B French artist and photographer Augustin Lignier has taught a pair of rats to take selfies (自拍). The creatures’ photographic training was part of an art project commenting on social media use in the modern world. There are 56 known species of rats, which live on every continent except Antarctica. They are intelligent and adaptable, and can learn to complete many different tasks. Partly for these reasons, rats are often used in scientific and medical research. For his project, Lignier took inspiration from B. F. Skinner, a famous psychologist (someone who studies the mind and behavior). Skinner was known for conducting behavior research with animals such as rats and pigeons. He developed a device called an operant (可操作的) conditioning chamber(also called a Skinner box). This box features a bar or lever that can provide a reward, such as food, to animals when they press it. Lignier bought two rats from a pet store and named them Augustin and Arthur, after himself and his brother. He placed them in a tall, transparent (透明的) tower similar to a Skinner box with a camera attached to it. When a rat pressed a button inside the tower, the camera took a picture of the rat and the animal received a bit of sugar as a reward. Each photo was immediately displayed on a screen in front of the rats, “but honestly I don’t think they understood it,” Lignier told The New York Times. Then Lignier changed the device setup so it would not always release sugar on command, instead providing the reward only occasionally. Still, the rats kept pressing the button, and the camera kept snapping pictures. Sometimes the rats received sugar but ignored it to keep pushing the button. Lignier said this was because the excitement of pressing the button had become its own sort of reward. “Every time they push the button, they have pleasure inside their brain,” he told CBC Radio. Lignier said he designed the project to represent the way social media platforms encourage people to keep posting by providing unpredictable rewards such as comments, likes, and attention. As for Augustin and Arthur, Lignier said, “They’re really like performers, you know?” 4. Why did Augustin Lignier teach rats to take selfies? A. To show the wisdom of the rats. B. To do research on animal behavior. C. To make money by selling the photos. D. To carry out a project. 5. What did Lignier base his project on? A. A famous psychologist’s research. B. His own experience with rats. C. The behavior of pigeons. D. The design of a Skinner box. 6. Why did the rats keep pressing the button even when they didn’t get a reward? A. They wanted more sugar. B. They enjoyed taking pictures. C. They liked the attention they received. D. They took pleasure in pressing the button. 7. Which of the following can best describe Lignier? A. Patient. B. Honest. C. Creative. D. Responsible. C The eyes are more than a window to the soul—they’re also a reflection of a person’s cognitive (认知的) health. Research has been exploring how the eyes may help in diagnosing (诊断) Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms (症状) begin. “Alzheimer’s disease begins in the brain decades before the first symptoms of memory loss,” said Dr. Richard Isaacson, an Alzheimer’s preventive neurologist at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases. If doctors are able to identify the disease in its earliest stages, people could then make healthy lifestyle choices and control their “risk factors, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes,” Isaacson said. Then how early can we see signs of cognitive decline? To find it out, a recent study examined donated tissue from the retina (视网膜) and brains of 86 people with different degrees of mental decline. “Our study is the first to provide in-depth analyses of the protein profiles and the molecular, cellular, and structural effects of Alzheimer’s disease in the human retina and how they correspond with changes in the brain and cognitive function,” said senior author Maya Koronyo-Hamaoui, a professor of neurosurgery and biomedical sciences at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. Researchers in the study collected retinal and brain tissue samples over 14 years from 86 human donors with Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive damage—the largest group of retinal samples ever studied, according to the authors. Researchers then compared samples from donors with normal cognitive function to those with mild cognitive damage and those with later-stage Alzheimer’s disease. The study, published in February in the journal Acta Neuropathologica, found significant increases in beta-amyloid, a key marker of Alzheimer’s disease, in people with both Alzheimer’s and early cognitive decline. “These findings may eventually lead to the development of imaging techniques that allow us to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease earlier and more accurately,” Isaacson said, “and monitor its progression by looking through the eyes.” 8. What can eyes help do according to the recent study? A. Convey people’s feelings. B. Show people’s lifestyle choices. C. Indicate people’s physical decline. D. Reflect people’s cognitive function changes. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The reason for the study. B. The process of the study. C. The plan for the study. D. The method of the study. 10. How was the study conducted? A. By conducting a detailed survey about human retina. B. By asking and answering questions about the changes in the brain. C. By making a comparison between samples from different donors. D. By keeping track of participants to collect their data within a decade. 11 What do Isaacson’s words imply in the last paragraph? A. Alzheimer’s disease can be cured by reducing risk factors. B. Scientists have developed imaging techniques to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. C. Alzheimer’s disease begins in the brain years after the first symptoms of memory loss. D. Alzheimer’s disease can be spotted before symptoms start by examining the eyes. D If you happen to be in Hollywood and see a car go by with no driver at the wheel, don’t be alarmed. After more than a year of testing, around 50 driverless robotaxis are debuting (首次亮相) to the public across Los Angeles on Thursday. The autonomous vehicles are run by Waymo, which is owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet. Waymo started giving driverless rides to passengers in San Francisco last year and also operates them in Phoenix. In the coming weeks, Waymo will change to a paid service. The Southern California debut comes as controversy and mistakes have troubled self-driving cars in San Francisco. Both Waymo and its competitor Cruise, which is owned by GM, have been blamed for running red lights, blocking public buses and getting in the way of emergency responders. Cruise was involved in an incident that left a pedestrian (行人) severely injured in October — causing the company to stop operations and lose its operating permit in the state. It hasn’t necessarily been a smooth ride for Waymo in Los Angeles. In the run-up to its debut in the city, there have been complaints by Los Angeles’s mayor Karen Bass and protests by local residents. “Autonomous vehicles like the ones that Waymo wants to launch in our communities, have been causing chaos wherever they go.” Yvonne Wheeler, president of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor said. “It’s clear that this technology is not ready to be introduced into our roads and our cities.” However, both Cruise and Waymo say their vehicles are safer than human drivers and that they’ve had relatively few incidents. “Once an unimaginable future, autonomous driving is now a real-world way of getting around for tens of thousands of people each week,” said Tekedra Mawakana, co-CEO of Waymo. He also mentioned that Waymo is already setting its sights on its next robotaxi debut. It says it plans to start offering rides in Austin, Texas, later this year. 12. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To introduce a topic. B. To explain a phenomenon. C. To share an experience. D. To state an opinion. 13. What does the underlined word “controversy” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Praise. B. Alternative. C. Priority. D. Argument. 14. What’s Yvonne Wheeler’s attitude towards autonomous vehicles run by Waymo? A. Negative. B. Favorable. C. Unconcerned. D. Uncertain. 15. What is the best title of this text? A. Waymo’s robotaxi service set to expand into Los Angeles B. Cruise and Waymo made the Hollywood imagination come true C. Waymo’s robotaxi service removed public concern across Los Angeles D. Cruise and Waymo ensured the safety of robotaxi despite controversy 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。 Have you been feeling stuck lately?

So when he passed away suddenly from a stroke at the age of 51, my world fell apart. I was lost, along with my mother who had been with my father since age 16, two brothers, and everyone who knew him. We were thrown into a thick haze of anger, sadness, and shock. I cried every night and tried to hold onto all my memories of him. I replayed every moment I could remember — jotting down thoughts, printing out old e-mails, reading old birthday cards — anything I could hang on to because I didn’t want to forget. As I was going through all these old memories, I began to wonder about all the things I had missed. My dad was a quiet man who was known for his listening skills, his patience and his smile. He was often the one listening instead of telling stories. I wanted to know what stories I had missed by losing him so soon. So I decided to compile (汇编) a memory book as a surprise Christmas gift for my mom and brothers. I started my project in November, contacting everyone I knew who was close to my dad. I sent e-mails and letters asking for friends to send me their thoughts and memories of him. I asked them specifically to share funny stories about my dad and the stories that maybe no one had ever heard. I told them to respond no later than one week prior to Christmas. 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。 Before long, the responses started pouring in. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I gave it to my family as a gift on Christmas Day. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 无锡市普通高中2024年春学期高二期终调研考试试题 英 语 2024.06 命题单位：无锡市教育科学研究院 制卷单位：宜兴市教师发展中心 注意事项及说明： 1.试卷共150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答案一律写在答题卡上。考试结束时，上交答题卡。 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。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.

Lignier said this was because the excitement of pressing the button had become its own sort of reward. “Every time they push the button, they have pleasure inside their brain,” he told CBC Radio. Lignier said he designed the project to represent the way social media platforms encourage people to keep posting by providing unpredictable rewards such as comments, likes, and attention. As for Augustin and Arthur, Lignier said, “They’re really like performers, you know?” 4. Why did Augustin Lignier teach rats to take selfies? A. To show the wisdom of the rats. B. To do research on animal behavior. C. To make money by selling the photos. D. To carry out a project. 5. What did Lignier base his project on? A. A famous psychologist’s research. B. His own experience with rats. C. The behavior of pigeons. D. The design of a Skinner box. 6. Why did the rats keep pressing the button even when they didn’t get a reward? A. They wanted more sugar. B. They enjoyed taking pictures. C. They liked the attention they received. D. They took pleasure in pressing the button. 7. Which of the following can best describe Lignier? A. Patient. B. Honest. C. Creative. D. Responsible. 【答案】4 D 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述法国艺术家兼摄影师Augustin Lignier教一对老鼠自拍来研究现代社会社交媒体使用的艺术。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“French artist and photographer Augustin Lignier has taught a pair of rats to take selfies (自拍). The creatures’ photographic training was part of an art project commenting on social media use in the modern world.(法国艺术家兼摄影师Augustin Lignier教一对老鼠自拍。这些生物的摄影训练是一个评论现代社会社交媒体使用的艺术项目的一部分。)”可知，Augustin Lignier教老鼠自拍是为了来进行一个项目。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“For his project, Lignier took inspiration from B. F. Skinner, a famous psychologist (someone who studies the mind and behavior). Skinner was known for conducting behavior research with animals such as rats and pigeons.(在他的项目中，Lignier从著名心理学家B.F.Skinner（研究思想和行为的人）那里获得了灵感。Skinner以对老鼠和鸽子等动物进行行为研究而闻名。)”可知，Lignier的项目是以一位著名心理学家的研究为基础的。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段“Sometimes the rats received sugar but ignored it to keep pushing the button. Lignier said this was because the excitement of pressing the button had become its own sort of reward.(有时老鼠会接受糖，但有时为了不停地按下按钮而忽略了它。Lignier说，这是因为按下按钮的兴奋感已经成为了它自己的一种奖励。)”可知，它们以按下按钮为乐。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段中“Then Lignier changed the device setup(然后，Lignier改变了装置的设置)”和最后一段“Lignier said he designed the project to represent the way social media platforms encourage people to keep posting by providing unpredictable rewards such as comments, likes, and attention.(Lignier说，他设计这个项目是为了代表社交媒体平台通过提供评论、点赞和关注等不可预测的奖励来鼓励人们继续发帖的方式。)”以及上文可知，文章讲述法国艺术家兼摄影师Augustin Lignier教一对老鼠自拍来研究现代社会社交媒体使用的艺术，所以 Lignier非常具有创造力。故选C项。 C The eyes are more than a window to the soul—they’re also a reflection of a person’s cognitive (认知的) health. Research has been exploring how the eyes may help in diagnosing (诊断) Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms (症状) begin. “Alzheimer’s disease begins in the brain decades before the first symptoms of memory loss,” said Dr. Richard Isaacson, an Alzheimer’s preventive neurologist at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases. If doctors are able to identify the disease in its earliest stages, people could then make healthy lifestyle choices and control their “risk factors, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes,” Isaacson said. Then how early can we see signs of cognitive decline? To find it out, a recent study examined donated tissue from the retina (视网膜) and brains of 86 people with different degrees of mental decline. “Our study is the first to provide in-depth analyses of the protein profiles and the molecular, cellular, and structural effects of Alzheimer’s disease in the human retina and how they correspond with changes in the brain and cognitive function,” said senior author Maya Koronyo-Hamaoui, a professor of neurosurgery and biomedical sciences at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. Researchers in the study collected retinal and brain tissue samples over 14 years from 86 human donors with Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive damage—the largest group of retinal samples ever studied, according to the authors. Researchers then compared samples from donors with normal cognitive function to those with mild cognitive damage and those with later-stage Alzheimer’s disease. The study published in February in the journal Acta Neuropathologica, found significant increases in beta-amyloid, a key marker of Alzheimer’s disease, in people with both Alzheimer’s and early cognitive decline. “These findings may eventually lead to the development of imaging techniques that allow us to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease earlier and more accurately,” Isaacson said, “and monitor its progression by looking through the eyes.” 8. What can eyes help do according to the recent study? A. Convey people’s feelings. B. Show people’s lifestyle choices. C. Indicate people’s physical decline. D. Reflect people’s cognitive function changes. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The reason for the study. B. The process of the study. C. The plan for the study. D. The method of the study. 10. How was the study conducted? A. By conducting a detailed survey about human retina. B. By asking and answering questions about the changes in the brain. C. By making a comparison between samples from different donors. D. By keeping track of participants to collect their data within a decade. 11. What do Isaacson’s words imply in the last paragraph? A. Alzheimer’s disease can be cured by reducing risk factors. B. Scientists have developed imaging techniques to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. C. Alzheimer’s disease begins in the brain years after the first symptoms of memory loss. D. Alzheimer’s disease can be spotted before symptoms start by examining the eyes. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了关于阿尔茨海默病的最新研究进展，特别是如何通过研究眼睛来早期诊断这一疾病。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The eyes are more than a window to the soul—they’re also a reflection of a person’s cognitive (认知的) health. Research has been exploring how the eyes may help in diagnosing (诊断) Alzheimer’s disease before symptoms (症状) begin.(眼睛不仅是心灵的窗口，还能反映一个人的认知健康状况。研究一直在探索眼睛如何在症状出现之前帮助诊断阿尔茨海默病)”可知，根据最近的研究，眼睛能反映人的认知功能变化。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段““Alzheimer’s disease begins in the brain decades before the first symptoms of memory loss,” said Dr. Richard Isaacson, an Alzheimer’s preventive neurologist at the Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases. If doctors are able to identify the disease in its earliest stages, people could then make healthy lifestyle choices and control their “risk factors, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes,” Isaacson said.(神经退行性疾病研究所的阿尔茨海默病预防神经学家理查德·艾萨克森博士说：“阿尔茨海默病在出现记忆丧失症状之前几十年就开始在大脑中出现了。”艾萨克森说，如果医生能够在早期阶段识别出这种疾病，人们就可以选择健康的生活方式，控制他们的“风险因素，如高血压、高胆固醇和糖尿病”)”可知，本段主要介绍了阿尔茨海默症的研究原因，即在症状出现之前诊断该疾病，帮助人们做出健康的生活方式选择并控制风险因素。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Researchers in the study collected retinal and brain tissue samples over 14 years from 86 human donors with Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive damage—the largest group of retinal samples ever studied, according to the authors. Researchers then compared samples from donors with normal cognitive function to those with mild cognitive damage and those with later-stage Alzheimer’s disease.(研究人员在14年的时间里从86名患有阿尔茨海默病和轻度认知损伤的人类捐赠者身上收集了视网膜和脑组织样本——据作者说，这是迄今为止研究过的最大的视网膜样本组。然后，研究人员将正常认知功能捐赠者的样本与轻度认知损伤患者和老年痴呆症晚期患者的样本进行了比较)”可知，研究人员比较了来自不同捐赠者的样本，这些捐赠者分别具有正常的认知功能、轻度认知损伤和晚期阿尔茨海默病。因此，研究是通过比较不同捐赠者的样本来进行的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““These findings may eventually lead to the development of imaging techniques that allow us to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease earlier and more accurately,” Isaacson said, “and monitor its progression by looking through the eyes.”(“这些发现可能最终导致成像技术的发展，使我们能够更早、更准确地诊断阿尔茨海默病，”艾萨克森说，“并通过眼睛观察来监测其进展。”)”可知，艾萨克森的话暗示了通过研究眼睛，我们可以在症状出现之前发现阿尔茨海默病。故选D项。 D If you happen to be in Hollywood and see a car go by with no driver at the wheel, don’t be alarmed. After more than a year of testing, around 50 driverless robotaxis are debuting (首次亮相) to the public across Los Angeles on Thursday. The autonomous vehicles are run by Waymo, which is owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet. Waymo started giving driverless rides to passengers in San Francisco last year and also operates them in Phoenix. In the coming weeks, Waymo will change to a paid service. The Southern California debut comes as controversy and mistakes have troubled self-driving cars in San Francisco. Both Waymo and its competitor Cruise, which is owned by GM, have been blamed for running red lights, blocking public buses and getting in the way of emergency responders. Cruise was involved in an incident that left a pedestrian (行人) severely injured in October — causing the company to stop operations and lose its operating permit in the state. It hasn’t necessarily been a smooth ride for Waymo in Los Angeles. In the run-up to its debut in the city, there have been complaints by Los Angeles’s mayor Karen Bass and protests by local residents. “Autonomous vehicles like the ones that Waymo wants to launch in our communities, have been causing chaos wherever they go.” Yvonne Wheeler, president of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor said. “It’s clear that this technology is not ready to be introduced into our roads and our cities.” However, both Cruise and Waymo say their vehicles are safer than human drivers and that they’ve had relatively few incidents. “Once an unimaginable future, autonomous driving is now a real-world way of getting around for tens of thousands of people each week,” said Tekedra Mawakana, co-CEO of Waymo. He also mentioned that Waymo is already setting its sights on its next robotaxi debut. It says it plans to start offering rides in Austin, Texas, later this year. 12. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To introduce a topic. B. To explain a phenomenon. C. To share an experience. D. To state an opinion. 13. What does the underlined word “controversy” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Praise. B. Alternative. C. Priority. D. Argument. 14. What’s Yvonne Wheeler’s attitude towards autonomous vehicles run by Waymo? A. Negative. B. Favorable. C. Unconcerned. D. Uncertain. 15. What is the best title of this text? A Waymo’s robotaxi service set to expand into Los Angeles B. Cruise and Waymo made the Hollywood imagination come true C. Waymo’s robotaxi service removed public concern across Los Angeles D. Cruise and Waymo ensured the safety of robotaxi despite controversy 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了关于Waymo无人驾驶出租车服务在洛杉矶首次亮相及其未来扩展计划的最新消息。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you happen to be in Hollywood and see a car go by with no driver at the wheel, don’t be alarmed. After more than a year of testing, around 50 driverless robotaxis are debuting (首次亮相) to the public across Los Angeles on Thursday.(如果你碰巧在好莱坞看到一辆没有司机的车开过，不要惊慌。经过一年多的测试，大约50辆无人驾驶机器人出租车将于周四在洛杉矶向公众首次亮相)”可知，本段的功能是引出主题，介绍无人驾驶汽车的首次亮相。故选A项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“Both Waymo and its competitor Cruise, which is owned by GM, have been blamed for running red lights, blocking public buses and getting in the way of emergency responders.(Waymo和它的竞争对手、通用汽车旗下的Cruise都因闯红灯、阻塞公交车和妨碍紧急救援人员而受到指责)”可知，无人驾驶出租车引起了各种问题，所以造成了争议和错误，推知controversy意为“争议”，和D项意思相近。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““Autonomous vehicles like the ones that Waymo wants to launch in our communities, have been causing chaos wherever they go.” Yvonne Wheeler, president of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor said. “It’s clear that this technology is not ready to be introduced into our roads and our cities.”(“像Waymo想要在我们社区推出的自动驾驶汽车，无论走到哪里，都会造成混乱。”洛杉矶县劳工联合会主席伊冯·惠勒说。“很明显，这项技术还没有准备好应用到我们的道路和城市中。”)”可知，Yvonne Wheeler表示这项技术还没有准备好应用到我们的道路和城市中，所以是消极的态度。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you happen to be in Hollywood and see a car go by with no driver at the wheel, don’t be alarmed. After more than a year of testing, around 50 driverless robotaxis are debuting (首次亮相) to the public across Los Angeles on Thursday.(如果你碰巧在好莱坞看到一辆没有司机的车开过，不要惊慌。经过一年多的测试，大约50辆无人驾驶机器人出租车将于周四在洛杉矶向公众首次亮相)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要介绍了关于Waymo无人驾驶出租车服务在洛杉矶首次亮相，所以A项“Waymo’s robotaxi service set to expand into Los Angeles(Waymo的自动驾驶出租车服务将扩展到洛杉矶)”是本文最好的标题。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。 Have you been feeling stuck lately?

So when he passed away suddenly from a stroke at the age of 51, my world fell apart. I was lost, along with my mother who had been with my father since age 16, two brothers, and everyone who knew him. We were thrown into a thick haze of anger, sadness, and shock. I cried every night and tried to hold onto all my memories of him. I replayed every moment I could remember — jotting down thoughts, printing out old e-mails, reading old birthday cards — anything I could hang on to because I didn’t want to forget. As I was going through all these old memories, I began to wonder about all the things I had missed. My dad was a quiet man who was known for his listening skills, his patience and his smile. He was often the one listening instead of telling stories. I wanted to know what stories I had missed by losing him so soon. So I decided to compile (汇编) a memory book as a surprise Christmas gift for my mom and brothers. I started my project in November, contacting everyone I knew who was close to my dad. I sent e-mails and letters asking for friends to send me their thoughts and memories of him. I asked them specifically to share funny stories about my dad and the stories that maybe no one had ever heard. I told them to respond no later than one week prior to Christmas. 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。 Before long, the responses started pouring in. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I gave it to my family as a gift on Christmas Day. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Before long, the responses started pouring in. About one week before Christmas, I began to receive handwritten letters, old photographs, and e-mails by the dozens. Almost all the stories and memories were new to me. They were stories about my dad playing poker until 4 a.m. in high school, about pranks he pulled with his college roommates, about his first job after college, about how he met my mom and their life together, and stories involving his love for his family and friends. Every story was a precious gift. I gave it to my family as a gift on Christmas Day. My mom was speechless, bawling her eyes out while looking at the thickness of the book. My brothers just stood up and hugged me without saying a word. My mom and brothers were both moved beyond words and it took them hours to go through the book. This book was more than just a book of memories. It was a healing process. I felt happier knowing that he had led a great life and touched so many people. I am so proud to have him as my father. Now whenever I am sad or missing him, I pick up the book. I know that he is looking down, reading it too, and hopefully laughing and smiling along with me. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者父亲的去世对家庭带来的巨大冲击。作者因为无法忘记父亲，决定整理父亲生前的记忆，并编纂成一本记忆册作为圣诞礼物送给母亲和兄弟。于是，作者联系父亲的朋友和家人收集回忆。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“没过多久，回复开始蜂拥而至。”可知，第一段可描写作者收到的回复里面的主要内容。 ②由第二段首句内容“我在圣诞节那天把它作为礼物送给了家人。”可知，第二段可描写家人看到这份礼物的反应以及作者的感受。 2. 续写线索：收到大量回复——回复涉及的方面——收集整理——家人看到记忆册的反应——作者的感受 3. 词汇激活 行类 ①遇到：meet/encounter ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③了解：know/learn about 情绪类 ①更高兴的：happier/more delighted ②感动的：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1]I felt happier knowing that he had led a great life and touched so many people.
