Here are some of the universities and their key information. The University of Hong Kong (HKU) This university is one of the oldest and most prestigious in Asia, offering undergraduate, graduate, and research programs in various fields. Popular majors include business, engineering, law, and medicine.

Which of the following statements about the University of Macau is CORRECT? A. UM does not provide financial aid to international students. B UM is one of the best public universities in Macau. C. UM has the best business program in Macau. D. UM does not admit international students. 3. What do the four universities mentioned in the passage have in common? A. They all have high tuition fees.

B Overlooking the Davis-Gant Varsity Soccer Field, a bed of overturned soil waits for further development. In a few years, this area will become a natural habitat and a playground for animals and residents. This peaceful area didn’t appear naturally, but through planning and action taken by Catlin Gabel’s Tiny Forest project launched by teacher Patrick Walsh. Forests typically take hundreds of years to mature, with four stages of growth. “Tiny forests shorten the time through the planting of all four layers,” Walsh explained. The end result is a fast-growing, native forest in about 20 years. Over 600 plants from 43 species will be planted in the tiny forest, the first one in Oregon. Walsh was inspired to build a tiny forest after hearing about this idea, which emerged in Japan and has taken hold in North America. He shared his vision with seniors in his class. The seniors researched tiny forests and made a proposal resulting in Clean Water Services donating 60 trees and $ 5,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Armed with these resources, Walsh and the students started working. “Something I didn’t really expect was the outpouring of students’ enthusiasm. Seeing students from all grades volunteered to contribute to the ‘dirty work’ really blew me away,” Walsh said. Senior Megan Cover has been at the school since the first grade. “I’ll graduate after working on this project, which is surely sad, but it’s really rewarding and great to be a part of this project and do my bit. We’re creating this educational space for many young kids,” Cover said. Walsh summed up his goal of the project, which is to build a place where students can enjoy and learn about nature. “The forest will obviously not solve climate change, but it would deserve the efforts if the kids think about climate change and remember the importance of reforestation (重新造林) and trees when they look at the forest.” 4. What is special about tiny forests? A. They originated in North America. B. They are usually planted in schools. C. They contain various types of trees. D. They become mature in a shorter time. 5. What surprised Walsh in the process of planting the tiny forest? A. The abundance of native tree species. B. Public concern about the environment. C. The active participation of students. D. Support from local organizations. 6. How does Megan Cover feel about the project? A. Proud. B. Hopeful. C. Excited D. Grateful. 7. What does Walsh want the forest to function as for the students? A. A source of enjoyment. B. A reminder. C. A source of inspiration. D. A witness C We’re already well aware that the American Southwest, which is naturally hot and dry, is seriously short of water. The situation is getting worse every day with populations in California, Nevada and New Mexico continuing growing. The fact that so many people of the region need the limited resources has led experts to predict a major water shortfall that will cost billions to deal with. A new study that reveals climate change is going to dry out the region even further is painting a serious picture of the future. According to the study, global warming could increase the long-term water shortfall to the 1,815 billion cubic metres by adding another 439 million cubic metres of water. Based on the price of adding reservoir (水库) capacities in California, meeting basic water shortages could cost $549 billion if climate change is factored in. Higher water prices would make the adaptation even more expensive if no water could be found at all in the drier future. But even beyond the mere cost of creating more reservoirs, there’s no denying the fact that a hotter, drier Southwest will demand more and more energy for cooling. There’s another fact that climate change will make cities in states like Nevada and New Mexico far less sustainable than they already are. There’s also the fact that a warmer climate will have a long-lasting impact on the region’s ecosystem. Previous study has noted that climate change may convert the American South-west into a permanent desert. It’s certainly possible that it will be too expensive to build reservoirs for some suburbs and communities and we could see an exodus (大批人同时离开) from the region; but that’s almost suitable to change, because communities pay for the extremely inefficient processes of pumping in water from out of the states. 8 What is the best title for this passage? A. American Southwest Is Short of Water B. Climate Change Will Make Water Shortage Worse C. California Council Pays Attention to Water Shortages D. Water Shortages Lead Experts to Predict Water Shortfall 9. What is the author’s attitude towards the situation of the American Southwest? A. Worried. B. Critical. C. Sympathetic. D. Indifferent. 10. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. People should cool the climate immediately. B. The situations of Nevada and New Mexico are not bad yet. C. The energy requirements needed for cooling will not make water shortage worse. D. There’s a relationship between climate change and ecosystem. 11. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The high price of building reservoirs is making the situation worse. B. Population growth is the main reason for water shortages. C. Global warming could increase the long-term water shortfall to 1,815 billion cubic metres. D. The American Southwest may become a desert one day. D Technology is forever changing the way we get our news. Many people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices, instead of traditional media, such as newspapers, television or radio. Now, there is a new way we get the news: computer-created news readers. Recently, China's Xinhua launched (推出) the world's first AI news presenters with the Chinese search engine Sogou. The news readers created by machine learning technology are based on two real-life newsmen. One is able to present newscasts in English; the other, in Mandarin Chinese. One Xinhua's report said machine learning was used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen, which look and sound like real people. Some machine learning experts said the system showed off China's latest progress in voice recognition, text-to-speech technology and data analysis. But several experts suggested that the term AI does not correctly describe abilities of the robotic news readers. On social media, many Chinese noted that the AI presenters did not seem real. People blamed them for not being more lifelike. Others wondered about the effects robots might have on employment and workers. Some people argued that only low-level jobs requiring heavy labor will be easily replaced by robots. Others praised the technology as a way for companies to make money from low-cost labor machines. Some businesses have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations. Britain's BBC recently released a video that used machine learning to make it look like one of its news readers speaking different languages. The London-based company that developed the system says its goal is to "remove the language barrier" for many different kinds of video across the Internet. 12. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1? A. Introduce the topic of the text. B. Summarize the different opinions. C. Add some data about the AI presenters. D. Compare different ways of getting news 13. What is the machine learning technology used to do? A. To keep AI presenters from making any mistakes. B. To make AI presenters speak more fluently. C. To ensure images and sounds are like real persons. D. To bring newscasts up to date every hour. 14. What are some people worried about when AI presenters were launched? A. Robots will eventually replace human all over. B. Robots may threaten some people's employment. C. Robots may endanger most people's health. D. Robots will rule over the world in the end. 15. From the last paragraph we know that______. A. BBC has removed the language barrier in newscasts B. BBC's news readers can speak different languages C. BBC shows interest in Xinhua's AI news presenters D. BBC has done similar experiments as Xinhua does 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。 How to Make Friends at Community College Making friends in community college is a bit trickier than in four-year schools in some cases.

As they often did, his two sons, Louie, 6, and Everett, 3 followed him. As they headed for the house, the two boys ran ahead of their father who stopped to close the gate. Louie stopped at a water tap (水龙头) above an old well. Unknown to the Lesebergs, the board covering the well had, over time, grown brittle (易碎的). When Louie stepped on it, it caved in. Brandon had just finished locking the gate when he tuned around and saw only his youngest son. “Where’s Louie?” he shouted. “He fell in the hole!” Everett said. Brandkon, 37, quickly realized what had happened. He ran to the well and heard Louie struggling. Without hesitation, he jumped in. As he fell some 70 feet down the well Brandon heard Louie screaming. Somehow Brandon managed to grab onto a pipe that ran down the side of the well. He hit the cold water at the bottom of the well. He popped his head out of the water and grabbed Louie, who was panicking and trying to stay afloat (漂浮的) in the water. Brandon raised his son onto his chest as he put his own legs and back against the narrow walls for support. “All right, Dad, you can pull us out now,” Louie said. If only it were that easy. There was no way he could climb out. The pipe that he’d grabbed during his fall was too slippery (滑的) to be of any use. There was only one way out. Looking up to see Everett looking down at them from the top of the well, Brandon shouted, “Everett, you’re going to have to be a big boy and save us. Run to the road and stand by the mailbox until someone stops. Tell them we need help.” 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。 Everett did as he was told. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The neighbours now turned their attention to Brandon, but he was too heavy to pull out of the well using just the rope. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-20ABACCCBABCBACACCBBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 贵池区2023～2024学年度第二学期期中教学质量检测 高二英语试题 （满分：150分 时间：120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 本试题卷分为听力、阅读、语言运用和写作四个部分。答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在条形码区域内。 2. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清晰。 3. 请按题号顺序在各题答题区域内作答，超山答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效。 4. 保持答题卡卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 5. 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） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。 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?

In a few years, this area will become a natural habitat and a playground for animals and residents. This peaceful area didn’t appear naturally, but through planning and action taken by Catlin Gabel’s Tiny Forest project launched by teacher Patrick Walsh. Forests typically take hundreds of years to mature, with four stages of growth. “Tiny forests shorten the time through the planting of all four layers,” Walsh explained. The end result is a fast-growing, native forest in about 20 years. Over 600 plants from 43 species will be planted in the tiny forest, the first one in Oregon. Walsh was inspired to build a tiny forest after hearing about this idea, which emerged in Japan and has taken hold in North America. He shared his vision with seniors in his class. The seniors researched tiny forests and made a proposal resulting in Clean Water Services donating 60 trees and $ 5,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Armed with these resources, Walsh and the students started working. “Something I didn’t really expect was the outpouring of students’ enthusiasm. Seeing students from all grades volunteered to contribute to the ‘dirty work’ really blew me away,” Walsh said. Senior Megan Cover has been at the school since the first grade. “I’ll graduate after working on this project, which is surely sad, but it’s really rewarding and great to be a part of this project and do my bit. We’re creating this educational space for many young kids,” Cover said. Walsh summed up his goal of the project, which is to build a place where students can enjoy and learn about nature. “The forest will obviously not solve climate change, but it would deserve the efforts if the kids think about climate change and remember the importance of reforestation (重新造林) and trees when they look at the forest.” 4. What is special about tiny forests? A. They originated in North America. B. They are usually planted in schools. C. They contain various types of trees. D. They become mature in a shorter time. 5. What surprised Walsh in the process of planting the tiny forest? A. The abundance of native tree species. B. Public concern about the environment. C. The active participation of students. D. Support from local organizations. 6. How does Megan Cover feel about the project? A. Proud. B. Hopeful. C. Excited D. Grateful. 7. What does Walsh want the forest to function as for the students? A. A source of enjoyment. B. A reminder. C. A source of inspiration. D. A witness 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在老师Patrick Walsh的带领下，Catlin Gabel学校的学生合力种下了俄勒冈州的第一片小森林。若干年后，这片小森林将成为动物的自然栖息地和当地居民的乐园。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Tiny forests shorten the time through the planting of all four layers(小森林通过种植所有四层植物来缩短时间)”可知，小树林在较短的时间内变得成熟。故选D。 5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Something I didn’t really expect was the outpouring of students’ enthusiasm.(我真正没有想到的是源源不断的学生的热情)”可知，Walsh没有预料到学生们的热情会如此高。各个年级的学生都主动加入种植小森林的活动中，这让他感到很惊讶。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中Megan cover的话“it’s really rewarding and great to be a part of this project and do my bit(能成为这个项目的一部分，尽自己的一份力，真的很有意义，也很棒)”可知，她为自己能够参与到小森林项目中为孩子们创造一片具有教育意义的园地感到自豪。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The forest will obviously not solve climate change, but it would deserve the efforts if the kids think about climate change and remember the importance of reforestation (重新造林) and trees when they look at the forest.(森林显然不能解决气候变化问题，但如果孩子们在看到森林时想到气候变化，并记住重新造林和树木的重要性，那么森林就值得付出努力。)”可知，Walsh认为如果孩子们看到小森林时能想到气候变化问题，牢记重新造林和树木的重要性，那他们付出的努力就值得。由此可推断，Walsh希望小森林能够对学生们起到提醒作用。故选B。 C We’re already well aware that the American Southwest, which is naturally hot and dry, is seriously short of water. The situation is getting worse every day with populations in California, Nevada and New Mexico continuing growing. The fact that so many people of the region need the limited resources has led experts to predict a major water shortfall that will cost billions to deal with. A new study that reveals climate change is going to dry out the region even further is painting a serious picture of the future. According to the study, global warming could increase the long-term water shortfall to the 1,815 billion cubic metres by adding another 439 million cubic metres of water. Based on the price of adding reservoir (水库) capacities in California, meeting basic water shortages could cost $549 billion if climate change is factored in. Higher water prices would make the adaptation even more expensive if no water could be found at all in the drier future. But even beyond the mere cost of creating more reservoirs, there’s no denying the fact that a hotter, drier Southwest will demand more and more energy for cooling. There’s another fact that climate change will make cities in states like Nevada and New Mexico far less sustainable than they already are. There’s also the fact that a warmer climate will have a long-lasting impact on the region’s ecosystem. Previous study has noted that climate change may convert the American South-west into a permanent desert. It’s certainly possible that it will be too expensive to build reservoirs for some suburbs and communities and we could see an exodus (大批人同时离开) from the region; but that’s almost suitable to change, because communities pay for the extremely inefficient processes of pumping in water from out of the states. 8. What is the best title for this passage? A. American Southwest Is Short of Water B. Climate Change Will Make Water Shortage Worse C. California Council Pays Attention to Water Shortages D. Water Shortages Lead Experts to Predict Water Shortfall 9. What is the author’s attitude towards the situation of the American Southwest? A. Worried. B. Critical. C. Sympathetic. D. Indifferent. 10. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. People should cool the climate immediately. B. The situations of Nevada and New Mexico are not bad yet. C. The energy requirements needed for cooling will not make water shortage worse. D. There’s a relationship between climate change and ecosystem. 11. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The high price of building reservoirs is making the situation worse. B. Population growth is the main reason for water shortages. C. Global warming could increase the long-term water shortfall to 1,815 billion cubic metres. D. The American Southwest may become a desert one day. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述美国西南部本身炎热干燥，严重缺水，一项新的研究表明，气候变化将使该地区进一步干旱，未来形势严峻。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“A new study that reveals climate change is going to dry out the region even further is painting a serious picture of the future. (一项新的研究表明，气候变化将使该地区进一步干旱，这为未来描绘了一幅严峻的图景)”可知，文章主要讲述美国西南部严重缺水的问题，这里本身炎热干燥，严重缺水，一项新的研究表明，气候变化将使该地区进一步干旱，未来形势严峻。因此，B项“气候变化将使水资源短缺更加严重”符合文章大意，为最佳标题。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“We’re already well aware that the American Southwest, which is naturally hot and dry, is seriously short of water. The situation is getting worse every day. (我们已经很清楚，美国西南部本身就炎热干燥，严重缺水。随着加利福尼亚、内华达和新墨西哥州的人口持续增长，情况每天都在恶化)”可知，美国西南部地区严重缺水，情况日益恶化，由此可知，作者是担忧的态度。故选A。 10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“There’s also the fact that a warmer climate will have a long-lasting impact on the region’s ecosystem. (还有一个事实是，气生候变暖将对该地区的生态系统产长期影响)”可知，气候变化会影响生态系统，因此两者之间是有关系的。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The situation is getting worse every day with populations in California, Nevada and New Mexico continuing growing. (随着加利福尼亚、内华达和新墨西哥州的人口持续增长，情况每天都在恶化)”可知，随着人口的持续增长，情况日益更糟，并没说人口是缺水的主要因素，故B项“人口增长是水资源短缺的主要原因”错误。故选B。 D Technology is forever changing the way we get our news. Many people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices, instead of traditional media, such as newspapers, television or radio. Now, there is a new way we get the news: computer-created news readers. Recently, China's Xinhua launched (推出) the world's first AI news presenters with the Chinese search engine Sogou. The news readers created by machine learning technology are based on two real-life newsmen. One is able to present newscasts in English; the other, in Mandarin Chinese. One Xinhua's report said machine learning was used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen, which look and sound like real people. Some machine learning experts said the system showed off China's latest progress in voice recognition, text-to-speech technology and data analysis. But several experts suggested that the term AI does not correctly describe abilities of the robotic news readers. On social media, many Chinese noted that the AI presenters did not seem real. People blamed them for not being more lifelike. Others wondered about the effects robots might have on employment and workers. Some people argued that only low-level jobs requiring heavy labor will be easily replaced by robots. Others praised the technology as a way for companies to make money from low-cost labor machines. Some businesses have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations. Britain's BBC recently released a video that used machine learning to make it look like one of its news readers speaking different languages. The London-based company that developed the system says its goal is to "remove the language barrier" for many different kinds of video across the Internet. 12. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1? A. Introduce the topic of the text. B. Summarize the different opinions. C. Add some data about the AI presenters. D. Compare different ways of getting news 13. What is the machine learning technology used to do? A. To keep AI presenters from making any mistakes. B. To make AI presenters speak more fluently. C. To ensure images and sounds are like real persons. D. To bring newscasts up to date every hour. 14. What are some people worried about when AI presenters were launched? A. Robots will eventually replace human all over. B. Robots may threaten some people's employment. C. Robots may endanger most people's health. D. Robots will rule over the world in the end. 15. From the last paragraph we know that______. A. BBC has removed the language barrier in newscasts B. BBC's news readers can speak different languages C. BBC shows interest in Xinhua's AI news presenters D. BBC has done similar experiments as Xinhua does 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是议论文，介绍了新华网推出的两个人工智能新闻节目主持人所引起的一些思考和争议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。第一段首先说明科技永远在改变我们获取新闻的方式，最后一句Now, there is a new way we get the news: computer-created news readers引出提出了本文的话题: computer-created news readers（计算机创建的新闻阅读器）。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。从第三段 machine learning was used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen, which look and sound like real people可知，这一技术用来检查视频图像和声音，以使图像和声音看起来或听起来就像真人一样，故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。从第五段的“Others wondered about the effects robots might have on employment and workers可知，有些人对机器人会给就业带来的影响感到忧虑。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段指出Some businesses have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations（一些企业已经试验了类似的技术，以在新闻业务中可能使用）；Britain's BBC recently released a video that used machine learning to make it look like one of its news readers speaking different languages （BBC最近发布的一段视频就是使用machine learning技术，使它看起来像是新闻播报员在讲不同的语言）可知，BBC和新华社一样开始了这种做法。故选D项。 【点睛】长难句的阅读理解方法——结构分析法 　　所谓结构分析法，就是通过语法分析，迅速弄清句子的结构，把握住句子的基本框架。基本步骤是：首先，判断该句是简单句、并列句还是复合句；然后，找出句子的核心成分，分清主语和谓语，再分清句子的附属成分。 1、 带有较多成分的简单句 处理方法——找主谓语，即找主干成分。 如：Many people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices, instead of traditional media, such as newspapers, television or radio. 分析：此句主干部分是Many people ..get …news ,句中有instead of 的介词宾语electronic devices和 traditional media，还有such as 列举的成分newspapers, television or radio。 句意：现在，许多人在电子设备上获得了很多新闻，而不是传统媒体，如报纸、电视或广播。 2、含有多个简单句的并列句 处理方法——找并列连词 如：One is able to present newscasts in English; the other, in Mandarin Chinese. 分析：此句主干部分是并列结构One is able to present…the other …; 后一句是省略句，省略了重复部分，补充完整应为the other（is able to present newscasts）in Mandarin Chinese. 句意：一种是能够用英语发布新闻；另一种是用普通话发布新闻。 3、含有多个从句的复合句 处理方法——找从属连词 如：The London-based company that developed the system says its goal is to "remove the language barrier" for many different kinds of video across the Internet. 分析：此句主干部分The London-based company … says…,句中有从属连词that，引导定语从句that developed the system；says后为宾语从句its goal is to "remove the language barrier" …，省略了宾语从句引导词that。 句意：这家总部位于伦敦公司开发了该系统，并且表示，其目的是为互联网上的许多不同类型的视频“消除语言障碍”。 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。 How to Make Friends at Community College Making friends in community college is a bit trickier than in four-year schools in some cases.

By participating in activities that correspond to their hobbies or preferences, you and your peers can meet other like-minded students. Plus, the event can be an initial topic of conversation, giving your peers an easy way to engage with others. ____19____ College work will occupy most of your day. Your health, for one, is something you may start to neglect as you throw yourself fully into college life. Needless to say, ignoring your health is absolutely unacceptable.____20____.

As they often did, his two sons, Louie, 6, and Everett, 3 followed him. As they headed for the house, the two boys ran ahead of their father who stopped to close the gate. Louie stopped at a water tap (水龙头) above an old well. Unknown to the Lesebergs, the board covering the well had, over time, grown brittle (易碎的). When Louie stepped on it, it caved in. Brandon had just finished locking the gate when he tuned around and saw only his youngest son. “Where’s Louie?” he shouted. “He fell in the hole!” Everett said. Brandkon, 37, quickly realized what had happened. He ran to the well and heard Louie struggling. Without hesitation, he jumped in. As he fell some 70 feet down the well Brandon heard Louie screaming. Somehow Brandon managed to grab onto a pipe that ran down the side of the well. He hit the cold water at the bottom of the well. He popped his head out of the water and grabbed Louie, who was panicking and trying to stay afloat (漂浮的) in the water. Brandon raised his son onto his chest as he put his own legs and back against the narrow walls for support. “All right, Dad, you can pull us out now,” Louie said. If only it were that easy. There was no way he could climb out. The pipe that he’d grabbed during his fall was too slippery (滑的) to be of any use. There was only one way out. Looking up to see Everett looking down at them from the top of the well, Brandon shouted, “Everett, you’re going to have to be a big boy and save us. Run to the road and stand by the mailbox until someone stops. Tell them we need help.” 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。 Everett did as he was told. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The neighbours now turned their attention to Brandon but he was too heavy to pull out of the well using just the rope. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Everett did as he was told. About 15minutes later, Dan and Christi, nearby farmers, were driving by when they noticed Everett alone by the side of the road, waving. They pulled over and asked if he was OK. “My daddy’s in a hole” he told them. Hearing this, they piled Everett into their pickup and then drove to the well. “Brandon” Dan shouted, “It’s Dan. We’re going to send a rope down to you.” After several minutes they pulled Louie out of the well. The neighbours now turned their attention to Brandon, but he was too heavy to pull out of the well using just the rope. After a brief discussion, they decided to use the old windmill that still stood over the well. Forty-some minutes after he’d jumped into the well to save his son, Brandon emerged, cold and wet. “You are our life saver.” Brandon thanked Dan, who turned to Everett. Dan said. “Everett is actually your life saver. Without him, I wouldn’t have known the accident, let alone the rescue!” Words couldn’t express his surprise when the father turned to the 3-year-old boy. Finally they thanked Dan again together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Brandon Leseberg喂完牛后，和两个儿子Louie和Everett一起回家，在Brandon停下来关门时，Louie踩在覆盖在井盖上的木板上，由于木板老化断裂，他掉进了井里。Brandon跳进井里抓住了Louie，但是因为水太深，两人都不能逃出，Brandon让井口的Everett去路边寻求帮助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Everett照他说的做了。”可知，第一段可描写Everett找到了人来帮忙以及前来帮忙的人所提供的帮助。 ②由第二段首句内容“邻居们现在把注意力转移到Brandon身上，但他太重了，光用绳子根本拉不出井来。”可知，第二段可描写邻居们怎么救起Brandon和父子们的感谢。 2.续写线索：Everett去求救——邻居停下车——了解了情况——开车到井边——拉出Louie——利用旧风车拉起Brandon——感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①停车：pull over/pull on the side ②拉出：pull out/haul out ③浮现：emerge/arise 情绪类 ①感谢：thank/show one’s gratitude to ②惊讶：surprise/shock 【点睛】[高分句型1] After a brief discussion, they decided to use the old windmill that still stood over the well.
