B Homelessness is a major issue in every city around the world, and something that most governments struggle to manage. A Canadian millionaire’s homeless community project decided to tackle this problem head-on. Marcel LeBrun is an entrepreneur (企业家) and founder of a successful media monitoring company from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. After selling his company for eight figures, he allocated (分配) a substantial amount to address homelessness in his community. In 2023, data from the Human Development Council showed that in New Brunswick there has been a 25% increase in homeless individuals; 1,829 individuals experienced homelessness for at least one day; and 654 people experienced chronic homelessness, meaning that they were homeless for at least one year. Though the numbers may be far greater in bigger cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, LeBrun saw an opportunity to make a difference and improve the lives of those facing the challenges of homelessness. The millionaire’s homeless community project invested $4 million to build 99 tiny homes for people in need. Grants and support from the Government helped raise funding to $ 12 million to expand the project. Known as 12 Neighbours, the project aims to build a gated community with 99 homes and an enterprise center. This innovative approach not only provides a safe and stable housing solution — it also creates job opportunities for people in the community. The homes are not just shelters. LeBrun sees himself as a community builder, so the project is meant to create a supportive environment for residents. LeBrun also aims to instill (逐渐灌输) a sense of responsibility and stability in residents by giving them the opportunity to possess their own property. This not only empowers those experiencing homelessness, but also helps foster a more supportive community. This is an awe-inspiring example of using personal success to help transform others’ lives and the community, and hopefully inspire others to contribute to society as well. 4. How did LeBrun get the initial funds to help the homeless? A. By applying to the Government. B. By selling his business. C. By founding a media company. D. By collecting money from his friends. 5. What did LeBrun see from the figures in paragraph 3? A. The responsibility to help others. B. The opportunity to be famous. C. The good situation of his country. D. The importance of making money. 6. What is the goal of 12 Neighbours? A. To produce more public property. B. To employ the homeless to work. C. To provide support for the homeless. D. To pick off the awareness of the homeless. 7. Which of the following can best describe LeBrun? A. Caring but stubborn. B. Inspiring and creative. C. Intelligent but proud. D. Courageous and sensitive. C Growing up in a small community can definitely have its disadvantages. With so few people around, your social circle is relatively limited. But it also has its advantages. Being raised in a small community often means feeling like your whole town is your family. And, you never have to set foot in a big-box store. While these types of things may seem insignificant during childhood, they can actually play a significant role in shaping how we see the world as adults. The tight-knit (关系密切的) community can build your confidence. Small towns may mean everyone knows your business, but it also means they’ll be there to support you through your success and struggles. “You don’t feel invisible, and the experience of having grown up surrounded by people who know you gives you confidence that makes you walk fearlessly as you venture out into the world,” says Bonnie McDaniel of Tucker Hill, Florida. There’s no doubt that city areas offer more to do in the traditional sense, but small - towners know that more isn’t always better. “We have less to do on paper, but we make our fun outside with fewer distractions and more creativity. There are fewer people, but that means there are more familiar faces and deeper community roots,” says Janelle Ledyard of Stillwater, New Jersey. Being closely connected with the town’s businesses might actually influence your own career choices later on. “My hometown has a strong community of small business owners,” says James Kukstis of Scituate, Massachusetts. “Being around these people so much gives me a real appreciation for the importance of local businesses, and a drive to create things myself.” In a tight-knit community, it goes without saying that everyone helps one another. And becoming warmhearted as a kid will stay with you for a lifetime. “In a small town, everyone is your neighbour,” says Weesie Thelen of Hendersonville, North Carolina. “You work together to celebrate important events and when the hard times hit, you show up with a shoulder to cry on.” 8. Which is an advantage of growing up in a small community? A. The close-knit community feeling. B. The presence of big-box stores. C. The limited social circle. D. The insignificant childhood experiences. 9. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. Small towns offer few entertainments. B. More activities are better than less. C. Less really is more. D. City areas provide various traditional activities. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards growing up in a small community? A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Pessimistic. 11. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing the text? A To share personal stories about community life. B. To criticize the limitations of small-town living. C. To persuade readers to embrace urban lifestyles. D. To state unique advantages of small-town growing up. D Glowworms (萤火虫) once lit up summer nights; people read by their soft light and they have been celebrated by everyone from William Shakespeare to Crowfoot, a 19th-century North American chief. But glowworms have had their lights dimmed by a wave of tidiness in the countryside, the loss of wild grassland and light pollution. Now hundreds of glowworms are being bred (饲养) in captivity for release in two locations this summer, in an attempt to recover the dwindling species. More than 500 glowworm larvae (幼虫) have already been set free on the grounds of The Elvetham in Hampshire, where wildflower grassland is being restored. Hundreds more larvae and some glowing adults will be released there again this summer and at Coombeshead Farm. The four-year reintroduction project is led by ecologist Derek Gow, who owns Coombeshead Farm. “Glowworms were once objects of joy,” said Gow. “Within a lifetime, people can remember parents bringing a bottle of glowworms into their bedroom. They lay in bed, watching them glow. However, we have turned their lights out.” As for some species of glowworms only the flightless female glowworms glow to attract male glowworms on summer nights. Although the males fly, the species is bad at spreading and so becomes trapped in small areas of suitable habitat. The larvae take two years to mature, which leaves them easily destroyed by increasingly intense grassland management. A study found that glowworm numbers fell markedly around artificial lighting. Not only do night lights trick the female-seeking males, but they can cause the females to dim their lights. The flightless female will also not move away from light pollution. Taran Matharu, a co-owner of The Elvetham, said he was inspired to fund the introduction after discovering the hotel could have inspired Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He contacted numerous insect breeders who told him it was impossible to breed glowworms before discovering Gow. Gow hopes that, if successful on these two sites, glowworm reintroduction can become more widespread, with community keepers and conservation groups combining in a citizen-led restoration of the species. 12. Which is a reason for the decrease in the number of glowworms? A. The disappearance of wild grassland. B. The artificial lighting during the day. C. The flightless nature of glowworms. D. The outdated grassland management. 13. What does the underlined word “dwindling” in paragraph 2 likely mean? A. Performing. B. Removing. C. Declining. D. Leaning. 14. What made Taran fund the glowworm reintroduction at The Elvetham? A. The hotel’s lack of historical significance. B. The controversial insect breeding at the hotel. C. The reduction in the number of glowworms in nature. D. The hotel’s potential connection with Shakespeare’s literature. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Mysterious World of Glowworms B. The Inspiring Journey with Glowworm Breeding C. The Challenges of Restoring Glowworm Populations D. The Efforts to Save Glowworms from the Declining Population 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。 The field of journalism may be really competitive, but it’s also important to society.

The sun was shining. The birds were chirping(吱喳叫). 7-year-old Chase Proust was filled with enormous joy. The reason for his excitement was a promise made by his father, Steven Proust, who had promised to take Chase and his sister, Abigail, on a much-awaited family picnic. The Proust family had been looking forward to this special outing for a long time. It had been a while since they had last spent a day together in the great outdoors. They began their day by packing their favorite snacks, a colorful Frisbee(飞盘), and a kite with a long tail that danced in the wind. As they set out happily from their home, they were all expecting a day full of fun, laughter, and precious family moments. Their chosen destination was a beautiful park in Jacksonville, Florida. The park was famous for its lots of green plants, bright flowers, and a ca lm lake that shined in the sunlight. They put their picnic blanket under a big oak tree that gave lots of shade, and Steven Proust quickly got lost in his favorite book. At the same time, the kids were playing close by, and their happy sounds filled the quiet area. Their day took an unexpected yet exciting turn when Abigail, Chase’s curious and adventurous sister, spotted a brightly colored butterfly. She was curious and chose to follow the butterfly. It led them on a path away from where they were having their picnic. The butterfly flew ahead and brought them to a secret area in the park, a lovely field full of wildflowers in all sorts of colors. It looked amazing, like a hidden garden from a storybook. They discovered different types of flowers they had never seen before, watched a variety of insects going about their day, and even spotted a few rabbits hopping around. The whole situation was attractive, and a magical moment that they would remember for years to come. 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。 Seeing so many beautiful flowers, Chase made a sweet and thoughtful decision. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the sun set, they went back, with Chase carefully holding the flowers for his mom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 CBCAB 6—10 BABAA 11—15 CBCAB 16—20 CBACA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年高二(下)第一次月考 英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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?

A Canadian millionaire’s homeless community project decided to tackle this problem head-on. Marcel LeBrun is an entrepreneur (企业家) and founder of a successful media monitoring company from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. After selling his company for eight figures, he allocated (分配) a substantial amount to address homelessness in his community. In 2023, data from the Human Development Council showed that in New Brunswick there has been a 25% increase in homeless individuals; 1,829 individuals experienced homelessness for at least one day; and 654 people experienced chronic homelessness, meaning that they were homeless for at least one year. Though the numbers may be far greater in bigger cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, LeBrun saw an opportunity to make a difference and improve the lives of those facing the challenges of homelessness. The millionaire’s homeless community project invested $4 million to build 99 tiny homes for people in need. Grants and support from the Government helped raise funding to $ 12 million to expand the project. Known as 12 Neighbours, the project aims to build a gated community with 99 homes and an enterprise center. This innovative approach not only provides a safe and stable housing solution — it also creates job opportunities for people in the community. The homes are not just shelters. LeBrun sees himself as a community builder, so the project is meant to create a supportive environment for residents. LeBrun also aims to instill (逐渐灌输) a sense of responsibility and stability in residents by giving them the opportunity to possess their own property. This not only empowers those experiencing homelessness, but also helps foster a more supportive community. This is an awe-inspiring example of using personal success to help transform others’ lives and the community, and hopefully inspire others to contribute to society as well. 4. How did LeBrun get the initial funds to help the homeless? A. By applying to the Government. B. By selling his business. C. By founding a media company. D. By collecting money from his friends. 5. What did LeBrun see from the figures in paragraph 3? A. The responsibility to help others. B. The opportunity to be famous. C. The good situation of his country. D. The importance of making money. 6. What is the goal of 12 Neighbours? A. To produce more public property. B. To employ the homeless to work. C To provide support for the homeless. D. To pick off the awareness of the homeless. 7. Which of the following can best describe LeBrun? A. Caring but stubborn. B. Inspiring and creative. C. Intelligent but proud. D. Courageous and sensitive. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了加拿大百万富翁马塞尔·勒布伦通过自己的努力和投资来解决社区无家可归者问题的事迹。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“After selling his company for eight figures, he allocated (分配) a substantial amount to address homelessness in his community. (在以八位数的价格出售了他的公司后，他分配了一大笔钱来解决他所在社区的无家可归问题。)”可知，LeBrun通过出售自己的公司获得了帮助无家可归者的初始资金。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In 2023, data from the Human Development Council showed that in New Brunswick there has been a 25% increase in homeless individuals; 1,829 individuals experienced homelessness for at least one day; and 654 people experienced chronic homelessness, meaning that they were homeless for at least one year. Though the numbers may be far greater in bigger cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, LeBrun saw an opportunity to make a difference and improve the lives of those facing the challenges of homelessness. (2023年，来自人类发展委员会的数据显示，在New Brunswick，无家可归的人增加了25%；1829人无家可归至少一天；654人经历了长期无家可归，这意味着他们无家可归至少一年。尽管在旧金山、洛杉矶和纽约等大城市，这些数字可能要大得多，但勒布伦看到了一个改变现状、改善那些面临无家可归挑战的人的生活的机会。)”可知，LeBrun从这些数字中看到了帮助他人的责任。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Known as 12 Neighbours, the project aims to build a gated community with 99 homes and an enterprise center. This innovative approach not only provides a safe and stable housing solution—it also creates job opportunities for people in the community. (这个被称为12Neighbours 的项目旨在建造一个有99个家庭和一个企业中心的封闭式社区。这种创新的方法不仅提供了一个安全稳定的住房解决方案，还为社区的人们创造了就业机会。)”可知，12 Neighbours的目标是为无家可归者提供支持。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This is an awe-inspiring example of using personal success to help transform others' lives and the community, and hopefully inspire others to contribute to society as well. (这是一个令人敬畏的例子，说明了如何利用个人的成功来帮助改变他人和社区的生活，希望能激励其他人也为社会做出贡献。)”可知，LeBrun的行为是鼓舞人心的；再结合第五段“Known as 12 Neighbours, the project aims to build a gated community with 99 homes and an enterprise center. (该这个被称为12Neighbours 的项目旨在建造一个有99个家庭和一个企业中心的封闭式社区。)”可知，LeBrun通过创新的方式解决无家可归者的问题，可以看出，他的方法是具有创造性的。故选B项。 C Growing up in a small community can definitely have its disadvantages. With so few people around, your social circle is relatively limited. But it also has its advantages. Being raised in a small community often means feeling like your whole town is your family. And, you never have to set foot in a big-box store. While these types of things may seem insignificant during childhood, they can actually play a significant role in shaping how we see the world as adults. The tight-knit (关系密切的) community can build your confidence. Small towns may mean everyone knows your business, but it also means they’ll be there to support you through your success and struggles. “You don’t feel invisible, and the experience of having grown up surrounded by people who know you gives you confidence that makes you walk fearlessly as you venture out into the world,” says Bonnie McDaniel of Tucker Hill, Florida. There’s no doubt that city areas offer more to do in the traditional sense, but small - towners know that more isn’t always better. “We have less to do on paper, but we make our fun outside with fewer distractions and more creativity. There are fewer people, but that means there are more familiar faces and deeper community roots,” says Janelle Ledyard of Stillwater, New Jersey. Being closely connected with the town’s businesses might actually influence your own career choices later on. “My hometown has a strong community of small business owners,” says James Kukstis of Scituate, Massachusetts. “Being around these people so much gives me a real appreciation for the importance of local businesses, and a drive to create things myself.” In a tight-knit community, it goes without saying that everyone helps one another. And becoming warmhearted as a kid will stay with you for a lifetime. “In a small town, everyone is your neighbour,” says Weesie Thelen of Hendersonville, North Carolina. “You work together to celebrate important events and when the hard times hit, you show up with a shoulder to cry on.” 8. Which is an advantage of growing up in a small community? A. The close-knit community feeling. B The presence of big-box stores. C. The limited social circle. D. The insignificant childhood experiences. 9. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. Small towns offer few entertainments. B. More activities are better than less. C. Less really is more. D. City areas provide various traditional activities. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards growing up in a small community? A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Pessimistic. 11. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing the text? A. To share personal stories about community life. B. To criticize the limitations of small-town living. C. To persuade readers to embrace urban lifestyles. D. To state unique advantages of small-town growing up. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文，主要讨论了在小社区长大的优势。尽管小社区的社交圈子相对较小，但它们也带来了紧密的社区联系、增强的自信心、较少的干扰和更深的社区根源，以及对本地商业的欣赏和帮助他人的温暖心态。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“But it also has its advantages. Being raised in a small community often means feeling like your whole town is your family. (但它也有它的优势。在一个小社区长大的人往往觉得整个镇就像你的家人一样。)”可知，在小社区长大的一个优势是紧密的社区归属感。故选A项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第三段“We have less to do on paper, but we make our fun outside with fewer distractions and more creativity. There are fewer people, but that means there are more familiar faces and deeper community roots (表面上看，我们能做的事情更少，但我们在外面的娱乐活动却因为更少的干扰和更多的创造力而变得有趣。人少了，但这也意味着会有更多熟悉的面孔和更深的社区根基)”可知，本段主要通过对比，强调了在小城镇中，尽管表面上可做的活动不多，但实际上这种简单生活促进了更多的创造力和深厚社区联系，即“少即是多”。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The tight-knit community can build your confidence. (紧密的社区可以建立你的自信。)”、第三段“Small - towners know that more isn’t always better (小城镇居民知道，多并不总是更好)”、第四段“Being closely connected with the town’s businesses might actually influence your own career choices later on. (与城镇的商业紧密相连可能会影响你后来的职业选择。)”以及第五段“In a tight-knit community, it goes without saying that everyone helps one another. (在一个紧密团结的社区中，不言而喻，每个人都相互帮助。)”可知，作者在文章中既提到了在小社区长大的劣势，也详细阐述了其独特的优势，比如紧密的社区情感、对个人成长的积极影响等，没有表现出怀疑、冷漠或悲观的态度，而是以一种客观公正的方式呈现信息。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Being raised in a small community often means feeling like your whole town is your family. (在一个小社区长大往往意味着感觉整个城镇就像你的家庭一样。)”、第二段“You don’t feel invisible, and the experience of having grown up surrounded by people who know you gives you confidence that makes you walk fearlessly as you venture out into the world (你不觉得自己是隐形的，周围有人认识你的成长经历给了你信心，让你无所畏惧地踏入世界)”以及第五段“In a small town, everyone is your neighbor (在小城镇，每个人都是你的邻居)”以及“You work together to celebrate important events and when the hard times hit, you show up with a shoulder to cry on. (你们一起庆祝重要事件，困难时刻来临时，你会出现给予肩膀让人哭泣。)”可知，文章开篇提到在小社区长大既有缺点也有优点，随后主体部分具体阐述了小城镇成长的独特优势，包括紧密的社区情感、自信的建立、对简单生活的欣赏及对事业的影响、以及相互帮助的温暖氛围。因此，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是为了陈述在小城镇长大的独特优势。故选D项。 D Glowworms (萤火虫) once lit up summer nights; people read by their soft light and they have been celebrated by everyone from William Shakespeare to Crowfoot, a 19th-century North American chief. But glowworms have had their lights dimmed by a wave of tidiness in the countryside, the loss of wild grassland and light pollution. Now hundreds of glowworms are being bred (饲养) in captivity for release in two locations this summer, in an attempt to recover the dwindling species. More than 500 glowworm larvae (幼虫) have already been set free on the grounds of The Elvetham in Hampshire, where wildflower grassland is being restored. Hundreds more larvae and some glowing adults will be released there again this summer and at Coombeshead Farm. The four-year reintroduction project is led by ecologist Derek Gow, who owns Coombeshead Farm. “Glowworms were once objects of joy,” said Gow. “Within a lifetime, people can remember parents bringing a bottle of glowworms into their bedroom. They lay in bed, watching them glow. However, we have turned their lights out.” As for some species of glowworms, only the flightless female glowworms glow to attract male glowworms on summer nights. Although the males fly, the species is bad at spreading and so becomes trapped in small areas of suitable habitat. The larvae take two years to mature, which leaves them easily destroyed by increasingly intense grassland management. A study found that glowworm numbers fell markedly around artificial lighting. Not only do night lights trick the female-seeking males, but they can cause the females to dim their lights. The flightless female will also not move away from light pollution. Taran Matharu, a co-owner of The Elvetham, said he was inspired to fund the introduction after discovering the hotel could have inspired Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He contacted numerous insect breeders who told him it was impossible to breed glowworms before discovering Gow. Gow hopes that, if successful on these two sites, glowworm reintroduction can become more widespread, with community keepers and conservation groups combining in a citizen-led restoration of the species. 12. Which is a reason for the decrease in the number of glowworms? A. The disappearance of wild grassland. B. The artificial lighting during the day. C. The flightless nature of glowworms. D. The outdated grassland management. 13. What does the underlined word “dwindling” in paragraph 2 likely mean? A. Performing. B. Removing. C. Declining. D. Leaning. 14. What made Taran fund the glowworm reintroduction at The Elvetham? A. The hotel’s lack of historical significance. B. The controversial insect breeding at the hotel. C. The reduction in the number of glowworms in nature. D. The hotel’s potential connection with Shakespeare’s literature. 15 What can be the best title for the text? A. The Mysterious World of Glowworms B. The Inspiring Journey with Glowworm Breeding C. The Challenges of Restoring Glowworm Populations D. The Efforts to Save Glowworms from the Declining Population 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文体裁是说明文。文章大意是讲述了萤火虫曾经照亮夏日夜晚的景象，但由于乡村整洁、野生草地的消失和光污染等原因，萤火虫的数量正在减少。为了恢复这一物种，人们正在饲养萤火虫并将其释放到野外。文章还介绍了萤火虫的生活习性和繁殖方式，并提到了一个关于萤火虫的研究项目，该项目旨在通过社区和保护组织的共同努力来恢复萤火虫数量。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But glowworms have had their lights dimmed by a wave of tidiness in the countryside, the loss of wild grassland and light pollution.(但是萤火虫的光亮因为乡村的一波整洁浪潮、野生草地的消失和光污染而变得暗淡)”可知，野生草地的消失是萤火虫数量减少的一个原因。故选A项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Now hundreds of glowworms are being bred (饲养) in captivity for release in two locations this summer, in an attempt to recover the… species(现在，为了恢复……的物种，数百只萤火虫正在被圈养繁殖，计划在今年夏天在两个地点放生)”可推知，dwindling指的是数量或状况的下降，与选项C“Declining(衰退的)”意思接近。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Taran Matharu, a co-owner of The Elvetham, said he was inspired to fund the introduction after discovering the hotel could have inspired Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.(艾尔弗瑟姆酒店的共同所有者塔兰·马特哈里说，他在发现这家酒店可能启发了莎士比亚的《仲夏夜之梦》后，受到启发资助了萤火虫的引入)”可推知，塔兰资助萤火虫引入的原因是酒店与莎士比亚文学作品的潜在联系。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But glowworms have had their lights dimmed by a wave of tidiness in the countryside, the loss of wild grassland and light pollution.(但是萤火虫的光亮因为乡村的一波整洁浪潮、野生草地的消失和光污染而变得暗淡)”、第二段“Now hundreds of glowworms are being bred (饲养) in captivity for release in two locations this summer, in an attempt to recover the dwindling species.(现在，数百只萤火虫被人工饲养，并将于今年夏天在两个地方放生，以试图恢复日益减少的物种)”、倒数第二段“Taran Matharu, a co-owner of The Elvetham, said he was inspired to fund the introduction after discovering the hotel could have inspired Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.(艾尔弗瑟姆酒店的共同所有者塔兰·马特哈里说，他在发现这家酒店可能启发了莎士比亚的《仲夏夜之梦》后，受到启发资助了萤火虫的引入)”可知，文章主要讲述了萤火虫数量减少的问题，以及人们为了恢复这一物种所做的努力，包括在两个地点放生萤火虫，以及希望未来能有更多的社区和保护团体参与进来。由此可知，The Efforts to Save Glowworms from the Declining Population(拯救数量减少的萤火虫的努力)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D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。 The field of journalism may be really competitive, but it’s also important to society.

The sun was shining. The birds were chirping(吱喳叫). 7-year-old Chase Proust was filled with enormous joy. The reason for his excitement was a promise made by his father, Steven Proust, who had promised to take Chase and his sister, Abigail, on a much-awaited family picnic. The Proust family had been looking forward to this special outing for a long time. It had been a while since they had last spent a day together in the great outdoors. They began their day by packing their favorite snacks, a colorful Frisbee(飞盘), and a kite with a long tail that danced in the wind. As they set out happily from their home, they were all expecting a day full of fun, laughter, and precious family moments. Their chosen destination was a beautiful park in Jacksonville, Florida. The park was famous for its lots of green plants, bright flowers, and a ca lm lake that shined in the sunlight. They put their picnic blanket under a big oak tree that gave lots of shade, and Steven Proust quickly got lost in his favorite book. At the same time, the kids were playing close by, and their happy sounds filled the quiet area. Their day took an unexpected yet exciting turn when Abigail, Chase’s curious and adventurous sister, spotted a brightly colored butterfly. She was curious and chose to follow the butterfly. It led them on a path away from where they were having their picnic. The butterfly flew ahead and brought them to a secret area in the park, a lovely field full of wildflowers in all sorts of colors. It looked amazing, like a hidden garden from a storybook. They discovered different types of flowers they had never seen before, watched a variety of insects going about their day, and even spotted a few rabbits hopping around. The whole situation was attractive, and a magical moment that they would remember for years to come. 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。 Seeing so many beautiful flowers, Chase made a sweet and thoughtful decision. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the sun set, they went back, with Chase carefully holding the flowers for his mom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Seeing so many beautiful flowers, Chase made a sweet and thoughtful decision. He decided to gather some pretty flowers from the field to create a flower bunch for his mom, who couldn’t come with them due to work. He carefully picked the best flowers, making sure each one was just right. His hard work was worth it when he had a beautiful, sweet-smelling bunch of flowers ready, with the brightest ones from the field. Chase wanted to bring joy to his mom, because she really liked flowers. As the sun set, they went back, with Chase carefully holding the flowers for his mom. They walked back through the park, their hearts full of the day’s adventures. Once home, Chase gave the flowers to his mom, who was moved by the gesture. Her eyes lit up with happiness and she hugged him tightly, thanking him for such a beautiful surprise. The day ended with the family sharing stories of their picnic over a cozy dinner, feeling closer than ever and already planning their next outing together. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了普罗斯特一家去公园野餐时的愉快经历，以及孩子们在公园的意外发现和哥哥蔡斯为妈妈准备花束的温馨故事。 【详解】段落续写： 由第一段首句“看到这么多美丽的花，蔡斯做了一个甜蜜而深思熟虑的决定。”可知，第一段可描写蔡斯决定为妈妈采花。 由第二段首句“太阳落山时，他们回去了，蔡斯小心地为妈妈拿着花。”可知，第二段可描写蔡斯把花送给妈妈，一家人分享这天的经历。 续写线索：决定采花——精心挑选——捧着花回家——妈妈感动——分享故事 词汇激活 行为类 决定：decide/determine 拥抱：embrace/ wrap one's arms around/hug 计划：plan/schedule 情绪类 感动：be touched/be moved 快乐：happiness/delight/joy 【点睛】[高分句型 1] He decided to gather some pretty flowers from the field to create a flower bunch for his mom, who couldn’t come with them due to work. （使用了以mom为先行词、以who为引导词的定语从句） [高分句型 2] Her eyes lit up with happiness and she hugged him tightly, thanking him for such a beautiful surprise.（使用了现在分词短语作状语） 1—5 CBCAB 6—10 BABAA 11—15 CBCAB 16—20 CBACA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
