Let’s explore the world of music. Classical music is a large type that includes music from the Middle Ages to the present day. Known for its rich harmonies, classical music requires a high level of skill and understanding to perform. It’s often seen as the start of many other music types. Rock music started from rock and roll, and quickly became a force of its own. It’s known for strong and driving rhythms (节奏). Rock music has always been connected with a fight and social comments, and it’s often praised for its raw sound. Country music is from rural American folk and Western music. Known for its storytelling, country music often features themes of love, heartbreak and everyday life. It’s characterized by its unique style, making use of instruments like the guitar, piano, banjo and fiddle. Indie music, short for “independent (独立)”, is characterized by its being away from mainstream music rules. It often features nontraditional song structures. The indie spirits of valuing personal creativity over business success and supporting the DIY approach to recording and publishing give this type a unique and different sound. 1. Which music covers from the Middle Ages to the present day? A. Rock music. B. Country music. C. Classical music. D. Indie music. 2. What is a feature of Indie music? A. It is the start of music. B. It is themed with love. C. It focuses on business success. D. It stresses personal creativity. 3. What does the text mainly tell us about music? A. Its development. B. Its types. C. Its instruments. D. Its birthplace. B Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin began to declare very strange plans every April Fool’s Day not long after starting their company more than a quarter century ago. One year, they posted a job opening for a Copernicus research center on the moon. Usually, their ideas were so absurd that people learned to laugh them off as another example of joke. That’s how their plan about Gmail was received when it was made public 20 years ago on April Fool’s Day. They said it would be a free email service that would store about 13,500 emails each account before running out of space, while the other webmail services run by Yahoo and Microsoft could store just 30 to 60 emails. Besides the storage, they declared, Gmail would be equipped with Google’s search technology so users could quickly find an old email, photo or other personal information stored on the service. It would also automatically string together all of the communications about the same topic so they could be read as if it was a single conversation. It was such a surprising concept that shortly after The Associated Press published a story about Gmail late on the afternoon of April Fool’s Day in 2004 readers began calling and emailing to inform the news agency that it had been fooled by the Google founders. But The AP knew Google wasn’t joking about Gmail because an AP reporter had been invited to the company to see what they were working on. In his office, Page, then just 31 years old, showed the reporter how nicely Gmail operated. “I think people are really going to like this,” Page predicted. As with so many other things, Page was right. Gmail now has more than 1.8 billion active accounts and has become the first building block in Google’s internet empire beyond its search engine. After Gmail came Google Maps and Google Docs with word processing applications. Then came the video site YouTube, followed by the introduction of the Android operating system that powers most of the world’s smartphones. “That is part of the fun, making a product that people won’t believe is real,”said Marissa Mayer who helpedto design Gmail. 4. What does the word “absurd” underlined in paragraph 1 mean? A. Creative. B. Strange. C. Popular. D. Practical. 5. Compared with Gmail, the other webmail services _______. A. could store less information B. were unsafe to store information C were more convenient to use D. could put all related mails together 6. Why did The AP decide to publish the Gmail story on April Fool’s Day in 2004? A. It was fooled by Page and Brin. B. It wanted to play a joke on the public. C. It had accepted money from Google. D. It was sure the surprising story was true. 7. Which application came out first? A. Gmail. B. Google Maps. C. Google search. D. Google Docs. C On the top floor of a workshop in Athens, Greece, a team of artists are busy creating faithful copies of the famous statue of Alexander the Great and the Venus de Milo. “Our work mostly ends up at gift shops around the world. Museums also ask us to make copies of artworks. Prices start at $24 for a small Venus statue and go as high as $11,560 for a faithful copy of it.” says Maria Zafeiri, an artist at the workshop for 30 years. “It’s exciting when our statues end up in a museum and thousands of eyes admire them. They bring even more visitors to Greece.” Making copies of ancient Greek statues isn’t new. Researchers and artists began reproducing ancient Greek sculptures shortly after the National Archaeological Museum in Athens opened in 1829. “The first copies were not for commercial reasons, but for scientific ones. Scholars wanted to study the ancients.” says Maria Zafeiri. “Later, everyone wanted statues in their house, above the fireplace. They were in all European living rooms.” Some copies of ancient statues were terrible, but other reproductions were so faithful that they ended up in places like the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In 2018, the museum determined its famous Kouros statue—supposed to date from 650 to 480 BC and bought for $6 million—was probably a forgery (赝品), and removed it from view. “There are methods to fool the experts.” Maria Zafeiri says. “Such forgeries create a false image of Greek culture and mislead researchers.” But aren’t Maria Zafeiri and her workshop also producing forgeries? “I think the difference between a forgery and a reproduction is the intention. There are reproductions of designer bags, but that becomes forgeries when the reproducer says they’re real.” says Maria Zafeiri. “Our shop just feeds the desire of travelers to own something lovely to pack up or ship home. A good reproduction can extend your trip. It’s similar to a photograph of yourself while on vacation, it brings you back to that beautiful day at the Acropolis.” 8. How does Maria Zafeiri most probably feel about her work? A. Ashamed. B. Proud. C. Bored. D. Dissatisfied. 9. Who were the targeted customers of the reproduced ancient Greek statues in the 1830s? A. Researchers. B. Businessmen. C. Souvenir seekers. D. Treasure hunters. 10. What can be inferred about the Kouros statue bought by the Getty Museum? A. The reproduction was worth the money. B. The museum had a lot of such forgeries. C. It was probably from a skilled artist. D. It was created between 650 and 480 BC. 11. What sets a forgery apart from a reproduction according to Maria Zafeiri? A. The price. B. The material. C. The quality. D. The purpose. D Having studied more than 400 groups of honeybees in Brazil for two years, a group of biologists led by Viviana Di Pietro report that, like humans, honeybees are capable of learning new traditions which are then handed down over generations. “The most obvious example is that honeybees can build their homes according to different architectural traditions which are then handed down over generations,” they write. “We found that around 95% of the honeybees built their homes in a horizontal (与地面平行的) style, while 5% of them preferred a spiral (螺旋形的) structure. In each case, the tradition was passed down to the next generations.” Since honeybees showed a strong preference for a horizontal structure, it was surprising that spiral structures occurred at all. “With the help of video cameras, we found that there was a noticeable difference in average building rate between the two styles.” the researchers add. In order to rule out a genetic (遗传的) explanation for the different styles, the researchers took honeybees from the groups that built in spiral tradition close to the groups that built in horizontal tradition. The imported honeybees soon learned to build their homes in the local style, which was then passed down to their children as they eventually grew up. “It is very likely that the imported honeybees might have changed the style as a way of correcting the construction errors made by their ancestors.” the researchers suggest. The findings have surprised observers of animal culture, as they suggest that honeybees can learn and hand down different building traditions over generations. This has changed the way of thinking about culture, which is often strictly defined as behaviour directly handed down from human parents to their children until it becomes a tradition in a group. “Insect culture was thought impossible. Less than a century ago, culture was thought to be uniquely human,” says biologist Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews, who was not involved in the research. “But the new research has offered strong evidence pointing to the opposite.” 12. Why do most honeybees prefer a horizontal structure according to the research? A. It is easier to be copied. B. It is a bit stronger. C. It is more comfortable. D. It is faster to build. 13. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5refer to? A. Scientists. B. Traditions. C. Findings. D. Parents. 14. Which word best describes Andrew Whiten’s attitude to the new research? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Researchers Have Different Views on Animal Culture B. Honeybees May Learn and Preserve Cultural Traditions C. Honeybees Can Learn Building Skills From Their Neighbors D. Researchers Have Misunderstood Honeybees for a Long Time 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。 People normally look for a bit of adventure in their lives.

I could write about all of the wonderful things she has done, but I want to focus on one project she does every year that has shaped my whole family and everyone around us: She saves money, and she puts it in a little jar (罐子) that we refer to as “The Charity Jar”. Every year, she takes this money and puts it toward something—an act of kindness, anything that can help someone. Sometimes, she buys something for an organization that needs it. If you ask her about this tradition, she will tell you that she is carrying on something that her mother used to do around the holidays. If you ask anyone else who knows her, however, they will tell you that she has a huge heart. She manages to get our whole family involved (参与) in this movement every year. Last year, she helped an organization where I volunteered—Ruth’s Place—a homeless women’s shelter in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. I had been helping a professor run a writing workshop in the shelter when I noticed the wish list on the wall: warm clothes, a coffee maker and supplies. I told my mom, and within a day, she had already asked if our family wanted to help Ruth’s Place. We all agreed and decided that the coffee maker and supplies would be the best things for our family to work on together. A few days later, Mom found a coffee maker online, and showed it to us. With a few clicks, it was on its way. She also baked(烘焙) fresh chocolate cupcakes for the women in the shelter. We gathered the rest of the supplies and called the shelter to find a day when we could deliver them. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That day I drove my mom to the shelter very slowly. _______________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we left, we were met with heartfelt thanks. _____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023～2024学年高一期末质量检测卷 英 语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。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：人教版必修第二册至必修第三册。 第一部分听力(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听 完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了谷歌创始人Larry Page和Sergey Brin喜欢在愚人节发布奇怪的计划，所以当他们提出Gmail的想法时，公众都以为是个玩笑，但出人意料的是，Gmail后来大为成功。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后面的“people learned to laugh them off as another example of joke”可知，人们把这些想法当作笑话一笑了之，再结合第一段第一句“Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin began to declare very strange plans every April Fool’s Day not long after starting their company more than a quarter century ago.(谷歌联合创始人Larry Page和Sergey Brin在25多年前创办公司后不久，就开始在每年愚人节宣布非常奇怪的计划)”可推出，他们在愚人节提出的想法非常奇怪、荒诞，absurd意为“荒谬的”，与strange意思最接近。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They said it would be a free email service that would store about 13,500 emails each account before running out of space, while the other webmail services run by Yahoo and Microsoft could store just 30 to 60 emails.(他们表示，这将是一项免费的电子邮件服务，在空间用尽之前，每个账户将存储约13500封电子邮件，而雅虎和微软运营的其他网络邮件服务只能存储30至60封电子邮件)”可知，谷歌的Gmail能够存储约13500封电子邮件，而雅虎和微软运营的其他网络邮件服务只能存储30至60封电子邮件。由此可知，其他网络邮件服务存储的邮件数量小于Gmail。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“But The AP knew Google wasn’t joking about Gmail because an AP reporter had been invited to the company to see what they were working on. In his office, Page, then just 31 years old, showed the reporter how nicely Gmail operated. “I think people are really going to like this,” Page predicted.(但美联社知道谷歌并不是在开关于Gmail的玩笑，因为美联社的一名记者被邀请到该公司看看他们在做什么。当时只有31岁的Page在他的办公室里向记者展示了Gmail的运行情况。Page预测说：“我认为人们真的会喜欢这个。”)”可知，美联社的记者现场考查了Gmail的有关情况，所以他们确信这个令人惊讶的消息是真实的。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Besides the storage, they declared, Gmail would be equipped with Google’s search technology so users could quickly find an old email, photo or other personal information stored on the service.(他们宣称，除了存储之外，Gmail还将配备谷歌的搜索技术，这样用户就可以快速找到存储在该服务上的旧电子邮件、照片或其他个人信息)”和第五段中的“After Gmail came Google Maps and Google Docs with word processing applications.(继Gmail之后，推出了带有文字处理应用程序的Google Maps和Google Docs)”可知，谷歌应用的出现顺序是：谷歌搜索、Gmail、Google Maps和Google Docs。故选C。 C On the top floor of a workshop in Athens, Greece, a team of artists are busy creating faithful copies of the famous statue of Alexander the Great and the Venus de Milo. “Our work mostly ends up at gift shops around the world. Museums also ask us to make copies of artworks. Prices start at $24 for a small Venus statue and go as high as $11,560 for a faithful copy of it.” says Maria Zafeiri, an artist at the workshop for 30 years. “It’s exciting when our statues end up in a museum and thousands of eyes admire them. They bring even more visitors to Greece.” Making copies of ancient Greek statues isn’t new. Researchers and artists began reproducing ancient Greek sculptures shortly after the National Archaeological Museum in Athens opened in 1829. “The first copies were not for commercial reasons, but for scientific ones. Scholars wanted to study the ancients.” says Maria Zafeiri. “Later, everyone wanted statues in their house, above the fireplace. They were in all European living rooms.” Some copies of ancient statues were terrible, but other reproductions were so faithful that they ended up in places like the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In 2018, the museum determined its famous Kouros statue—supposed to date from 650 to 480 BC and bought for $6 million—was probably a forgery (赝品), and removed it from view. “There are methods to fool the experts.” Maria Zafeiri says. “Such forgeries create a false image of Greek culture and mislead researchers.” But aren’t Maria Zafeiri and her workshop also producing forgeries? “I think the difference between a forgery and a reproduction is the intention. There are reproductions of designer bags, but that becomes forgeries when the reproducer says they’re real.” says Maria Zafeiri. “Our shop just feeds the desire of travelers to own something lovely to pack up or ship home. A good reproduction can extend your trip. It’s similar to a photograph of yourself while on vacation, it brings you back to that beautiful day at the Acropolis.” 8. How does Maria Zafeiri most probably feel about her work? A. Ashamed. B. Proud. C. Bored. D. Dissatisfied. 9. Who were the targeted customers of the reproduced ancient Greek statues in the 1830s? A. Researchers. B. Businessmen. C. Souvenir seekers. D. Treasure hunters. 10. What can be inferred about the Kouros statue bought by the Getty Museum? A. The reproduction was worth the money. B. The museum had a lot of such forgeries. C. It was probably from a skilled artist. D. It was created between 650 and 480 BC. 11. What sets a forgery apart from a reproduction according to Maria Zafeiri? A. The price. B. The material. C. The quality. D. The purpose. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了一位希腊艺术家Maria Zafeiri与其工作室复制古希腊雕塑的故事，探讨了复制品与赝品的区别及对文化的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Our work mostly ends up at gift shops around the world. Museums also ask us to make copies of artworks.(我们的作品大多在世界各地的礼品店出售。博物馆也要求我们复制艺术品)”以及“It’s exciting when our statues end up in a museum and thousands of eyes admire them. They bring even more visitors to Greece.(当我们的雕像最终进入博物馆，成千上万的眼睛欣赏它们时，这是令人兴奋的。它们为希腊带来了更多的游客)”可知，他们的作品会出现在世界各地，也会出现在博物馆，尤其是进入博物馆的作品得到了欣赏的目光，为希腊带来了跟多的游客，这是令人兴奋的。由此可推知，对于自己的作品，她是感到骄傲的。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Researchers and artists began reproducing ancient Greek sculptures shortly after the National Archaeological Museum in Athens opened in 1829.(雅典国家考古博物馆于1829年开馆后不久，研究人员和艺术家就开始复制古希腊雕塑)”以及第四段内容“The first copies were not for commercial reasons, but for scientific ones. Scholars wanted to study the ancients.(最初的复制品不是出于商业原因，而是出于科学原因。学者们想研究古人)”可知，1829年以后出现了对古希腊雕塑的复制，而最初的复制是出于科学研究原因，因此可推知，19世纪30年代复制的古希腊雕像的目标客户是学者，研究人员。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“but other reproductions were so faithful that they ended up in places like the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. In 2018, the museum determined its famous Kouros statue—supposed to date from 650 to 480 BC and bought for $6 million—was probably a forgery, and removed it from view.(但是其他的复制品是如此的忠实准确，以至于它们最终出现在了洛杉矶的盖蒂博物馆。2018年，博物馆确定其著名的Kouros雕像——据说可以追溯到公元前650年至480年，以600万美元购买——可能是一件赝品，并将其从视野中移除)”可知，该雕像被复制的如此忠实于原作，以致于被Getty Museum博物馆以600万美元购买，且非常著名。由此可推知，其复制者应该是一个技艺高超的艺术家。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章末尾段“I think the difference between a forgery and a reproduction is the intention.(我认为伪造和复制的区别在于意图)”可知，在她看来，两者的区别在于创作者的意图和目的。故选D项。 D Having studied more than 400 groups of honeybees in Brazil for two years, a group of biologists led by Viviana Di Pietro report that, like humans, honeybees are capable of learning new traditions which are then handed down over generations. “The most obvious example is that honeybees can build their homes according to different architectural traditions which are then handed down over generations,” they write. “We found that around 95% of the honeybees built their homes in a horizontal (与地面平行的) style, while 5% of them preferred a spiral (螺旋形的) structure. In each case, the tradition was passed down to the next generations.” Since honeybees showed a strong preference for a horizontal structure, it was surprising that spiral structures occurred at all. “With the help of video cameras, we found that there was a noticeable difference in average building rate between the two styles.” the researchers add. In order to rule out a genetic (遗传的) explanation for the different styles, the researchers took honeybees from the groups that built in spiral tradition close to the groups that built in horizontal tradition. The imported honeybees soon learned to build their homes in the local style, which was then passed down to their children as they eventually grew up. “It is very likely that the imported honeybees might have changed the style as a way of correcting the construction errors made by their ancestors.” the researchers suggest. The findings have surprised observers of animal culture, as they suggest that honeybees can learn and hand down different building traditions over generations. This has changed the way of thinking about culture, which is often strictly defined as behaviour directly handed down from human parents to their children until it becomes a tradition in a group. “Insect culture was thought impossible. Less than a century ago, culture was thought to be uniquely human,” says biologist Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews, who was not involved in the research. “But the new research has offered strong evidence pointing to the opposite.” 12. Why do most honeybees prefer a horizontal structure according to the research? A. It is easier to be copied. B. It is a bit stronger. C. It is more comfortable. D. It is faster to build. 13. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5refer to? A. Scientists. B. Traditions. C. Findings. D. Parents. 14. Which word best describes Andrew Whiten’s attitude to the new research? A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Researchers Have Different Views on Animal Culture B. Honeybees May Learn and Preserve Cultural Traditions C. Honeybees Can Learn Building Skills From Their Neighbors D. Researchers Have Misunderstood Honeybees for a Long Time 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明蜜蜂能学习并传承建造巢穴的不同传统，颠覆了文化仅为人类独有的观念，为动物文化提供了有力证据。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Since honeybees showed a strong preference for a horizontal structure, it was surprising that spiral structures occurred at all. “With the help of video cameras, we found that there was a noticeable difference in average building rate between the two styles.” the researchers add.(由于蜜蜂表现出对水平结构的强烈偏好，螺旋结构的出现令人惊讶。“在摄像机的帮助下，我们发现这两种风格的平均建筑速率有明显差异。”研究人员补充道)”可知，摄像机发现水平结构和螺旋结构在建筑速率上有很大的差异。由此可推知，水平结构的风格受到蜜蜂的强烈偏好是因为它比螺旋结构建设起来更快。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子的前半句话“The findings have surprised observers of animal culture(这些发现令动物文化的观察者感到惊讶)”可知，这些发现令动物文化的观察者感到惊讶，因为这些发现表明蜜蜂可以学习并代代相传不同的建筑传统。所以they指代前文中的“The findings”。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Insect culture was thought impossible. Less than a century ago, culture was thought to be uniquely human,” says biologist Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews, who was not involved in the research. “But the new research has offered strong evidence pointing to the opposite.”(“昆虫培养被认为是不可能的。不到一个世纪前，文化被认为是人类独有的，”圣安德鲁斯大学的生物学家安德鲁·怀特说，他没有参与这项研究。“但这项新研究提供了强有力的证据，指向相反的方向。”)”可知，Andrew Whiten认为这项新研究提供了强有力的证据，指向相反的方向。由此可推知，他对这项新的研究持支持或赞许的态度。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Having studied more than 400 groups of honeybees in Brazil for two years, a group of biologists led by Viviana Di Pietro report that, like humans, honeybees are capable of learning new traditions which are then handed down over generations.(Viviana Di Pietro领导的一组生物学家对巴西400多组蜜蜂进行了两年的研究，他们报告说，蜜蜂和人类一样，能够学习新的传统，然后代代相传)”以及全文可知，文章主要介绍了研究表明蜜蜂能学习并传承建造巢穴的不同传统，颠覆了文化仅为人类独有的观念，为动物文化提供了有力证据。所以“蜜蜂可以学习和保护文化传统”适合作文章的标题，既概括了蜜蜂的学习能力也涵盖了文化的传承方面。故选B。 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。 People normally look for a bit of adventure in their lives.

I could write about all of the wonderful things she has done, but I want to focus on one project she does every year that has shaped my whole family and everyone around us: She saves money, and she puts it in a little jar (罐子) that we refer to as “The Charity Jar”. Every year, she takes this money and puts it toward something—an act of kindness, anything that can help someone. Sometimes, she buys something for an organization that needs it. If you ask her about this tradition, she will tell you that she is carrying on something that her mother used to do around the holidays. If you ask anyone else who knows her, however, they will tell you that she has a huge heart. She manages to get our whole family involved (参与) in this movement every year. Last year, she helped an organization where I volunteered—Ruth’s Place—a homeless women’s shelter in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. I had been helping a professor run a writing workshop in the shelter when I noticed the wish list on the wall: warm clothes, a coffee maker and supplies. I told my mom, and within a day, she had already asked if our family wanted to help Ruth’s Place. We all agreed and decided that the coffee maker and supplies would be the best things for our family to work on together. A few days later, Mom found a coffee maker online, and showed it to us. With a few clicks, it was on its way. She also baked(烘焙) fresh chocolate cupcakes for the women in the shelter. We gathered the rest of the supplies and called the shelter to find a day when we could deliver them. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That day I drove my mom to the shelter very slowly. _______________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we left, we were met with heartfelt thanks. _____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 That day I drove my mom to the shelter very slowly. The anticipation of the women’s reactions to our gifts filled the car with a sense of warmth and purpose. As we arrived at the shelter, we were greeted by the grateful faces of the women. My mom, with her usual grace and humility, began to distribute the supplies we had brought. The coffee maker was received with cheers of joy, and the sight of fresh, homemade cupcakes brought smiles to their faces. As we left, we were met with heartfelt thanks. The women at the shelter expressed their gratitude with warm hugs and words of appreciation. Their smiles were the best reward we could have asked for. As we drove away, my mom looked at me with a satisfied smile on her face. That day, I learned more than ever about the power of kindness and the difference one person can make. I realized that my mom, with her Charity Jar, was not just a superhero to me, but to everyone she touched with her acts of kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者的母亲是一个非常善良和慷慨的人。每年，她会存钱进一个小罐子里，这个罐子被称之为“慈善罐”。罐子里的钱会被用于做一些善事，帮助那些需要帮助的人或组织。作者一家都参与到了这一传统中。去年，母亲带着作者支持了一家无家可归妇女收容所。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天，我开车带着妈妈慢慢地前往收容所。”可知，第一段可描述去收容所路上的情形以及到达收容所后作者和母亲做的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们离开时，收到了由衷的感谢。”可知，第二段可描述作者和母亲离开收容所时的情况，以及作者对这次义举的感悟。 2. 续写线索：路上的期待——到达收容所——分发物资——离开——感谢——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①到达收容所：arrive at the shelter/reach the shelter ②分发：distribute/hand out 情绪类 ①使命感：a sense of purpose/a sense of vocation ②感激：grateful/thankful ③满意：satisfied/pleased 【点睛】[高分句型1] As we arrived at the shelter, we were greeted by the grateful faces of the women.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Their smiles were the best reward we could have asked for.（省略了关系代词that的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
