This story of a Plains Indian girl who runs away with a band of wild horses, and eventually becomes one of them, won the Caldecott in 1978. The recognition was well-deserved for its insightful portrayal (描写) of the bond between the human spirit and the wilderness. Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall (For ages 4 to 8) Waves roll by, seasons come and go, keepers tend to their duties, and through it all, the lighthouse stands tall, sending its light out into the darkness, signaling hello to all the ships at sea. The Caldecott winner Sophie Blackall does a significant job showing the timeless nature of lighthouse life—and the change that’s coming. The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander and Kadir Nelson (For ages 6 to 9) One of the most—if not the most—beautiful books on this list. Kadir Nelson’s fancy, photorealistic paintings pair with Kwame Alexander’s powerful words for a tribute (致敬) to decades of Black brilliance, pain and perseverance. “This is one of those texts that really spoke to me; it was beautifully written and I felt it was a really great pairing of words and pictures of an author and an artist,” Nelson said. Harlem by Walter and Christopher (For ages 9 and up) This poem by Walter Dean Myers—a revered elder of children’s literature—celebrates Harlem, where he grew up, full of“ colors loud enough to be heard” and songs first heard in the villages of “Ghana/Mali/Senegal”. His son Christopher’s vivid illustrations, part paint and part collage (拼贴画), don’t talk down to kids, instead pulling them into a lively city. 1. What is the focus of the book The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses? A. The girl’s strong connection with nature. B. The girl’s artistic talent in drawing horses. C. The girl’s expertise in training wild animals. D. The girl’s close relationship with her family. 2. Whose book is recommended for 4-year-old kids? A. Paul Goble’s. B. Sophie Blackall’s. C. Kwa me Alexander and Kadir Nelson’s. D. Walter and Christopher’s. 3. What is special about Harlem? A. It’s a historical account of a famous battle. B. It’s a novel describing life in a quiet village. C. It’s a poem featuring the writer’s hometown. D. It’s a collection of songs from African countries. B Leaving the comfort of my homeland to a foreign land felt like jumping into the unknown. Tall buildings stood high, traffic roared (咆哮), and faces passed quickly, each more unfamiliar than the last. Culture shock took hold of me, its cold hold taking away the happiness from my days. In search of warmth, I found a local animal shelter, a place where I could find some of the comfort I wanted. The shelter was filled with the sounds of barks and meows, a group of animals wanting to connect. There, I met a poor kitten, with eyes that showed the same desire I felt. We quickly became friends, and soon my time was centered around visits to the shelter. One afternoon, as I held the kitten, I started to read out loud from an old book in my bag. Amazingly, the noise quieted down, replaced by quiet attention. The animals, including my furry (毛茸茸的) friend, became calm, watching me closely. Curious about how reading made the animals calm, I. made it a normal habit during my time at the shelter. The stories, from playful to meaningful, connected us. Each reading was a calming routine, a quiet moment in the middle of noise. Slowly, I learned from these kind animals. They taught me to wait patiently as they got used to me. They showed me the importance of just being there and feeling safe when someone reads to them. As time passed, I felt less like a stranger in this new place. The shelter turned into my safe place, the animals, my new family. The kitten, especially, was a sign of hope, showing me that even when things change, some things stay the same. By helping these animals, I got a sense of being part of a community, relief from my loneliness, and learned about love that everyone can understand. As I read to them, I saw my own life story change, not about being out of place but about finding a home in surprising places. 4. How did the writer initially feel about the change in environment? A. Excited. B. Relieved. C. Curious. D. Uneasy. 5. What was the writer’s primary reason for visiting the animal shelter? A. To adopt a lovely pet. B. To offer volunteer services. C. To learn more about the local culture. D. To find a sense of comfort and belonging. 6. How did the animals react to the writer’s reading? A. They became calmer and more attentive. B. They were confused by the reading. C. They became more restless and noisy. D. They maintained their usual activities. 7. What did the writer learn from interacting with the animals? A. The need for a daily routine. B. The importance of patience and love. C. The necessity for comfortable living space. D The value of exploring new cultural experiences. C The summer reading season is here. Some people will opt for paperbacks because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option? According to 2023 data from the literary industry research group Words Rated, when it comes to pulp (纸浆) and paper, print book publishing is the world’s third-largest industrial greenhouse gas producer, and 32 million trees are cut down each year in the United States to make paper for books. So many publishers are switching to on-demand printing. For example, Chronicle Books, are reducing their initial print runs to see how well the titles sell before they print more. “We felt that it was better to have a higher cost and have less waste,” said Chronic le Books president, Tyrrell Mahoney. Publishers are also rethinking book design. It might be a surprise, but certain fonts (字体) can be more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper. Digital reading seems to have a considerable eco-advantage over print because it is paperless, so it saves trees, pulping and shipping. Moreover, tech companies that make e-readers such as Amazon, which sells the market-leading Kindle e-reader, offer recycling programs for old devices. “By choosing e-books as an alternative to print, Kindle readers helped save an estimated 2.3 million metric tons of carbon emissions over a two-year period,” said Corey Badcock, head of Kindle product and marketing. But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, mainly at the producing stage. Their cases are made with fossil-fuel-derived plastics and the minerals in their batteries require resource-heavy mining. Berners-Lee, the author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything , said the average e-reader has a carbon footprint of around 80 pounds. “This means that I’ve got to read about 36 small paperback books-worth on it before you break even,” he said. “If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do,” Berners-Lee said. “But if I buy it, read a couple of books, and decide that I prefer paperback books, then it’s the worst of all worlds.” 8. Why are publishers switching to on-demand printing? A. To further reduce costs. B. To increase market sales. C. To make books more durable. D. To be more environmentally friendly. 9. What is the author’s attitude towards digital devices’ carbon footprint? A. Optimistic. B. Dismissive. C. Objective. D. Defensive. 10. What can we say about the carbon footprint of reading according to Berners-Lee? A. Heavy e-readers will have a lower carbon footprint. B. Paperback readers contribute less to carbon emissions. C. The carbon footprint of reading is unworthy of attention. D. There’s no way to measure the carbon footprint of e-readers. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. An Eco-Debate: Is My E-Reader Really Greener? B. The Decline of Paper: A Look at Modern Publishing C. The Future of Reading: E-ink Technology Advances D. What’s Better for the Climate: A Paper Book or an E-Reader? D In the 1960s and 70s, a series of questionable experiments claimed to prove that plants could behave like humans, and that they had feelings, responded to music and could even take a lie detector test. Though most of those claims have since been proved wrong, climate journalist Zoë Schlanger says a new wave of research suggests that plants are indeed “intelligent” in complex ways. In her new book, The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth, Schlanger, a staff reporter at The Atlantic, writes about how plants use information from the environment, and from the past, to make “choices” for the future. Schlanger notes that some tomato plants, when being eaten by caterpillars (毛毛虫), fill their leaves with a chemical that makes them so unappetizing that the caterpillars start eating each other instead. Corn plants have been known to sample the saliva (唾液) of caterpillars——and then use that information to release a chemical to attract bees that will attack the caterpillars. We have nothing at the moment to suggest that plants feel pain, but do they sense being touched, or sense being eaten, and respond with a series of defensive chemicals that suggest that they really want to prevent whatever’s going on from continuing? Absolutely. So this is where we get into tricky territory. Do we ascribe human concepts like pain... to a plant, even though it has no brain? And we can’t ask it if it feels pain. We have not found pain receptors (感受器) in a plant. But then again, I mean, the devil’s advocate view here is that we only found the mechanoreceptors for pain in humans, like, fairly recently. But we do know plants are receiving inputs all the time. They know when a caterpillar is chewing on them, and they will respond with defensiveness. Schlanger acknowledges that our understanding of plants is still developing—as are the definitions of “intelligence” and “consciousness”. “Science is there for observation and to experiment, but it can’t answer questions about this complicated concept of intelligence and consciousness,” she says. 12. What did experiments in the 1960s and 70s claim about plants? A. They could predict natural disasters. B. They had emotions and could react to music. C. They could solve complex math problems. D. They could communicate with humans. 13. What do tomato plants do when facing caterpillars? A. They signal to other plants for help. B. They let out a cry to warn the insects. C. They make themselves more appetizing. D. They produce a chemical to defend themselves. 14. What does the underlined word “ascribe” mean in Paragraph 5? A. Apply. B. Reduce. C. Translate. D. Limit. 15. What does the text suggest about the definitions of “intelligence” and “consciousness”? A. They are outdated and no longer relevant. B They are too complex for scientific study. C. They are still developing and subject to change. D. They are well-established and universally agreed upon. 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。 Choosing a career goal is a personal exercise in figuring out what’s most important to you and your life. ___16___.

The supermarket was crowded with shoppers grabbing their weekly groceries. I was no exception, purchasing fresh produce and a few comfort food items, and then I reached the checkout line. As the cashier scanned my items and I reached for my wallet, my heart sank. It was missing. No cash, no cards, just an empty pocket and a growing sense of panic. “I’m so sorry” I stammered (结结巴巴地说), my face burning red as I began to gather my groceries, ready to make my embarrassed retreat. But a calm voice from behind interrupted my retreat. “No worries at all,” a stranger said in a comforting tone. “I’ll cover this.”‘ I turned to see a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile, holding out her card to the cashier. She had a cart full of her own groceries, yet here she was, offering to pay for a stranger’s mistake. “Are you sure?” I asked, my voice filled with a mix of gratitude and disbelief. “Absolutely,” she replied. “But I’ll need something from you in return.” “Anything, ”I said, ready to do whatever it took to repay her kindness. “Promise me you’ll pay it forward,” she said, her gaze (目光) meeting mine with a sincerity that touched my heart. I nodded, my promise as firm as the resolve to make a difference. “I promise.” As I left the store with my groceries, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had just been given a gift—a chance to make a difference in someone else’s life. Months later, I found myself driving through a quiet countryside, the scenery passing by peacefully. Up ahead, I noticed a lone figure by the roadside, a backpacker with her thumb out, trying to ask for a ride. Car after car sped past, leaving her in their dust. Something about her lone figure touched my heart. 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。 I slowed down and pulled over. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we parted, I handed her some cash and said, “For your bus ticket home.” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 沧州市2023—2024学年第二学期期末教学质量监测 高二英语 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级和考号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例:How much is the shirt?

Tall buildings stood high, traffic roared (咆哮), and faces passed quickly, each more unfamiliar than the last. Culture shock took hold of me, its cold hold taking away the happiness from my days. In search of warmth, I found a local animal shelter, a place where I could find some of the comfort I wanted. The shelter was filled with the sounds of barks and meows, a group of animals wanting to connect. There, I met a poor kitten, with eyes that showed the same desire I felt. We quickly became friends, and soon my time was centered around visits to the shelter. One afternoon, as I held the kitten, I started to read out loud from an old book in my bag. Amazingly, the noise quieted down, replaced by quiet attention. The animals, including my furry (毛茸茸的) friend, became calm, watching me closely. Curious about how reading made the animals calm, I. made it a normal habit during my time at the shelter. The stories, from playful to meaningful, connected us. Each reading was a calming routine, a quiet moment in the middle of noise. Slowly, I learned from these kind animals. They taught me to wait patiently as they got used to me. They showed me the importance of just being there and feeling safe when someone reads to them. As time passed, I felt less like a stranger in this new place. The shelter turned into my safe place, the animals, my new family. The kitten, especially, was a sign of hope, showing me that even when things change, some things stay the same. By helping these animals, I got a sense of being part of a community, relief from my loneliness, and learned about love that everyone can understand. As I read to them, I saw my own life story change, not about being out of place but about finding a home in surprising places. 4. How did the writer initially feel about the change in environment? A. Excited. B. Relieved. C. Curious. D. Uneasy. 5. What was the writer’s primary reason for visiting the animal shelter? A. To adopt a lovely pet. B. To offer volunteer services. C.

They were confused by the reading. C. They became more restless and noisy. D. They maintained their usual activities. 7. What did the writer learn from interacting with the animals? A The need for a daily routine. B. The importance of patience and love. C. The necessity for comfortable living space. D. The value of exploring new cultural experiences. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者离开家乡到一个陌生国度的经历，通过在动物收容所与动物互动，找到了安慰和归属感，同时也学到了耐心和爱的重要性。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Leaving the comfort of my homeland to a foreign land felt like jumping into the unknown. Tall buildings stood high, traffic roared (咆哮), and faces passed quickly, each more unfamiliar than the last. Culture shock took hold of me, its cold hold taking away the happiness from my days.(离开舒适的祖国到异国他乡，感觉就像跳进了未知的世界。高楼大厦高高耸立，车流咆哮，面孔快速掠过，每一张都比上一张更加陌生。文化冲击席卷了我，它的冷酷夺走了我生活中的快乐)”可知，作者离开祖国，来到异国他乡，感受到文化冲击的影响，夺走了自己生活中的快乐，由此可知，作者最初对环境的变化感觉不不安。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In search of warmth, I found a local animal shelter, a place where I could find some of the comfort I wanted. The shelter was filled with the sounds of barks and meows, a group of animals wanting to connect. There, I met a poor kitten, with eyes that showed the same desire I felt. (为了寻找温暖，我找到了当地的一个动物收容所，在那里我可以找到一些我想要的安慰。收容所里到处都是吠叫和猫叫的声音，一群动物想要建立联系。在那里，我遇到了一只可怜的小猫，它的眼睛里流露出和我一样的渴望)”可知，作者去动物收容所的主要原因是为了寻找安慰和归属感。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One afternoon, as I held the kitten, I started to read out loud from an old book in my bag.

Some people will opt for paperbacks because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option? According to 2023 data from the literary industry research group Words Rated, when it comes to pulp (纸浆) and paper, print book publishing is the world’s third-largest industrial greenhouse gas producer, and 32 million trees are cut down each year in the United States to make paper for books. So many publishers are switching to on-demand printing. For example, Chronicle Books, are reducing their initial print runs to see how well the titles sell before they print more. “We felt that it was better to have a higher cost and have less waste,” said Chronic le Books president, Tyrrell Mahoney. Publishers are also rethinking book design. It might be a surprise, but certain fonts (字体) can be more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper. Digital reading seems to have a considerable eco-advantage over print because it is paperless, so it saves trees, pulping and shipping. Moreover, tech companies that make e-readers such as Amazon, which sells the market-leading Kindle e-reader, offer recycling programs for old devices. “By choosing e-books as an alternative to print, Kindle readers helped save an estimated 2.3 million metric tons of carbon emissions over a two-year period,” said Corey Badcock, head of Kindle product and marketing. But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, mainly at the producing stage. Their cases are made with fossil-fuel-derived plastics and the minerals in their batteries require resource-heavy mining. Berners-Lee, the author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything , said the average e-reader has a carbon footprint of around 80 pounds. “This means that I’ve got to read about 36 small paperback books-worth on it before you break even,” he said. “If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do,” Berners-Lee said. “But if I buy it, read a couple of books, and decide that I prefer paperback books, then it’s the worst of all worlds.” 8. Why are publishers switching to on-demand printing? A. To further reduce costs. B. To increase market sales. C. To make books more durable. D. To be more environmentally friendly. 9. What is the author’s attitude towards digital devices’ carbon footprint? A. Optimistic. B. Dismissive. C. Objective. D. Defensive. 10. What can we say about the carbon footprint of reading according to Berners-Lee? A. Heavy e-readers will have a lower carbon footprint. B. Paperback readers contribute less to carbon emissions. C. The carbon footprint of reading is unworthy of attention. D. There’s no way to measure the carbon footprint of e-readers. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. An Eco-Debate: Is My E-Reader Really Greener? B. The Decline of Paper: A Look at Modern Publishing C. The Future of Reading: E-ink Technology Advances D. What’s Better for the Climate: A Paper Book or an E-Reader? 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要谈论了纸质书和电子阅读器，哪个更环保。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“According to 2023 data from the literary industry research group Words Rated, when it comes to pulp (纸浆) and paper, print book publishing is the world’s third-largest industrial greenhouse gas producer, and 32 million trees are cut down each year in the United States to make paper for books. (根据文学产业研究机构Words Rated 2023年的数据，在纸浆和纸张方面，印刷图书出版业是世界第三大工业温室气体排放国，美国每年有3200万棵树被砍伐，用于制造书籍的纸张。)”和第三段中“So many publishers are switching to on-demand printing.( 因此，许多出版商正在转向按需印刷。)”可知，出版商转向按需印刷是因为这样更环保。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“By choosing e-books as an alternative to print, Kindle readers helped save an estimated2.3 million metric tons of carbon emissions over a two-year period (通过选择电子书代替纸质书，Kindle阅读器在两年的时间里减少了230万吨的碳排放。)”和第七段“But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, mainly at the producing stage.(但数字设备也会产生大量的碳足迹，主要是在生产阶段。)”可知，作者客观陈述了数字设备的碳足迹。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do.(如果你买了一个电子阅读器，然后在上面读了很多很多的书，那么这是碳排放最低的事情。)”可知，Berners-Lee认为容量大的电子阅读器的碳足迹较低。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读前文，根据第一段中“Some people will opt for paperbacks because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option? (有些人会选择平装书，因为它们很容易借阅和分享。其他人则会选择电子阅读器。但哪一个是更环保的可持续选择呢？)”可知，本文主要谈论了纸质书和电子阅读器，哪个更环保。D“哪个对气候更好：纸质书还是电子阅读器？”符合主题，故选D项。 D In the 1960s and 70s, a series of questionable experiments claimed to prove that plants could behave like humans, and that they had feelings, responded to music and could even take a lie detector test. Though most of those claims have since been proved wrong, climate journalist Zoë Schlanger says a new wave of research suggests that plants are indeed “intelligent” in complex ways. In her new book, The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth, Schlanger, a staff reporter at The Atlantic, writes about how plants use information from the environment, and from the past, to make “choices” for the future. Schlanger notes that some tomato plants, when being eaten by caterpillars (毛毛虫), fill their leaves with a chemical that makes them so unappetizing that the caterpillars start eating each other instead. Corn plants have been known to sample the saliva (唾液) of caterpillars——and then use that information to release a chemical to attract bees that will attack the caterpillars. We have nothing at the moment to suggest that plants feel pain, but do they sense being touched, or sense being eaten, and respond with a series of defensive chemicals that suggest that they really want to prevent whatever’s going on from continuing? Absolutely. So this is where we get into tricky territory. Do we ascribe human concepts like pain... to a plant, even though it has no brain? And we can’t ask it if it feels pain. We have not found pain receptors (感受器) in a plant. But then again, I mean, the devil’s advocate view here is that we only found the mechanoreceptors for pain in humans, like, fairly recently. But we do know plants are receiving inputs all the time. They know when a caterpillar is chewing on them, and they will respond with defensiveness. Schlanger acknowledges that our understanding of plants is still developing—as are the definitions of “intelligence” and “consciousness”. “Science is there for observation and to experiment, but it can’t answer questions about this complicated concept of intelligence and consciousness,” she says. 12. What did experiments in the 1960s and 70s claim about plants? A. They could predict natural disasters. B. They had emotions and could react to music. C. They could solve complex math problems. D. They could communicate with humans. 13. What do tomato plants do when facing caterpillars? A. They signal to other plants for help. B. They let out a cry to warn the insects. C. They make themselves more appetizing. D. They produce a chemical to defend themselves. 14. What does the underlined word “ascribe” mean in Paragraph 5? A. Apply. B. Reduce. C. Translate. D. Limit. 15. What does the text suggest about the definitions of “intelligence” and “consciousness”? A. They are outdated and no longer relevant. B. They are too complex for scientific study. C. They are still developing and subject to change. D. They are well-established and universally agreed upon. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了20 世纪 60 年代和 70 年代，一系列实验声称可以证明植物可以像人类一样行动，它们有感情，对音乐有反应，甚至可以接受测谎测试。尽管这些说法大部分后来被证明是错误的，但是新一轮研究表明植物确实以复杂的方式表现出“聪明”的行为。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the 1960s and 70s, a series of questionable experiments claimed to prove that plants could behave like humans, and that they had feelings, responded to music and could even take a lie detector test.(在 20 世纪 60 年代和 70 年代，一系列值得怀疑的实验声称可以证明植物可以像人类一样行动，它们有感情，对音乐有反应，甚至可以通过测谎仪测试。)”可知，20 世纪 60 年代和 70 年代的实验认为植物有情感，可以对音乐做出反应。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Schlanger notes that some tomato plants, when being eaten by caterpillars (毛毛虫), fill their leaves with a chemical that makes them so unappetizing that the caterpillars start eating each other instead.(施兰格注意到，有些番茄植株在被毛毛虫吃掉后，叶子里会充满一种化学物质，让它们变得毫无食欲，以致毛毛虫开始互相吞食。)”可知，面对毛虫时，番茄植株会产生一种化学物质来保护自己。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句中以及下文“Do we ascribe human concepts like pain... to a plant, even though it has no brain? And we can’t ask it if it feels pain. We have not found pain receptors (感受器) in a plant(尽管植物没有大脑，我们是否能将人类的疼痛概念ascribe植物？我们也无法询问植物是否能感觉到疼痛。我们还没有在植物身上发现疼痛受体)”可知，人类无法询问植物是否能感觉到疼痛，也没有在植物身上发现疼痛受体，由此可推知，此处提出疑问，即是否人类能将人类的疼痛概念应用到植物上，由此可知，划线单词意为“应用”，故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Schlanger acknowledges that our understanding of plants is still developing—as are the definitions of “intelligence” and “consciousness”.(施兰格承认，我们对植物的理解仍在发展中——“智力”和“意识”的定义也在发展中。)”可知，文章认为“智力”和“意识”仍在发展，可能会发生变化。故选C。 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。 Choosing a career goal is a personal exercise in figuring out what’s most important to you and your life. ___16___.

I was no exception, purchasing fresh produce and a few comfort food items, and then I reached the checkout line. As the cashier scanned my items and I reached for my wallet, my heart sank. It was missing. No cash, no cards, just an empty pocket and a growing sense of panic. “I’m so sorry,” I stammered (结结巴巴地说), my face burning red as I began to gather my groceries, ready to make my embarrassed retreat. But a calm voice from behind interrupted my retreat. “No worries at all,” a stranger said in a comforting tone. “I’ll cover this.”‘ I turned to see a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile, holding out her card to the cashier. She had a cart full of her own groceries, yet here she was, offering to pay for a stranger’s mistake. “Are you sure?” I asked, my voice filled with a mix of gratitude and disbelief. “Absolutely,” she replied. “But I’ll need something from you in return.” “Anything, ”I said, ready to do whatever it took to repay her kindness. “Promise me you’ll pay it forward,” she said, her gaze (目光) meeting mine with a sincerity that touched my heart. I nodded, my promise as firm as the resolve to make a difference. “I promise.” As I left the store with my groceries, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had just been given a gift—a chance to make a difference in someone else’s life. Months later, I found myself driving through a quiet countryside, the scenery passing by peacefully. Up ahead, I noticed a lone figure by the roadside, a backpacker with her thumb out, trying to ask for a ride. Car after car sped past, leaving her in their dust. Something about her lone figure touched my heart. 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。 I slowed down and pulled over. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we parted, I handed her some cash and said, “For your bus ticket home.” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I slowed down and pulled over. “Need a lift?” I asked, rolling down the window. Her face lit up with relief and gratitude. “Yes, please,” she said, climbing into my car. We chatted as we drove. She told me that she had waited there for hours. She was about to give up when I stopped. And she told me her stories of adventure and excitement. When she mentioned she was short on funds and needed to get home, I knew what I had to do. As we parted, I handed her some cash and said, “For your bus ticket home.” “I can’t take this,” she refused, her eyes wide with surprise. “You can,” I insisted. “And one day, when you can, pay it forward.” Then we parted. As I continued my drive, I was filled with a renewed sense of purpose and a heart full of hope. I know I choose to pay it forward, not for recognition or reward, but because I believe in the power of kindness to change lives, one small act at a time. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在超市购物时丢失了钱包，得到了一位陌生女士的帮助，作者向女士承诺会将这份善意传递下去。几个月后，作者在开车的路上，注意到路边有一个试图搭车的人，她孤独的身影触动了作者的心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我放慢车速，把车停在路边。”可知，第一段可描写作者让对方搭车，对方表达感激并解释自己需要搭车的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我们分开时，我递给她一些现金，说：“给你回家的公共汽车票。””可知，第二段可描写作者请对方将善意传递下去，作者继续前行，充满目标感和希望。 2.续写线索：让对方搭车——对方表达感激——对方解释需要搭车的原因——作者赠送现金给对方——请求对方传递善意——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①知道：know/be aware of ②拒绝：refuse/reject ③选择：choose/select 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/thankfulness ②惊讶地：with surprise/surprisedly 【点睛】【高分句型1】We chatted as we drove.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】When she mentioned she was short on funds and needed to get home, I knew what I had to do.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句，省略that引导的宾语从句，what引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
