Breeding and Research Lab Go behind the scenes to our bird nursery, where eggs and chicks receive expert care. See how we nurture our adorable birds! Here’s what our visitor, Mr Ahmed has to say... When I was little, my father, who loves nature, would often take me to Bird Paradise Park. We never missed the bird shows and were awed by the birds’ show-stop ping antics. I loved watching the interactive feeding sessions and learning more about the birds. Now that I’m a father myself. I make it a point to bring my family here. Though my sons do not share my passion for feeding the birds, they’re always thrilled by the bird shows. I’m glad that the park is starting a campaign on saving the Blue Parrots from extinction. This park is fully funded by the Tan Foundation—a community effort to educate the public about wildlife conservation. 1. Which of the following educates visitors about the life cycle of birds? A. Bird Shows. B. Sunbird Loft. C. Penguin Walk. D. Breeding and Research Lab. 2. What do Mr. Ahmed’s sons like to do in the bird park? A. Enjoy the waterfall. B. Save the parrots. C. Feed the birds. D. Watch bird shows. 3. What do we know about the bird park? A. Its admission price is not a fixed amount. B. It wants the public to feed rare blue parrots. C. It is a theme park built by the Tan Foundation. D. It raises funds from the sale of the bird shows. B That summer, I had my first selection test and later, the name list of the qualified candidates was posted on a noticeboard in the hallway. The other students ran to the wall and searched for their names on the list. Then, some screamed in excitement while some slicked away angrily. Following the success of my audition, I was placed in the orchestra and I was in the middle of the violin section. However, I was too short to see the conductor as I was blocked by Gordon, an eleven-year-old boy in front of me. The conductor told him to switch seats with me. In the orchestra, if you were seated in the front near the conductor, you had to be excellent. I understood the gravity of the seating arrangement. On hearing the conductor’s words, Gordon looked stricken. “Everyone will think she did better than me in the audition!” he burst. During the break, Gordon told me that we would both perform in front of the group. Whoever played it better would win. Returning to class, Gordon brought up his idea to the conductor at once. The conductor agreed and the challenge was scheduled for the following day. After class, I told my father about the challenge. I waited for him to tell me that he would not let any boy pick on me. Instead, he grabbed a music stand and told me to start practising. For fifteen minutes, my father kept barking orders. “Faster!” “Posture!” “Watch your rhythm!” Then, he said, “OK. Just play like that. May the best man win.” I gave my father a wink, feeling optimistic about the challenge. Maybe I should have expected as much. When we played chess, my father always won. He said if he had eased up and let me win, that would be cheating. It was the first lesson I remembered from my father: Work hard and do not be afraid of losing. If you do lose, pick yourself up and you’ll succeed some day. 4. Why did some students slick away angrily? A. They were too short to be qualified. B. They did not pass the selection test. C. They were laughed at for their failure. D. They hated the other students’ scream. 5 What does the underlined word “audition” mean in Paragraph 2? A. A trial performance. B. A close match. C. A serious dialogue. D. A careful choice. 6. What can we infer about the seats in the orchestra? A. They are decided by the age of performers. B. They actually depend on the height of performers. C. They can be flexibly switched in different performances. D. They are arranged according to the importance of performers. 7. What lesson did the author learn from his father? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Great minds think the same. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. C Ships are the lifeline of trade among countries. Almost everything, from food to machinery, comes by way of the sea in huge ships piloted by captains. But the captain of a ship is responsible for guiding the vessel until they hit a port, waiting to enter the harbor. The task of bringing the ship into the harbor and docking it is taken up by a different captain. This captain is called a marine pilot. A marine pilot is a boat pilot with specialized knowledge of a particular port or harbor. The pilot is needed to direct large ships into a port, where there are often deep-water channels surrounded by shallower seabeds. Without the services of a marine pilot, docking ships would be hazardous. There would be a real chance of running aground and damaging the ship and the cargo, some of which might be dangerous if released into a water-based ecosystem. In addition to the shallower seabeds, tide and wind pose further challenges for bringing ships into a port. During different tides, currents may change from one direction to the other. The same strategy for docking a ship during an incoming tide may not work during an outgoing tide. Also, the wind can significantly alter the direction of the ship and how it reacts, adding to the difficulty of docking the ship. Marine pilotage is a job that requires a high degree of proficiency as well as quick and independent thinking. Above all, it is about risk management. A marine pilot goes on board at a crucial time and controls the ship based on his or her knowledge of the port and the situation at hand. The pilot is responsible for not only the safety of the ship but also the protection of the port and the marine environment. 8. What is the passage mainly about? A. A special profession. B. Shipping and trading. C. Guidelines for safe docking. D. Protection of the marine environment. 9. Which of the following is part of the knowledge that a marine pilot must have? A. The value of the ships. B. The content of the cargo. C. The weather conditions. D. The diversity of marine life. 10. What does “a crucial time” in the last paragraph refer to? A. When the ship departs from port. B. When the channel is not deep enough. C. When there is a crash of two ships. D. When a ship is waiting to enter the port. 11 How does the author conclude the passage in the last paragraph? A. By adding new details. B. By predicting future development. C. By summarizing the main points. D. By giving advice to the general public. D People who speak two languages may be better at shifting their attention from one thing to another compared to those who speak one, according to a study published this month in the journal Bilingualism. The study examined differences between bilingual and monolingual individuals when it comes to attentional control and ignoring information that isn’t important at the time, said its authors Grace deMeurisse and Edith Kaan. They set out to see if differences between the two groups would surface and used a task to measure the participants’ abilities to deal with incoming information and control their attention. “Our results showed that bilinguals seem to be more efficient at ignoring information that’s irrelevant.” deMeurisse said. “One explanation for this is that bilinguals are constantly switching between two languages and need to shift their attention away from the language not in use.” For example, if an English-and Spanish-speaking person is having a conversation in Spanish, both languages are active, but English is put on hold but always ready to be used as needed. The two groups of subjects included functional monolinguals and bilinguals. Functional monolinguals were defined as those who had two years or less of a foreign language experience in a classroom and use only the first language that they learned as a child. Bilinguals were categorized as people who had learned both their first and second language before the ages of 9 to 12 and were still using both languages. Kaan explained that an individual’s cognitive(认知的) traits continuously adapt to external factors. The researchers were also clear to point out that their study was not intended to show that people who speak two or more languages have an advantage over those who speak one. “However, regardless of cognitive differences, learning a second language is always going to be something that can benefit you, whether those benefits are cognitive, social, or environmental.” deMeurisse said. “It will never be a negative to be exposed to a second language.” 12. What is the finding of the study? A Speaking two languages contributes to the development of brain. B. Bilinguals are more competent to deal with incoming information. C. The bilingual brain may be better at ignoring irrelevant information. D. The differences between bilinguals and monolinguals are distinct. 13. Why is an English-and-Spanish-speaking person mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To present the fact of bilinguals having advantages. B. To explain the flexible switching ability of bilinguals. C. To clarify the concept of bilinguals and monolinguals. D. To predict the bright future of learning two languages. 14. Which of the 8-year-old boys can be called a functional monolingual? A. An American boy who is a Chinese beginning learner. B. A Japanese boy who’s good at English and often uses it in life. C. A Chinese boy who’s learning English, but uses Chinese only. D. A French boy who uses both French and English in his daily life. 15. What is the purpose of the study? A. To raise people’s awareness of being a bilingual. B. To confirm the benefits of learning more languages. C. To emphasize the importance of learning foreign languages. D. To find cognitive differences between bilinguals and monolinguals. 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 many of you prefer to skip breakfast when you travel because you want to sleep in?

Spending his days on his family’s farm in Tulelake, California, Miles loved exploring the animals and rural environment around him. But, there was one thing he loved more than his adventures on the farm, and it was his love for the superhero, Batman. Miles and his dad shared a nightly routine of sitting in the couch and watching an episode of Adam West’s Batman series. Between Batman themed pajamas (睡衣), slippers, bedding, and much more, the caped superhero had officially taken over their home. And when everything in life was going wonderfully, shy of Miles’ second birthday, his parents noticed a dramatic change in their little boy. In the blink of an eye, Miles and his family’s lives had been transformed from absolute joy and normalcy to complete misery. One doctor’s appointment had changed the entire course of their lives. Miles went from being a healthy, active boy to feeling inactive and unwell. After running tests and blood-work, doctors had made a heart-breaking discovery. Miles had leukemia (白血病), the most common type of cancer in children and teens. The unexpected diagnosis of their little boy was completely shocking. After months of chemotherapy (化疗) and radiation, little Miles had become increasingly weak and painful. At such a young age, it had become difficult trying to explain to little Miles why he had to suffer. And whenever Miles’ pain became unbearable, his parents, Nick and Natalie, knew exactly what to do to comfort and uplift him. Watching Batman would light up his face, and bring out a smile every time. After years of battling the severe disease, Miles had just turned five, and although he had grown, his love for Batman remained. Close to the end of his treatment and in recovery, Nick and Natalie asked their little boy what he had wished for, and without any hesitation, he wanted to be his hero, Batman. 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。 If Miles wanted to be Batman, then they would make it happen. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day finally came for Miles to wear his new costume. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1.

The other students ran to the wall and searched for their names on the list. Then, some screamed in excitement while some slicked away angrily. Following the success of my audition, I was placed in the orchestra and I was in the middle of the violin section. However, I was too short to see the conductor as I was blocked by Gordon, an eleven-year-old boy in front of me. The conductor told him to switch seats with me. In the orchestra, if you were seated in the front near the conductor, you had to be excellent. I understood the gravity of the seating arrangement. On hearing the conductor’s words, Gordon looked stricken. “Everyone will think she did better than me in the audition!” he burst. During the break, Gordon told me that we would both perform in front of the group. Whoever played it better would win. Returning to class, Gordon brought up his idea to the conductor at once. The conductor agreed and the challenge was scheduled for the following day. After class, I told my father about the challenge. I waited for him to tell me that he would not let any boy pick on me. Instead, he grabbed a music stand and told me to start practising. For fifteen minutes, my father kept barking orders. “Faster!” “Posture!” “Watch your rhythm!” Then, he said, “OK. Just play like that. May the best man win.” I gave my father a wink, feeling optimistic about the challenge. Maybe I should have expected as much. When we played chess, my father always won. He said if he had eased up and let me win, that would be cheating. It was the first lesson I remembered from my father: Work hard and do not be afraid of losing. If you do lose, pick yourself up and you’ll succeed some day. 4. Why did some students slick away angrily? A. They were too short to be qualified. B. They did not pass the selection test. C. They were laughed at for their failure. D. They hated the other students’ scream. 5. What does the underlined word “audition” mean in Paragraph 2? A. A trial performance. B. A close match. C. A serious dialogue. D. A careful choice. 6. What can we infer about the seats in the orchestra? A. They are decided by the age of performers. B. They actually depend on the height of performers. C. They can be flexibly switched in different performances. D. They are arranged according to the importance of performers. 7. What lesson did the author learn from his father? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Great minds think the same. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Every cloud has a silver lining. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7.

The other students ran to the wall and searched for their names on the list. Then, some screamed in excitement while some slicked away angrily.(那年夏天，我参加了第一次选拔考试，随后，合格候选人的名单就贴在了走廊的布告栏上。其他学生跑到墙边，在名单上寻找自己的名字。然后，有些人兴奋地尖叫，有些人愤怒地溜走了)”可知，有些学生愤然离去因为没有通过选拔测试。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“That summer, I had my first selection test and later, the name list of the qualified candidates was posted on a noticeboard in the hallway.(那年夏天，我参加了第一次选拔考试，随后，合格候选人的名单就贴在了走廊的布告栏上)”可知，作者通过了选拔考试，即试演，被安排到了管弦乐队，在小提琴部的中间。故划线词意思是“试演”。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In the orchestra, if you were seated in the front near the conductor, you had to be excellent. I understood the gravity of the seating arrangement.(在管弦乐队里，如果你坐在前排，靠近指挥，你必须非常出色。我明白座位安排的重要性)”可知，管弦乐队的座位是根据表演者的重要性来安排的。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It was the first lesson I remembered from my father: Work hard and do not be afraid of losing. If you do lose, pick yourself up and you’ll succeed some day.(这是我从父亲那里学到的第一课：努力工作，不要害怕失败。如果你失败了，振作起来，总有一天你会成功的。)”可知，作者从他父亲那里学到了失败是成功之母。故选C。 C Ships are the lifeline of trade among countries. Almost everything, from food to machinery, comes by way of the sea in huge ships piloted by captains. But the captain of a ship is responsible for guiding the vessel until they hit a port, waiting to enter the harbor. The task of bringing the ship into the harbor and docking it is taken up by a different captain. This captain is called a marine pilot. A marine pilot is a boat pilot with specialized knowledge of a particular port or harbor. The pilot is needed to direct large ships into a port, where there are often deep-water channels surrounded by shallower seabeds. Without the services of a marine pilot, docking ships would be hazardous. There would be a real chance of running aground and damaging the ship and the cargo, some of which might be dangerous if released into a water-based ecosystem. In addition to the shallower seabeds, tide and wind pose further challenges for bringing ships into a port. During different tides, currents may change from one direction to the other. The same strategy for docking a ship during an incoming tide may not work during an outgoing tide. Also, the wind can significantly alter the direction of the ship and how it reacts, adding to the difficulty of docking the ship. Marine pilotage is a job that requires a high degree of proficiency as well as quick and independent thinking. Above all, it is about risk management. A marine pilot goes on board at a crucial time and controls the ship based on his or her knowledge of the port and the situation at hand. The pilot is responsible for not only the safety of the ship but also the protection of the port and the marine environment. 8. What is the passage mainly about? A. A special profession. B. Shipping and trading. C. Guidelines for safe docking. D. Protection of the marine environment. 9. Which of the following is part of the knowledge that a marine pilot must have? A. The value of the ships. B. The content of the cargo. C. The weather conditions. D. The diversity of marine life. 10. What does “a crucial time” in the last paragraph refer to? A. When the ship departs from port. B. When the channel is not deep enough. C. When there is a crash of two ships. D. When a ship is waiting to enter the port. 11. How does the author conclude the passage in the last paragraph? A. By adding new details. B. By predicting future development. C. By summarizing the main points. D. By giving advice to the general public. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了海洋领航员这份特殊的职业及其工作内容。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“This captain is called a marine pilot.”（这个船长被称为海洋领航员。）及第二段第一句“A marine pilot is a boat pilot with specialized knowledge of a particular port or harbor.”（海洋领航员是指对某一港口或港口有专门知识的领航员。）及最后一段第一句“Marine pilotage is a job that requires a high degree of proficiency as well as quick and independent thinking.”（海上引航是一项要求熟练程度高、思维敏捷、独立的工作。）并结合全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了海洋领航员这份特殊的职业及其工作内容。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In addition to the shallower seabeds, tide and wind pose further challenges for bringing ships into a port. During different tides, currents may change from one direction to the other. The same strategy for docking a ship during an incoming tide may not work during an outgoing tide. Also, the wind can significantly alter the direction of the ship and how it reacts, adding to the difficulty of docking the ship.”（除了较浅的海床，潮汐和风也给船只进港带来了进一步的挑战。在不同的潮汐期间，水流可能从一个方向转向另一个方向。在涨潮时靠岸的同样策略在退潮时可能行不通。此外，风可以显著改变船舶的方向及其反应，增加了船舶停靠的难度。）可知，天气状况会给船只进港带来挑战，海洋领航员需要具有气象方面的知识，才能安全指引船只进港。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段第三句“A marine pilot goes on board at a crucial time and controls the ship based on his or her knowledge of the port and the situation at hand.”（引航员在关键时刻上船，根据他或她对港口和手头情况的了解来控制船舶。）并结合第一句最后两句“The task of bringing the ship into the harbor and docking it is taken up by a different captain. This captain is called a marine pilot.”（把船带进港口并靠岸的任务由另一个船长承担。这个船长被称为海洋领航员。）可知，海洋领航员的任务是把船带进港口并靠岸，故引航员会在当一艘船等待进港时上船指挥，故a crucial time指代“一艘船等待进港的时刻”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Marine pilotage is a job that requires a high degree of proficiency as well as quick and independent thinking. Above all, it is about risk management. A marine pilot goes on board at a crucial time and controls the ship based on his or her knowledge of the port and the situation at hand. The pilot is responsible for not only the safety of the ship but also the protection of the port and the marine environment.”（海上引航是一项要求熟练程度高、思维敏捷、独立工作。最重要的是，它关乎风险管理。引航员在关键时刻上船，根据他或她对港口和手头情况的了解来控制船舶。引航员不仅要对船舶的安全负责，还要对港口和海洋环境的保护负责。）并结合上文描述的领航员的具体工作内容及挑战可知，本段简明扼要地总结了海上引航任务的要求及引航员的工作内容。故最后一段通过总结要点的方式来结束全文。故选C项。 D People who speak two languages may be better at shifting their attention from one thing to another compared to those who speak one, according to a study published this month in the journal Bilingualism. The study examined differences between bilingual and monolingual individuals when it comes to attentional control and ignoring information that isn’t important at the time, said its authors Grace deMeurisse and Edith Kaan. They set out to see if differences between the two groups would surface and used a task to measure the participants’ abilities to deal with incoming information and control their attention. “Our results showed that bilinguals seem to be more efficient at ignoring information that’s irrelevant.” deMeurisse said. “One explanation for this is that bilinguals are constantly switching between two languages and need to shift their attention away from the language not in use.” For example, if an English-and Spanish-speaking person is having a conversation in Spanish, both languages are active, but English is put on hold but always ready to be used as needed. The two groups of subjects included functional monolinguals and bilinguals. Functional monolinguals were defined as those who had two years or less of a foreign language experience in a classroom and use only the first language that they learned as a child. Bilinguals were categorized as people who had learned both their first and second language before the ages of 9 to 12 and were still using both languages. Kaan explained that an individual’s cognitive(认知的) traits continuously adapt to external factors. The researchers were also clear to point out that their study was not intended to show that people who speak two or more languages have an advantage over those who speak one. “However, regardless of cognitive differences, learning a second language is always going to be something that can benefit you, whether those benefits are cognitive, social, or environmental.” deMeurisse said. “It will never be a negative to be exposed to a second language.” 12. What is the finding of the study? A. Speaking two languages contributes to the development of brain. B. Bilinguals are more competent to deal with incoming information. C. The bilingual brain may be better at ignoring irrelevant information. D. The differences between bilinguals and monolinguals are distinct. 13. Why is an English-and-Spanish-speaking person mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. To present the fact of bilinguals having advantages. B. To explain the flexible switching ability of bilinguals. C. To clarify the concept of bilinguals and monolinguals. D. To predict the bright future of learning two languages. 14. Which of the 8-year-old boys can be called a functional monolingual? A. An American boy who is a Chinese beginning learner. B. A Japanese boy who’s good at English and often uses it in life. C. A Chinese boy who’s learning English, but uses Chinese only. D. A French boy who uses both French and English in his daily life. 15. What is the purpose of the study? A. To raise people’s awareness of being a bilingual. B. To confirm the benefits of learning more languages. C. To emphasize the importance of learning foreign languages. D. To find cognitive differences between bilinguals and monolinguals. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项发表在《双语主义》杂志上的研究，该研究发现双语者在转移注意力方面可能比单语者更为高效。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“ ‘Our results showed that bilinguals seem to be more efficient at ignoring information that’s irrelevant.’ deMeurisse said. (“我们的研究结果表明，双语者似乎更能有效地忽略无关信息。deMeurisse说。)”可知，双语者更能有效地忽略无关信息。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“ ‘One explanation for this is that bilinguals are constantly switching between two languages and need to shift their attention away from the language not in use.’ For example, if an English-and Spanish-speaking person is having a conversation in Spanish, both languages are active, but English is put on hold but always ready to be used as needed. (“对此的一种解释是，双语者经常在两种语言之间切换，需要把注意力从不使用的语言上转移开来。”例如，如果一个说英语和西班牙语的人正在用西班牙语进行对话，两种语言都是活跃的，但英语被搁置，但随时准备在需要时使用。)”可知，双语者可以在两种语言之间灵活切换，说明注意力可以灵活转变。由此可知，该段提到了一个说英语和西班牙语的人是为了解释双语者的灵活转换能力。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Functional monolinguals were defined as those who had two years or less of a foreign language experience in a classroom and use only the first language that they learned as a child. (功能性单语者被定义为那些在课堂上有两年或更少的外语学习经历，并且只使用他们小时候学过的第一语言的人。)”可知，一个学英语的中国男孩，但只说中文，是属于功能性单语者。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers were also clear to point out that their study was not intended to show that people who speak two or more languages have an advantage over those who speak one. ‘However, regardless of cognitive differences, learning a second language is always going to be something that can benefit you, whether those benefits are cognitive, social, or environmental.’ deMeurisse said. ‘It will never be a negative to be exposed to a second language.’ (研究人员也明确指出，他们的研究并不是为了表明会说两种或两种以上语言的人比只会说一种语言的人更有优势。“然而，不管认知差异如何，学习第二语言总是会给你带来好处，无论是认知、社会还是环境方面的好处。”deMeurisse说。“接触第二语言永远不会有负面影响。”)”可知，研究者的目的不是将只会说一种语言的人与会说多种语言的人进行比较，而是要通过研究发现双语者和单语者之间的认知差异。故选D。 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 many of you prefer to skip breakfast when you travel because you want to sleep in?

Spending his days on his family’s farm in Tulelake, California, Miles loved exploring the animals and rural environment around him. But, there was one thing he loved more than his adventures on the farm, and it was his love for the superhero, Batman. Miles and his dad shared a nightly routine of sitting in the couch and watching an episode of Adam West’s Batman series. Between Batman themed pajamas (睡衣), slippers, bedding, and much more, the caped superhero had officially taken over their home. And when everything in life was going wonderfully, shy of Miles’ second birthday, his parents noticed a dramatic change in their little boy. In the blink of an eye, Miles and his family’s lives had been transformed from absolute joy and normalcy to complete misery. One doctor’s appointment had changed the entire course of their lives. Miles went from being a healthy, active boy to feeling inactive and unwell. After running tests and blood-work, doctors had made a heart-breaking discovery. Miles had leukemia (白血病), the most common type of cancer in children and teens. The unexpected diagnosis of their little boy was completely shocking. After months of chemotherapy (化疗) and radiation, little Miles had become increasingly weak and painful. At such a young age, it had become difficult trying to explain to little Miles why he had to suffer. And whenever Miles’ pain became unbearable, his parents, Nick and Natalie, knew exactly what to do to comfort and uplift him. Watching Batman would light up his face, and bring out a smile every time. After years of battling the severe disease, Miles had just turned five, and although he had grown, his love for Batman remained. Close to the end of his treatment and in recovery, Nick and Natalie asked their little boy what he had wished for, and without any hesitation, he wanted to be his hero, Batman. 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。 If Miles wanted to be Batman, then they would make it happen. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day finally came for Miles to wear his new costume. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 If Miles wanted to be Batman, then they would make it happen. They decided to make him a Batman costume. With that in mind, they set out to create a Batman costume for Miles. They searched the Internet for patterns and materials, and even though they didn’t have the resources or the skill to make an exact replica of the batman’s uniform, they did their best. After days of careful cutting and sewing, a captivating costume was finally created. The day finally came for Miles to wear his new costume. He was overcome with joy. He had been through so much in his short life, but on that day, he was a happy little boy again. He put on the costume, the cape fluttering behind him as he ran around the house with a smile on his face that could light up the darkest of nights. Although Miles was only a little boy, he put on the costume with joy and ran around the house like a real superhero. This small act of love not only brought Miles an unforgettable moment but also boosted the spirit of his family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为中心展开，主要讲述小男孩迈尔斯非常喜欢超级英雄蝙蝠侠，但是在他即将2岁的时候却被查出得了白血病，这让他们一家人陷入了困境。每天被病痛折磨的迈尔斯变得精神不振。当父母问他想要什么的时候，他毫不犹豫地回答说想成为他的英雄蝙蝠侠。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“如果迈尔斯想成为蝙蝠侠，那么他们会让它实现的。”可知，第一段可描写迈尔斯的家人为了实现他的梦想所做的努力，一家人努力为迈尔斯制作蝙蝠侠服装。 ②由第二段首句内容“迈尔斯终于有一天穿上了他的新服装。”可知，第二段可描写迈尔斯穿上了蝙蝠侠服装之后的变化。 2. 续写线索：决定——查找——制作——试穿——高兴——鼓舞 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：decide/make up one’s mind ②开始做某事：set out to do sth./set about doing sth. ③寻找：search/look for 情绪类 ①高兴：joy/delight ②高兴的：happy/glad/delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】They searched the Internet for patterns and materials, and even though they didn’t have the resources or the skill to make an exact replica of the batman’s uniform, they did their best.
