B Arriving in Beijing as a 20-year-old girl from Germany, I found skateboarding to be my compass in exploring this vast and unfamiliar city. My first impression of Beijing was its combination of ancient buildings and modern, futuristic architecture, which provided a variety of skate spots. From historic landmarks to urban malls in commercial districts, each location offered its own set of challenges and opportunities for creative expression. This contrasted with the skate parks back home in Europe, which, while well-designed and functional, lacked the historical depth and aesthetic (美学的) diversity in Beijing. The skateboarding community in Beijing has also taken me by surprise. I remember the first time going out on a street skating park. I had some concerns initially, fearing that people might keep me, a foreigner, at a distance. However, with locals happy to communicate with me, my worries turned out to be unnecessary. The first thing that caught my eye was a beautiful backside flip done by Seven, a Beijing skater who was just as welcoming and free-spirited as any skaters I’d met in Europe. It’s this shared passion for skateboarding that bonds this community together tightly across the globe. In addition, even those outside the skateboarding community show curiosity and enthusiasm for the sport, which impressed me a lot. Passersby, especially the elders and young children, often stop to watch us skate, with some even daring to try it out for themselves. This openness and eagerness for exploration were refreshing for me, and it provided a wonderful opportunity for cultural exchanges and mutual learning. My skateboarding journey in China has truly been enlightening, one that bridges the gap between Eastern and Western cultures. As I continue to navigate the streets and skate parks of Beijing, I do so with a deeper appreciation for the culture diversity here and the unifying power of skateboarding, which brings people together in the spirit of joy, freedom, and mutual respect. 24. What is special about skate spots in Beijing? A. The creative design. B. The historical depth. C. The modern landmark D. The commercial function. 25. What worried the author in the beginning? A. She might be too shy to join others. B. She might feel lonely in a new place. C. Locals could be unwilling to interact with her. D. Locals could be uninterested in skateboarding. 26. What left a deep impression on the author? A. Seven’s experience in Europe. B. Children’s exploration in cultures. C. The elders’ dangerous movements. D. People’s great passion for skateboarding. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Skateboarding across cultures. B. Learning skateboarding in Beijing. C. Exchanging respect among cultures. D. Making friends in a foreign country. C While bees have a reputation for doing two things well: pollinating(授粉) flowers and making honey they rarely receive the credit they deserve for their vital role in keeping a healthy grassland and maintaining a stable climate. A grassland is one type of ecosystem where bees play multiple important roles. These often-ignored habitats are composed not just of grasses but of a broad community of wildflower species. Without the help of bees, flowering plants would no longer be able to reproduce at the same rate, eventually dying out, and we’d lose these species-rich ecosystems. This would be a big problem for our planet because unlike the grasses that grow in your local park, native grassland plants have very deep roots that reach 15 feet or more into the soil. While a forest stores the majority of its carbon above ground in a tree’s trunks and branches, most grassland carbon is safely held below ground within these roots. Unlike forests, which lose most of their carbon once their trunks have burned, the carbon within a healthy grassland remains beyond the reach of fire, providing a second line of defense against a changing climate. A bee’s impact below the soil line doesn’t end with carbon storage. Many bees nest within the soil. These gatherings may include thousands of individual bees, whose nests may go many feet into the soil, providing air and opportunities for water conservation. Where they are found, bees play a significant role in ensuring that soils remain healthy. Sam Droege, a famous wildlife biologist states that bees will go wherever they are called to-the flowers, plants, and grasslands acting as a homing signal guiding them forth. “They will travel impressive distances to feed on specific species of flowering plants,” says Droege. “We’ve seen that even if the climate changes, the bees will still follow where the plants grow.” 28. Why are bees crucial to a grassland ecosystem? A. They provide honey for wild species. B. They can protect grasses from dying out. C. They change the stability of the climate. D. They help flowering plants’ reproduction. 29. Where is most grassland carbon stored? A. In the trunks of the trees. B. In the roots of the plants. C. In the surface of the soil. D. In the flowers above ground. 30. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. Where bees can be found B. Why bees nest underground. C. How bees help soils stay healthy. D. Whether bees conserve water. 31. What can be inferred from Sam Droege’s words? A. Bees are naturally attracted by plants. B. It is difficult for bees to find enough to eat. C. People can guide bees to read certain signals. D. Bees' behaviors change with global warming. D Over 200 musicians have jointly penned an open letter, urging AI developers not to use AI that infringes (侵犯) upon the rights of human artists, and requesting commitments to stop developing related AI music producing technologies. The letter stresses the irresponsible use of AI, such as reducing royalties (版税) to artists by employing AI voices and using musical works without permission. Indeed, the problem of copyright infringement in the music industry has caused concerns in many countries, including China. In 2023, a well-known Singaporean singer topped trending lists on Chinese social media after users uploaded AI-produced songs using her voice. This later caused the heated discussion-whether AI music creators should be accused of using other artists’ works without permission. Compared to the grassroots use of AI technology, the shockwaves caused by large companies are even more significant. In the US, tech giants like YouTube have begun testing AI music production tools. Recently, the AI music producing software Suno released its V3 version and made it available for users to produce songs about two minutes in length simply by providing basic text clues. In China, a domestic AI music producing software business has rapidly emulated them and released its first model “Tiangong Sky Music”, capable of producing 80-second and two-channel songs. Although tools like Suno lower the barrier for music creation, they are unlikely to entirely replace professional musicians, especially talented ones, as music is an expression of human artistic creation. The value of music lies not only in melody and rhythm but also in the story and emotion behind it, elements that current AI technology struggles to fully copy. Sacrificing and infringing upon the rights of artists, which leads to the damage of the music ecosystem, is unacceptable. Relevant authorities need to set up regulations to help enhance legal systems. 32 Why was the singer mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To highlight her popularity. B. To arouse a heated discussion. C. To display viral AI music works. D. To show a copyright damage case. 33. What does the underlined word “emulated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Followed. B. Overlooked. C. Assessed. D. Criticized. 34. What is a feature of AI music producing tools? A. Creating human artistic stories. B. Lacking ability of emotion expression. C. Struggling in melody and rhythm. D. Clearing barriers for music production. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards AI music producing tools? A. Supportive. B. Optimistic. C. Unfavorable. D. Indifferent. 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 Get Out of Your Comfort Zone It can surely be challenging and a little scary to step out of your comfort zone, but facing unfamiliar challenges can help you feel happier and more fulfilled in the long run.

In his spare time, he would sit alone, absorbed in creating a poem, carefully designing its content and sound. More often than not, he would read poems with full emotion and a beautiful voice, which brought him spiritual pleasure. However, when he turned 13, he was going through puberty. Puberty is when kids start to become mature and experience many physical and emotional changes. Alan already hit his growth spurt (成长高峰期). He was very tall. Now, he was just waiting for his voice to deepen. Before the voice deepens, it will crack (破裂) and sound high-pitched (尖锐的). In Alan’s English class, his teacher would have students do “Popcorn Reading”. Popcorn Reading is when one student reads and then calls on another student to continue reading. Alan was eventually called on. He started to read the sentence. He noticed that his voice came out all high-pitched. It sounded like he had a sore throat. His classmates started laughing at him. “What happened to your voice?” they joked. Alan was so embarrassed. He sunk into his chair and put his jacket hood over his head. After class, the teacher went to Alan to talk to him. The teacher said Alan should not feel embarrassed. Voice cracking happens to everyone. Alan still felt pretty bad about it. For the next few days, word got around about Alan’s voice. People kept asking him to talk, but Alan wouldn’t. He just stayed quiet. Even when teachers called on him to read or asked him a question, he just wrote it down. Even for his love for poems, Allan just kept creating, but dared not to read them out. One afternoon, his teacher called him into his office, and said with a smile, “Alan, to celebrate the coming Thanksgiving Day, our school decides to organise an activity presenting shows with dancing and singing. All the students will join in it. Could you write a poem and read it on the event?” 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。 Paragraph 1: Hearing the teacher’s words, Alan froze on the spot. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On the Thanksgiving Day, the skills worked and Alan gave a perfect performance. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 遵义市2024届高三年级第三次质量监测试卷 英语 （满分：150分；时间：120分钟） 注意事项： 1.考试开始前,请用黑色签字笔将答题卡上的姓名、班级、考号填写清楚,并在相应位置粘贴条形码。 2.选择题答题时,请用2B铅笔答题,若需改动,请用橡皮轻轻擦拭干净后再选涂其它选项；非选择题答题时,请用黑色签字笔在答题卡相应的位置答题；在规定区域以外的答题不给分；在试卷上作答无效。 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】 How will the speakers go to the airport?

B. Three percent. C. One third. 【答案】18. A 19. C 20. C 【解析】 【原文】M: I recently joined the nature club of school with some of my classmates at school. I wanted to join the science club but they had no spaces left, so I had to change my decision. At first, I thought I was not interested in this, but it has turned out to be amazing. We are always learning amazing facts about nature. For example, forests cover 30% of all land on Earth. At least a third of that has been completely undisturbed by human activity. Speaking of forests, I read a report online that in 2019, we lost a piece of rainforest the same size as a football field every six seconds. However, one fourth of all modern medicines come from plants found in rainforests. That is why saving the rainforests is so important. Not only do they provide us with air to breathe, but they also grow things to keep us healthy. In addition, do you know that 97% of the Earth’s water is actually salt water in the oceans? That means only 3% of the planet’s water is fresh water, yet we can only use one-third of it, as the rest is too far underground or is ice. I’m going to share this fact with the nature club on Wednesday. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节,满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分,满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Time for International Booker Prize again!

My first impression of Beijing was its combination of ancient buildings and modern, futuristic architecture, which provided a variety of skate spots. From historic landmarks to urban malls in commercial districts, each location offered its own set of challenges and opportunities for creative expression. This contrasted with the skate parks back home in Europe, which, while well-designed and functional, lacked the historical depth and aesthetic (美学的) diversity in Beijing. The skateboarding community in Beijing has also taken me by surprise. I remember the first time going out on a street skating park. I had some concerns initially, fearing that people might keep me, a foreigner, at a distance. However, with locals happy to communicate with me, my worries turned out to be unnecessary. The first thing that caught my eye was a beautiful backside flip done by Seven, a Beijing skater who was just as welcoming and free-spirited as any skaters I’d met in Europe. It’s this shared passion for skateboarding that bonds this community together tightly across the globe. In addition, even those outside the skateboarding community show curiosity and enthusiasm for the sport, which impressed me a lot. Passersby, especially the elders and young children, often stop to watch us skate, with some even daring to try it out for themselves. This openness and eagerness for exploration were refreshing for me, and it provided a wonderful opportunity for cultural exchanges and mutual learning. My skateboarding journey in China has truly been enlightening, one that bridges the gap between Eastern and Western cultures. As I continue to navigate the streets and skate parks of Beijing, I do so with a deeper appreciation for the culture diversity here and the unifying power of skateboarding, which brings people together in the spirit of joy, freedom, and mutual respect. 24. What is special about skate spots in Beijing? A. The creative design. B. The historical depth. C. The modern landmark D. The commercial function. 25. What worried the author in the beginning? A. She might be too shy to join others. B. She might feel lonely in a new place. C. Locals could be unwilling to interact with her. D. Locals could be uninterested in skateboarding. 26. What left a deep impression on the author? A. Seven’s experience in Europe. B. Children’s exploration in cultures. C. The elders’ dangerous movements. D. People’s great passion for skateboarding. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Skateboarding across cultures. B. Learning skateboarding in Beijing. C. Exchanging respect among cultures. D. Making friends in a foreign country. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在北京滑板的经历，通过滑板作为媒介体验东西方文化的交流与融合，强调了滑板带来的文化多样性和团结力量。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This contrasted with the skate parks back home in Europe, which, while well-designed and functional, lacked the historical depth and aesthetic diversity in Beijing.(这与欧洲国内的滑板公园形成了鲜明对比，尽管这些公园设计良好，功能齐全，但缺乏北京的历史深度和美学多样性)”可知，北京的滑板地点与欧洲相比，拥有历史深度和美学多样性。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I had some concerns initially, fearing that people might keep me, a foreigner, at a distance.(起初我有一些担心，担心人们会把我这个外国人拒之门外)”可知，作者最初担心当地人可能不愿意与她互动。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“In addition, even those outside the skateboarding community show curiosity and enthusiasm for the sport, which impressed me a lot.(此外，即使是滑板界以外的人也对这项运动表现出了好奇和热情，这给我留下了深刻印象)”可知，人们对滑板运动的巨大热情给作者留下了深刻的印象。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述了作者在北京滑板的经历，通过滑板作为媒介体验东西方文化的交流与融合，强调了滑板带来的文化多样性和团结力量。故选A项“跨文化的滑板运动”适合作为文章的标题。故选A项。 C While bees have a reputation for doing two things well: pollinating(授粉) flowers and making honey, they rarely receive the credit they deserve for their vital role in keeping a healthy grassland and maintaining a stable climate. A grassland is one type of ecosystem where bees play multiple important roles. These often-ignored habitats are composed not just of grasses but of a broad community of wildflower species. Without the help of bees, flowering plants would no longer be able to reproduce at the same rate, eventually dying out, and we’d lose these species-rich ecosystems. This would be a big problem for our planet because unlike the grasses that grow in your local park, native grassland plants have very deep roots that reach 15 feet or more into the soil. While a forest stores the majority of its carbon above ground in a tree’s trunks and branches, most grassland carbon is safely held below ground within these roots. Unlike forests, which lose most of their carbon once their trunks have burned, the carbon within a healthy grassland remains beyond the reach of fire, providing a second line of defense against a changing climate. A bee’s impact below the soil line doesn’t end with carbon storage. Many bees nest within the soil. These gatherings may include thousands of individual bees, whose nests may go many feet into the soil, providing air and opportunities for water conservation. Where they are found, bees play a significant role in ensuring that soils remain healthy. Sam Droege, a famous wildlife biologist states that bees will go wherever they are called to-the flowers, plants, and grasslands acting as a homing signal guiding them forth. “They will travel impressive distances to feed on specific species of flowering plants,” says Droege. “We’ve seen that even if the climate changes, the bees will still follow where the plants grow.” 28. Why are bees crucial to a grassland ecosystem? A. They provide honey for wild species. B. They can protect grasses from dying out. C. They change the stability of the climate. D. They help flowering plants’ reproduction. 29. Where is most grassland carbon stored? A. In the trunks of the trees. B. In the roots of the plants. C. In the surface of the soil. D. In the flowers above ground. 30. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. Where bees can be found B. Why bees nest underground. C. How bees help soils stay healthy. D. Whether bees conserve water. 31. What can be inferred from Sam Droege’s words? A. Bees are naturally attracted by plants. B. It is difficult for bees to find enough to eat. C. People can guide bees to read certain signals. D. Bees' behaviors change with global warming. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了蜜蜂在维护健康的草原和维持稳定的气候方面发挥了至关重要的作用。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Without the help of bees, flowering plants would no longer be able to reproduce at the same rate, eventually dying out, and we’d lose these species-rich ecosystems.(没有蜜蜂的帮助，开花植物将不再能够以同样的速度繁殖，最终灭绝，我们将失去这些物种丰富的生态系统)”可知，蜜蜂对草原生态系统至关重要是由于它们帮助开花植物繁殖。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“While a forest stores the majority of its carbon above ground in a tree’s trunks and branches, most grassland carbon is safely held below ground within these roots.(森林在地面上的大部分碳储存在树干和树枝中，而草地上的大部分碳则安全地储存在地下的树根中)”可知，草地碳储存在植物根部。故选B。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“A bee’s impact below the soil line doesn’t end with carbon storage. Many bees nest within the soil. These gatherings may include thousands of individual bees, whose nests may go many feet into the soil, providing air and opportunities for water conservation. Where they are found, bees play a significant role in ensuring that soils remain healthy.(蜜蜂在土壤线以下的影响并不仅限于碳储存。许多蜜蜂在土壤中筑巢。这些聚集可能包括数千只蜜蜂，它们的巢穴可能深入土壤数英尺，为保护水资源提供空气和机会。在发现蜜蜂的地方，蜜蜂在确保土壤健康方面发挥着重要作用)”可知，第四段描述了蜜蜂如何帮助土壤保持健康。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““They will travel impressive distances to feed on specific species of flowering plants,” says Droege. “We’ve seen that even if the climate changes, the bees will still follow where the plants grow.”(“它们会长途跋涉，以特定种类的开花植物为食，”多格说。“我们已经看到，即使气候变化，蜜蜂仍然会跟随植物生长。”)”可知，从Sam Droege的话中，我们知道蜜蜂自然地被植物吸引。故选A。 D Over 200 musicians have jointly penned an open letter, urging AI developers not to use AI that infringes (侵犯) upon the rights of human artists, and requesting commitments to stop developing related AI music producing technologies. The letter stresses the irresponsible use of AI, such as reducing royalties (版税) to artists by employing AI voices and using musical works without permission. Indeed, the problem of copyright infringement in the music industry has caused concerns in many countries, including China. In 2023, a well-known Singaporean singer topped trending lists on Chinese social media after users uploaded AI-produced songs using her voice. This later caused the heated discussion-whether AI music creators should be accused of using other artists’ works without permission. Compared to the grassroots use of AI technology, the shockwaves caused by large companies are even more significant. In the US, tech giants like YouTube have begun testing AI music production tools. Recently, the AI music producing software Suno released its V3 version and made it available for users to produce songs about two minutes in length simply by providing basic text clues. In China, a domestic AI music producing software business has rapidly emulated them and released its first model “Tiangong Sky Music”, capable of producing 80-second and two-channel songs. Although tools like Suno lower the barrier for music creation, they are unlikely to entirely replace professional musicians, especially talented ones, as music is an expression of human artistic creation. The value of music lies not only in melody and rhythm but also in the story and emotion behind it, elements that current AI technology struggles to fully copy. Sacrificing and infringing upon the rights of artists, which leads to the damage of the music ecosystem, is unacceptable. Relevant authorities need to set up regulations to help enhance legal systems. 32. Why was the singer mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To highlight her popularity. B. To arouse a heated discussion. C. To display viral AI music works. D. To show a copyright damage case. 33. What does the underlined word “emulated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Followed. B. Overlooked. C. Assessed. D. Criticized. 34. What is a feature of AI music producing tools? A. Creating human artistic stories. B. Lacking ability of emotion expression. C. Struggling in melody and rhythm. D. Clearing barriers for music production. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards AI music producing tools? A. Supportive. B. Optimistic. C. Unfavorable. D. Indifferent. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了超过200名音乐家联名发表公开信，呼吁AI开发者不要使用侵犯人类艺术家权利的AI技术，并要求承诺停止开发相关AI音乐制作技术。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Indeed, the problem of copyright infringement in the music industry has caused concerns in many countries, including China. In 2023, a well-known Singaporean singer topped trending lists on Chinese social media after users uploaded AI-produced songs using her voice. This later caused the heated discussion-whether AI music creators should be accused of using other artists’ works without permission.(确实，音乐产业中的版权侵犯问题已经在包括中国在内的许多国家引起了关注。2023年，一位知名新加坡歌手因用户上传了使用她声音制作的AI歌曲而在中国社交媒体上登上热搜榜。这随后引发了热烈的讨论——是否应该指责AI音乐创作者未经许可使用其他艺术家的作品)”可推知，段中提到新加坡歌手事件是为了展示一个版权损害案件。故选D项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。上文“In the US, tech giants like YouTube have begun testing AI music production tools. Recently, the AI music producing software Suno released its V3 version and made it available for users to produce songs about two minutes in length simply by providing basic text clues.(在美国，YouTube等科技巨头已经开始测试人工智能音乐制作工具。最近，人工智能音乐制作软件Suno推出了V3版本，用户只需提供基本的文字线索，就可以制作两分钟左右的歌曲)”介绍了美国科技巨头开始推出人工智能音乐制作软件。根据指代关系可知，划线词所在句“In China, a domestic AI music producing software business has rapidly emulated them and released its first model “Tiangong Sky Music”, capable of producing 80-second and two-channel songs.(在中国，国内一家人工智能音乐制作软件公司迅速emulated它们，发布了首款能够制作80秒和双声道歌曲的“天宫天空音乐”)”中指示代词“them”指代的就是上文中“美国科技巨头”，结合句中“released its first model “Tiangong Sky Music””可推知，中国公司“效仿”美国科技巨头，也发布了首款音乐制作软件。划线词emulated与follow同义，意为“仿效”。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Although tools like Suno lower the barrier for music creation, they are unlikely to entirely replace professional musicians, especially talented ones, as music is an expression of human artistic creation. The value of music lies not only in melody and rhythm but also in the story and emotion behind it, elements that current AI technology struggles to fully copy.(虽然像Suno这样的工具降低了音乐创作的门槛，但它们不太可能完全取代专业音乐家，尤其是有才华的音乐家，因为音乐是人类艺术创造的一种表达。音乐的价值不仅在于旋律和节奏，还在于其背后的故事和情感，这些都是目前人工智能技术难以完全复制的元素)”可知，人工智能音乐制作工具难以完全复制音乐背后的故事和情感，缺乏情感表达能力。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Sacrificing and infringing upon the rights of artists, which leads to the damage of the music ecosystem, is unacceptable. Relevant authorities need to set up regulations to help enhance legal systems.(牺牲和侵犯艺人的权利，导致音乐生态系统的破坏，这是不可接受的。有关部门需要制定法规，以帮助加强法律制度)”可知，作者认为人工智能音乐侵犯权利，破坏音乐生态系统，因此对其持反对态度。故选C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。 How to Get Out of Your Comfort Zone It can surely be challenging and a little scary to step out of your comfort zone, but facing unfamiliar challenges can help you feel happier and more fulfilled in the long run.

Then the letters were randomly sent to students in other schools. It’s not hard to imagine how excited we were when receiving a letter from a stranger.

In his spare time, he would sit alone, absorbed in creating a poem, carefully designing its content and sound. More often than not, he would read poems with full emotion and a beautiful voice, which brought him spiritual pleasure. However, when he turned 13, he was going through puberty. Puberty is when kids start to become mature and experience many physical and emotional changes. Alan already hit his growth spurt (成长高峰期). He was very tall. Now, he was just waiting for his voice to deepen. Before the voice deepens, it will crack (破裂) and sound high-pitched (尖锐的). In Alan’s English class, his teacher would have students do “Popcorn Reading”. Popcorn Reading is when one student reads and then calls on another student to continue reading. Alan was eventually called on. He started to read the sentence. He noticed that his voice came out all high-pitched. It sounded like he had a sore throat. His classmates started laughing at him. “What happened to your voice?” they joked. Alan was so embarrassed. He sunk into his chair and put his jacket hood over his head. After class, the teacher went to Alan to talk to him. The teacher said Alan should not feel embarrassed. Voice cracking happens to everyone. Alan still felt pretty bad about it. For the next few days, word got around about Alan’s voice. People kept asking him to talk, but Alan wouldn’t. He just stayed quiet. Even when teachers called on him to read or asked him a question, he just wrote it down. Even for his love for poems, Allan just kept creating, but dared not to read them out. One afternoon, his teacher called him into his office, and said with a smile, “Alan, to celebrate the coming Thanksgiving Day, our school decides to organise an activity presenting shows with dancing and singing. All the students will join in it. Could you write a poem and read it on the event?” 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。 Paragraph 1: Hearing the teacher’s words, Alan froze on the spot. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On the Thanksgiving Day, the skills worked and Alan gave a perfect performance. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Hearing the teacher’s words, Alan froze on the spot. With his palms sweating and heart racing, he told the teacher his concern about his voice. His teacher encouraged him, saying, “It’s not the voice but the poem’s content and the overall presentation that matter.” Those remarks were like sparks of enlightenment. His timidity and lack of confidence finally gave way to the desire to fulfill his long-held dream. Alan nodded and promised to his teacher he would seize the chance and go all out. For the next few weeks, he worked on the poem and surfed the Internet to find some skills to make his voice sound deeper. On the Thanksgiving Day, the skills worked and Alan gave a perfect performance. The audience were blown away by Alan’s presentation and burst out thunderous clapping. With a light-hearted feeling and a happy smile, Alan bowed slightly and walked off the stage. He headed to his teacher, hugged him and expressed his gratitude for his encouragement. Such an unforgettable experience turned Alan into a more confident man. He realised, “It’s important to know what you really want and put all your strength on it. Only when you follow your heart boldly, can you achieve your dreams.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以“变声”为线索展开，讲述了一个热爱诗歌的男孩Alan，在青春期面临变声的困扰。他在课堂上的读书声引起了同学们的嘲笑，让他感到尴尬和自卑，甚至影响到了他对于诗歌的热爱。然而，他的老师鼓励他不要为此感到尴尬，因为每个人都会经历这个过程。最后，学校决定在感恩节举办一场表演活动，老师希望Alan能为这个活动写一首诗并在活动中朗读。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“听到老师的话，艾伦当场僵住了。”可知，第一段可描写Alan在老师的鼓励下，决定面对自己的变声问题，并为即将到来的感恩节表演活动努力准备。 ②由第二段首句内容“在感恩节那天，技巧发挥了作用，艾伦的表演非常完美。”可知，第二段可描写凭借Alan所学的技巧和努力，他的表演非常完美，向老师表达感谢，最后感悟升华。 2.续写线索：紧张——老师鼓励——积极准备——表演成功——感谢老师——感悟升华 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①重要：matter/count ②实现：fulfill/accomplish ③抓住：seize/grasp 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/joyful ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】With his palms sweating and heart racing, he told the teacher his concern about his voice. (运用了with的复合结构) 【高分句型2】Only when you follow your heart boldly, can you achieve your dreams.
