B I had gone into a chief’s office to talk about a couple of issues that needed to be addressed. She, like all of the men and women in her department, had been through the well-known ‘ringer’. The stress was so intense, one could almost taste it. I had been assisting the department during a crucial period of being very short-handed, and was watching everyone get close to burn-out. When I inquired about her state of mind, she admitted that her home life was almost non-existent, because she was ‘zombieing through the evening’. The next words out of her mouth expressed a frustration of my own: “This work is not my gift from God. My family is!” I had heard of hanging all of one’s problems from the office on a“Trouble Tree”while driving home, to be picked up on the way back to the office in the morning, and for a brief second thought about suggesting that scenario to the chief. But what came out was:“Why don’t we do something different? Let’s have a Blessing Tree. On the way home in the evening, we could pull down a blessing to write a character we adore in our spouse, a particular reason we love them, the love they or our children have for us. The list could be endless.” When I tried it on the way home that night, the stress seemed to melt away. There was a ‘spring in my step’ and when I arrived, a smile of joy was bubbling up from within! For the first time in 2 weeks, I was overjoyed to greet my wife and children! The Blessing Tree could make a major difference in your evenings, especially after those REALLY tough days. 4. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The stress of the author. B. The staff’s stress in the department. C. The issues requiring addressing. D. The famous ringer of the chief. 5. What do the underlined words “zombieing through the evening” mean in paragraph 2? A. Becoming a zombie in the evening. B. Being extremely tired in the evening. C. Spending the evening in confusion. D. Feeling like a zombie during the day. 6. How were the author’s problems solved? A. By talking about them in the office. B. By sharing them with family members. C. By making use of a “Trouble Tree”. D. By making use of a “Blessing Tree”. 7. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To show the pressure in modern life. B. To persuade readers to pray for blessings. C. To introduce stress — relieving approaches. D. To share how to raise suggestions for the chief. C Fourth Wing, a novel by Rebecca Yarros, gained attention on BookTok, TikTok’s book community, last year. Published on May 2, its sequel (续集), Iron Flame, followed just six months later on Nov. 7, bringing Yarros fame. Yarros released the first two books quickly because she had written part of Iron Flame beforehand. However, she decided to slow down the release of subsequent books. The rapid release of these books sparked a debate about whether quality is sacrificed for speed in publishing. Yarros faced criticism for mispronouncing Scottish Gaelic words during a Barnes & Noble Q&A event on the sequel’s release day. Critics suggested better preparation, like hiring a Gaelic proofreader (校对员), to avoid such errors. Despite criticism, Fourth Wing soared to the top of the New York Times’ Best Sellers List within its first week, fueled by BookTok’s influence. This phenomenon parallels fast fashion’s trends, reflecting social media’s impact on reading preferences. Yarros’ ability to blend genres and appeal to BookTok’s favorite tropes contributed to the book’s success. When books become hugely popular, publishers and authors often rush to take advantage of their success, expanding the series quickly. This rush mirrors the fast fashion industry, where items are rapidly produced to meet trends, sometimes sacrificing quality. Rushed publishing, influenced by platforms like BookTok, may result in insufficient time for writing and editing, potentially compromising the overall quality of the books. Despite concerns, popular books recommended on BookTok can still be enjoyed, whether they’re fancy hardcovers or simple paperbacks. 8. What can be learned from the first paragraph? A. BookTok users demanded a faster release. B. Fourth Wing was published on May 2 this year. C. Iron Flame was published earlier than Fourth Wing. D. Yarros released the first two books quickly due to pre-written content. 9. What advice might the critics give on mispronunciations? A. Ignoring them. B. Preparing fully for them. C. Expanding the release quickly. D. Releasing statements to defend them. 10 Why are the books recommended on BookTok still popular? A. Because they produce the series rapidly. B. Because they prioritize quantity over quality. C. Because they produce quickly to make profits. D. Because they make use of the success and meet consumers’ demands. 11. In which part of a website would you most probably find the text? A. Culture. B. Life. C. Science. D. Technology. D Hiring processes can be considered as a battle between honesty and dishonesty. You might imagine this is a simple fight between truth — seeking companies and self-promoting applicants, and to a certain extent it is. But companies sometimes deliberately twist the truth in a way that is self-destructive. Let’s start with job applicants. The point of a CV or a LinkedIn (领英) profile is to make reality as appealing as possible. If anyone who has reached a certain level of experience is a leader who is personally responsible for generating millions in revenue (收入), the world economy would be about 15 times bigger than it actually is. The average Briton spends four and a half hours a day watching TV and online videos. But the average job applicant uses their spare time only for worthy purposes, like volunteering in soup kitchens or teaching orphans to code. The companies also tend to magnify the truth as applicants do. The typical firm will write a job description that describes the work environment as fast -paced and innovative, and then lays out a set of impossible requirements for the “ideal applicant”, who almost does not exist. Sometimes-as when ads demand more years of experience in a programming language than that language has existed for-these requirements include an ability to go back and change the course of history. Tracey Franklin, a fan of “realistic job previews” (RJPs), says that one effective strategy is, in text or video, to give would-be employees a genuine sense of the negatives and positives of the job, as well as a clear idea of the company’s corporate culture. Such honesty can be its own reward. A paper in 2011 by David Earnest of Towson University and his co-authors concluded that RJPs lead to lower turnover (人事变更率) and higher employee satisfaction. 12. What do we know about a CV or a LinkedIn profile according to the passage? A. They highlight relevant volunteer work. B. They demonstrate genuine interests and hobbies. C. They exaggerate one’s achievements and skills. D. They accurately represent one’s qualifications and experiences. 13. What is the tone of the author in paragraph 2 and 3? A. Ironical. B. Concerned. C. Serious. D. Humorous. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. RJPs lead to higher turnover. B. RJPs contribute to the stability of the employees. C. Companies should avoid sharing corporate culture. D. RJPs fail to influence turnover and employee satisfaction. 15. What may be the best title for the text? A. Hire, liar B. Apply, liar C. Labor, liar D. Fire, liar 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。 Do you feel stuck in life and wish you weren’t so terrified of making mistakes?

Her smile was practically wrapped around her head. “Oh… you mean to be a driver?” I was confused. My mother was great at making sales and packing snacks. But driving competently and using technology are different. I was half-expecting her to abandon this idea before it fully spread its wings. But then she asked me to help her download the app. Mom had sworn me to secrecy because she thought my dad and sister would judge her. She was probably right. Under the cover of midday, while the rest of the family worked, we downloaded the app and watched the training videos. We practised driving on Tuesday morning. I ordered the ride to our house while we sat in the car one block away. It did not go smoothly. The navigation system was too quiet. The screen was distracting. The GPS didn’t know the best route. It was confusing. It was stressful. The ride ended in tears. “Don’t worry,” I said. “We can try again tomorrow.” One hour later, Mom decided that she alone was ready for the road. On her way home from grocery shopping, she turned on the app, which matched her quickly with the first passenger named Matthew. As she made her way toward him, the panic from the morning appeared. The silent navigation. The screen confusion. It was just too much. Naturally, she turned off her phone. She did not cancel the ride service. She did not contact him to explain. A few minutes later, Mom turned on her phone to check if it worked well. She had several missed calls from Matthew, who had been watching her on his screen and seen her drive in the opposite direction for the past five minutes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Matthew called again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Matthew took the ride, he offered to help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023~2024学年度第二学期期中考试 高二英语试题 （本试卷共12页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，用铅笔在答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。 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.

She, like all of the men and women in her department, had been through the well-known ‘ringer’. The stress was so intense, one could almost taste it. I had been assisting the department during a crucial period of being very short-handed, and was watching everyone get close to burn-out. When I inquired about her state of mind, she admitted that her home life was almost non-existent, because she was ‘zombieing through the evening’. The next words out of her mouth expressed a frustration of my own: “This work is not my gift from God. My family is!” I had heard of hanging all of one’s problems from the office on a“Trouble Tree”while driving home, to be picked up on the way back to the office in the morning, and for a brief second thought about suggesting that scenario to the chief. But what came out was:“Why don’t we do something different? Let’s have a Blessing Tree. On the way home in the evening, we could pull down a blessing to write a character we adore in our spouse, a particular reason we love them, the love they or our children have for us. The list could be endless.” When I tried it on the way home that night, the stress seemed to melt away. There was a ‘spring in my step’ and when I arrived, a smile of joy was bubbling up from within! For the first time in 2 weeks, I was overjoyed to greet my wife and children! The Blessing Tree could make a major difference in your evenings, especially after those REALLY tough days. 4. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The stress of the author. B. The staff’s stress in the department. C. The issues requiring addressing. D. The famous ringer of the chief. 5. What do the underlined words “zombieing through the evening” mean in paragraph 2? A. Becoming a zombie in the evening. B. Being extremely tired in the evening. C. Spending the evening in confusion. D. Feeling like a zombie during the day. 6. How were the author’s problems solved? A. By talking about them in the office. B. By sharing them with family members. C. By making use of a “Trouble Tree”. D. By making use of a “Blessing Tree”. 7. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To show the pressure in modern life. B To persuade readers to pray for blessings. C. To introduce stress — relieving approaches. D. To share how to raise suggestions for the chief. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者使用“祝福树”来解决工作上的压力的故事。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“I had gone into a chief’s office to talk about a couple of issues that needed to be addressed. She, like all of the men and women in her department, had been through the well-known ‘ringer’. The stress was so intense, one could almost taste it.”（我走进一位主管的办公室，讨论了一些需要解决的问题。她和她部门里所有的男男女女一样，都经历过众所周知的“敲门声”。压力是如此强烈，几乎可以尝到它的味道。）可知，第一段主要讲的是部门员工的压力。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“I had been assisting the department during a crucial period of being very short-handed, and was watching everyone get close to burn-out. When I inquired about her state of mind, she admitted that her home life was almost non-existent…”（在人手非常短缺的关键时期，我一直在协助部门，眼看着每个人都快筋疲力尽了。当我询问她的精神状态时，她承认她的家庭生活几乎不存在……）由此可推知，划线短语“zombieing through the evening”意为“晚上特别累”。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“But what came out was: “Why don’t we do something different? Let’s have a Blessing Tree. On the way home in the evening, we could pull down a blessing to write a character we adore in our spouse, a particular reason we love them, the love they or our children have for us. The list could be endless.””（但结果是：“我们为什么不做点不同的事情呢？”让我们有一个祝福树。在晚上回家的路上，我们可以写下祝福，写下我们崇拜配偶的一个特点，我们爱他们的一个特殊原因，他们或我们的孩子对我们的爱。这样的例子不胜枚举。”）可知，作者通过使用“祝福树”来解决问题的。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及倒数第二段“When I tried it on the way home that night, the stress seemed to melt away. There was a ‘spring in my step’ and when I arrived, a smile of joy was bubbling up from within! For the first time in 2 weeks, I was overjoyed to greet my wife and children!”（那天晚上我在回家的路上试了试，压力似乎消失了。“我的脚步轻快”，当我到达时，一个快乐的微笑从内心冒出来！两个星期以来，我第一次欣喜若狂地迎接我的妻子和孩子！）和最后一段“The Blessing Tree could make a major difference in your evenings, especially after those REALLY tough days.”（祝福树可以让你的夜晚变得与众不同，尤其是在那些艰难的日子之后。）可推知，这篇文章的目的是介绍减压方法。故选C项。 C Fourth Wing, a novel by Rebecca Yarros, gained attention on BookTok, TikTok’s book community, last year. Published on May 2, its sequel (续集), Iron Flame, followed just six months later on Nov. 7, bringing Yarros fame. Yarros released the first two books quickly because she had written part of Iron Flame beforehand. However, she decided to slow down the release of subsequent books. The rapid release of these books sparked a debate about whether quality is sacrificed for speed in publishing. Yarros faced criticism for mispronouncing Scottish Gaelic words during a Barnes & Noble Q&A event on the sequel’s release day. Critics suggested better preparation, like hiring a Gaelic proofreader (校对员), to avoid such errors. Despite criticism, Fourth Wing soared to the top of the New York Times’ Best Sellers List within its first week, fueled by BookTok’s influence. This phenomenon parallels fast fashion’s trends, reflecting social media’s impact on reading preferences. Yarros’ ability to blend genres and appeal to BookTok’s favorite tropes contributed to the book’s success. When books become hugely popular, publishers and authors often rush to take advantage of their success, expanding the series quickly. This rush mirrors the fast fashion industry, where items are rapidly produced to meet trends, sometimes sacrificing quality. Rushed publishing, influenced by platforms like BookTok, may result in insufficient time for writing and editing, potentially compromising the overall quality of the books. Despite concerns, popular books recommended on BookTok can still be enjoyed, whether they’re fancy hardcovers or simple paperbacks. 8. What can be learned from the first paragraph? A. BookTok users demanded a faster release. B. Fourth Wing was published on May 2 this year. C. Iron Flame was published earlier than Fourth Wing. D. Yarros released the first two books quickly due to pre-written content. 9. What advice might the critics give on mispronunciations? A. Ignoring them. B. Preparing fully for them. C. Expanding the release quickly. D. Releasing statements to defend them. 10. Why are the books recommended on BookTok still popular? A. Because they produce the series rapidly. B. Because they prioritize quantity over quality. C. Because they produce quickly to make profits. D. Because they make use of the success and meet consumers’ demands. 11. In which part of a website would you most probably find the text? A. Culture. B. Life. C. Science. D. Technology. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当今出版业的一个现象——网络社区BookTok导致出版业出现了“快时尚” 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Yarros released the first two books quickly because she had written part of Iron Flame beforehand.(亚罗斯很快出版了前两本书，因为她事先写了《铁焰》的一部分)”可知，由于预先写好的内容，亚罗斯很快发行了前两本书。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Critics suggested better preparation, like hiring a Gaelic proofreader (校对员), to avoid such errors.(批评者建议做更好的准备，比如聘请盖尔语校对员，以避免此类错误)”可知，对于发音错误，评论家建议做好充分准备。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This phenomenon parallels fast fashion’s trends, reflecting social media’s impact on reading preferences.(这种现象与快时尚趋势相似，反映了社交媒体对阅读偏好的影响)”以及第三段“When books become hugely popular, publishers and authors often rush to take advantage of their success, expanding the series quickly. This rush mirrors the fast fashion industry, where items are rapidly produced to meet trends, sometimes sacrificing quality.(当书籍变得非常受欢迎时，出版商和作者往往会争先恐后地利用它们的成功，迅速扩大系列。这种热潮反映了快时尚行业，在这个行业中，为了迎合潮流，产品被迅速生产出来，有时会牺牲质量)”可知，在BookTok上推荐的书仍然很受欢迎是因为他们利用成功来满足消费者的需求。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The rapid release of these books sparked a debate about whether quality is sacrificed for speed in publishing.(这些书的快速发行引发了一场关于出版是否为了速度而牺牲质量的争论)”可知，文章主要介绍了当今出版业的一个现象——网络社区BookTok导致出版业出现了“快时尚”。由此推知，本文很可能来自一个网站中的文化版块。故选A。 D Hiring processes can be considered as a battle between honesty and dishonesty. You might imagine this is a simple fight between truth — seeking companies and self-promoting applicants, and to a certain extent it is. But companies sometimes deliberately twist the truth in a way that is self-destructive. Let’s start with job applicants. The point of a CV or a LinkedIn (领英) profile is to make reality as appealing as possible. If anyone who has reached a certain level of experience is a leader who is personally responsible for generating millions in revenue (收入), the world economy would be about 15 times bigger than it actually is. The average Briton spends four and a half hours a day watching TV and online videos. But the average job applicant uses their spare time only for worthy purposes, like volunteering in soup kitchens or teaching orphans to code. The companies also tend to magnify the truth as applicants do. The typical firm will write a job description that describes the work environment as fast -paced and innovative, and then lays out a set of impossible requirements for the “ideal applicant”, who almost does not exist. Sometimes-as when ads demand more years of experience in a programming language than that language has existed for-these requirements include an ability to go back and change the course of history. Tracey Franklin, a fan of “realistic job previews” (RJPs), says that one effective strategy is, in text or video, to give would-be employees a genuine sense of the negatives and positives of the job, as well as a clear idea of the company’s corporate culture. Such honesty can be its own reward. A paper in 2011 by David Earnest of Towson University and his co-authors concluded that RJPs lead to lower turnover (人事变更率) and higher employee satisfaction. 12. What do we know about a CV or a LinkedIn profile according to the passage? A They highlight relevant volunteer work. B. They demonstrate genuine interests and hobbies. C. They exaggerate one’s achievements and skills. D They accurately represent one’s qualifications and experiences. 13. What is the tone of the author in paragraph 2 and 3? A. Ironical. B. Concerned. C. Serious. D. Humorous. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. RJPs lead to higher turnover. B. RJPs contribute to the stability of the employees. C. Companies should avoid sharing corporate culture. D. RJPs fail to influence turnover and employee satisfaction. 15. What may be the best title for the text? A. Hire, liar B. Apply, liar C. Labor, liar D. Fire, liar 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了招聘过程可以被看作是一场诚实与不诚实之间的战斗。你可能会认为这是追求真理的公司和自我推销的求职者之间的一场简单的斗争，在某种程度上确实如此。但企业有时会故意以一种自我毁灭的方式歪曲事实。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Let’s start with job applicants. The point of a CV or a LinkedIn profile is to make reality as appealing as possible. If anyone who has reached a certain level of experience is a leader who is personally responsible for generating millions in revenue, the world economy would be about 15 times bigger than it actually is.”（让我们从求职者开始。简历或领英个人资料的重点是让现实尽可能吸引人。如果任何一个有一定经验的人都是一个领导者，他个人负责创造数百万美元的收入，那么世界经济将比实际规模大15倍左右。）可推知，简历或领英个人资料夸大一个人的成就和技能。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“If anyone who has reached a certain level of experience is a leader who is personally responsible for generating millions in revenue, the world economy would be about 15 times bigger than it actually is.”（如果任何一个有一定经验的人都是一个领导者，他个人负责创造数百万美元的收入，那么世界经济将比实际规模大15倍左右。）以及第三段中“Sometimes-as when ads demand more years of experience in a programming language than that language has existed for-these requirements include an ability to go back and change the course of history.”（有时候，比如广告要求一门编程语言拥有比现有语言更长的使用经验，因为这些要求包括一种回溯并改变历史进程的能力。）可推知，作者在第二段和第三段的语气是讽刺的。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Such honesty can be its own reward. A paper in 2011 by David Earnest of Towson University and his co-authors concluded that RJPs lead to lower turnover (人事变更率) and higher employee satisfaction”（2011年，陶森大学(Towson University)的戴维•欧内斯特(David Earnest)和他的合著者在一篇论文中得出结论，RJPs可以降低离职率，提高员工满意度。）可知，从最后一段可以推断出RJPs有助于员工的稳定。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Hiring processes can be considered as a battle between honesty and dishonesty. You might imagine this is a simple fight between truth -seeking companies and self-promoting applicants, and to a certain extent it is. But companies sometimes deliberately twist the truth in a way that is self-destructive.”（招聘过程可以被看作是一场诚实与不诚实之间的战斗。你可能会认为这是追求真理的公司和自我推销的求职者之间的一场简单的斗争，在某种程度上确实如此。但企业有时会故意以一种自我毁灭的方式歪曲事实。）可知，文章主要讲的是招聘过程可以被看作是一场诚实与不诚实之间的战斗。但企业有时会故意以一种自我毁灭的方式歪曲事实。由此可知，文章最好的标题是“雇佣，骗子”。故选A项。 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。 Do you feel stuck in life and wish you weren’t so terrified of making mistakes?

Her smile was practically wrapped around her head. “Oh… you mean to be a driver?” I was confused. My mother was great at making sales and packing snacks. But driving competently and using technology are different. I was half-expecting her to abandon this idea before it fully spread its wings. But then she asked me to help her download the app. Mom had sworn me to secrecy because she thought my dad and sister would judge her. She was probably right. Under the cover of midday, while the rest of the family worked, we downloaded the app and watched the training videos. We practised driving on Tuesday morning. I ordered the ride to our house while we sat in the car one block away. It did not go smoothly. The navigation system was too quiet. The screen was distracting. The GPS didn’t know the best route. It was confusing. It was stressful. The ride ended in tears. “Don’t worry,” I said. “We can try again tomorrow.” One hour later, Mom decided that she alone was ready for the road. On her way home from grocery shopping, she turned on the app, which matched her quickly with the first passenger named Matthew. As she made her way toward him, the panic from the morning appeared. The silent navigation. The screen confusion. It was just too much. Naturally, she turned off her phone. She did not cancel the ride service. She did not contact him to explain. A few minutes later, Mom turned on her phone to check if it worked well. She had several missed calls from Matthew, who had been watching her on his screen and seen her drive in the opposite direction for the past five minutes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Matthew called again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Matthew took the ride, he offered to help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Matthew called again. His voice was calm but clearly frustrated. He explained that he had been waiting for her at the pickup point, only to see her car moving away from him. My mom, feeling guilty and embarrassed, apologized profusely and promised to make it right. She asked him to wait a moment while she figured out the navigation system. With a deep breath, she restarted the app and carefully followed the directions this time, ensuring she was heading towards Matthew. As Matthew took the ride, he offered to help. He noticed my mom’s struggle with the technology and kindly suggested some tips on how to use the navigation more effectively. He showed her how to adjust the volume and brightness settings to make the screen less distracting and the directions clearer. My mom listened intently, grateful for his patience and understanding. By the end of the ride, not only had she successfully completed her first Uber trip, but she also felt more confident in her ability to handle the app and navigate the city. Matthew’s kindness and support turned a potentially disastrous experience into a learning opportunity, and my mom was determined to improve and continue her new venture as an Uber driver. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者的妈妈决定成为优步的司机，尽管她在驾驶和技术方面并不擅长。因为担心其他家人会产生质疑，她偷偷地让作者帮助她下载应用并观看培训视频。第一次练习时，导航和屏幕问题导致失败，但作者的妈妈没有放弃。她独自尝试，接到第一位乘客Matthew的订单，但同样的问题再次出现，她关闭了手机，没有取消订单或联系Matthew。当她再次查看手机时，发现Matthew已经尝试联系她，因为他看到她的车辆正朝相反的方向行驶。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Matthew又打来电话”和第二段首句中的“Matthew一边坐车”可知，第一段可描写Matthew在电话中表示对作者的妈妈很失望，作者的妈妈对此道歉，以及她重新启动优步的应用程序，仔细地驾驶着去接Matthew。 ②由第二段首句内容“Matthew一边坐车，一边主动提出帮忙”可知，第二段可描写Matthew帮助作者的妈妈解决导航和屏幕问题，作者的妈妈认真学习，取得进步，以及这次事件后作者的妈妈决定继续当优步的司机。 2. 续写线索：Matthew打电话——Matthew和作者妈妈在电话中的交流——作者妈妈前去接Matthew——Matthew提出帮忙——Matthew解决导航和屏幕问题——作者妈妈重获信心，坚持当优步的司机 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/clarify ②弄清楚：figure out/work out ③确保：ensure/make sure ④完成：complete/finish/accomplish 情绪类 ①失望的：frustrated/disappointed ②尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward/unsettled 【点睛】[高分句型1] He explained that he had been waiting for her at the pickup point, only to see her car moving away from him.
