B In the forest on Washington state’s outer coast, streets and sidewalks have appeared in recent weeks, representing the future of the Quinault Indian Nation. The coastal tribe (部落) has done more to deal with that hotter future than most places in the U.S. It is gradually becoming one of the first American communities to move inland as sea levels rise. Each winter, the highest waves of the year threaten to flood Taholah, the largest Quinault village of 800 people. Flood forced the government to start the relocation of Taholah in 2022 to an upland site. In December, 2023, the Quinault government reached a milestone (里程碑) in its long push to provide safe housing for its people. While fully relocating the village is expected to take at least another decade, tribal officials hope the first Quinault elders can begin moving into new homes in the next year or two. To deal with the human-driven climate change that coastal communities are facing, such an approach can cost millions of dollars and cause huge emotional distress. It’s been a long process to persuade tribal members to move to higher ground. One tribe member Lia Frenchman said there’s a generational divide, with some elders doubting whether the move would be necessary in their, or their children’s, lifetimes. Frenchman said she looked forward to moving uphill and protecting her family from the rising ocean. Still, she would miss the sounds of the surf and eagles overhead. Despite the challenges the approach of Taholah gives us a possible way-out. Global sea levels have risen about 7 inches over the past century due to heat-trapping pollution, with a similar rise forecast in just the next 30 years. Many communities may find this approach necessary as the Earth continues to warm and sea levels continue to rise. 4. Which is the challenge faced by the Quinaut government? A. The safe places are hard to find. B. The moving process is longer than expected. C. The sea level rises too fast for the tribe to move. D. Not all tribe members welcome the relocation. 5. What can be learned from Frenchman’s words? A. She was concerned about eagles. B. She was doubtful about the move. C. She was unwilling to move inland. D. She was aware of the existing danger. 6. What’s the author’s attitude toward the approach of the Quinaut tribe? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Negative. 7. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. The rising sea level will continue in the future. B. The rising sea level is threatening coastal tribes. C. A costal Indian tribe is escaping from a rising sea. D A costal Indian tribe is rebuilding houses for safety. C Australia Day, on 26 January, is in memory of the day in 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet of 11 British ships, arrived at Sydney Cove to mark the birth of the colony (殖民). Every year, many in this nation of 24 million people gather on beaches and around barbeques to celebrate. From boats competitions, camel races, to outdoor concerts, Australians mark a public holiday more popularly treated as a late summer festival than the serious national day its founders intended it to be — a unifying celebration of the good fortune of being Australian and the values that unite the nation: freedom, independence, a fair go, mateship. However, not all Australians feel the same about the day. Recently there has been much controversy over the correctness of celebrating on this date. Native Australians, in particular, have long referred to this date as "Invasion (入侵) Day" or "National Day of Mourning (哀悼)" in protest of the arrival of the British peoples. They mourn their ancestors who suffered and died during colonization. There has even been a growing push to change the date of the national celebration, a move popular with younger Australians but less so with older generations. In response to the protests, the Australian government has recognized the traditional owners of the lands on which Australia Day activities take place, in the hope that Australians from all backgrounds come together to celebrate Australia as a multicultural society. "Our desire is that Australia Day is a time for inclusion, as well as an opportunity for greater understanding," one officer from The Australian Department of Communications and the Arts said. 8. What is the original purpose of Australia Day? A. To observe a late summer festival. B. To honor the arrival of the British. C. To celebrate national identity and values. D. To mourn the natives who suffered during colonization. 9. What does the underlined word “controversy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Debate. B. Defence. C. Faith. D. Puzzle. 10. What did the British probably do to the native Australians after their arrival? A. They mourned the suffering of native Australians. B. They recognized native Australians’ independence. C. They protested against native Australians’ ownership of the land. D. They brought loss of life and hardship among native Australians. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. More Australia Day activities will be organized. B. The date of Australia Day will soon be changed. C. The protests of changing the date have already been settled. D. Australia Day should be celebrated with understanding and respect. D Rap music has long been the poster child for negativity in society for a number of decades. It has been criticized (批评) in the media and seen by a good number of people as a bad influence on citizens in general. The lyrics might have something to blame in this regard as they often seemingly celebrate violence as well as drugs and alcohol. The reality is that rap music is greatly misunderstood. In spite of the negativity that often surrounds it, however, rap music can have a positive influence on listeners. One of these positive effects is that it has been used as a great unifier of diverse populations around the world. It started as a subculture among African American communities in America but it is now a phenomenon of global culture. As a matter of fact, it isn't only limited to African American communities, as non black communities make up seventy five percent of the global rap audience. Its infectious rhythms, catchy beats, and relatable lyrics hold universal attraction that goes beyond cultural and language barriers. Rap has also been vital in promoting social and political awareness among the youth of today. Rap music educates people from different points of views and raises many social issues. Rap is channel (渠道) for people to speak freely about their view on political or social issues and by doing so, it encourages teenagers to become concerned and aware of these issues. A few of them that rap has created awareness in are racial discrimination (歧视), the importance of education and believing in your dreams. Rap music is entertainment (娱乐) and should not be treated any differently than any other form of entertainment out there. If critics of rap music still believe that rap only sends negative messages, they should listen closer. The bottom line is that all rap music is not degenerate (堕落) and consideration should be taken when analysing the message that the music is presenting 12. Why is rap music often connected with negativity? A. It has long been the poster child for negativity. B. It has shown a bad influence on citizens in general. C. It seems to celebrate violence as well as drugs and alcohol. D. It started as a subculture among African American communities. 13 What helps rap music gain great popularity around the globe? A. Its positive influence on listeners around the world. B. Its engaging music elements like rhythms, lyrics and beats. C. Its continuous promotion of social and political awareness. D. Its African American culture that fascinates non black communities. 14. How does rap encourage teenagers to become more aware of social issues? A. By making social issues more entertaining. B. By providing a platform to voice their opinions C. By stressing the importance of education and dreams. D. By drawing teenagers’ attention to racial discrimination. 15. What can be inferred about rap music in the last paragraph? A. Rap music is now unfairly treated. B. Rap music is suitable for everyone. C. Rap music is difficult to understand. D. Rap music is simply for entertainment. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Mother’s Day is the time to celebrate the great women who raised us. ____16____ With Mother’s Day nearly upon us, a lot of people are looking for last minute presents—but it’s not too late!

It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed”. But according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.” I never really understood what she meant until recently. It was three months ago, and I'd just moved into an apartment for college in Brooklyn, New York, Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I'd said I could manage. Letting them help did not fit my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21. As December arrived, getting to school became more difficult. One day, snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots making for the bus stop. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted(编织) for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don't you see if you can find a lift?” A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don't know my neighbours; I feel funny asking for favours. Pride(自尊心) would not let me ask even though I came across three neighbours at the door of the apartment building. One of them was the woman living upstairs, and in her hand there was an obvious car key. Result? An hour of waiting in the bitter cold before the bus finally arrived, followed by another half-hou journey. When I sneaked into the classroom, the class was almost over. If only I had taken the chance and asked for help! It would have been a 10-minute ride by car, Grandma would be shaking her head at my stubbornness(固执). 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 AABCB 6-7 BA 8-10 BCC 11-13 BAC 14-16 BAC 17-20 AABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★考试结束前 2023~2024学年第二学期浙江省9+1高中联盟高一年级期中考试 英语 考生须知： 1.本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟； 2.答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场、座位号及准考证号并核对条形码信息； 3.所有答案必须写在答题卷上，写在试卷上无效，考试结束后，只需上交答题卷； 4.参加联批学校的学生可关注“启望教育”公众号查询个人成绩分析。 第Ⅰ卷 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。每段对话后有一道小题，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，你将有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.

(西雅图拥有标志性的地标和建筑奇迹，是太平洋西北地区最好的旅游胜地之一。以下最畅销的旅游将使您的旅行难忘。)”可知，本文介绍西雅图的旅游亮点以及四种旅游项目，本文主要是为旅游项目做广告，吸引游客参与。故选C。 B In the forest on Washington state’s outer coast, streets and sidewalks have appeared in recent weeks, representing the future of the Quinault Indian Nation. The coastal tribe (部落) has done more to deal with that hotter future than most places in the U.S. It is gradually becoming one of the first American communities to move inland as sea levels rise. Each winter, the highest waves of the year threaten to flood Taholah, the largest Quinault village of 800 people. Flood forced the government to start the relocation of Taholah in 2022 to an upland site. In December, 2023, the Quinault government reached a milestone (里程碑) in its long push to provide safe housing for its people. While fully relocating the village is expected to take at least another decade, tribal officials hope the first Quinault elders can begin moving into new homes in the next year or two. To deal with the human-driven climate change that coastal communities are facing, such an approach can cost millions of dollars and cause huge emotional distress. It’s been a long process to persuade tribal members to move to higher ground. One tribe member Lia Frenchman said there’s a generational divide, with some elders doubting whether the move would be necessary in their, or their children’s, lifetimes. Frenchman said she looked forward to moving uphill and protecting her family from the rising ocean. Still, she would miss the sounds of the surf and eagles overhead. Despite the challenges, the approach of Taholah gives us a possible way-out. Global sea levels have risen about 7 inches over the past century due to heat-trapping pollution, with a similar rise forecast in just the next 30 years. Many communities may find this approach necessary as the Earth continues to warm and sea levels continue to rise. 4. Which is the challenge faced by the Quinaut government? A. The safe places are hard to find. B. The moving process is longer than expected. C. The sea level rises too fast for the tribe to move. D. Not all tribe members welcome the relocation. 5. What can be learned from Frenchman’s words? A. She was concerned about eagles. B. She was doubtful about the move. C. She was unwilling to move inland. D. She was aware of the existing danger. 6. What’s the author’s attitude toward the approach of the Quinaut tribe? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Negative. 7. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. The rising sea level will continue in the future. B. The rising sea level is threatening coastal tribes. C. A costal Indian tribe is escaping from a rising sea. D. A costal Indian tribe is rebuilding houses for safety. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了奎诺特印第安民族因受到海平面上升的威胁而将村落搬迁的事件，目前搬迁工作已取得了重要进展，虽然搬迁过程昂贵且并非所有部落成员都愿意搬迁，但文章指出这是应对气候变化的必要措施。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It’s been a long process to persuade tribal members to move to higher ground. One tribe member Lia Frenchman said there’s a generational divide, with some elders doubting whether the move would be necessary in their, or their children’s, lifetimes. (说服部落成员搬到更高的地方是一个漫长的过程。一名部落成员Lia Frenchman说，这是代沟，一些老人怀疑在他们或他们孩子的有生之年，搬家是否有必要)”可知，该政府面临的挑战是并非所有部落成员都欢迎搬迁。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Frenchman said she looked forward to moving uphill and protecting her family from the rising ocean. (Frenchman说，她期待着搬到山上，保护她的家人免受海平面上升的影响)”可知，Frenchman希望通过搬到山上来避免海平面上升的负面影响。由此可知，她意识到存在的危险。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite the challenges, the approach of Taholah gives us a possible way-out. Global sea levels have risen about 7 inches over the past century due to heat-trapping pollution, with a similar rise forecast in just the next 30 years. Many communities may find this approach necessary as the Earth continues to warm and sea levels continue to rise. (尽管挑战重重，Taholah的到来给了我们一条可能的出路。由于温室污染，全球海平面在过去一个世纪里上升了约7英寸，预计在未来30年内还会出现类似的上升。随着地球继续变暖，海平面继续上升，许多社区可能会发现这种方法是必要的)”可知，作者认为海平面上升的趋势将持续，这个部落的做法是必要的，为我们提供了应对问题的一种可能性。由此可知，作者对该部落的做法持支持态度。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“In the forest on Washington state’s outer coast, streets and sidewalks have appeared in recent weeks, representing the future of the Quinault Indian Nation. The coastal tribe (部落) has done more to deal with that hotter future than most places in the U.S. It is gradually becoming one of the first American communities to move inland as sea levels rise. (在华盛顿州外海岸的森林里，最近几周出现了街道和人行道，代表着奎诺特印第安民族的未来。这个沿海部落在应对未来更热的问题上比美国大多数地方做得更多。随着海平面上升，它正逐渐成为首批向内陆迁移的美国社区之一)”可知，文章主要报道了奎诺特印第安民族因受到海平面上升的威胁而将村落搬迁的事件。因此，C项“一个沿海的印第安部落正在逃离不断上升的海平面”契合文章大意。故选C项。 C Australia Day, on 26 January, is in memory of the day in 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet of 11 British ships, arrived at Sydney Cove to mark the birth of the colony (殖民). Every year, many in this nation of 24 million people gather on beaches and around barbeques to celebrate. From boats competitions, camel races, to outdoor concerts, Australians mark a public holiday more popularly treated as a late summer festival than the serious national day its founders intended it to be — a unifying celebration of the good fortune of being Australian and the values that unite the nation: freedom, independence, a fair go, mateship. However, not all Australians feel the same about the day. Recently there has been much controversy over the correctness of celebrating on this date. Native Australians, in particular, have long referred to this date as "Invasion (入侵) Day" or "National Day of Mourning (哀悼)" in protest of the arrival of the British peoples. They mourn their ancestors who suffered and died during colonization. There has even been a growing push to change the date of the national celebration, a move popular with younger Australians but less so with older generations. In response to the protests, the Australian government has recognized the traditional owners of the lands on which Australia Day activities take place, in the hope that Australians from all backgrounds come together to celebrate Australia as a multicultural society. "Our desire is that Australia Day is a time for inclusion, as well as an opportunity for greater understanding," one officer from The Australian Department of Communications and the Arts said. 8. What is the original purpose of Australia Day? A. To observe a late summer festival. B. To honor the arrival of the British. C. To celebrate national identity and values. D. To mourn the natives who suffered during colonization. 9. What does the underlined word “controversy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Debate. B. Defence. C. Faith. D. Puzzle. 10. What did the British probably do to the native Australians after their arrival? A. They mourned the suffering of native Australians. B. They recognized native Australians’ independence. C. They protested against native Australians’ ownership of the land. D. They brought loss of life and hardship among native Australians. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. More Australia Day activities will be organized. B. The date of Australia Day will soon be changed. C. The protests of changing the date have already been settled. D. Australia Day should be celebrated with understanding and respect. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是澳大利亚日的历史背景，庆祝方式，以及一些澳大利亚人对这个日子的不同看法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“From boats competitions, camel races, to outdoor concerts, Australians mark a public holiday more popularly treated as a late summer festival than the serious national day its founders intended it to be—a unifying celebration of the good fortune of being Australian and the values that unite the nation: freedom, independence, a fair go, mateship. (从划船比赛、骆驼比赛到户外音乐会，澳大利亚人将这个公共假日视为夏末的节日，而不是其创始人所打算的严肃的国庆日——这是一个统一的节日，庆祝作为澳大利亚人的好运和团结这个国家的价值观：自由、独立、公平竞争、伙伴关系)”可知，澳大利亚日的最初目的是作为国庆日，庆祝国家认同感和价值观。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段划线词之前“However, not all Australians feel the same about the day. Recently there has been much controversy over the correctness of celebrating on this date. Native Australians, in particular, have long referred to this date as “Invasion (入侵) Day” or “National Day of Mourning (哀悼)” in protest of the arrival of the British peoples. (然而，并不是所有澳大利亚人都对这一天有同样的感受。最近，人们对在这一天庆祝的正确性有很多controversy。特别是澳大利亚原住民，长期以来一直将这一天称为“入侵日”或“全国哀悼日”，以抗议英国人民的到来)”可知，澳大利亚人对于澳大利亚日有着不同的看法，所以关于这个日期庆祝的正确性是有分歧的，由此可以推测划线词的意思应为“争议，争端”，与A项Debate(争论)意思相近。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Native Australians, in particular, have long referred to this date as “Invasion (入侵) Day” or “National Day of Mourning (哀悼)” in protest of the arrival of the British peoples. They mourn their ancestors who suffered and died during colonization (特别是澳大利亚原住民，长期以来一直将这一天称为“入侵日”或“全国哀悼日”，以抗议英国人民的到来。他们哀悼在殖民期间遭受苦难和死亡的祖先。)”可知，英国人的到来给土著澳大利亚人带来了生命的损失和磨难。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In response to the protests, the Australian government has recognized the traditional owners of the lands on which Australia Day activities take place, in the hope that Australians from all backgrounds come together to celebrate Australia as a multicultural society. “Our desire is that Australia Day is a time for inclusion, as well as an opportunity for greater understanding,” one officer from The Australian Department of Communications and the Arts said.(作为对抗议活动的回应，澳大利亚政府承认了举办澳大利亚日活动的土地的传统所有者，希望来自不同背景的澳大利亚人走到一起，庆祝澳大利亚是一个多元文化的社会。“我们的愿望是，澳大利亚日是一个包容的日子，也是一个增进理解的机会，”澳大利亚通信和艺术部的一名官员说)”可知，从文章最后一段可以推出我们应该怀着理解和尊重来庆祝澳大利亚日。故选D项。 D Rap music has long been the poster child for negativity in society for a number of decades. It has been criticized (批评) in the media and seen by a good number of people as a bad influence on citizens in general. The lyrics might have something to blame in this regard as they often seemingly celebrate violence as well as drugs and alcohol. The reality is that rap music is greatly misunderstood. In spite of the negativity that often surrounds it, however, rap music can have a positive influence on listeners. One of these positive effects is that it has been used as a great unifier of diverse populations around the world. It started as a subculture among African American communities in America but it is now a phenomenon of global culture. As a matter of fact, it isn't only limited to African American communities, as non black communities make up seventy five percent of the global rap audience. Its infectious rhythms, catchy beats, and relatable lyrics hold universal attraction that goes beyond cultural and language barriers. Rap has also been vital in promoting social and political awareness among the youth of today. Rap music educates people from different points of views and raises many social issues. Rap is channel (渠道) for people to speak freely about their view on political or social issues and by doing so, it encourages teenagers to become concerned and aware of these issues. A few of them that rap has created awareness in are racial discrimination (歧视), the importance of education and believing in your dreams. Rap music is entertainment (娱乐) and should not be treated any differently than any other form of entertainment out there. If critics of rap music still believe that rap only sends negative messages, they should listen closer. The bottom line is that all rap music is not degenerate (堕落的) and consideration should be taken when analysing the message that the music is presenting 12. Why is rap music often connected with negativity? A. It has long been the poster child for negativity. B. It has shown a bad influence on citizens in general. C. It seems to celebrate violence as well as drugs and alcohol. D. It started as a subculture among African American communities. 13. What helps rap music gain great popularity around the globe? A. Its positive influence on listeners around the world. B. Its engaging music elements like rhythms, lyrics and beats. C. Its continuous promotion of social and political awareness. D Its African American culture that fascinates non black communities. 14. How does rap encourage teenagers to become more aware of social issues? A. By making social issues more entertaining. B. By providing a platform to voice their opinions C. By stressing the importance of education and dreams. D. By drawing teenagers’ attention to racial discrimination. 15. What can be inferred about rap music in the last paragraph? A. Rap music is now unfairly treated. B. Rap music is suitable for everyone. C. Rap music is difficult to understand. D. Rap music is simply for entertainment. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章对说唱音乐的社会影响进行了讨论，既提到了公众常见的负面看法，也平衡地介绍了说唱音乐积极的一面，如其作为全球文化统一者、提升社会政治意识的作用，以及其作为娱乐形式应当得到公正评价的观点。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。 由文章第一段中的“Rap music has long been the poster child for negativity in society for a number of decades. It has been criticized (批评) in the media and seen by a good number of people as a bad influence on citizens in general. The lyrics might have something to blame in this regard as they often seemingly celebrate violence as well as drugs and alcohol. (几十年来，说唱音乐一直是社会消极情绪的典型代表。它受到了媒体的批评，并被很多人视为对公民的不良影响。在这方面，歌词可能有一些责任，因为它们似乎经常庆祝暴力以及毒品和酒精)”可知，说唱音乐经常与暴力、毒品和酒精的庆祝联系在一起，这导致了它常被关联到消极性上。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。 由文章第二段中的“Its infectious rhythms, catchy beats, and relatable lyrics hold universal attraction that goes beyond cultural and language barriers. (它富有感染力的节奏、朗朗上口的节拍和令人共鸣的歌词，超越了文化和语言的障碍，具有普遍的吸引力)”可知，其引人入胜的音乐元素，如节奏、歌词和节拍，帮助说唱音乐在全球范围内广受欢迎。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。 由第三段中的“Rap is channel (渠道) for people to speak freely about their view on political or social issues and by doing so, it encourages teenagers to become concerned and aware of these issues. (说唱是人们自由表达对政治或社会问题看法的渠道，通过这样做，它鼓励青少年关注和意识到这些问题)”可知，说唱音乐通过提供一个平台让人们自由地表达对政治或社会问题的看法，从而鼓励青少年更加关注这些问题。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。 由最后一段中的“Rap music is entertainment (娱乐) and should not be treated any differently than any other form of entertainment out there. If critics of rap music still believe that rap only sends negative messages, they should listen closer. The bottom line is that all rap music is not degenerate (堕落的) and consideration should be taken when analysing the message that the music is presenting (说唱音乐是一种娱乐，不应该和其他形式的娱乐有任何区别。如果说唱音乐的批评者仍然认为说唱音乐只会传递负面信息，他们应该仔细听一听。最重要的是，所有的说唱音乐都不是堕落的，在分析音乐所传达的信息时应该考虑到这一点)”可知，说唱音乐本质上是一种娱乐形式，不应该被不公平对待。由此推知，说唱音乐目前受到的待遇并不公平。故选A。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Mother’s Day is the time to celebrate the great women who raised us. ____16____ With Mother’s Day nearly upon us, a lot of people are looking for last minute presents—but it’s not too late!

It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed”. But according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.” I never really understood what she meant until recently. It was three months ago, and I'd just moved into an apartment for college in Brooklyn, New York, Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I'd said I could manage. Letting them help did not fit my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21. As December arrived, getting to school became more difficult. One day, snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots making for the bus stop. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted(编织) for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don't you see if you can find a lift?” A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don't know my neighbours; I feel funny asking for favours. Pride(自尊心) would not let me ask even though I came across three neighbours at the door of the apartment building. One of them was the woman living upstairs, and in her hand there was an obvious car key. Result? An hour of waiting in the bitter cold before the bus finally arrived, followed by another half-hou journey. When I sneaked into the classroom, the class was almost over. If only I had taken the chance and asked for help! It would have been a 10-minute ride by car, Grandma would be shaking her head at my stubbornness(固执). 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1： On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. For an hour, I stretched my neck, praying desperately that a bus would come. Then I gave up. The wind at my back pushed me toward home, and I prayed, “how can I get to school? What should I do?” As I pulled Grandma’s scarf more tightly around my neck, again I seemed to hear that whisper: Ask someone for a lift! It could be a mitzvah. That idea had never really made sense to me. And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed, which I did not, there wasn’t a soul on the street. Paragraph 2： As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs. She was going out with a set of keys in her hand. In that split second, desperation overcame pride. I blurted, “Could you possibly give me a lift?” I hurriedly explained, “I’ve been waiting for the bus for ages, and I don’t want to miss my final exam.” Her expression softened with understanding, “Of course, I’ll give you a lift.” Heaving a sigh of relief, I couldn’t help but marvel at how a simple act of asking for help had changed everything. It was at that moment that I finally understood what “Mitzvah” really meant. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了从小时候起作者的祖母就经常对作者说成人礼这个词，在希伯来语中它的意思是“做一件好事”。但祖母说，它还有另一层意思就是让别人为自己做点什么也是一种祝福，因为她注意到作者很害羞，不愿意让别人帮自己做事，直到最近因为在暴风雪天气中因为不愿意开口求人搭便车导致自己上课迟到时作者才真正明白了奶奶话的意思。又一个暴风雪的天气，作者赶着去参加期末考，一切看似和原来一样但实际已经有了改变。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“期末考试那天，我又冒着大雪走到公共汽车站。”可知，第一段可描写作者像往常一样等公交车，结果等了好长时间车也没有来，这时想到奶奶让自己找人帮忙的话，但那是不可能的，因为路上根本没有人，所以作者决定回家。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我推开公寓大楼的门时，我发现自己与楼上的女人面对面。”可知，第二段可描写作者见到楼上女人那一刻时终于绝望战胜骄傲，开口向女人求助，以及求助成功以后自己的感受及对于“成人礼”含义的理解。 2.续写线索：车站等车——等车未果——决定回家——想到奶奶的话打算求助——无人可求——楼梯内偶遇楼上女士——勇于求助——求助成功——欣慰及感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 战胜：overcome/surmount 脱口而出：blurt/ejaculate 变软；软化：soften/tender/alleviate 情绪类 紧紧地：tightly/firmly 匆忙地：hurriedly/hastily 【点睛】【高分句型1】Heaving a sigh of relief, I couldn’t help but marvel at how a simple act of asking for help had changed everything.(运用了现在分词短语作状语和how引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】It was at that moment that I finally understood what “Mitzvah” really meant.(运用了强调句型) 听力答案：1-5 AABCB 6-7 BA 8-10 BCC 11-13 BAC 14-16 BAC 17-20 AABC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
