He has spent his life studying ancient techniques for keeping lakes clean. Malligavad has successfully restored (恢复) many lakes, covering a total surface area of 800 acres. These lakes now hold 106 million gallons of water, and the groundwater level in those regions has increased by eight feet. It was in 2017, and he was out for a walk with colleagues when he fell into a smelly, dirty lake. Then the very next day, he asked his company if they would fund the restoration of the 36-acre lake. However, they were uncertain whether Malligavad could do this. Determined to succeed, Malligavad took it upon himself to study the history of the lake and familiarize himself with various lake restoration methods. Four months later, Malligavad received funding from his company, which enabled him to start working on this project in the city of Bengaluru. With the aid of hundreds of volunteers, they removed the waste and opened the channel. Malligavad then adopted the ancient Chola method to build mud walls that channel the extra rainwater into the lakes for agricultural use. It took them just 45 days and then they waited for the rains. Six months later, when the rainy season came, he was out boating on a fresh, clean lake. “When I saw the lake, I felt younger, and I wanted to jump into it,” Malligavad said. Since this first win, Malligavad has not stopped. He has created a non-profit organization called The Lake Revivers Collective. “All I have is a sense of urgency that if we don’t repair the damage we’ve already caused,” he said, “It’s going to end badly for all of us. Water shortage is a major problem in Bengaluru, Water tankers (水罐车) must drive in to meet the population’s needs.” His methods help to solve the problem, and even attract wildlife. 4. Why is Malligavad called the “Lake Man” in India? A. He has created the newest ways of cleaning up lakes. B. He lives by fishing in many lakes. C. He is devoted to restoring lakes. D. He is good at boating on lakes. 5. How did Malligavad respond to his company’s doubt? A. By introducing the history of the lake to the public. B. By doing research into the lake to win support. C. By discontinuing the restoration project. D. By seeking help from other companies. 6. How can we best describe the approach applied in Bengaluru? A. Challenging and dissatisfying. B. Traditional but useless. C. Practical and fruitful. D. Creative but costly. 7. What inspired Malligavad to start the non-profit organization? A. A serious lack of water resources. B. His passion for wildlife protection. C. The wish to attract public attention. D. His desire to help purchase water tankers. C A recent scientific report says that more than one-fifth of the world’s reptiles (爬行动物) are at the risk of dying out. Reptiles are cold-blooded, which means their bodies have the same temperature as the around them, Examples of reptiles include animals like snakes, lizards, and crocodiles. The study is the first worldwide measurement of how threatened different species of reptiles are. For 15 years, between 2007 and 2022, researchers collected information on over 10,000 different kinds of reptiles. The new report has revealed some unhappy news — 21% of all reptile species are in danger of extinction. That’s over 1,800 species in all. The study reported that at least 31 species of reptiles have already gone extinct. The main reason why these reptiles are faced with extinction is that humans are taking over more and more of their habitat. More land continues to be cleared to make room for cities and towns. Large areas of land are also being cleared so that they can be used as farmland. Logging — cutting down trees for wood — is another big threat to reptile habitat. When we talk about reptiles, many people may think of hot, dry areas. But some of the most endangered reptiles live in forests. The new study reports that 30% of reptile species that live in forests are at the risk of dying out. Turtles and crocodiles are among the most threatened reptiles — 60% of turtle species and 50% of crocodile species are at the risk of extinction. Similar worldwide studies were made of birds, mammals, and amphibians (两栖动物) more than ten years ago. The authors of the report say it is harder to collect the money needed to study reptiles. They believe that’s because furry (覆盖皮毛的) or feathery animals like mammals and birds are more popular with most people. Scientists say that the good news is that we know what must be done to protect reptiles. Bruce Young, one of the leaders of the study, says, “We have all the tools we need.” Protecting natural areas, especially rain forests, is at the top of the list. 8. What should be responsible for the loss of reptile habitat according to Para, 4? A. Changes in agricultural practices. B. Environmental pollution. C. Climate change. D. Human activities. 9. What is the most endangered reptile species? A. Snake species. B. Lizard species. C. Crocodile species. D. Turtle species. 10. Why is it more difficult to raise money to study reptiles? A. They are less popular than furry or feathery animals B. Most people are not aware that they are endangered. C. It is much more expensive to do research on them. D. It is much harder to find and observe them. 11. What is the theme of the text? A. Reptiles have their own way of living in their habitat. B. Many reptile species are at the risk of going extinct. C. Many reptile species are protected by a lot of laws. D. Reptiles play an important role in an ecosystem. D A 2,800-year-old Chinese bronze item that had gone missing after being stolen 40 years ago was recently returned to its motherland, which is an example of relic protection cooperation between China and the United States, the National Cultural Heritage Administration announced on Wednesday. The bronze vessel, named Feng Xingshu Gui, was believed to have been crafted during the last century of the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century BC to 771 BC). The vessel, which is 18 centimeters high’ and 2l cm in diameter and weighs about 6 kilograms, is a large bowl that has double handles, The treasure was flown from San Francisco and arrived in Beijing on Jan 28, A team of organized experts took a close look at the artifact (历史文物) the next day. Based on its comprehensive analysis of the vessel’s artistic patterns, materials, decorative arts and inscriptions (铭文), as well as old photos and historical files that were used for reference, the team confirmed that the repatriated item was the original Feng Xingshu Gui, a top-level cultural relic of China. An inscription cast in the inside part of the vessel says it was “crafted by Xingshu (a nobleman) of the Feng state, dedicated to his wife, Boji, and is a treasure for all his generations to come”. In 1978, the bronze vessel was dug out from a cellar (地下室) in Fufeng county of Baoji, Shaanxi province. It was later housed in a local museum, but on Nov 5,1984, it was stolen by thieves, and where it had gone remained unknown. Since the theft 40 years ago, China had never given up looking for it, said Li Qun, director of the National Cultural Heritage Administration. Decades later, when Raymond King, an entrepreneur based in Portland in the US state of Oregon, was helping his mother clear out old belongings in her New York apartment, little did they realize that a bronze vessel among other antiques was the long-lost treasure. However, King discovered its origin last year when he invited a researcher at Sotheby’s auction (拍卖) house to look at his mother’s collection, The next day he was told the bronze had been stolen from China. “My grandfather got it from a dealer... and then gave it to my mother,” King said, “We had no idea when or for how much it was bought, but once we understood it was stolen, my mom’s reaction was just, ‘Give it back,’” 12. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “repatriated” in Paragraph 2? A. Brought back. B. Put away. C. Looked over. D. Picked out. 13. What can be learned about the vessel? A. The vessel was stored in a cellar for 8 years after being dug out. B. The vessel was made for a nobleman’s daughter. C. The vessel was sold to a businessman in 1978. D. The vessel disappeared from a local museum. 14. How did the bronze vessel end up being owned by King’s mother? A. Her son took it from China. B. She got it from her father. C. She bought it from a dealer. D. Her son acquired it at an auction. 15. What is a suitable title for the news report? A. Lost relic happens to have been discovered in US B. Return of relic from US to China a sign of friendship C. How 2,800-year-old Chinese bronze item goes missing D. Why bronze ritual vessel believed to have been crafted 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Dreaming of dragons Dragons share similar origins in both East and West.

As I was eighteen, I was doing my first part-time job in a little corner shop. The owner was a sweet old man who always saw the good in people. We were all informed that if a homeless guy that hung out nearby came in, no matter how little money he had, we should always give him two sandwiches and a drink. If it was hot, we were supposed to give him two big bottles of water. The homeless man was a sweet man who barely spoke. One night, as my coworker had called in sick, I was in the shop alone for four hours before closing it. The homeless man came in with his little gentle smile, and I was excited because I knew I had his favorite sandwiches in the case. I handed them over to him along with his drink, and he gave me a $ 10 bill-much more than the small change he usually had. I said, “Oh, got more cash today? Do you want a hot pie to go with your dinner? I’ve got a couple left!” He smiled and nodded excitedly, pointing to the chicken pie in the warmer (加热器) and happily hopping from foot to foot. I asked him if he wanted anything else. He said, “No. Save things for the days when I don’t have any money and he still feeds me. He is a good man.” I said the owner sure was and wished him to enjoy his dinner. He waved goodbye to me. I went back to do some cleaning and fill the fridges. Then I heard the bell go off for the door, I went to the front to serve other customers. About an hour later, there were no customers. Suddenly, a strong wind came and the roof of the shop shook. It began to fall before I could escape. I was hit by something and then was unconscious. That was the last thing l remember before coming to. I was loaded into an ambulance. When I revived (苏醒) in hospital, my doctor asked, “Hey, there she is! Do you know what happened?” I stammered (结结巴巴地说) and answered his questions before asking my own. 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。 “Who rescued me after the accident happened?” I asked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One good turn deserves another. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 CBCAC 6-10 ACABB 11-15 ACBAC 16-20 BCBAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 酒泉市普通高中2024届高三第三次诊断考试(5月) 英语试题 考生注意： 1.本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：高考范围。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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?

He has spent his life studying ancient techniques for keeping lakes clean. Malligavad has successfully restored (恢复) many lakes, covering a total surface area of 800 acres. These lakes now hold 106 million gallons of water, and the groundwater level in those regions has increased by eight feet. It was in 2017, and he was out for a walk with colleagues when he fell into a smelly, dirty lake. Then the very next day, he asked his company if they would fund the restoration of the 36-acre lake. However, they were uncertain whether Malligavad could do this. Determined to succeed, Malligavad took it upon himself to study the history of the lake and familiarize himself with various lake restoration methods. Four months later, Malligavad received funding from his company, which enabled him to start working on this project in the city of Bengaluru. With the aid of hundreds of volunteers, they removed the waste and opened the channel. Malligavad then adopted the ancient Chola method to build mud walls that channel the extra rainwater into the lakes for agricultural use. It took them just 45 days and then they waited for the rains. Six months later, when the rainy season came, he was out boating on a fresh, clean lake. “When I saw the lake, I felt younger, and I wanted to jump into it,” Malligavad said. Since this first win, Malligavad has not stopped. He has created a non-profit organization called The Lake Revivers Collective. “All I have is a sense of urgency that if we don’t repair the damage we’ve already caused,” he said, “It’s going to end badly for all of us. Water shortage is a major problem in Bengaluru, Water tankers (水罐车) must drive in to meet the population’s needs.” His methods help to solve the problem, and even attract wildlife. 4. Why is Malligavad called the “Lake Man” in India? A. He has created the newest ways of cleaning up lakes. B. He lives by fishing in many lakes. C. He is devoted to restoring lakes. D. He is good at boating on lakes. 5. How did Malligavad respond to his company’s doubt? A. By introducing the history of the lake to the public. B. By doing research into the lake to win support. C. By discontinuing the restoration project. D. By seeking help from other companies. 6. How can we best describe the approach applied in Bengaluru? A. Challenging and dissatisfying. B. Traditional but useless. C. Practical and fruitful. D. Creative but costly. 7. What inspired Malligavad to start the non-profit organization? A. A serious lack of water resources. B. His passion for wildlife protection. C. The wish to attract public attention. D. His desire to help purchase water tankers. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了印度“湖人”Anand Malligavad如何运用古老技法成功恢复湖泊，解决水资源短缺问题，并创立非营利组织推动更多湖泊修复工作。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Malligavad has successfully restored (恢复) many lakes, covering a total surface area of 800 acres.(马利加瓦德成功修复了许多湖泊，总面积达800英亩)”可知，马利加瓦德在印度被称为“湖人”是因为他致力于修复湖泊。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Determined to succeed, Malligavad took it upon himself to study the history of the lake and familiarize himself with various lake restoration methods.(决心取得成功的马利加瓦德亲自研究了湖泊的历史，熟悉了各种湖泊修复方法)”可知，马利加瓦德是亲自研究了湖泊的历史，熟悉了各种湖泊修复方法来回应公司的质疑的。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Six months later, when the rainy season came, he was out boating on a fresh, clean lake.“When I saw the lake, I felt younger, and I wanted to jump into it,” Malligavad said.(六个月后，雨季来临，他在一个新鲜干净的湖面上划船。“当我看到这个湖时，我觉得自己更年轻了，我想跳进去，”马利加瓦德说)”可推知，在班加罗尔应用的方法是务实而富有成果的。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Water shortage is a major problem in Bengaluru.Water tankers (水罐车) must drive in to meet the population’s needs.(缺水是班加罗尔的一个主要问题，水罐车必须驶入以满足人口的需求)”可知，水资源严重缺乏激发了马利加瓦德创办这个非营利组织。故选A。 C A recent scientific report says that more than one-fifth of the world’s reptiles (爬行动物) are at the risk of dying out. Reptiles are cold-blooded, which means their bodies have the same temperature as the around them, Examples of reptiles include animals like snakes, lizards, and crocodiles. The study is the first worldwide measurement of how threatened different species of reptiles are. For 15 years, between 2007 and 2022, researchers collected information on over 10,000 different kinds of reptiles. The new report has revealed some unhappy news — 21% of all reptile species are in danger of extinction. That’s over 1,800 species in all. The study reported that at least 31 species of reptiles have already gone extinct. The main reason why these reptiles are faced with extinction is that humans are taking over more and more of their habitat. More land continues to be cleared to make room for cities and towns. Large areas of land are also being cleared so that they can be used as farmland. Logging — cutting down trees for wood — is another big threat to reptile habitat. When we talk about reptiles, many people may think of hot, dry areas. But some of the most endangered reptiles live in forests. The new study reports that 30% of reptile species that live in forests are at the risk of dying out. Turtles and crocodiles are among the most threatened reptiles — 60% of turtle species and 50% of crocodile species are at the risk of extinction. Similar worldwide studies were made of birds, mammals, and amphibians (两栖动物) more than ten years ago. The authors of the report say it is harder to collect the money needed to study reptiles. They believe that’s because furry (覆盖皮毛的) or feathery animals like mammals and birds are more popular with most people. Scientists say that the good news is that we know what must be done to protect reptiles. Bruce Young, one of the leaders of the study, says, “We have all the tools we need.” Protecting natural areas, especially rain forests, is at the top of the list. 8. What should be responsible for the loss of reptile habitat according to Para, 4? A. Changes in agricultural practices. B. Environmental pollution. C. Climate change. D. Human activities. 9. What is the most endangered reptile species? A. Snake species. B. Lizard species. C. Crocodile species. D. Turtle species. 10. Why is it more difficult to raise money to study reptiles? A. They are less popular than furry or feathery animals B. Most people are not aware that they are endangered. C. It is much more expensive to do research on them. D. It is much harder to find and observe them. 11. What is the theme of the text? A. Reptiles have their own way of living in their habitat. B. Many reptile species are at the risk of going extinct. C. Many reptile species are protected by a lot of laws. D. Reptiles play an important role in an ecosystem. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了爬行动物面临灭绝的危险，说明了导致其灭绝的原因以及保护措施。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The main reason why these reptiles are faced with extinction is that humans are taking over more and more of their habitat. More land continues to be cleared to make room for cities and towns. Large areas of land are also being cleared so that they can be used as farmland. Logging—cutting down trees for wood—is another big threat to reptile habitat.(这些爬行动物面临灭绝的主要原因是人类正在接管越来越多的它们的栖息地。更多的土地继续被清理出来，为城镇腾出空间。大面积的土地也正在被清理，以便可以用作农田。伐木——砍伐树木获取木材——是对爬行动物栖息地的另一大威胁)”可知，人类活动对爬行动物栖息地的丧失负责。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Turtles and crocodiles are among the most threatened reptiles—60% of turtle species and 50% of crocodile species are at the risk of extinction.(海龟和鳄鱼是最受威胁的爬行动物——60%的海龟和50%的鳄鱼面临灭绝的危险)”可知，最濒危的爬行动物是龟类。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“The authors of the report say it is harder to collect the money needed to study reptiles. They believe that’s because furry (覆盖皮毛的) or feathery animals like mammals and birds are more popular with most people.(该报告的作者表示，筹集研究爬行动物所需的资金更加困难。他们认为这是因为像哺乳动物和鸟类这样毛茸茸或有羽毛的动物更受大多数人的欢迎)”可知，为研究爬行动物更难筹集资金因为它们不如毛茸茸或有羽毛的动物受欢迎。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A recent scientific report says that more than one-fifth of the world’s reptiles (爬行动物) are at the risk of dying out.(最近的一份科学报告称，世界上超过五分之一的爬行动物正面临灭绝的危险)”结合文章主要说明了爬行动物面临灭绝的危险，说明了导致其灭绝的原因以及保护措施。可知，文章主题是许多爬行动物有灭绝的危险。故选B。 D A 2,800-year-old Chinese bronze item that had gone missing after being stolen 40 years ago was recently returned to its motherland, which is an example of relic protection cooperation between China and the United States, the National Cultural Heritage Administration announced on Wednesday. The bronze vessel, named Feng Xingshu Gui, was believed to have been crafted during the last century of the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century BC to 771 BC). The vessel, which is 18 centimeters high’ and 2l cm in diameter and weighs about 6 kilograms, is a large bowl that has double handles, The treasure was flown from San Francisco and arrived in Beijing on Jan 28, A team of organized experts took a close look at the artifact (历史文物) the next day. Based on its comprehensive analysis of the vessel’s artistic patterns, materials, decorative arts and inscriptions (铭文), as well as old photos and historical files that were used for reference, the team confirmed that the repatriated item was the original Feng Xingshu Gui, a top-level cultural relic of China. An inscription cast in the inside part of the vessel says it was “crafted by Xingshu (a nobleman) of the Feng state, dedicated to his wife, Boji, and is a treasure for all his generations to come”. In 1978, the bronze vessel was dug out from a cellar (地下室) in Fufeng county of Baoji, Shaanxi province. It was later housed in a local museum, but on Nov 5,1984, it was stolen by thieves, and where it had gone remained unknown. Since the theft 40 years ago, China had never given up looking for it, said Li Qun, director of the National Cultural Heritage Administration. Decades later, when Raymond King, an entrepreneur based in Portland in the US state of Oregon, was helping his mother clear out old belongings in her New York apartment, little did they realize that a bronze vessel among other antiques was the long-lost treasure. However, King discovered its origin last year when he invited a researcher at Sotheby’s auction (拍卖) house to look at his mother’s collection, The next day he was told the bronze had been stolen from China. “My grandfather got it from a dealer... and then gave it to my mother,” King said, “We had no idea when or for how much it was bought, but once we understood it was stolen, my mom’s reaction was just, ‘Give it back,’” 12. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “repatriated” in Paragraph 2? A Brought back. B. Put away. C. Looked over. D. Picked out. 13. What can be learned about the vessel? A. The vessel was stored in a cellar for 8 years after being dug out. B. The vessel was made for a nobleman’s daughter. C. The vessel was sold to a businessman in 1978. D. The vessel disappeared from a local museum. 14 How did the bronze vessel end up being owned by King’s mother? A. Her son took it from China. B. She got it from her father. C. She bought it from a dealer. D. Her son acquired it at an auction. 15. What is a suitable title for the news report? A. Lost relic happens to have been discovered in US B. Return of relic from US to China a sign of friendship C. How 2,800-year-old Chinese bronze item goes missing D. Why bronze ritual vessel believed to have been crafted 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了一件2800年历史的中国青铜器被美国归还给了中国，介绍了青铜器的情况以及物主是如何得到的。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“A 2,800-year-old Chinese bronze item that had gone missing after being stolen 40 years ago was recently returned to its motherland, which is an example of relic protection cooperation between China and the United States, the National Cultural Heritage Administration announced on Wednesday.(国家文物局周三宣布，一件有2800年历史的中国青铜器在40年前被盗后失踪，最近被送回了祖国，这是中美文物保护合作的一个例子)”以及划线词后文“item was the original Feng Xingshu Gui, a top-level cultural relic of China”可知，此处指的是被归还的文物属于中国，故划线词意思是“被遣返的；被归还的”的意思。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In 1978, the bronze vessel was dug out from a cellar (地下室) in Fufeng county of Baoji, Shaanxi province. It was later housed in a local museum, but on Nov 5,1984, it was stolen by thieves, and where it had gone remained unknown.(1978年，这只青铜器在陕西省宝鸡市扶丰县的一个地窖中被挖出。它后来被安置在当地一家博物馆，但在1984年11月5日，它被小偷偷走了，它的去向仍然未知)”可知，青铜器从当地博物馆消失了。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““My grandfather got it from a dealer... and then gave it to my mother,” King said(“我祖父从一个商人那里买到的……然后把它给了我妈妈，”金说)”可知，这只铜器是她从她父亲那里遗传的。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“A 2,800-year-old Chinese bronze item that had gone missing after being stolen 40 years ago was recently returned to its motherland, which is an example of relic protection cooperation between China and the United States, the National Cultural Heritage Administration announced on Wednesday.(国家文物局周三宣布，一件有2800年历史的中国青铜器在40年前被盗后失踪，最近被送回了祖国，这是中美文物保护合作的一个例子)”结合文章讲述了一件2800年历史的中国青铜器被美国归还给了中国，介绍了青铜器的情况以及物主是如何得到的。故B选项“从美国将文物归还中国是友谊的象征”最符合文章标题。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Dreaming of dragons Dragons share similar origins in both East and West.

As I was eighteen, I was doing my first part-time job in a little corner shop. The owner was a sweet old man who always saw the good in people. We were all informed that if a homeless guy that hung out nearby came in, no matter how little money he had, we should always give him two sandwiches and a drink. If it was hot, we were supposed to give him two big bottles of water. The homeless man was a sweet man who barely spoke. One night, as my coworker had called in sick, I was in the shop alone for four hours before closing it. The homeless man came in with his little gentle smile, and I was excited because I knew I had his favorite sandwiches in the case. I handed them over to him along with his drink, and he gave me a $ 10 bill-much more than the small change he usually had. I said, “Oh, got more cash today? Do you want a hot pie to go with your dinner? I’ve got a couple left!” He smiled and nodded excitedly, pointing to the chicken pie in the warmer (加热器) and happily hopping from foot to foot. I asked him if he wanted anything else. He said, “No. Save things for the days when I don’t have any money and he still feeds me. He is a good man.” I said the owner sure was and wished him to enjoy his dinner. He waved goodbye to me. I went back to do some cleaning and fill the fridges. Then I heard the bell go off for the door, I went to the front to serve other customers. About an hour later, there were no customers. Suddenly, a strong wind came and the roof of the shop shook. It began to fall before I could escape. I was hit by something and then was unconscious. That was the last thing l remember before coming to. I was loaded into an ambulance. When I revived (苏醒) in hospital, my doctor asked, “Hey, there she is! Do you know what happened?” I stammered (结结巴巴地说) and answered his questions before asking my own. 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。 “Who rescued me after the accident happened?” I asked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One good turn deserves another. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 “Who rescued me after the accident happened?” I asked. I said I only remembered the strong wind and I was hit by something. The doctor said when my homeless friend heard the crash, he ran in. He was slightly injured while pulling me out. The owner showed me the security video on his phone when the homeless man came to rescue me in the shop. Our homeless friend was sitting on a big stone around the corner when he heard me screaming, and he rushed to save me. I was unconscious by the time he got inside. One good turn deserves another. Our homeless friend’s good deed was reported by the local newspaper and he was regarded as a hero. He got job offers, and within two years, he was living in a little house of his own with a steady income. This was almost ten years ago. The corner shop stopped doing business long ago, and the owner is enjoying his retirement, but I still see my hero shopping at the grocery store and living his life with his partner and their two little kids. One time I tried to thank him once more, but he got embarrassed and waved goodbye to me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者兼职的时候经常帮助一名流浪汉，后来作者出了意外，是流浪汉到店里救出了作者，把作者送往医院。流浪汉最后也善有善报，得到了人们的帮助，有了工作和稳定的收入。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘事故发生后谁救了我？’我问”可知，第一段可描写医生讲述作者被流浪汉救助的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“善有善报”可知，第二段可描写流浪汉被人们认为是英雄，得到了大家的帮助。 2续写线索：询问经过——讲述被救经过——善行被报道——得到大家帮助——有了工作和收入——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①记得：remember/recall ②被认为：be regarded as /be considered as ③叫喊：scream/yell 情绪类 ①感谢：thank/show gratitude to ②尴尬：embarrassed/abashed 【点睛】[高分句型1] The doctor said when my homeless friend heard the crash, he ran in.
