Waikiki Beach This famous two-mile stretch of sand is home to scores of family-friendly beach hotels and all kinds of action-packed excitement. Waikiki Beach is the perfect place to go if you’re looking for warm ocean water and golden beaches. Kids will enjoy walking along the beach, stopping for shaved ice or an ice cream and taking a dip in a safe area of the ocean. Oahu’s North Shore Some of the tallest ocean waves in the world are found at Oahu, Hawaii’s North Shore coastline during the winter months. These crashing walls of water are born for surfing and offer one of the best free shows on the islands. The North Shore is home to world-class surf contests, attracting the world’s top surfers. Polynesian Cultural Center Nothing appeals to the whole family like Hawaiian past coming alive. Besides, the colorful costumes, lively songs, and traditional dances in the Pacific region are presented here. You’ll see customs of Fiji, New Zealand, Marquesas, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, and Hawaii all represented in Polynesian Cultural Center’s re-created island villages, which is decorated with palm trees and tropical gardens. Waimea Canyon (峡谷) State Park More than 3,500 feet deep, this landmark on Hawaii’s island of Kauai is the largest canyon in the Pacific. Unlike Grand Canyon, plentiful rain keeps Waimea Canyon and its surrounding area thick with vegetation (植被), and visitors are frequently treated to the sight of vivid rainbows. It offers a great canyon view and a covered picnic area. 21. What makes Oahu’s North Shore known to the world? A. Its best free cultural shows. B. Its family-friendly beach hotels. C. Having the tallest coastline. D. Being a perfect place for surfing. 22. Which place is most likely to attract those who are interested in history? A. Waikiki Beach. B. Oahu’s North Shore. C. Polynesian Cultural Center. D. Waimea Canyon State Park. 23. What is special about Waimea Canyon compared to Grand Canyon? A. It has a covered picnic area. B. It has a depth of over 3,500 feet. C. It’s rich in plants and rainfall. D. It owns a unique kind of vegetation. B The Grammys celebrate the best in music; but behind every songwriter, performer, and producer that makes it to that stage are music teachers and educators who inspired them from a very young age. That’s why the Grammy Awards also hands out a Special Music Award, which recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to music education. This year, the award went to Annie Ray, the performing arts department chair and orchestra (管弦乐队) director at Annandale High School in Fairfax County, Virginia—a community with many poor people. With the creation of the Crescendo Orchestra, she works to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities. Additionally, she created a parent orchestra, in which 200 caregivers learn to play the same instrument as their child every year. Ray took home both a $ 10, 000 prize and a matching prize for her school’s music program. In an interview following the Merit Award ceremony, Ray credited her pupils for this award. “This is the students’ award,” she said. “I’m just lucky enough to have been a part of their journey and their process and to have been taught by them.” Now, Ray will use the prize money to buy instruments—something the school has struggled to do. She also plans to create an ongoing scholarship for students who want to become musicians and music educators when they graduate. For Ray, the moment appears to come full circle, since it was a music teacher who first changed her life at age 5. “The reason I am here is because a teacher changed my life and made me want to be a music educator,” she said. “The work is hard, but it is truly rewarding, and there’s nothing else like it.” 24. Who is the Special Music Award intended for? A. Songwriters. B. Music teachers. C. Music performers. D. Music producers. 25. Why did Ray set up the Crescendo Orchestra? A. To let parents learn about music. B To provide students with access to music. C. To make more money to support the community. D. To enable disabled students to become musicians. 26. What did Ray want to show in the interview? A. She helped her students a lot. B. Her students appreciated her teaching. C. Her students had a great talent for music. D. She won the award thanks to her students. 27. What does Ray think of her job? A. Creative. B. Easy. C. Worthwhile. D. Boring. C Over the last 40 years, 90% of the King Penguins (企鹅) on a faraway island have been lost. This is especially worrying because it was the largest group of King Penguins in the world. Penguins living in large groups are called “colonies”. And about half of the world's King Penguins live in the Crozet islands, which lie between Antarctica and the tip of Africa. In 1982, the scientists visited the colony on one of the Crozet islands — the Pig Island. At that time, they figured that there were around 2 million King Penguins there. But now, after carefully studying images taken from space, the scientists believe there are only about 200,000King Penguins left on the island. The scientists are trying to figure out what might have caused the problem. There are some parts that they understand. For example, it got very warm in 1997. That meant the penguins had to swim much farther to get to the colder water where they could find their food. Many penguins couldn't find enough food to feed their babies. That year was a hard year for the penguins all around Antartica, and many died. It's possible that there was some kind of sickness just on the Pig Island. It's also possible that the penguins could have problems with the cats or mice which are also on the island. But there are cats and mice on the other islands, and the penguins there seem to be in good condition. Before this news, people thought the King Penguins were fine. Now, the scientists are worried that they may be in danger. And it will probably get worse because of climate change. The scientists are planning to travel to the Pig Island to count the penguins again and to find out what is going on. But they won't be able to make the trip until this autumn. 28. What can we learn about the Crozet islands from the second paragraph? A. Two million penguins live there now. B. They are the largest islands in Africa. C. They are home to the King Penguins. D. People discovered the islands in 1982. 29. How did the warm weather in 1997 affect the penguins? A. They could feed more babies. B. They swam slowly in the water. C. They grew up in a faster way. D. They had difficulty in getting food. 30. What are the scientists going to do about the penguins? A. Study their images taken from space. B. Explore what threatens their life. C. Make them live in different groups. D. Protect them from cats and mice. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Sharp Drop in Penguins' Number B. The Wonderland of the King Penguins C. A Team's Journey to the South Pole D. The Major Change in Global Climate D Tiny, black-capped chickadees (北美山雀) have big memories. They store food in hundreds to thousands of different locations in the wild — and then comeback to these places when other food sources are low. Scientists have known that chickadees have incredible memory skills That memory can be a matter of life or death for these birds when there are no enough food resources in colder months. Some researchers thought that neurons called place cells (细胞) would explain these birds’ ability to remember where their food is stored. These cells are known to include information about where things are in space. But recently，Selmaan Chettih and his team found that each time a chickadee hides a seed (种子) in a specific location, a unique brain pattern appears — separate from place cells To observe this, Chettih and his team created special areas with lots of feeders filled with sunflower seeds. They put small flaps (片状下垂物) where birds could hide seeds. The scientists tracked the activity in their brains. Each time a bird hid a seed under a flap, researchers saw a brief unique brain pattern appear—what they called the barcode. Different patterns appeared even if the birds hid many seeds in the same location. When the birds revisited these sites and retrieved the hidden seeds, the same barcode-like pattern appeared again, as though all the information about each location and seed were related to a unique brain pattern. The researchers compared these memories to episodic memories in humans, which are memories of specific events or personal experiences. They’re important to how humans connect time, people, places and sensory information together. Chettih says that this see chiding behavior has a clear pattern of activity, which may help researchers build a structure for how the brain creates and stores memories 32. Why are memory skills necessary for chickadees? A. Memory skills can help them survive in colder months. B. Memory skills show their intelligence and learning abilities. C. They need memory skills to identify different types of food. D. They use memory skills to avoid being attacked by other animals. 33. What did Chettih and his team find? A. Chickadees’ memories were controlled by place cells. B. Chickadees preferred hiding sunflower seeds. C. Unique brain patterns appeared when chickadees hid seeds. D. Chickadees often hid many seeds in the same location. 34. What does the underlined word “retrieved” mean in paragraph 5? A. Repaired. B. Regained. C. Decorated. D. Designed. 35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce a study on chickadees’ memory. B. To present a detailed description of chickadees. C. To compare chickadees and human memory skills. D. To provide readers with a way to improve memory skills. 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。 How to keep your house clean Pick up items before cleaning Before you start deep cleaning, do some basic tidying up.

The first sentence I usually heard was, “It's time to rise!” It was Mom's loudest voice, and there was no way I could pretend not to hear it or avoid it. By then, I couldn't get to the kitchen fast enough. In fact, it was a race between my sister and me. We usually seated ourselves at the same time, sometimes knocking each other out of our places. After breakfast, we all rushed out to the bus stop as we took our lunch bags that contained a sandwich, fruit, and a dessert. Then, one day, much to my surprise, there was no dessert in my lunch! What could have happened to it? Did Mom forget to make or buy it? Oh, well, I thought. It's only one time, so it's no big deal. But, for the next few days, my lunch contained no dessert! So one day, after school, as soon as I got home, I asked, “Mom! Why haven't you been putting a dessert in my school lunch?” Mom answered, “Why, Eugene, I have been including a dessert in your lunch. If you're not getting it, then who is?” So then we thought of my activities, and what I did with my lunch each day. As soon as I arrived at school, I always put my lunch in the classroom closet (储物间) along with all of the other lunches. And that brought us to Carl—the bad boy of the third-grade class. The teacher didn't like him in class and would send him to the closet, where he would spend most of his time each day. Carl lived in a foster home (寄养家庭). He was loud and somewhat of a thief. He would take just about anything that wasn't fastened (盖好), so he wasn't welcome at school. Mom and I decided that with nothing else to do Carl was probably going through the lunches and eating what he liked. 注意:续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1: My mother and I talked about ways to solve this problem. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Another day, Carl asked me if he could come to my house and meet my mother. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 叶集皖西当代中学高一年级期末考试 英语 本试卷共8页。全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。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，将本试题和答题卡一并交回。 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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the speakers do next?

I felt proud and excited because my father thought I was responsible enough to help him in his business. That first day was really hard. From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I cut and arranged a very large yard in the city. By the end of the day I was exhausted but I felt good. I had put in a hard day’s labor and had earned six dollars. The next day my father found some weeds I had missed cutting and pulled me aside. “Do that again,” he said firmly. “Don’t make me tell you again. Do the job right the first time.” In the following days, besides the work in the yard I did many other jobs, like washing dishes and operating a machine in a construction site. From all these jobs I have learned something that has helped me in my next job. I realize if you work hard enough, you can learn from many jobs you do. 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（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A Family Vacations in Hawaii Whether your interests are history, native cultures, hiking, water sports, or simply relaxing in the sun, Hawaii has abundant choices to keep you and your family entertained.

That’s why the Grammy Awards also hands out a Special Music Award, which recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to music education. This year, the award went to Annie Ray, the performing arts department chair and orchestra (管弦乐队) director at Annandale High School in Fairfax County, Virginia—a community with many poor people. With the creation of the Crescendo Orchestra, she works to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities. Additionally, she created a parent orchestra, in which 200 caregivers learn to play the same instrument as their child every year. Ray took home both a $ 10, 000 prize and a matching prize for her school’s music program. In an interview following the Merit Award ceremony, Ray credited her pupils for this award. “This is the students’ award,” she said. “I’m just lucky enough to have been a part of their journey and their process and to have been taught by them.” Now, Ray will use the prize money to buy instruments—something the school has struggled to do. She also plans to create an ongoing scholarship for students who want to become musicians and music educators when they graduate. For Ray, the moment appears to come full circle, since it was a music teacher who first changed her life at age 5. “The reason I am here is because a teacher changed my life and made me want to be a music educator,” she said. “The work is hard, but it is truly rewarding, and there’s nothing else like it.” 24. Who is the Special Music Award intended for? A. Songwriters. B. Music teachers. C. Music performers. D. Music producers. 25. Why did Ray set up the Crescendo Orchestra? A. To let parents learn about music. B. To provide students with access to music. C. To make more money to support the community. D. To enable disabled students to become musicians. 26. What did Ray want to show in the interview? A. She helped her students a lot. B. Her students appreciated her teaching. C. Her students had a great talent for music. D. She won the award thanks to her students. 27. What does Ray think of her job? A. Creative. B. Easy. C. Worthwhile. D. Boring. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Annie Ray获得了格莱美音乐特别奖，她在音乐教育方面做出了重大贡献，她创立了Crescendo Orchestra，使所有学生，特别是残疾学生都能接触到音乐，她还创立了一个家长乐团，让200多名照顾者每年都能学习和他们孩子相同的乐器。她将奖金用于购买乐器，并计划为想要成为音乐家和音乐教育者的学生设立奖学金。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“That’s why the Grammy Awards also hands out a Special Music Award, which recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to music education.”（这就是为什么格莱美奖也颁发特别音乐奖，以表彰那些对音乐教育做出重大贡献的人。）可知，特别音乐奖是为了表彰那些对音乐教育做出重大贡献的人，故选B。 25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“With the creation of the Crescendo Orchestra, she works to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities.”（通过创立Crescendo Orchestra，她努力让所有学生，特别是残疾学生都能接触到音乐。）可知，Ray建立Crescendo Orchestra的目的是让所有学生都能接触到音乐，故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In an interview following the Merit Award ceremony, Ray credited her pupils for this award. “This is the students’ award,” she said.”（在颁奖典礼后的一次采访中，Ray将这个奖项归功于她的学生。“这是学生们的奖项，”她说。）可知，Ray在采访中表示，这个奖项是归功于她的学生的，故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The work is hard, but it is truly rewarding, and there’s nothing else like it.”（工作很辛苦，但真的很有回报，没有什么可以比拟的。）可知，Ray认为她的工作虽然辛苦，但是非常有价值，故选C。 C Over the last 40 years, 90% of the King Penguins (企鹅) on a faraway island have been lost. This is especially worrying because it was the largest group of King Penguins in the world. Penguins living in large groups are called “colonies”. And about half of the world's King Penguins live in the Crozet islands, which lie between Antarctica and the tip of Africa. In 1982, the scientists visited the colony on one of the Crozet islands — the Pig Island. At that time, they figured that there were around 2 million King Penguins there. But now, after carefully studying images taken from space, the scientists believe there are only about 200,000King Penguins left on the island. The scientists are trying to figure out what might have caused the problem. There are some parts that they understand. For example, it got very warm in 1997. That meant the penguins had to swim much farther to get to the colder water where they could find their food. Many penguins couldn't find enough food to feed their babies. That year was a hard year for the penguins all around Antartica, and many died. It's possible that there was some kind of sickness just on the Pig Island. It's also possible that the penguins could have problems with the cats or mice which are also on the island. But there are cats and mice on the other islands, and the penguins there seem to be in good condition. Before this news, people thought the King Penguins were fine. Now, the scientists are worried that they may be in danger. And it will probably get worse because of climate change. The scientists are planning to travel to the Pig Island to count the penguins again and to find out what is going on. But they won't be able to make the trip until this autumn. 28. What can we learn about the Crozet islands from the second paragraph? A. Two million penguins live there now. B. They are the largest islands in Africa. C. They are home to the King Penguins. D. People discovered the islands in 1982. 29. How did the warm weather in 1997 affect the penguins? A. They could feed more babies. B. They swam slowly in the water. C. They grew up in a faster way. D. They had difficulty in getting food. 30. What are the scientists going to do about the penguins? A. Study their images taken from space. B. Explore what threatens their life. C. Make them live in different groups. D. Protect them from cats and mice. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Sharp Drop in Penguins' Number B. The Wonderland of the King Penguins C. A Team's Journey to the South Pole D. The Major Change in Global Climate 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在过去的40年里，远离人类居住地的一个岛上，90%的帝企鹅消失了，科学家们正在努力寻找原因，并计划在秋天再次前往该岛进行调查。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的句子“And about half of the world's King Penguins live in the Crozet islands, which lie between Antarctica and the tip of Africa.”（大约一半的世界帝企鹅生活在位于南极和非洲尖端之间的克罗泽特群岛上。）可知，克罗泽特群岛是帝企鹅的家，故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的句子“For example, it got very warm in 1997. That meant the penguins had to swim much farther to get to the colder water where they could find their food. Many penguins couldn't find enough food to feed their babies.”（例如，1997年天气非常暖和。这意味着企鹅们必须游得更远才能到达他们可以找到食物的冷水区。许多企鹅找不到足够的食物喂养他们的宝宝。）可知，1997年的暖冬使企鹅在获取食物上遇到了困难，故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“The scientists are planning to travel to the Pig Island to count the penguins again and to find out what”（科学家们计划再次前往猪岛计算企鹅的数量，并找出发生了什么。）可知，科学家们打算探索威胁企鹅生命的因素，故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Over the last 40 years, 90% of the King Penguins(企鹅) on a faraway island have been lost. This is especially worrying because it was the largest group of King Penguins in the world.”（在过去的40年里，一个遥远岛屿上90%的王企鹅已经消失了。这尤其令人担忧，因为这是世界上最大的王企鹅群。）可知，文章主要讲述了在过去的40年里，远离人类居住地的一个岛上，90%的帝企鹅消失了，科学家们正在努力寻找原因，并计划在秋天再次前往该岛进行调查。所以短文的标题为“企鹅数量急剧下降”。故选A项。 D Tiny, black-capped chickadees (北美山雀) have big memories. They store food in hundreds to thousands of different locations in the wild — and then comeback to these places when other food sources are low. Scientists have known that chickadees have incredible memory skills. That memory can be a matter of life or death for these birds when there are no enough food resources in colder months. Some researchers thought that neurons called place cells (细胞) would explain these birds’ ability to remember where their food is stored. These cells are known to include information about where things are in space. But recently，Selmaan Chettih and his team found that each time a chickadee hides a seed (种子) in a specific location, a unique brain pattern appears — separate from place cells To observe this, Chettih and his team created special areas with lots of feeders filled with sunflower seeds. They put small flaps (片状下垂物) where birds could hide seeds. The scientists tracked the activity in their brains. Each time a bird hid a seed under a flap, researchers saw a brief unique brain pattern appear—what they called the barcode. Different patterns appeared even if the birds hid many seeds in the same location. When the birds revisited these sites and retrieved the hidden seeds, the same barcode-like pattern appeared again, as though all the information about each location and seed were related to a unique brain pattern. The researchers compared these memories to episodic memories in humans, which are memories of specific events or personal experiences. They’re important to how humans connect time, people, places and sensory information together. Chettih says that this see chiding behavior has a clear pattern of activity, which may help researchers build a structure for how the brain creates and stores memories 32. Why are memory skills necessary for chickadees? A. Memory skills can help them survive in colder months. B. Memory skills show their intelligence and learning abilities. C. They need memory skills to identify different types of food. D. They use memory skills to avoid being attacked by other animals. 33. What did Chettih and his team find? A. Chickadees’ memories were controlled by place cells. B. Chickadees preferred hiding sunflower seeds. C. Unique brain patterns appeared when chickadees hid seeds. D. Chickadees often hid many seeds in the same location. 34. What does the underlined word “retrieved” mean in paragraph 5? A Repaired. B. Regained. C. Decorated. D. Designed. 35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce a study on chickadees’ memory. B. To present a detailed description of chickadees. C. To compare chickadees and human memory skills. D. To provide readers with a way to improve memory skills. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了北美山雀记忆力很强，以此来度过寒冷的月份。文章介绍了相关研究。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists have known that chickadees have incredible memory skills. That memory can be a matter of life or death for these birds when there are no enough food resources in colder months. (科学家们已经知道，山雀拥有令人难以置信的记忆力。当在寒冷的月份没有足够的食物资源时，这种记忆对这些鸟类来说可能是生死攸关的问题。)”可知，记忆技能对山雀来说是必要的是因为记忆力可以帮助他们在寒冷的月份生存。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But recently, Selmaan Chettih and his team found that each time a chickadee hides a seed (种子) in a specific location, a unique brain pattern appears—separate from place cells. (但最近，Selmaan Chettih和他的团队发现，每当山雀把种子藏在一个特定的位置时，一种独特的大脑模式就会出现——与位置细胞分开)”可知，Chettih和他的团队发现当山雀隐藏种子时，大脑出现了独特的模式。故选C。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“the birds revisited these sites and”以及后文“the hidden seeds”可知，这些鸟再次造访这些地点是为了拿回藏起来的种子。故划线词意思是“拿回”。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Scientists have known that chickadees have incredible memory skills. That memory can be a matter of life or death for these birds when there are no enough food resources in colder months. (科学家们已经知道，山雀拥有令人难以置信的记忆力。当在寒冷的月份没有足够的食物资源时，这种记忆对这些鸟类来说可能是生死攸关的问题。)”结合文章主要说明了北美山雀记忆力很强，以此来度过寒冷的月份。文章介绍了相关研究。可知，文章的目的是介绍一项关于山雀记忆的研究。故选A。 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。 How to keep your house clean Pick up items before cleaning Before you start deep cleaning, do some basic tidying up.

The first sentence I usually heard was, “It's time to rise!” It was Mom's loudest voice, and there was no way I could pretend not to hear it or avoid it. By then, I couldn't get to the kitchen fast enough. In fact, it was a race between my sister and me. We usually seated ourselves at the same time, sometimes knocking each other out of our places. After breakfast, we all rushed out to the bus stop as we took our lunch bags that contained a sandwich, fruit, and a dessert. Then, one day, much to my surprise, there was no dessert in my lunch! What could have happened to it? Did Mom forget to make or buy it? Oh, well, I thought. It's only one time, so it's no big deal. But, for the next few days, my lunch contained no dessert! So one day, after school, as soon as I got home, I asked, “Mom! Why haven't you been putting a dessert in my school lunch?” Mom answered, “Why, Eugene, I have been including a dessert in your lunch. If you're not getting it, then who is?” So then we thought of my activities, and what I did with my lunch each day. As soon as I arrived at school, I always put my lunch in the classroom closet (储物间) along with all of the other lunches. And that brought us to Carl—the bad boy of the third-grade class. The teacher didn't like him in class and would send him to the closet, where he would spend most of his time each day. Carl lived in a foster home (寄养家庭). He was loud and somewhat of a thief. He would take just about anything that wasn't fastened (盖好), so he wasn't welcome at school. Mom and I decided that with nothing else to do Carl was probably going through the lunches and eating what he liked. 注意:续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1: My mother and I talked about ways to solve this problem. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Another day, Carl asked me if he could come to my house and meet my mother. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: My mother and I talked about ways to solve this problem. After some thinking, my mother said she was going to put two desserts in my lunch: one for me and the other one for Carl. And then I put my lunch bag in the classroom closet as usual. One day, Carl stopped me and asked why there were always two desserts in my lunch. I told him that one was for him. He was surprised. Paragraph 2: Another day, Carl asked me if he could come to my house and meet my mother. I told him that he would be welcome at our house as long as he did not steal anything. He agreed. After that, Carl would come to our house every day after school and we enjoyed our time together playing games. I learned a lifelong lesson from Mom about how to treat others. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了有一天我的午餐中没有甜点，连续几天都是如此。我发现同班的坏男孩Carl在储物间吃掉了我的甜点。妈妈决定每天在我的午餐中放两个甜点，一个给我，一个给Carl。之后，Carl变成了我的朋友，我从妈妈那里学到了如何善待他人的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我和妈妈讨论了解决这个问题方法。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈想出了主意解决这个问题的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“又有一天，卡尔问我能不能去我家见见我妈妈。”可知，第二段可描写Carl每天放学后都会来我家，我们一起玩游戏，其乐融融的场景。 2.续写线索：讨论解决问题办法——解决问题——来家里——一起玩——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①问：ask/inquire ②享受：enjoy/appreciate ③同意：agree/say OK 情绪类 ①惊喜：surprised/shocked ②受欢迎的：welcome/greet happily 【点睛】[高分句型1]One day, Carl stopped me and asked why there were always two desserts in my lunch.（由连接词why引导的宾语从句作ask的宾语） [高分句型2]I told him that he would be welcome at our house as long as he did not steal anything.（由as long as引导条件状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
