200 caregivers learn to play the same instrument as their child every year. Ray took home both a $ 10, 000 prize and a matching prize for her school’s music program. In an interview following the Merit Award ceremony, Ray credited her pupils for this award. “This is the students’ award,” she said. “I’m just lucky enough to have been a part of their journey and their process and to have been taught by them.” Now, Ray will use the prize money to buy instruments—something the school has struggled to do. She also plans to create an ongoing scholarship for students who want to become musicians and music educators when they graduate. For Ray, the moment appears to come full circle, since it was a music teacher who first changed her life at age 5. “The reason I am here is because a teacher changed my life and made me want to be a music educator,” she said. “The work is hard, but it is truly rewarding, and there’s nothing else like it.” 4. Who is the Special Music Award intended for? A. Songwriters. B. Music teachers. C. Music performers. D. Music producers. 5. Why did Ray set up the Crescendo Orchestra? A. To let parents learn about music. B. To provide students with access to music. C To make more money to support the community. D. To enable disabled students to become musicians. 6. What did Ray want to show in the interview? A. She helped her students a lot. B. Her students appreciated her teaching. C. Her students had a great talent for music. D. She won the award thanks to her students. 7. What does Ray think of her job? A. Creative. B. Easy. C. Worthwhile. D. Boring. C Thanksgiving is a time of year when we get together with our families and celebrate peace over a giant feast including roast turkey and pumpkin pie. There are many reasons why the pumpkin pie is made for Thanksgiving, one of which is related to the season. In the USA, Thanksgiving sits at the beginning of the fall season, and this is celebrated over a feast made up of seasonal food. Pumpkins are harvested in North America and Canada during the fall; therefore, being a seasonal crop, it is in richness at this time. In 1621 some of the earliest American settlers came across pumpkins for the first time and were new to eating it. Early recipes (食谱) describe ways of cooking pumpkins, which would have included hollowing out (挖空) a pumpkin and filling it with milk and honey. They would have then roasted this on a fire. It became a tradition for the Native Americans to bring the pumpkins to the settlers as gifts, and they showed them how to cook and prepare pumpkins. Pumpkin pie recipes began to appear in English-written American cookbooks in 1670. Some recipes included adding apples for added flavor (味道). Most recipes have continued to follow the basis of using pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, butter, and so on. The biggest pumpkin pie in the world was made on September 25, 2010, at the New Bremen Pumpkin Fest in Ohio. To make this large pie, 2,796 eggs, 525 pounds of sugar, and 1,212 pounds of canned pumpkin were used. After baking, the total weight of the pie was 3,699 pounds. The pumpkin pie was a creation made with the help and guidance of Native Americans and is an important part of celebrating Thanksgiving. 8. Why are pumpkins used to celebrate Thanksgiving according to Paragraph 2? A. Pumpkins are in season in autumn. B. People relate pumpkins to being rich. C. People in North America love eating pumpkins. D. Pumpkins stand for people’s wish for a happy life. 9. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The celebrations on Thanksgiving. B. The history of early American settlers. C. The early recipes for making pumpkin pie. D. The origin of cooking pumpkin on Thanksgiving. 10. Why are the numbers used in Paragraph 5? A. To show the pumpkin pie was extremely big. B. To describe the good taste of the pumpkin pie. C. To stress the difficulty in gathering pumpkins. D. To explain the process of making the pumpkin pie. 11. What is the suitable title of the text? A. Growing Crops for Thanksgiving B. Eating Pumpkin Pie at Thanksgiving C. The Biggest Pumpkin Pie in the World D. Traditions of Celebrating Thanksgiving D For years, animals have been used in the testing of medicine to make sure the products are safe to use for humans. A law that doesn’t require labs to test on animals any more has been signed recently. Before the new law was in place, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required new medicine to be tested on animals before the labs could move on to test on humans. Companies were required to test their products on animals like a monkey or dog. This causes companies to test on tens of thousands of animals every yar. Now the new law lifts the requirement for animal testing. According to Science, researchers have been wanting to move away from animal testing. Paul Locke, scientist and lawyer at Johns Hopkins University, told the website: “We have many important drugs that have been developed using animal tests. But as we get into some of these more difficult diseases, especially neurological (神经系统的) diseases, the animal models just aren’t serving us as well.” The chief scientist of the FDA says that they want to try and get rid of (摆脱) all animal testing. “We support other methods that are backed by science and provide the necessary data showing whether products are safe and effective,” Namandjé Bumpus told Science. One of their choices is called “organs-on-chips (器官芯片)”. These are small chips that contain human cells (细胞). The chips are used to test the effects of medicine. They mimic certain human body functions. For example, they are very soft, there can be some kind of blood flow and they are physically active, just as our bodies. Aysha Akhtar, a neurologist and president and CEO of the Center for Modern Sciences said: “The decision is still up to the FDA to decide whether the method is to be put into practice.” Anyway, Akhtar expects that new methods of testing will be used. 12. What does the new law state? A. New medicines are to be tested on humans. B. The requirement for animal testing is stopped. C. The skills of animal testing need to be improved. D. More animals are to be used to test new medicine. 13. Why do researchers want to get rid of animal testing? A. They think it difficult to find enough animals. B. Animal testing fails to function well sometimes. C. Some difficult illnesses get worse after animal testing. D. The medicine is too expensive to be tested on animals. 14. What does the underlined word “mimic” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Put an end to. B. Keep away from. C. Make up for. D. Model themselves on. 15. What is Akhtar’s attitude to new testing methods? A. Doubtful. B. Disapproving. C. Positive. D. Uninterested. 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。 It’s no secret that the Internet is home to some people with bad purposes.

The only thing I hoped to get from my Christmas wish list was a puppy (小狗). I had always dreamed of having a puppy, as I was the only child, and it could be quite lonely at times. However, I did not want to get my hopes up, as I knew neither of my parents liked the thought of having a puppy around the house and all that came with it. Every time I begged for a puppy, my parents would say, “It is a lot of responsibilities, and you will have to clean up after it, give it baths, feed it regularly and walk it.” I knew the responsibilities and was ready to take them on. Unfortunately, even with my enthusiasm (热情) and determination, my parents still disagreed to get me a puppy. There were very few chances of getting it, but I still tried asking them again that week. “Oh honey, pick something else instead. There are so many toys that you can pick,” my parents responded as usual. As expected, I thought, giving a resigned sigh (无奈的叹息). For the rest of the evening, I decorated the Christmas tree as my parents hung some stockings. That night, I went to sleep with the hope that my dream would ever come true. My alarm clock woke me up. “Oh my goodness, it is finally Christmas day!” I shouted excitedly and rushed down the stairs to the living room. “Good morning, Bella!” both my parents chatted with huge smiles on their faces that were brighter than usual. My curiosity was inspired and many questions rushed into my mind. They played Christmas carols, and they sang along to the merry tunes. Just then, I caught my father smiling at my mother as if they had a secret plan and walking out of the door. When I asked my mother where my father had gone, she simply said that he had gone to pick something up. I grew confused. 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。 I wondered what they could be hiding from me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I fell in love with the puppy at first sight and named her Daisy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 张家口市2023—2024学年度高一年级第二学期期中考试 英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级和考号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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?

Those who complete the hunt earn a prize!”（一个全馆寻宝活动帮助游客了解中国、印度、日本、韩国和越南的艺术和文化。完成寻宝的人将获得奖品！）可知，参观亚洲文化的游客会因为找到宝藏而获得奖品。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Join museum educators and artists to explore art-making activities inspired by Multiplicity: Blackness in Contem porary American Collage and experiment with new materials, tools, and processes to create your own works of art.”（加入博物馆教育工作者和艺术家，探索由《多元性：当代美国拼贴中的黑人》启发的艺术制作活动，并尝试新的材料、工具和过程，创作自己的艺术作品。）可知，美术博物馆提供了动手活动。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中各个博物馆的门票价格，亚洲协会的门票价格为“Admission（入场费）is $ 15 for ages 13 and up, $ 9 for ages 7 to 12.(13岁及以上的人15美元，7到12岁的人9美元)”；大屠杀博物馆的门票价格为“Admission is $ 22 for adults and free for children and students aged 18 and under.（成人22美元，18岁及以下的儿童和学生免费）”；休斯顿动物园的门票价格为“Admission starts at $ 34.70 for adults and children above 12 years old, $27.70 for kids 3 to 12.（成人和12岁以上的儿童34.70美元，3到12岁的儿童27.70美元）”；美术博物馆的门票价格为“Admission is $ 24 for adults and $ 20 for kids 13 to 18.（成人24美元，13到18岁的儿童20美元）”。所以，一对夫妇和他们13岁的儿子如果想花最少的钱买门票，应该选择亚洲协会（15*3=45）。故选A。 B The Grammys celebrate the best in music; but behind every songwriter, performer, and producer that makes it to that stage are music teachers and educators who inspired them from a very young age. That’s why the Grammy Awards also hands out a Special Music Award, which recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to music education. This year, the award went to Annie Ray, the performing arts department chair and orchestra (管弦乐队) director at Annandale High School in Fairfax County, Virginia—a community with many poor people. With the creation of the Crescendo Orchestra, she works to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities. Additionally, she created a parent orchestra, in which 200 caregivers learn to play the same instrument as their child every year. Ray took home both a $ 10, 000 prize and a matching prize for her school’s music program. In an interview following the Merit Award ceremony, Ray credited her pupils for this award. “This is the students’ award,” she said. “I’m just lucky enough to have been a part of their journey and their process and to have been taught by them.” Now, Ray will use the prize money to buy instruments—something the school has struggled to do. She also plans to create an ongoing scholarship for students who want to become musicians and music educators when they graduate. For Ray, the moment appears to come full circle, since it was a music teacher who first changed her life at age 5. “The reason I am here is because a teacher changed my life and made me want to be a music educator,” she said. “The work is hard, but it is truly rewarding, and there’s nothing else like it.” 4. Who is the Special Music Award intended for? A. Songwriters. B. Music teachers. C. Music performers. D. Music producers. 5. Why did Ray set up the Crescendo Orchestra? A. To let parents learn about music. B. To provide students with access to music. C. To make more money to support the community. D. To enable disabled students to become musicians. 6. What did Ray want to show in the interview? A. She helped her students a lot. B. Her students appreciated her teaching. C. Her students had a great talent for music. D. She won the award thanks to her students. 7. What does Ray think of her job? A. Creative. B. Easy. C. Worthwhile. D. Boring. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Annie Ray获得了格莱美音乐特别奖，她在音乐教育方面做出了重大贡献，她创立了Crescendo Orchestra，使所有学生，特别是残疾学生都能接触到音乐，她还创立了一个家长乐团，让200多名照顾者每年都能学习和他们孩子相同乐器。她将奖金用于购买乐器，并计划为想要成为音乐家和音乐教育者的学生设立奖学金。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“That’s why the Grammy Awards also hands out a Special Music Award, which recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to music education.”（这就是为什么格莱美奖也颁发特别音乐奖，以表彰那些对音乐教育做出重大贡献的人。）可知，特别音乐奖是为了表彰那些对音乐教育做出重大贡献的人，故选B。 5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“With the creation of the Crescendo Orchestra, she works to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities.”（通过创立Crescendo Orchestra，她努力让所有学生，特别是残疾学生都能接触到音乐。）可知，Ray建立Crescendo Orchestra的目的是让所有学生都能接触到音乐，故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In an interview following the Merit Award ceremony, Ray credited her pupils for this award. “This is the students’ award,” she said.”（在颁奖典礼后的一次采访中，Ray将这个奖项归功于她的学生。“这是学生们的奖项，”她说。）可知，Ray在采访中表示，这个奖项是归功于她的学生的，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The work is hard, but it is truly rewarding, and there’s nothing else like it.”（工作很辛苦，但真的很有回报，没有什么可以比拟的。）可知，Ray认为她的工作虽然辛苦，但是非常有价值，故选C。 C Thanksgiving is a time of year when we get together with our families and celebrate peace over a giant feast including roast turkey and pumpkin pie. There are many reasons why the pumpkin pie is made for Thanksgiving, one of which is related to the season. In the USA, Thanksgiving sits at the beginning of the fall season, and this is celebrated over a feast made up of seasonal food. Pumpkins are harvested in North America and Canada during the fall; therefore, being a seasonal crop, it is in richness at this time. In 1621 some of the earliest American settlers came across pumpkins for the first time and were new to eating it. Early recipes (食谱) describe ways of cooking pumpkins, which would have included hollowing out (挖空) a pumpkin and filling it with milk and honey. They would have then roasted this on a fire. It became a tradition for the Native Americans to bring the pumpkins to the settlers as gifts, and they showed them how to cook and prepare pumpkins. Pumpkin pie recipes began to appear in English-written American cookbooks in 1670. Some recipes included adding apples for added flavor (味道). Most recipes have continued to follow the basis of using pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, salt, butter, and so on. The biggest pumpkin pie in the world was made on September 25, 2010, at the New Bremen Pumpkin Fest in Ohio. To make this large pie, 2,796 eggs, 525 pounds of sugar, and 1,212 pounds of canned pumpkin were used. After baking, the total weight of the pie was 3,699 pounds. The pumpkin pie was a creation made with the help and guidance of Native Americans and is an important part of celebrating Thanksgiving. 8. Why are pumpkins used to celebrate Thanksgiving according to Paragraph 2? A. Pumpkins are in season in autumn. B. People relate pumpkins to being rich. C. People in North America love eating pumpkins. D. Pumpkins stand for people’s wish for a happy life. 9. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The celebrations on Thanksgiving. B. The history of early American settlers. C. The early recipes for making pumpkin pie. D. The origin of cooking pumpkin on Thanksgiving. 10. Why are the numbers used in Paragraph 5? A. To show the pumpkin pie was extremely big. B. To describe the good taste of the pumpkin pie. C. To stress the difficulty in gathering pumpkins. D. To explain the process of making the pumpkin pie. 11. What is the suitable title of the text? A. Growing Crops for Thanksgiving B. Eating Pumpkin Pie at Thanksgiving C. The Biggest Pumpkin Pie in the World D. Traditions of Celebrating Thanksgiving 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了南瓜派在感恩节的由来和制作过程，以及它在感恩节中的重要性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“the USA, Thanksgiving sits at the beginning of the fall season, and this is celebrated over a feast made up of seasonal food. Pumpkins are harvested in North America and Canada during the fall; therefore, being a seasonal crop, it is in richness at this time.（在美国，感恩节在秋季开始时，人们会用季节性食物来庆祝。南瓜在秋季在北美和加拿大收获；因此，作为季节性作物，此时南瓜丰富。）”可知，南瓜是秋季的季节性食物，所以被用来庆祝感恩节。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“In 1621 some of the earliest American settlers came across pumpkins for the first time and were new to eating it. Early recipes（食谱）describe ways of cooking pumpkins, which would have included hollowing out（挖空）a pumpkin and filling it with milk and honey. They would have then roasted this on a fire. It became a tradition for the Native Americans to bring the pumpkins to the settlers as gifts, and they showed them how to cook and prepare pumpkins.”（1621年，一些最早的美国移民第一次遇到南瓜，并且是第一次吃南瓜。早期的食谱描述了烹饪南瓜的方法，包括把南瓜掏空，然后在里面填上牛奶和蜂蜜。然后他们会在火上烤这个。印第安人把南瓜作为礼物送给移民，并向他们展示如何烹饪和准备南瓜，这成为了一种传统。）”可知，本段主要讲述了感恩节烹饪南瓜的由来。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The biggest pumpkin pie in the world was made on September 25, 2010, at the New Bremen Pumpkin Fest in Ohio.

After baking, the total weight of the pie was 3,699 pounds.”（为了制作这个大派，使用了2796个鸡蛋，525磅糖，和1212磅罐头南瓜。烘烤后，派的总重量是3699磅。）可知，这些数字是用来展示南瓜派的巨大尺寸。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Thanksgiving is a time of year when we get together with our families and celebrate peace over a giant feast including roast turkey and pumpkin pie.”（感恩节是一年中我们与家人团聚，享用包括烤火鸡和南瓜派在内的盛宴，庆祝和平的日子。）可知，文章主要讲述了南瓜派在感恩节的由来和制作过程，以及它在感恩节中的重要性，B项“感恩节吃南瓜派”适合作为短文的标题。故选B。 D For years, animals have been used in the testing of medicine to make sure the products are safe to use for humans. A law that doesn’t require labs to test on animals any more has been signed recently. Before the new law was in place, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required new medicine to be tested on animals before the labs could move on to test on humans. Companies were required to test their products on animals like a monkey or dog. This causes companies to test on tens of thousands of animals every yar. Now the new law lifts the requirement for animal testing. According to Science, researchers have been wanting to move away from animal testing. Paul Locke, scientist and lawyer at Johns Hopkins University, told the website: “We have many important drugs that have been developed using animal tests. But as we get into some of these more difficult diseases, especially neurological (神经系统的) diseases, the animal models just aren’t serving us as well.” The chief scientist of the FDA says that they want to try and get rid of (摆脱) all animal testing. “We support other methods that are backed by science and provide the necessary data showing whether products are safe and effective,” Namandjé Bumpus told Science. One of their choices is called “organs-on-chips (器官芯片)”. These are small chips that contain human cells (细胞). The chips are used to test the effects of medicine. They mimic certain human body functions. For example, they are very soft, there can be some kind of blood flow and they are physically active, just as our bodies. Aysha Akhtar, a neurologist and president and CEO of the Center for Modern Sciences said: “The decision is still up to the FDA to decide whether the method is to be put into practice.” Anyway, Akhtar expects that new methods of testing will be used. 12. What does the new law state? A. New medicines are to be tested on humans. B. The requirement for animal testing is stopped. C. The skills of animal testing need to be improved. D. More animals are to be used to test new medicine. 13. Why do researchers want to get rid of animal testing? A. They think it difficult to find enough animals. B. Animal testing fails to function well sometimes. C. Some difficult illnesses get worse after animal testing. D. The medicine is too expensive to be tested on animals. 14. What does the underlined word “mimic” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Put an end to. B. Keep away from. C. Make up for. D. Model themselves on. 15. What is Akhtar’s attitude to new testing methods? A. Doubtful. B. Disapproving. C. Positive. D. Uninterested. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了最近，一项不再要求实验室在动物身上进行实验的法律已经签署，取消了动物试验的要求。文章说明了动物实验的局限性以及人们对此的看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A law that doesn’t require labs to test on animals any more has been signed recently.(最近，一项不再要求实验室在动物身上进行实验的法律已经签署)”可知，新法律规定停止动物试验的要求。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But as we get into some of these more difficult diseases, especially neurological (神经系统的) diseases, the animal models just aren’t serving us as well.(但当我们研究一些更困难的疾病时，尤其是神经系统疾病，动物模型就不能为我们服务了)”可知，研究人员想要摆脱动物实验是因为动物实验有时效果不好。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“For example, they are very soft, there can be some kind of blood flow and they are physically active, just as our bodies.(例如，它们非常柔软，可以有某种血液流动，它们和我们的身体一样活跃)”可知，这种芯片是以人类的特点为模型的，故划线词意思是“以……为模型”。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Aysha Akhtar, a neurologist and president and CEO of the Center for Modern Sciences said: “The decision is still up to the FDA to decide whether the method is to be put into practice.” Anyway, Akhtar expects that new methods of testing will be used.(神经学家、现代科学中心总裁兼首席执行官Aysha Akhtar说：“是否将这种方法付诸实践仍取决于FDA的决定。”无论如何，Akhtar期望新的测试方法会被使用)”可知，Akhtar对新的测试方法持支持态度。故选C。 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。 It’s no secret that the Internet is home to some people with bad purposes.

The only thing I hoped to get from my Christmas wish list was a puppy (小狗). I had always dreamed of having a puppy, as I was the only child, and it could be quite lonely at times. However, I did not want to get my hopes up, as I knew neither of my parents liked the thought of having a puppy around the house and all that came with it. Every time I begged for a puppy, my parents would say, “It is a lot of responsibilities, and you will have to clean up after it, give it baths, feed it regularly and walk it.” I knew the responsibilities and was ready to take them on. Unfortunately, even with my enthusiasm (热情) and determination, my parents still disagreed to get me a puppy. There were very few chances of getting it, but I still tried asking them again that week. “Oh honey, pick something else instead. There are so many toys that you can pick,” my parents responded as usual. As expected, I thought, giving a resigned sigh (无奈的叹息). For the rest of the evening, I decorated the Christmas tree as my parents hung some stockings. That night, I went to sleep with the hope that my dream would ever come true. My alarm clock woke me up. “Oh my goodness, it is finally Christmas day!” I shouted excitedly and rushed down the stairs to the living room. “Good morning, Bella!” both my parents chatted with huge smiles on their faces that were brighter than usual. My curiosity was inspired and many questions rushed into my mind. They played Christmas carols, and they sang along to the merry tunes. Just then, I caught my father smiling at my mother as if they had a secret plan and walking out of the door. When I asked my mother where my father had gone, she simply said that he had gone to pick something up. I grew confused. 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。 I wondered what they could be hiding from me ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I fell in love with the puppy at first sight and named her Daisy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I wondered what they could be hiding from me. As the morning unfolded, my anticipation grew, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something extraordinary was about to happen. Moments later, the front door creaked open, and in walked my father, his arms cradling a small, wriggling bundle of fur. My eyes widened in disbelief as he presented the adorable puppy to me, and my heart swelled with joy. Overwhelmed by emotion, I gathered the little creature into my arms and felt an instant connection. I fell in love with the puppy at first sight and named her Daisy. Her playful energy and endearing nature quickly won over my parents, and soon, our home was filled with laughter and warmth. With Daisy by my side, I found a constant source of companionship and love. My once lonely days were a thing of the past, and I reveled in the newfound happiness that she brought into our lives. Christmas had indeed granted my dearest wish, and the arrival of Daisy made it a holiday season to remember. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，按照事情发展的先后顺序讲述了小女孩贝拉在圣诞节前夕希望得到一只小狗作为礼物。尽管她的父母认为养狗责任重大，多次拒绝了她的请求，贝拉仍抱有一丝希望。圣诞节早上，贝拉看到父亲神秘地走出门，让她充满了好奇和疑问的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我想知道他们会对我隐瞒什么。”可知，第一段可描写“我有一种感觉似乎爸爸要为我买一只小狗，梦想实现时，我的心充满了喜悦”的相关细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“我对这只小狗一见钟情，给它取名为黛西。”可知，第二段可描写“黛西的到来给我们的生活带来的幸福，圣诞节成为了一个值得纪念的节日”的相关细节。 2.续写线索：我感觉到有事情要发生——父亲带回一只小狗——我的心充了喜悦之情——小狗带来笑声和温暖——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①变宽： widen/broaden ②发生：happen/occur/take place 情绪类 ①开心：joy/delight/happiness/pleasure ②怀疑：disbelief/suspicion 【点睛】【高分句型1】My eyes widened in disbelief as he presented the adorable puppy to me, and my heart swelled with joy.
