B Linda Brown, a real estate agent, believes that when it comes to solving homelessness, it takes a village. She spent nine years supporting homeless people in Springfield, Missouri, through a charitable organization called The Gathering Tree, which welcomed people a few times each week during daylight hours, providing a safe and welcoming place for them to take showers, socialize, or simply rest. But they had to close their doors for the night. “One cold winter night, I watched as my friends walked off into the darkness to a wet, cold camp, while we went home to a warm bed,” Linda said, “I realized I had to do something.” She had an idea to create a village of tiny houses to make sure no one slept outside on her watch! Linda started fundraising. She began by appealing to her fellow estate agents in the area before branching out into local businesses. Using these donations, Linda purchased a nearby abandoned area that already had the infrastructure in place. By February 2019, they’d built 31 tiny homes for their Eden Village and found residents for each one. All the residents must be good neighbors in order to stay in the village, and they certainly are! Linda was happy when she learned that the village actually increased local property values rather than lowering them as some people had feared. Linda hasn’t stopped working since Eden Village began. A second village opened in the fall of 2020, and there’s a third location in the works as well! She hopes to have five villages across Springfield within the next five years, helping more than 200 homeless people get off the streets and into a new life. To this day, Linda firmly believes that there are a million reasons someone can become homeless, but each of them can be solved with love and community involvement. 24. What does The Gathering Tree do for the homeless? A. It raises money for them. B. It builds tiny houses for them. C. It helps them find warm camps. D. It provides them with day shelters. 25. What did some people fear? A. Their own homes would be lost . B. Their jobs would be taken over . C. Their safety would be seriously threatened. D. Their local property values would be lowered. 26. What does Linda expect to do? A. Help homeless people find work. B. Reach out to more homeless people. C. Build more infrastructure at Eden Village. D. Get homeless people involved in building Eden Village. 27. Which of the following can best describe Linda? A. Ambitious and scholarly. B. Brave and imaginative. C. Sympathetic and innovative. D. Generous and independent. C Trillions of evolution’s wonders, red-eyed periodical cicadas (蝉) that have pumps in their heads and jet-like muscles in their bodies, are about to emerge in numbers not seen in decades and possibly centuries. Crawling out from underground every 13 or 17 years, with a collective song as loud as jet engines, the periodical cicadas are nature’s kings of the calendar. These black bugs with bulging eyes differ from their greener cousins that come out annually. They stay buried year after year, until they surface and take over a landscape. This spring, an unusual cicada double population is about to invade a couple of parts of the United States in what University of Connecticut cicada expert John Cooley called “cicada-geddon”. The last time these two broods (a group of creatures) came out together was in 1803. Thomas Jefferson, the then president, wrote about cicadas in his Garden Book but mistakenly called them locusts (蝗虫). Usually mistaken for hungry and unrelated locusts, periodical cicadas are more annoying rather than causing great economic damage. They can hurt young trees and some fruit crops, but it’s not widespread and can be prevented. The largest geographic brood in the nation — called Brood XIX and coming out every 13 years — is about to march through the Southeast, having already created countless boreholes in the red Georgia clay. It’s a sure sign of the coming cicada occupation. “They emerge when the ground warms to 64 degrees, which is happening earlier than it used to because of climate change,” scientists said. “The bugs are brown at first but darken as they mature.” Soon after the insects appear in large numbers in Georgia and the rest of the Southeast, cicada cousins that come out every 17 years will inundate Illinois. They are Brood ⅩⅢ. “And when you put those two together… you would have more than anywhere else any other time,” University of Maryland entomologist Paula Shrewsbury said. “These two broods may actually overlap — but probably not interbreed in a small area near central Illinois.” 28. How are periodical cicadas different from their greener cousins? A. They appear once a year. B. They look more beautiful. C. They have stronger muscles. D. They have a longer life circle. 29. What is a common belief on periodical cicadas? A. They are a type of locusts. B. They have underestimated advantages. C. They are Thomas Jefferson’s inspiration. D. They only eat young trees and fruit crops. 30. What can be inferred about Brood ⅩⅨ? A. The red Georgia clay is more beneficial to them. B. Climate change may be confusing their schedules. C. The adult ones only live 4-6 weeks before they die. D. They are expected to be found throughout the world. 31. What can best replace the underlined word “inundate” in the last paragraph? A. Strike out. B. Give up. C. Flood into. D. Jump at. D Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time: “Did they like me or were they just being polite?” “Were they deep in thought or deeply bored?” To find out whether these worries are necessary, we have conducted nearly 10 years of research. In our studies, participants in the UK talked with someone they had never met before. Afterward, they were asked how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they believed that their conversation partner liked them. This allowed us to compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they were actually liked. Time and time again, we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made. That is, people systematically underestimate how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company — a false belief we call the “liking gap”. This bias (偏见) may seem like something that would occur only in initial interactions, but its effects extend far beyond a first impression. Surprisingly, the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of relationships, including interactions with coworkers, long after the initial conversations have taken place. Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together. There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings. One place to start is shifting your focus of attention. Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. The more you’re zeroed in on the other person, and the less you’re focused on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well. 32. Why did the author carry out 10 years of research? A. To dismiss national concerns. B. To check out a potential bias. C. To enhance human communication. D. To develop harmonious relationships. 33. What is one effect of people’s liking gap? A. Fewer chances of new projects. B. Underestimation of their ability. C. Bad relationships with people around. D. Low willingness to interact with others. 34. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Restate opinions. B. Deliver warnings. C. Give suggestions. D. Make a summary. 35. Which might be the best title for the text? A. Liking Gap May Influence Work Performances B. First Impressions Rely On Initial Conversations C. People Probably Like You More Than You Think D. How People Like You Matters Less Than You Assume 第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 Floods can come from multiple sources.

Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination----the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines(小塑像) of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He’s been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to fulfil his little dream. He was so excited and barely noticing the world around him. Maybe that’s why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the pavement, her back against the wall. He murmured(低语) "sorry" and moved on to his destination. Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more----all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman. “You like these, true believer?” Tommy turned around An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face. “Y-yes, …Yes, they’re awesome!” answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot ...”the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.” “Then become one!” said the old man. “How?” Tommy asked in surprise. “I don’t have any superpowers.” “And why would you need them?” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, he squatted(蹲下) and put his hands on Tommy's arms. “Did you know that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband? She’s been working hard and taking care of him for years. I’ve never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person ---” he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.” The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart.” 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 永春一中2024届高三年最后一卷 英语科试卷 考试时间120分钟，试卷总分150分 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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man do?

She spent nine years supporting homeless people in Springfield, Missouri, through a charitable organization called The Gathering Tree, which welcomed people a few times each week during daylight hours, providing a safe and welcoming place for them to take showers, socialize, or simply rest. But they had to close their doors for the night. “One cold winter night, I watched as my friends walked off into the darkness to a wet, cold camp, while we went home to a warm bed,” Linda said, “I realized I had to do something.” She had an idea to create a village of tiny houses to make sure no one slept outside on her watch! Linda started fundraising. She began by appealing to her fellow estate agents in the area before branching out into local businesses. Using these donations, Linda purchased a nearby abandoned area that already had the infrastructure in place. By February 2019, they’d built 31 tiny homes for their Eden Village and found residents for each one. All the residents must be good neighbors in order to stay in the village, and they certainly are! Linda was happy when she learned that the village actually increased local property values rather than lowering them as some people had feared. Linda hasn’t stopped working since Eden Village began. A second village opened in the fall of 2020, and there’s a third location in the works as well! She hopes to have five villages across Springfield within the next five years, helping more than 200 homeless people get off the streets and into a new life. To this day, Linda firmly believes that there are a million reasons someone can become homeless, but each of them can be solved with love and community involvement. 24. What does The Gathering Tree do for the homeless? A. It raises money for them. B. It builds tiny houses for them. C. It helps them find warm camps. D. It provides them with day shelters. 25. What did some people fear? A. Their own homes would be lost . B. Their jobs would be taken over . C. Their safety would be seriously threatened. D. Their local property values would be lowered. 26. What does Linda expect to do? A. Help homeless people find work. B. Reach out to more homeless people. C. Build more infrastructure at Eden Village. D. Get homeless people involved in building Eden Village. 27. Which of the following can best describe Linda? A. Ambitious and scholarly. B. Brave and imaginative. C. Sympathetic and innovative. D. Generous and independent. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Linda Brown成立了慈善组织The Gathering Tree，帮助无家可归的人的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“She spent nine years supporting homeless people in Springfield, Missouri, through a charitable organization called The Gathering Tree, which welcomed people a few times each week during daylight hours, providing a safe and welcoming place for them to take showers, socialize, or simply rest. (她花了九年的时间在密苏里州的斯普林菲尔德帮助无家可归的人，通过一个名为The Gathering Tree的慈善组织，该组织每周在白天数次迎接人们，为他们提供一个安全而温馨的地方洗澡，社交，或者只是休息。)”可知，The Gathering Tree为无家可归的人提供日间庇护所。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Linda was happy when she learned that the village actually increased local property values rather than lowering them as some people had feared. (当Linda得知这个村庄实际上提高了当地的房地产价值，而不是像一些人担心的那样降低了它们的价值时，她很高兴。)”可知，有些人担心他们当地的财产价值会降低。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“She hopes to have five villages across Springfield within the next five years, helping more than 200 homeless people get off the streets and into a new life. (她希望在未来五年内在斯普林菲尔德建立五个村庄，帮助200多名无家可归的人离开街头，开始新的生活。)”可知，Linda想帮助更多无家可归的人。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据最后一段“To this day, Linda firmly believes that there are a million reasons someone can become homeless, but each of them can be solved with love and community involvement.

Crawling out from underground every 13 or 17 years, with a collective song as loud as jet engines, the periodical cicadas are nature’s kings of the calendar. These black bugs with bulging eyes differ from their greener cousins that come out annually. They stay buried year after year, until they surface and take over a landscape. This spring, an unusual cicada double population is about to invade a couple of parts of the United States in what University of Connecticut cicada expert John Cooley called “cicada-geddon”. The last time these two broods (a group of creatures) came out together was in 1803. Thomas Jefferson, the then president, wrote about cicadas in his Garden Book but mistakenly called them locusts (蝗虫). Usually mistaken for hungry and unrelated locusts, periodical cicadas are more annoying rather than causing great economic damage. They can hurt young trees and some fruit crops, but it’s not widespread and can be prevented. The largest geographic brood in the nation — called Brood XIX and coming out every 13 years — is about to march through the Southeast, having already created countless boreholes in the red Georgia clay. It’s a sure sign of the coming cicada occupation. “They emerge when the ground warms to 64 degrees, which is happening earlier than it used to because of climate change,” scientists said. “The bugs are brown at first but darken as they mature.” Soon after the insects appear in large numbers in Georgia and the rest of the Southeast, cicada cousins that come out every 17 years will inundate Illinois. They are Brood ⅩⅢ. “And when you put those two together… you would have more than anywhere else any other time,” University of Maryland entomologist Paula Shrewsbury said. “These two broods may actually overlap — but probably not interbreed in a small area near central Illinois.” 28. How are periodical cicadas different from their greener cousins? A. They appear once a year. B. They look more beautiful. C. They have stronger muscles. D. They have a longer life circle. 29. What is a common belief on periodical cicadas? A. They are a type of locusts. B. They have underestimated advantages. C. They are Thomas Jefferson’s inspiration. D. They only eat young trees and fruit crops. 30. What can be inferred about Brood ⅩⅨ? A. The red Georgia clay is more beneficial to them. B. Climate change may be confusing their schedules. C. The adult ones only live 4-6 weeks before they die. D. They are expected to be found throughout the world. 31. What can best replace the underlined word “inundate” in the last paragraph? A. Strike out. B. Give up. C. Flood into. D. Jump at. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了周期性蝉的生活习性和它们与其他蝉的区别，以及它们可能对环境产生的影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Crawling out from underground every 13 or 17 years, with a collective song as loud as jet engines, the periodical cicadas are nature’s kings of the calendar. These black bugs with bulging eyes differ from their greener cousins that come out annually. They stay buried year after year, until they surface and take over a landscape. (每隔13或17年，蝉就会从地下爬出来，发出像喷气发动机一样响亮的集体歌声，它们是自然界的日历之王。这些眼睛凸出的黑色虫子与它们每年出现的绿色表亲不同。它们年复一年地埋在地下，直到浮出水面，占据一片土地。)”可知，这些眼睛凸出的黑色昆虫与它们每年出现的绿色表亲不同。它们年复一年地被埋在地下，直到重新出现，占据一片土地。这说明周期性的蝉生命周期更长。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Usually mistaken for hungry and unrelated locusts, periodical cicadas are more annoying rather than causing great economic damage. (周期性的蝉通常被误认为是饥饿的不相干的蝗虫，它们更令人讨厌，而不是造成巨大的经济损失。)”可知，人们普遍认为周期性蝉是蝗虫的一种。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““They emerge when the ground warms to 64 degrees, which is happening earlier than it used to because of climate change,” scientists said. (科学家们说：“当地面升温到64度时，它们就会出现，由于气候变化，这种情况比以前发生得更早。”)”可知，气候变化可能影响了周期性的蝉的出现时间，即，气候变化可能正在混淆它们的周期时间。故选B。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Soon after the insects appear in large numbers in Georgia and the rest of the Southeast, cicada cousins that come out every 17 years will... (这些昆虫在乔治亚州和东南部其他地区大量出现后不久，每17年出现一次的蝉表亲将……)”和“And when you put those two together… you would have more than anywhere else any other time (当你把这两者放在一起时，你会比其他任何时候都有更多的昆虫。)”可知，这些昆虫数量很多，每17年出现一次的蝉的表亲就会淹没伊利诺伊州，划线词的含义为“涌入，淹没”。A. strike out罢工；B. give up放弃；C. flood into涌入；D. jump at纵身一跃。故选C。 D Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time: “Did they like me or were they just being polite?” “Were they deep in thought or deeply bored?” To find out whether these worries are necessary, we have conducted nearly 10 years of research. In our studies, participants in the UK talked with someone they had never met before. Afterward, they were asked how much they liked their conversation partner and how much they believed that their conversation partner liked them. This allowed us to compare how much people believed they were liked to how much they were actually liked. Time and time again, we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made. That is, people systematically underestimate how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company — a false belief we call the “liking gap”. This bias (偏见) may seem like something that would occur only in initial interactions, but its effects extend far beyond a first impression. Surprisingly, the liking gap can constantly affect a variety of relationships, including interactions with coworkers, long after the initial conversations have taken place. Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together. There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings. One place to start is shifting your focus of attention. Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. The more you’re zeroed in on the other person, and the less you’re focused on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well. 32. Why did the author carry out 10 years of research? A. To dismiss national concerns. B. To check out a potential bias. C. To enhance human communication. D. To develop harmonious relationships. 33. What is one effect of people’s liking gap? A. Fewer chances of new projects. B. Underestimation of their ability. C. Bad relationships with people around. D. Low willingness to interact with others. 34. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Restate opinions. B. Deliver warnings. C. Give suggestions. D. Make a summary. 35. Which might be the best title for the text? A. Liking Gap May Influence Work Performances B. First Impressions Rely On Initial Conversations C. People Probably Like You More Than You Think D. How People Like You Matters Less Than You Assume 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了什么是“好感认知差距”以及这种心态对人们社交关系的影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Initial conversations can have a huge impact on how relationships develop over time. People are often stuck in the impressions they think they might have made the minute they finish speaking with someone for the first time: “Did they like me or were they just being polite?” “Were they deep in thought or deeply bored?”(最初的对话会对关系的发展产生巨大的影响。人们常常会陷入自己第一次和别人说话时留下的印象中：“他们是喜欢我还是只是出于礼貌？”“他们是在沉思还是很无聊？”)”以及第二段“To find out whether these worries are necessary, we have conducted nearly 10 years of research.(为了弄清楚这些担忧是否有必要，我们进行了近10年的研究)”可知，作者进行10年的研究是为了找出潜在的偏见。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Having a larger liking gap is associated with being less willing to ask workmates for help, less willing to provide workmates with open and honest feedback, and less willing to work on another project together.(好感认知差距越大，就越不愿意向同事寻求帮助，越不愿意向同事提供公开和诚实的反馈，越不愿意一起完成另一个项目)”可知，好感认知差距的一个影响是与他人互动的意愿低。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There are numerous strategies to minimize your biased feelings. One place to start is shifting your focus of attention. Try to direct your attention to your conversation partner, be genuinely curious about them, ask them more questions, and really listen to their answers. The more you’re zeroed in on the other person, and the less you’re focused on yourself, the better your conversation will be and the less your mind will turn to all the things you think you didn’t do well.(有很多策略可以减少你的偏见。可以从转移你的注意力开始。试着把你的注意力转移到你的谈话对象身上，真诚地对他们感到好奇，问他们更多的问题，并认真倾听他们的回答。你越关注对方，越少关注自己，你们的对话就会越好，你也就越不会去想那些你认为自己做得不好的事情)”可知，作者在最后一段想给出建议。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Time and time again, we found that people left their conversations with negative feelings about the impression they made. That is, people systematically underestimate how much their conversation partners like them and enjoy their company — a false belief we call the “liking gap”.(我们一次又一次地发现，人们在结束谈话时对自己留下的印象感到消极。也就是说，人们系统性地低估了交谈对象对自己的喜爱程度和对陪伴的享受程度——这种错误的信念我们称之为“好感认知差距”)”结合文章主要说明了什么是“好感认知差距”以及这种心态对人们社交关系的影响。可知，C选项“人们可能比你想象的更喜欢你”最符合文章标题。故选C。 第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 Floods can come from multiple sources.

However##Nevertheless 59. from 60. was added 61. introduction 62. sharpen 63. what 64. produced 65. to think 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了酥油茶是中国藏族的一种传统饮料，它的咸味和意想不到的味道正在流行起来。 【56题详解】 考查形容词。句意：酥油茶是中国藏族的一种传统饮料，它的咸味和意想不到的味道正在流行起来。由and连接的unexpected为形容词可知，此处也应为形容词形式，共同作定语修饰名词flavor。故填salty。 【57题详解】 考查冠词。句意：对于在纽约喜马拉雅咖啡馆工作的杰森来说，他面前那杯茶里的黄油最好来自一头牦牛。根据句意以及空后in the cup of tea可知，此处应为特指“他面前那杯茶里的黄油”，所以为定冠词the的填入。故填the。 【58题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，在纽约，牦牛黄油很难买到，所以杰森和其他在喜马拉雅咖啡馆点牛油的人都只能将就着用牛油。根据上下句句意可知，此处为副词However/Nevertheless“然而”表示转折，满足上下句逻辑关系。故填However/Nevertheless。 【59题详解】 考查介词。句意：然而，在纽约，牦牛黄油很难买到，所以杰森和其他在喜马拉雅咖啡馆点牛油的人都只能将就着用牛油。根据句意以及空后a cow为名词可知，此处为介词from表示“来自”，满足句意要求。故填from。 【60题详解】 考查动词短语和时态。句意：在西藏，酥油储量丰富，但没有人确切知道酥油第一次被加入热茶是什么时候。分析句子可知，此处为动词短语be added to“被添加到”，满足句意要求，结合该句时间状语for the first time可知，此处应为一般过去时，主语yak butter表示单数意义。故填was added。 【61题详解】 考查名词。句意：这种热酥油茶传入西藏，为西藏人民提供了温暖，补充了他们贫乏的饮食。由空前The定冠词可知，此处为名词形式作主语。故填introduction。 【62题详解】 考查动词原形。句意：它也被称为藏药，人们相信它可以使人的身心更加敏锐。分析句子可知，此处为动词短语be able to do“能够做某事”，所以此处为动词原形。故填sharpen。 【63题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：今天，给客人端上酥油茶，并一次又一次地把碗里的茶倒满，直到告别的时候，礼貌的客人会把剩下的喝光，这是西藏好客的一部分。分析句子可知，此处为连接代词what引导的宾语从句，what在从句中作主语成分，意为“剩下的东西”。故填what。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：对于非藏族人来说，牦牛黄油一开始可能会尝起来很奇怪，因为它的味道与用玉米喂养的牛生产的甜黄油非常不同。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰butter，butter和produce为被动关系，所以为过去分词形式。故填produced。 【65题详解】 考查固定句型。句意：他们中的一些人认为，把它看作一种清淡的汤，而不是茶，是有帮助的。分析句子可知，此处为固定句型sb find it+adj+ to do，表示“某人发现做某事是怎样的”，其中it是形式宾语，动词不定式to do作真正的宾语。故填to think。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假如你是李华，本周末国外友好学校学生将参观你校的“菜园”。菜园是学生平时种菜种花的地方。请用英文准备一篇解说词。内容包括：1. 表示欢迎；2. 相关介绍。 Hello everyone, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Hello everyone, Welcome to our school's vegetable garden!

Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination----the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines(小塑像) of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He’s been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to fulfil his little dream. He was so excited and barely noticing the world around him. Maybe that’s why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the pavement, her back against the wall. He murmured(低语) "sorry" and moved on to his destination. Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more----all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman. “You like these, true believer?” Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face. “Y-yes, …Yes, they’re awesome!” answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot ...”the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.” “Then become one!” said the old man. “How?” Tommy asked in surprise. “I don’t have any superpowers.” “And why would you need them?” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, he squatted(蹲下) and put his hands on Tommy's arms. “Did you know that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband? She’s been working hard and taking care of him for years. I’ve never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person ---” he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.” The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart.” 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely. Finally he raised his head. "So I am supposed to...” he stopped mid-sentence when he realized that he was alone. He turned his head left and right, but the old man was nowhere to be seen. His eyes lit up---- he already had an idea of what he should do. He looked at figurines for the last time and moved towards the counter. "Two sandwiches and a cup of tea please, "he said, and then returned, food in hand. The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. Tommy came closer and carefully gave the woman his buys. Her eyes opened wide in surprise, then filled with tears. “Thank you," she whispered. Tommy bowed his head, turned around and went back home. He was moving faster and faster and finally he started to run. Strange energy filling his body made him feel like he could fly. When he finally stopped, he was breathing heavily, but he didn’t feel tired. He smiled happily --- it was a wonderful feeling. And nothing could stop it. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了汤米想成为超级英雄，在一个老人的开导下他学会了用自己的行动去帮助他人的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“汤米低下头，看着自己的鞋子，冥思苦想。”可知，第一段可描写汤米懂得了真正超级英雄的含义。 ②由第二段首句内容“那个无家可归的女人就在那里，他最后一次见到她的地方。”可知，第二段可描写汤米帮助了那个女人。 2.续写线索：领悟——帮助——感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.开始：start/begin/commence ②.充满：be filled with/be full of 情绪类 ①.感谢：Thank for/show one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/be grateful ②.积极：positive attitude/act positively 【点睛】[高分句型1].
