Teachers always do their best within the classroom, but actual learning happens outside those four walls during excursions, says Sherielyn Choi, an English teacher at the all-girls secondary school, Canossa College, in Hong Kong.
“Excursions offer valuable hands-on learning opportunities and help students consolidate (巩固) what they learn at a theoretical level in class,” Choi says. “Additionally, every time our students return from their excursions, I observe that they improve socially and emotionally, with better communication and cooperation skills.”
She speaks from fresh experience since her students recently took part in the educational tour, “Macau Unlocked: A Journey of Discovery for Students 2023-2024”, jointly organised by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) and South China Morning Post.
The day trip has been specially designed for young people to help them learn about Macao’s rich history, vibrant (充满活力的) culture and sustainable practices.
Jayde e Lai, a Year 11 student at Canossa College, says, “I’d never been to Macao before the tour, so as a newcomer, I felt that the tour did a good job of compacting (压缩) Macao’s 400-year history into a day’s event. I definitely learned a lot of fun facts, history and culture of Macao.”
The tour was led by experienced MGTO tour guides, who are knowledgeable about Macao’s history and culture. Students taking part in the tour went to many historic sites that are not often visited, including the Old City Walls, Natacha Temple, the Ruins of St. Paul’s, Macao Museum and Mount Fortress.
Lai says she was most fascinated to learn about some of Macao’s sustainable practices. “Besides the exhibits in the Macao Tea Culture House, we also learned how tea leaf residues (残渣) are recycled to produce items such as cups and even furniture,” she says. “We were asked to smell these products, and they really do smell like tea!”
Choi feels it is great that her students had the opportunity to go on such an interesting tour. “They were talking excitedly about the activities they did and I think it really helped to arouse their curiosity,” she says. “Excursions are truly necessary for students to become well-rounded individuals.”
4. What does the underlined word “excursions” in the first paragraph mean?
A. School hours. B. Social activities.
C. Short journeys. D. Sports competitions.
5. What can we know about the activity?
A. It is a tailored project. B. It is funded by MGTO.
C. It takes traditional routes. D. It better suits newcomers.
6. What impressed Jayde e Lai most?
A. The stories behind the historic sites.
B. The expertise of the local guides.
C. Macao’s sustainable practices.
D. Macao’s vibrant cultural life.
7. How does Sherielyn Choi feel about the event mentioned in the text?
A. She feels it can be perfected.
B. She is highly favourable to it.
C. She is surprised about its effect.
D. She expects more challenging activities.
C
Over the past few years, libraries and archives (档案馆) across the world have worked to digitize their resources. Many have been investing heavily in expanding digital collections for their records. A recent attack on the British Library (BL) has raised some questions about it.
On Oct. 28, 2023, the British Library’s website was hacked, making it nonfunctional for several weeks. The library didn’t restore its home page until Dec. 19, and it was a month before its basic catalogue was searchable again. The bulk (主体) of the library’s online resources will take much longer to restore, leaving students and scholars with research plans across the world in trouble.
Digitization has been a powerful weapon in the battle against both intentional destruction and the neglect of records. It helped scholars preserve the records while also allowing understaffed libraries to preserve materials suffering from the degradation (毁坏) of neglect. It enables users to access records from all over the world, helping them overcome the barriers of geography and the costs of travel. Digitization can help us hold ourselves to account for the past.
The hack at the British Library, however, exposes the vulnerabilities (易受打击) of digitization. It forces us to ask: what happens to our records if a cyberattack severs us from our digital records? Since the BL has physical (if somewhat outdated) catalogues, restoring access for scholars won’t be a mission impossible. But it is still extremely expensive. So what happens if digitized collections in other countries are attacked in the same way? As with the BL, it could prevent our access to physical records by destroying digital catalogues and reference material. That means even though the original physical records may still exist, we may struggle to access or use them effectively. And repairing the damage could require resources that the institutions in question might not have.
Digitization has been a transformative tool for scholars and a valuable shield against the dangers that threaten paper-based historical records. But it’s time to consider the vulnerabilities of digital repositories as well. Fires, theft, and physical neglect are no longer the only major threats archives face: now we must also add ransomware (勒索软件) to the list.
8. What have many libraries and archives focused on recently?
A. Building new facilities. B. Researching their records.
C. Expanding digital collections. D. Collecting historical materials.
9. What impact did the cyberattack against BL have on researchers?
A. Increased workloads. B. Disturbed research plans.
C. Improved computer skills. D. Reduced research funding.
10. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The challenges faced by libraries and archives.
B. The benefits of digitization in preserving records.
C. The importance of physical record-keeping methods.
D. The long-term battle between degradation and restoration.
11. What does the author suggest about the future of digital collections?
A. They will face new threats different from physical ones.
B. They will become the main source of historical records.
C. They will reduce the need for physical archives.
D. They will require less funding for maintenance.
D
You see a woman on the street who looks familiar — but you can’t remember how you know her. Your brain cannot attach any previous experiences to this person. Hours later, you suddenly recall the party at a friend’s house where you met her, and you realize who she is.
In a new study in mice, researchers have discovered the place in the brain that is responsible for both types of familiarity — vague (模糊的) recognition and complete recollection. Both, moreover, are represented by two distinct neural (神经系统的) codes.
The brain’s signature for strangers turns out to be simpler than the one used for old friends — which makes sense, says study co-author Steven Siegelbaum, given the vastly different memory requirements for the two relationships. “Where you were, what you were doing, when you were doing it, who else was there — the memory of a familiar individual is a much richer memory,” Siegelbaum says. “If you’re meeting a stranger, there’s nothing to recollect.”
The action occurs in a small sliver (小块) of a brain region called the hippocampus, known for its importance in forming memories. The sliver in question, known as CA2, seems to specialize in a certain kind of memory used to recall relationships. “The new work really emphasizes the importance of this brain area to social processing, at least in mice,” says Serena Dudek, a neuroscientist at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, who was not involved in the study.
CA2 is unlikely to act alone in this process because it connects to other brain regions that also play roles in social learning, memory and behavior, Dudek says. But if the findings in mice apply to humans, the work could help researchers uncover the roots of social difficulties in people.
From there, researchers might find ways to improve social memory. “How many different disorders of memory are there?” Siegelbaum says. “Do they all involve the same type of changes in neural processing, or are there more specific changes that are associated with different forms of disease?” Having a better way to classify these changes may lead to more targeted treatments, he adds.
12. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To provide an example.
C. To describe a funny experience.
D. To complain about the bad memory.
13. Why is the brain’s signature for strangers simpler than that for old friends?
A. Strangers leave a stronger impression.
B. The brain processes strangers differently.
C. Memories of old friends are easier to recollect.
D. There are different memory requirements to meet.
14. What does the study find about CA2?
A. It connects to other brain regions specialized in learning.
B. It is responsible for refreshing one’s visual memories.
C. It is dedicated to the memory related to relationships.
D. It plays a role in regulating people’s social behavior.
15. What does Siegelbaum suggest about the study?
A. It should include more species.
B. It provides conclusive answers.
C. It deserves more media attention.
D. It needs further research in future.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Truman’s parents were scientists, and he also wanted to be a scientist, so he was determined to be at the top of science subject. With only one week and one assignment to go before the summer holiday, Truman knew that to secure the top spot, his final report had to shine.
The topic was beehives (蜂巢), a subject that Mrs. Lawrence, his teacher, had emphasized the need for a unique perspective to earn an A+.
Truman opened the door to find his four-year-old brother, Bryan, who sat on the floor in the living room with paper tubes all over the floor.
Bryan called, “Truman, help me build a city!”
With a sigh, Truman replied, “I’m sorry, Bryan, but I have to write a report about beehives.” Stepping carefully between the scattered tubes, he went into his room, deep in thought about his project.
Shortly after, Bryan appeared at the door, his eyes sparkling (发亮).“Truman, I know where there’s a beehive,” he said.
Truman followed Bryan to the garage where they found a real beehive hidden among the firewood. Bending down, he removed the beehive from the wood. As Truman examined it closely, he was fascinated by the hexagonal (六边形的) structure of each cell. “Why the hexagon?” he thought.
After dinner, Truman did the dishes. He glanced at the clock. If he didn’t think of something soon, his chance to get an A+ would be slim.
As Truman turned around, he stepped on something. He hadn’t seen Bryan play with paper tubes behind him.
“Get your tubes out of here, Bryan!” Truman said angrily.
Bryan ran into the living room, crying.
Truman sighed and gathered the paper tubes. Suddenly, he found that they were arranged with one in the middle and surrounded by six others. They reminded Truman of the beehive. The center tube formed a hexagon, just like the cells of the hive. Truman tried to use different numbers of tubes to surround the center tube, and then Truman got the new angle. But what else did he need to accompany his report? Maybe a model beehive!
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。
Thinking about this, Truman rushed into the living room, his heart pounding.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bryan smiled and began picking out his tubes.

Teachers always do their best within the classroom, but actual learning happens outside those four walls during excursions, says Sherielyn Choi, an English teacher at the all-girls secondary school, Canossa College, in Hong Kong.
“Excursions offer valuable hands-on learning opportunities and help students consolidate (巩固) what they learn at a theoretical level in class,” Choi says. “Additionally, every time our students return from their excursions, I observe that they improve socially and emotionally, with better communication and cooperation skills.”
She speaks from fresh experience since her students recently took part in the educational tour, “Macau Unlocked: A Journey of Discovery for Students 2023-2024”, jointly organised by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) and South China Morning Post.
The day trip has been specially designed for young people to help them learn about Macao’s rich history, vibrant (充满活力的) culture and sustainable practices.
Jayde e Lai, a Year 11 student at Canossa College, says, “I’d never been to Macao before the tour, so as a newcomer, I felt that the tour did a good job of compacting (压缩) Macao’s 400-year history into a day’s event. I definitely learned a lot of fun facts, history and culture of Macao.”
The tour was led by experienced MGTO tour guides, who are knowledgeable about Macao’s history and culture. Students taking part in the tour went to many historic sites that are not often visited, including the Old City Walls, Natacha Temple, the Ruins of St. Paul’s, Macao Museum and Mount Fortress.
Lai says she was most fascinated to learn about some of Macao’s sustainable practices. “Besides the exhibits in the Macao Tea Culture House we also learned how tea leaf residues (残渣) are recycled to produce items such as cups and even furniture,” she says. “We were asked to smell these products, and they really do smell like tea!”
Choi feels it is great that her students had the opportunity to go on such an interesting tour. “They were talking excitedly about the activities they did and I think it really helped to arouse their curiosity,” she says. “Excursions are truly necessary for students to become well-rounded individuals.”
4. What does the underlined word “excursions” in the first paragraph mean?
A. School hours. B. Social activities.
C. Short journeys. D. Sports competitions.
5. What can we know about the activity?
A. It is a tailored project. B. It is funded by MGTO.
C. It takes traditional routes. D. It better suits newcomers.
6 What impressed Jayde e Lai most?
A. The stories behind the historic sites.

Over the past few years, libraries and archives (档案馆) across the world have worked to digitize their resources. Many have been investing heavily in expanding digital collections for their records. A recent attack on the British Library (BL) has raised some questions about it.
On Oct. 28, 2023, the British Library’s website was hacked, making it nonfunctional for several weeks. The library didn’t restore its home page until Dec. 19, and it was a month before its basic catalogue was searchable again. The bulk (主体) of the library’s online resources will take much longer to restore, leaving students and scholars with research plans across the world in trouble.
Digitization has been a powerful weapon in the battle against both intentional destruction and the neglect of records. It helped scholars preserve the records while also allowing understaffed libraries to preserve materials suffering from the degradation (毁坏) of neglect. It enables users to access records from all over the world, helping them overcome the barriers of geography and the costs of travel. Digitization can help us hold ourselves to account for the past.
The hack at the British Library, however, exposes the vulnerabilities (易受打击) of digitization. It forces us to ask: what happens to our records if a cyberattack severs us from our digital records? Since the BL has physical (if somewhat outdated) catalogues, restoring access for scholars won’t be a mission impossible. But it is still extremely expensive. So what happens if digitized collections in other countries are attacked in the same way? As with the BL, it could prevent our access to physical records by destroying digital catalogues and reference material. That means even though the original physical records may still exist, we may struggle to access or use them effectively. And repairing the damage could require resources that the institutions in question might not have.
Digitization has been a transformative tool for scholars and a valuable shield against the dangers that threaten paper-based historical records. But it’s time to consider the vulnerabilities of digital repositories as well. Fires, theft, and physical neglect are no longer the only major threats archives face: now we must also add ransomware (勒索软件) to the list.
8. What have many libraries and archives focused on recently?
A. Building new facilities. B. Researching their records.
C. Expanding digital collections. D. Collecting historical materials.
9. What impact did the cyberattack against BL have on researchers?
A. Increased workloads. B. Disturbed research plans.
C. Improved computer skills. D. Reduced research funding.
10. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The challenges faced by libraries and archives.
B. The benefits of digitization in preserving records.
C. The importance of physical record-keeping methods.
D. The long-term battle between degradation and restoration.
11. What does the author suggest about the future of digital collections?
A. They will face new threats different from physical ones.
B. They will become the main source of historical records.
C They will reduce the need for physical archives.
D. They will require less funding for maintenance.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A

D
You see a woman on the street who looks familiar — but you can’t remember how you know her. Your brain cannot attach any previous experiences to this person. Hours later, you suddenly recall the party at a friend’s house where you met her, and you realize who she is.
In a new study in mice, researchers have discovered the place in the brain that is responsible for both types of familiarity — vague (模糊的) recognition and complete recollection. Both, moreover, are represented by two distinct neural (神经系统的) codes.
The brain’s signature for strangers turns out to be simpler than the one used for old friends — which makes sense, says study co-author Steven Siegelbaum, given the vastly different memory requirements for the two relationships. “Where you were, what you were doing, when you were doing it, who else was there — the memory of a familiar individual is a much richer memory,” Siegelbaum says. “If you’re meeting a stranger, there’s nothing to recollect.”
The action occurs in a small sliver (小块) of a brain region called the hippocampus, known for its importance in forming memories. The sliver in question, known as CA2, seems to specialize in a certain kind of memory used to recall relationships. “The new work really emphasizes the importance of this brain area to social processing, at least in mice,” says Serena Dudek, a neuroscientist at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, who was not involved in the study.
CA2 is unlikely to act alone in this process because it connects to other brain regions that also play roles in social learning, memory and behavior, Dudek says. But if the findings in mice apply to humans, the work could help researchers uncover the roots of social difficulties in people.
From there, researchers might find ways to improve social memory. “How many different disorders of memory are there?” Siegelbaum says. “Do they all involve the same type of changes in neural processing, or are there more specific changes that are associated with different forms of disease?” Having a better way to classify these changes may lead to more targeted treatments, he adds.
12. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To provide an example.
C. To describe a funny experience.
D. To complain about the bad memory.
13. Why is the brain’s signature for strangers simpler than that for old friends?
A. Strangers leave a stronger impression.
B. The brain processes strangers differently.
C. Memories of old friends are easier to recollect.
D. There are different memory requirements to meet.
14. What does the study find about CA2?
A. It connects to other brain regions specialized in learning.
B. It is responsible for refreshing one’s visual memories.
C. It is dedicated to the memory related to relationships.
D. It plays a role in regulating people’s social behavior.
15. What does Siegelbaum suggest about the study?
A. It should include more species.
B. It provides conclusive answers.
C. It deserves more media attention.
D. It needs further research in future.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于大脑中负责识别熟悉感的区域的新研究。研究发现了小鼠海马体中的CA2区域,该区域对唤起与人际关系有关的记忆具有重要作用。如果这一发现同样适用于人类,研究人员就能找到人类社交障碍的根源,制定更具针对性的治疗方案。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“You see a woman on the street who looks familiar—but you can’t remember how you know her. Your brain cannot attach any previous experiences to this person. Hours later, you suddenly recall the party at a friend’s house where you met her, and you realize who she is. (你在街上看到一个看起来很面熟的女人——但你不记得你是怎么认识她的。你的大脑无法将以往的历与这个人联系起来。几小时后,你突然想起在朋友家的聚会上你遇到了她,你意识到她是谁。)”以及第二段“ In a new study in mice, researchers have discovered the place in the brain that is responsible for both types of familiarity—vague(模糊的) recognition and complete recollection. Both, moreover, are represented by two distinct neural (神经系统的) codes. (在一项针对老鼠的新研究中,研究人员发现了大脑中负责两种类型熟悉的地方——模糊识别和完整回忆。此外,两者都由两种不同的神经编码表示。)”可知,第一段旨在引出下文要介绍的内容:大脑中负责识别熟悉感的区域。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The brain’s signature for strangers turns out to be simpler than the one used for old friends—which makes sense, says study co-author Steven Siegelbaum, given the vastly different memory requirements for the two relationships. (研究报告的合著者史蒂文·西格尔鲍姆说,考虑到这两种关系对记忆的要求截然不同,大脑对陌生人的记忆要比对老朋友的记忆简单得多,这是有道理的。)” 可知,关于陌生人的大脑签名比老朋友的简单,因为我们对于陌生人没有什么可以回想的东西,关于二者我们需要记下的内容不同。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The sliver in question, known as CA2, seems to specialize in a certain kind of memory used to recall relationships. (所讨论的CA2,似乎专门研究一种用来回忆关系的某种记忆。)” 可知,CA2专门用于唤醒与人际关系相关的记忆。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“ ‘How many different disorders of memory are there?” Siegelbaum says. “Do they all involve the same type of changes in neural processing, or are there more specific changes that are associated with different forms of disease?’ Having a better way to classify these changes may lead to more targeted treatments, he adds. (“一共有多少种不同的记忆障碍?”据Siegelbaum说。“它们是否都涉及神经处理过程中相同类型的变化,还是存在与不同形式的疾病相关的更具体的变化?”他补充说,有了更好的方法对这些变化进行分类,可能会导致更有针对性的治疗。)”可知Siegelbaum认为这项研究还有许多可以挖掘的地方,如果继续下去,就有可能让治疗更具针对性。由此可推知,他认为该研究在未来还应继续下去。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。
Biodiversity doesn’t only revolve around species we consider rare and threatened but around every living being. ____16____ Here are some ways to protect biodiversity in your backyard garden.
Pesticides are known to be poisonous to humans, animals, and the Earth. Thus, to protect biodiversity in your yard, avoid using harmful and poisonous chemicals. ____17____ These organic fertilizers provide the necessary nutrients needed for plant growth without harming the Earth. Prevention is the best way to discourage and deal with pests and diseases. Check your plants regularly for unwanted visitors.
Another way to protect biodiversity in your garden is to create various habitats. To do so, you can choose to plant fruit trees or berry bushes and add a bird feeder or other open water sources. Perennials (多年生植物) can provide shelter for some species. ___18___
Plants grow better in their native habitats, where climate and soil are perfect for their development and growth. Plants also form symbiotic (共生的) relationships with other native plants that help them spread their seeds and discourage pests and diseases. ____19____ Easier to build such relationships, native plants require fewer resources to grow healthily compared to non-native plants.
___20___ Plants that aren’t native to your area can be invasive (侵入性的), take over your garden, and threaten the growth and survival of native plants. Their removal provides space for native plants to develop. These plants are part of the local ecosystem in your garden and provide habitat for other animals.
A. Instead, turn to natural pest control and natural fertilizers.
B. Insects aren’t the only reason for the great damage to your plants.
C. Creating a flowering wall is a good way to beautify your backyard.
D. Relationships like this help native plants defend themselves naturally.
E. Balanced biodiversity in your yard positively impacts the environment.
F. Removing invasive and non-native plants leaves more space for other plants.
G. Even a dead tree can also serve as a habitat for insects, birds, and other animals.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何在自己的院子里打造健康的自然生态系统,保护生物多样性。
【16题详解】
上文“Biodiversity doesn’t only revolve around species we consider rare and threatened but around every living being.(生物多样性不仅仅以我们所认为的稀有以及濒临灭绝的物种为中心,而且和每一种生物都息息相关。)”和下文的“Here are some ways to protect biodiversity in your backyard garden.(以下是一些在你的花园里保护生物多样性的方法)”可推知,设空处应与花园里的生物多样性有关,E项“院子里的生物多样性达到平衡,会对环境产生积极的影响”符合语境。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上文的“Pesticides are known to be poisonous to humans, animals, and the Earth. Thus, to protect biodiversity in your yard, avoid using harmful and poisonous chemicals.(众所周知,杀虫剂对人类、动物以及地球都是有毒的。因此,为了保护院子里的生物多样性,应该避免使用有毒和有害的化学物质)”和下文“These organic fertilizers provide the necessary nutrients needed for plant growth without harming the Earth.(这些有机肥料提供了植物生长所必需的营养,但不会危害地球)”可知,空格处引出如何避免使用有毒和有害的化学物质,也就是应对方法,A项“相反,可以转用天然的害虫防治手段和天然肥料。”符合题意。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据本段第一句“Another way to protect biodiversity in your garden is to create various habitats.(另一种保护花园生物多样性的方法是创造各种栖息地。)”可知本段的主旨是保护花园里的生物多样性需要在花园里创造一些栖息地,且根据设空处前一句讲到的“Perennials (多年生植物) can provide shelter for some species.(多年生植物可以为一些物种提供庇护场所)”可知空格处列举一些提供栖息地的例子,将答案定位为G项“枯树甚至也能为昆虫、鸟类和其他动物提供栖息地。”,habitat 是同词复现。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文讲到“Plants grow better in their native habitats, where climate and soil are perfect for their development and growth. Plants also form symbiotic (共生的) relationships with other native plants that help them spread their seeds and discourage pests and diseases. (植物在它们的原生栖息地生长得更好,那里的气候和土壤非常适合它们的生长和发育。植物还与其他本地植物形成共生关系,帮助它们传播种子,防止病虫害。)”由此可以推知空格处填入这种关系带来的影响,D项“像这样的共生关系天然地有助于植物保护自己”符合语境,D项中的Relationships指代的就是上文的symbiotic relationships。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Plants that aren’t native to your area can be invasive (侵入性的), take over your garden, and threaten the growth and survival of native plants. Their removal provides space for native plants to develop. These plants are part of the local ecosystem in your garden and provide habitat for other animals.(你所在地区的非本地植物可能会入侵,占据你的花园,威胁本地植物的生长和生存。它们的移除为本地植物的生长提供了空间。这些植物是你花园中当地生态系统的一部分,并为其他动物提供栖息地。)”可知,本段主要讲外来植物入侵会对本地植物造成危害,F项“清除入侵植物和外来植物从而为其他植物留下更多空间”符合语境,故选F。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Truman’s parents were scientists, and he also wanted to be a scientist, so he was determined to be at the top of science subject. With only one week and one assignment to go before the summer holiday, Truman knew that to secure the top spot, his final report had to shine.
The topic was beehives (蜂巢), a subject that Mrs. Lawrence, his teacher, had emphasized the need for a unique perspective to earn an A+.
Truman opened the door to find his four-year-old brother, Bryan, who sat on the floor in the living room with paper tubes all over the floor.
Bryan called, “Truman, help me build a city!”
With a sigh, Truman replied, “I’m sorry, Bryan, but I have to write a report about beehives.” Stepping carefully between the scattered tubes, he went into his room, deep in thought about his project.
Shortly after, Bryan appeared at the door, his eyes sparkling (发亮).“Truman, I know where there’s a beehive,” he said.
Truman followed Bryan to the garage where they found a real beehive hidden among the firewood. Bending down, he removed the beehive from the wood. As Truman examined it closely, he was fascinated by the hexagonal (六边形的) structure of each cell. “Why the hexagon?” he thought.
After dinner, Truman did the dishes. He glanced at the clock. If he didn’t think of something soon, his chance to get an A+ would be slim.
As Truman turned around, he stepped on something. He hadn’t seen Bryan play with paper tubes behind him.
“Get your tubes out of here, Bryan!” Truman said angrily.
Bryan ran into the living room, crying.
Truman sighed and gathered the paper tubes. Suddenly, he found that they were arranged with one in the middle and surrounded by six others. They reminded Truman of the beehive. The center tube formed a hexagon, just like the cells of the hive. Truman tried to use different numbers of tubes to surround the center tube, and then Truman got the new angle. But what else did he need to accompany his report? Maybe a model beehive!
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。
Thinking about this, Truman rushed into the living room, his heart pounding.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bryan smiled and began picking out his tubes.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Thinking about this, Truman rushed into the living room, his heart pounding. He threw his arms around his brother, his voice trembling with sincerity, “Bryan, I’m deeply sorry that I lost my temper. I never intended to hurt you. And from the bottom of my heart, I thank you.” He continued to tell his brother that these tubes had given him ideas, helping him find his perspective. Therefore, he can finally complete the report! “But,” Truman said, “I have to build a model beehive with these tubes. Can you help me?” “Well,” Bryan said hesitantly, with tears on his face. “You can help me glue them,” Truman offered.
Bryan smiled and began picking out his tubes. Truman opened the drawer near the TV, grabbed a bottle of glue, and showed his brother how to stick the paper tubes. Working together, they made a model beehive. As they compared their creation to the real beehive in the garage, they agreed it was flawless. With his newfound focus, Truman completed his report well ahead of time, introducing a fresh perspective that fascinated his classmates. Mrs. Lawrence awarded him an A+ and praised his efforts in front of the entire class, leaving Truman feeling proud.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述Truman准备暑假作一个主题为蜂巢的报道,但他无法解释为什么蜂巢里的蜂窝都是六边形的,直到他看到弟弟玩的纸筒,有了启发。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“想到这里,Truman冲进客厅,心跳加速。”可以预测续写这段主要内容:Truman向弟弟道歉,并邀请弟弟一起做一个蜂箱模型。
②由第二段首句内容“Bryan笑了笑,开始挑选他的管子。”可以预测续写这段主要内容:Bryan和哥哥一起完成蜂箱模型,Truman完成自己的报道并受到老师的表扬。
2.续写线索: Truman向弟弟道歉——邀请弟弟一起做一个蜂箱模型——Bryan同意帮忙—— Truman完成报道——受到老师的表扬
3.词汇激活行为类
①.发脾气:lose one’s temper/get angry /fly into a temper
②.帮助:help /assist/aid
③.完成:complete/finish/accomplish
心理类
①.遗憾的:sorry/regretful
②.迟疑地:hesitantly/uncertainly
【点睛】[高分句型1]. He continued to tell his brother that these tubes had given him ideas, helping him find his perspective.(运用了that引导的宾语从句和现在分词作状语)
[高分句型2]. “Well,” Bryan said hesitantly, with tears on his face. (运用了with的复合结构)
[高分句型3]. As they compared their creation to the real beehive in the garage, they agreed it was flawless. (运用as引导的时间状语从句和省略that的宾语从句)
