B Going through life can be very challenging at times, when we were young no one told us how hard it will be in the future but here we are. One of the gigantic problems of adult life is having self-doubt, and it is nasty and can kill your confidence levels if not controlled from the get-go. We will all experience some traces of self-doubt, which is natural. It happens to us during normal days or whenever we are going to start a new job, a new task, a new relationship, or anything new in life will make you self-doubt. There are some people out there that mistake self-doubt for something else. Self-doubt is when you are unsure about one or more aspects of yourself. For example, when starting a new job, you might feel inexperienced or might think that you are not fit enough for the job-this is a prime example of self-doubt. Self-doubt isn’t all that bad. Let us tell you why! Low-level of self-criticism is actually good for you, which motivates you and pushes you to be better in life, to become greater than yesterday. This type of feeling will push you to work harder and faster than before and will also increase your productivity, but it should be a low level of self-criticism, and you don’t want to punish yourself over things that are beyond your control. In plain and simple terms, self-doubt is the inability to have confidence in your own skills and capabilities. It is a venomous mindset that limits you from achieving your true potential, Humility is one of the best traits that you can possess but if it comes at your own expense, then there is no use in having that kind of trait. Anything that proves harmful to your mental or physical health, is something that you shouldn’t possess in the first place. Self-Doubt isn’t something that you are born with, which is developed as you pass the different stages of life. There are many ways a person can develop self-doubt. The best approach that we can take is to eliminate any kind of self-doubt we have, but before that can happen, it is necessary that we understand the very cause of self-doubt. 4. According to the passage, people in the following situation can experience self-doubt except . A. John working in a new environment B. Sophia who starts a relationship with her boyfriend lately C. Lucy being called on in English class to answer questions D. A girl taking the plane for the first time 5. What can we infer from the text? A. Only adults can have self-doubt. B. Self-doubt is nothing but a natural phenomenon. C. Humility is one of the best traits that you should possess at all times. D. All levels of self-criticism can increase our productivity. 6. What’s the purpose of using the prime example of self-doubt in paragraph 2? A. To further explain when people experience self-doubt. B. To find out what people do when going through self-doubt. C. To study why people have self-doubt. D. To test if self-doubt would disappear in a new environment. 7. What will the writer possibly write in the following paragraph? A. Possible reasons of self-doubt. B. Elimination of self-doubt. C. Different types of self-doubt. D. New definition of self-doubt. C The ocean covers more than 70% of Earth’s surface, yet around 80% of the ocean remains unexplored. To put it simply, we know very little about most of the ocean. Seafloor mapping is the first step to uncovering the mysteries of the deep. Sea floor maps increase the scope, efficiency, and pace of deep-sea exploration, keeping scientists and boats from “flying blind”. A vital part of exploring the seafloor is mapping the density of the ocean crust. But probing the ocean’s crust requires a significant wave source. The most common method for determining crustal structure is also controversial — firing seismic air guns from ships. While this method is effective, it is potentially harmful to marine life and not easy to use. The song of the fin whale is one of the loudest in the animal kingdom and is detectable over great distances. Their low-frequency calls generate more than 185 decibels (分贝) underwater, on par with a large ship. Part of the energy of this powerful song transmits into the ground as a seismic wave. The wave travels through the oceanic crust where it reflects and refracts off layers in the crustal interface. Ocean-bottom seismometers (地震计) off the coast of Oregon picked up on the seismic waves of these fin whale calls. Researchers Kun a and John Nábelek, from Oregon State University, analyzed six whale songs. Using these signals, the team was able to map the thickness of sediment and rock on the ocean floor. While fin whale songs are never going to replace seismic air guns entirely, they do provide a free and natural alternative for scientists looking to explore the ocean floor. In the future, scientists think broader-frequency vocalizations, like those of sperm whales, may produce higher-resolution imaging. The researchers write, “Our study demonstrates that animal vocalizations are useful not only for studying the animals themselves but also for investigating the environment that they inhabit.” 8. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1? A. Sea floor maps helps scientists and boats fly further in the air. B. Sea floor maps guides scientists and boats to sail with clear direction in the sea. C. Sea floor maps equips scientists and boats to sail with a firm destination in the ocean. D. Sea floor maps keeps scientist sand boats from flying blindly. 9. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Around 80% of the earth’s surface remains unexplored. B. Fin whale songs are going to replace seismic air guns entirely. C. Our study benefits the animal’s living environment. D. Their low-frequency calls of the fin whale is louder than that of a large ship. 10. Which of the following best describes the most common method for determining crustal structure? A. Effective but controversial. B. Inefficient and costly. C. Harmful but fruitful. D. Ineffective and harmful. 11. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To arouse the readers’ awareness of wildlife protection. B. To share the latest development of the seafloor mapping. C. To inform us an alternative way to replace the original method of measuring the ocean floor. D. To emphasize the importance of whales to ecosystem. D You might have seen Family Guy, American Dad on the television many times but have you ever wondered if it gets any crazier than this? These shows come from the brilliant mind of Seth MacFarlane, one of the best American producers and writers of our time. He started his career as the creator of Family Guy and then rose to fame from there. Seth isn’t just the creator of Family Guy and American Dad. He produces these shows and also provides voice-over talent, and both of these shows have now become critical hits. Showing off his talents in these shows really paid off when he made the transition to the big screen. He then starred in movies like Ted (2012), Ted 2 (2015), and A Million Ways To Die In The West (2014). He is currently starring in the Hit Sci-Fi Comedy Show “The Orville”. In these past years, Seth MacFarlane has proved one thing — There is nothing in this world that he can’t do. He is a modern-day Renaissance man. Seth has made his mark on Hollywood with his unique talents and humor. Is there anything that Seth MacFarlane can’t do? Here are some of the facts that you don’t know about the veteran producer. Seth MacFarlane narrowly escaped death during 9/11, seems almost unreal, right? He was supposed to be in one of the two flights that were hijacked and collided with the twin towers on September 11,2009. Since he was hung over, he was given the wrong departure time. Later, he arrived at the airport 10 minutes late and missed his flight. After missing the plane he went to the passenger lounge to rest, upon waking up he witness the horrifying news about the massacre of 9/11. When both planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the airline announced which planes were involved in this horrid event. MacFarlane then realized that he was supposed to be in the second plane. Family Guy and American Dad isn’t Seth MacFarlane’s first rodeo with animation. He showed a unique kind of love and passion for animation from a very young age. He actually submitted one of his drawings to a local newspaper. He was so talented that the newspaper company was impressed by his skills. The company hired him and he used to draw for them once a week for$5. Seth MacFarlane currently stars in The Orville, a comedy sci-fi series that he himself wrote and created. He stars as the captain of the infamous space ship whereas his ex-wife in the show is the first officer. The Orville is something that Seth wanted to create since childhood. The series is a hit which is definitely not a surprise, MacFarlane revealed that the series is made to incorporate the optimism that Star Trek actually embodied, especially in these times when only dark sci-fi shows are streaming. 12.

The village thrived in the heart of a big jungle. Surrounded by the mountain s and in the shade of green trees, the villagers happily lived a life of bliss. All of them were used to their robotic daily tasks and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Hannah. Very few people in the village could read let alone write, and Hannah was one of them. Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods looking for new things. She loved to create stories in her head and used to imagine herself as one of her characters. One afternoon, when Hannah was on one of her adventurous quests, she came upon an abandoned cottage. The cottage looked very old in its condition. The door was barely hanging and the wood was chipping away. Even though Hannah’s mother had strictly warned her not to go wandering in abandoned places, her curiosity got the best of her. She tip-toed slowly to the door and slowly opened it and she was left stunned. In front of Hannah was a room full of books! Books glistering in the dust, basking in the warm sunlight just waiting to be explored. Hannah’s excitement was visible on her face as she jumped up and down with glee! She dusted the books, the shelves, and what was left of the furniture. Hannah broomed, swept, and dusted all day long until she realized that it was dark and she had to go back to her home. She met her friends on the way home who were curious by what Hannah was carrying. With excitement, Hannah shared everything with her friends. She was thinking that her friends will share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter! 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。 Hannah was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up on her books. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the good in heart, she decided to share the tales with the people of her village. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 BACBC 6-10 CABCB 11-15 BAACA 16-20 ABBCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 湖北省部分省级示范高中2023~2024学年下学期期末测试 高一英语试卷 考试时间: 2024年7月2日 试卷满分: 150分 祝考试顺利 注意事项： 1.答卷前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题卡区域均无效。 4.考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并上交。 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。 1.

One of the gigantic problems of adult life is having self-doubt, and it is nasty and can kill your confidence levels if not controlled from the get-go. We will all experience some traces of self-doubt, which is natural. It happens to us during normal days or whenever we are going to start a new job, a new task, a new relationship, or anything new in life will make you self-doubt. There are some people out there that mistake self-doubt for something else. Self-doubt is when you are unsure about one or more aspects of yourself. For example, when starting a new job, you might feel inexperienced or might think that you are not fit enough for the job-this is a prime example of self-doubt. Self-doubt isn’t all that bad. Let us tell you why! Low-level of self-criticism is actually good for you, which motivates you and pushes you to be better in life, to become greater than yesterday. This type of feeling will push you to work harder and faster than before and will also increase your productivity, but it should be a low level of self-criticism, and you don’t want to punish yourself over things that are beyond your control. In plain and simple terms, self-doubt is the inability to have confidence in your own skills and capabilities. It is a venomous mindset that limits you from achieving your true potential, Humility is one of the best traits that you can possess but if it comes at your own expense, then there is no use in having that kind of trait. Anything that proves harmful to your mental or physical health, is something that you shouldn’t possess in the first place. Self-Doubt isn’t something that you are born with, which is developed as you pass the different stages of life. There are many ways a person can develop self-doubt. The best approach that we can take is to eliminate any kind of self-doubt we have, but before that can happen, it is necessary that we understand the very cause of self-doubt. 4. According to the passage, people in the following situation can experience self-doubt except . A. John working in a new environment B. Sophia who starts a relationship with her boyfriend lately C. Lucy being called on in English class to answer questions D. A girl taking the plane for the first time 5. What can we infer from the text? A. Only adults can have self-doubt. B. Self-doubt is nothing but a natural phenomenon. C. Humility is one of the best traits that you should possess at all times. D. All levels of self-criticism can increase our productivity. 6. What’s the purpose of using the prime example of self-doubt in paragraph 2? A. To further explain when people experience self-doubt. B. To find out what people do when going through self-doubt. C. To study why people have self-doubt. D. To test if self-doubt would disappear in a new environment. 7. What will the writer possibly write in the following paragraph? A. Possible reasons of self-doubt. B. Elimination of self-doubt. C. Different types of self-doubt. D. New definition of self-doubt. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7.

(它发生在我们平常的日子里，或者每当我们要开始一份新工作，一项新任务，一段新的关系，或者任何生活中的新事物都会让你自我怀疑。)”可知，Lucy在英语课上被要求回答问题，这不是生活中遇到的新事物，不会让人们经历自我怀疑。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“We will all experience some traces of self-doubt, which is natural.(我们都会经历一些自我怀疑的痕迹，这是很自然的。)”可知，自我怀疑只是一种自然的现象。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Self-doubt is when you are unsure about one or more aspects of yourself. For example, when starting a new job, you might feel inexperienced or might think that you are not fit enough for the job-this is a prime example of self-doubt. (自我怀疑是指你对自己的一个或多个方面不确定的时候。例如，当开始一份新工作时，你可能会觉得没有经验，或者认为自己不够适合这份工作——这是自我怀疑的一个主要例子。)”可知，本段中使用自我怀疑的主要例子的目的是进一步解释人们何时经历自我怀疑。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The best approach that we can take is to eliminate any kind of self-doubt we have, but before that can happen, it is necessary that we understand the very cause of self-doubt. (我们能采取的最好方法就是消除任何形式的自我怀疑，但在此之前，我们有必要了解自我怀疑的真正原因。)”可知，作者在下一段可能会写自我怀疑的原因。故选A项。 C The ocean covers more than 70% of Earth’s surface, yet around 80% of the ocean remains unexplored. To put it simply, we know very little about most of the ocean. Seafloor mapping is the first step to uncovering the mysteries of the deep. Sea floor maps increase the scope, efficiency, and pace of deep-sea exploration, keeping scientists and boats from “flying blind”. A vital part of exploring the seafloor is mapping the density of the ocean crust. But probing the ocean’s crust requires a significant wave source. The most common method for determining crustal structure is also controversial — firing seismic air guns from ships. While this method is effective, it is potentially harmful to marine life and not easy to use. The song of the fin whale is one of the loudest in the animal kingdom, and is detectable over great distances. Their low-frequency calls generate more than 185 decibels (分贝) underwater, on par with a large ship. Part of the energy of this powerful song transmits into the ground as a seismic wave. The wave travels through the oceanic crust where it reflects and refracts off layers in the crustal interface. Ocean-bottom seismometers (地震计) off the coast of Oregon picked up on the seismic waves of these fin whale calls. Researchers Kun a and John Nábelek, from Oregon State University, analyzed six whale songs. Using these signals, the team was able to map the thickness of sediment and rock on the ocean floor. While fin whale songs are never going to replace seismic air guns entirely, they do provide a free and natural alternative for scientists looking to explore the ocean floor. In the future, scientists think broader-frequency vocalizations, like those of sperm whales, may produce higher-resolution imaging. The researchers write “Our study demonstrates that animal vocalizations are useful not only for studying the animals themselves but also for investigating the environment that they inhabit.” 8. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1? A. Sea floor maps helps scientists and boats fly further in the air. B. Sea floor maps guides scientists and boats to sail with clear direction in the sea. C. Sea floor maps equips scientists and boats to sail with a firm destination in the ocean. D. Sea floor maps keeps scientist sand boats from flying blindly. 9. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Around 80% of the earth’s surface remains unexplored. B. Fin whale songs are going to replace seismic air guns entirely. C. Our study benefits the animal’s living environment. D. Their low-frequency calls of the fin whale is louder than that of a large ship. 10. Which of the following best describes the most common method for determining crustal structure? A. Effective but controversial. B. Inefficient and costly. C. Harmful but fruitful. D. Ineffective and harmful. 11. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To arouse the readers’ awareness of wildlife protection. B. To share the latest development of the seafloor mapping. C. To inform us an alternative way to replace the original method of measuring the ocean floor. D. To emphasize the importance of whales to ecosystem. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种替代原来测量海底的新方法，利用鲸鱼传递的信号，研究小组能够绘制出海底沉积物和岩石的厚度。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Sea floor maps increase the scope, efficiency, and pace of deep-sea exploration, keeping scientists and boats from ‘flying blind’.(海底地图增加了深海勘探的范围、效率和速度，使科学家和船只免于‘盲目航行’。)”可知，划线部分的逻辑主语是“海底地图”，海底地图引导科学家和船只在大海中不会“盲目航行”，即能够以清晰的方向航行。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Our study demonstrates that animal vocalizations are useful not only for studying the animals themselves but also for investigating the environment that they inhabit.(我们的研究表明，动物的发声不仅对研究动物本身很有用，而且对调查它们居住的环境也很有用。)”可知，该项研究有利于动物的生存环境。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The most common method for determining crustal structure is also controversial — firing seismic air guns from ships. While this method is effective, it is potentially harmful to marine life and not easy to use. (测定地壳结构最常用的方法也是有争议的——从船上发射地震气枪。虽然这种方法是有效的，但它对海洋生物有潜在的危害，而且不容易使用。)”可知，确定地壳结构的最常用方法有效但有争议。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据倒数第二段中“While fin whale songs are never going to replace seismic air guns entirely, they do provide a free and natural alternative for scientists looking to explore the ocean floor. In the future, scientists think broader-frequency vocalizations, like those of sperm whales, may produce higher-resolution imaging. (虽然长须鲸的歌声永远不会完全取代地震气枪，但它们确实为寻求探索海底的科学家提供了一种免费而自然的选择。在未来，科学家们认为更宽频率的声音，比如抹香鲸的声音，可能会产生更高分辨率的成像。)”可知，本文目的是告诉我们一种替代原来测量海底的方法。故选C项。 D You might have seen Family Guy, American Dad on the television many times but have you ever wondered if it gets any crazier than this? These shows come from the brilliant mind of Seth MacFarlane, one of the best American producers and writers of our time. He started his career as the creator of Family Guy and then rose to fame from there. Seth isn’t just the creator of Family Guy and American Dad. He produces these shows and also provides voice-over talent, and both of these shows have now become critical hits. Showing off his talents in these shows really paid off when he made the transition to the big screen. He then starred in movies like Ted (2012), Ted 2 (2015), and A Million Ways To Die In The West (2014). He is currently starring in the Hit Sci-Fi Comedy Show “The Orville”. In these past years, Seth MacFarlane has proved one thing — There is nothing in this world that he can’t do. He is a modern-day Renaissance man. Seth has made his mark on Hollywood with his unique talents and humor. Is there anything that Seth MacFarlane can’t do? Here are some of the facts that you don’t know about the veteran producer. Seth MacFarlane narrowly escaped death during 9/11, seems almost unreal, right? He was supposed to be in one of the two flights that were hijacked and collided with the twin towers on September 11,2009. Since he was hung over, he was given the wrong departure time. Later, he arrived at the airport 10 minutes late and missed his flight. After missing the plane he went to the passenger lounge to rest, upon waking up he witness the horrifying news about the massacre of 9/11. When both planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the airline announced which planes were involved in this horrid event. MacFarlane then realized that he was supposed to be in the second plane. Family Guy and American Dad isn’t Seth MacFarlane’s first rodeo with animation. He showed a unique kind of love and passion for animation from a very young age. He actually submitted one of his drawings to a local newspaper. He was so talented that the newspaper company was impressed by his skills. The company hired him and he used to draw for them once a week for$5. Seth MacFarlane currently stars in The Orville, a comedy sci-fi series that he himself wrote and created. He stars as the captain of the infamous space ship whereas his ex-wife in the show is the first officer. The Orville is something that Seth wanted to create since childhood. The series is a hit which is definitely not a surprise, MacFarlane revealed that the series is made to incorporate the optimism that Star Trek actually embodied, especially in these times when only dark sci-fi shows are streaming. 12.

Among all the famous figures in Chinese history, the one that attracts me most is Su Shi. Su Shi, also known as Su Dongpo, is a writer, poet, and politician in Song Dynasty. Born to a family with an extreme talent in literature, he wrote thousands of delicate poems, and even started a new genre. However, his political career wasn’t smooth, and kept wandering farther and farther in his later part of life. Nonetheless, whatever hardship he was faced with, he managed to overcome it, leaving us with the legendary pieces. In my childhood, he showed me the beauty of poems, and enhanced my interest in literature. But as time goes, I start to realize that his influence on me is beyond literature. In the face of frustrations, he never compromised. Instead, he always kept his cool and optimistic attitude. I shall never lower my head, and will shout in the rain, just like him. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文，要求考生给学校英语校报最近新开辟的“中国历史上的名人”栏目投稿，介绍一位自己喜欢的中国历史人物。 【详解】1.词汇积累 天赋：talent→genius 尽管如此：nonetheless→even so 增加：enhance→increase 低下头：lower one’s head→bow one’s head 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Su Shi, also known as Su Dongpo, is a writer, poet, and politician in Song Dynasty. 拓展句：Su Shi, who is also known as Su Dongpo, is a writer, poet, and politician in Song Dynasty. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Nonetheless, whatever hardship he was faced with, he managed to overcome it, leaving us with the legendary pieces.（运用了whatever引导的让步状语从句和现在分词leaving作状语） 【高分句型2】But as time goes, I start to realize that his influence on me is beyond literature. （运用了as引导的时间状语从句和that引导的宾语从句） 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。 Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a small village. The village thrived in the heart of a big jungle. Surrounded by the mountain s and in the shade of green trees, the villagers happily lived a life of bliss. All of them were used to their robotic daily tasks and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Hannah. Very few people in the village could read let alone write, and Hannah was one of them. Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods looking for new things. She loved to create stories in her head and used to imagine herself as one of her characters. One afternoon, when Hannah was on one of her adventurous quests, she came upon an abandoned cottage. The cottage looked very old in its condition. The door was barely hanging and the wood was chipping away. Even though Hannah’s mother had strictly warned her not to go wandering in abandoned places, her curiosity got the best of her. She tip-toed slowly to the door and slowly opened it and she was left stunned. In front of Hannah was a room full of books! Books glistering in the dust, basking in the warm sunlight just waiting to be explored. Hannah’s excitement was visible on her face as she jumped up and down with glee! She dusted the books, the shelves, and what was left of the furniture. Hannah broomed, swept, and dusted all day long until she realized that it was dark and she had to go back to her home. She met her friends on the way home who were curious by what Hannah was carrying. With excitement, Hannah shared everything with her friends. She was thinking that her friends will share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter! 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。 Hannah was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up on her books. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the good in heart, she decided to share the tales with the people of her village. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Hannah was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up on her books. The next day, she quickly ate her breakfast and made her way to the cottage again. When reading the books, Hannah found they were too interesting filled with stories about different creatures. Each page was just an adventure waiting to be embarked on. Hannah’s imagination took her to a world of talking animals, mystical creatures, and daring nights. The little girl was so inspired by the books that the characters and the stories within them became her mentor. She learned the power of love and friendship, and that the true strength lies within one’s own heart! With the good in heart, she decided to share the tales with the people of her village. She wanted to light the sparks of curiosity and imagination in her villagers. Making this her mission, Hannah started telling tales every day at her cottage. She added her own touch of curiosity every now and then to different stories, making them more interesting. More and more people would gather around Hannah in awe as she told her stories. The old cottage was no longer withering away as people from her own village helped her build the cottage again. They transformed it together into a paradise of adventures and imagination. Hannah reminded everyone through her tales of the importance of human connection, empathy, and love. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。从前，遥远之地有个小村庄，村民安于丛林生活，鲜有创新。女孩汉娜却不同，她爱探索、读写。一日，她发现一废弃小屋，内藏满书籍。她兴奋不已，清理至天黑。归途分享此事，却遭朋友嘲笑。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“汉娜对这种反应感到困惑，也有点受伤，但她并没有放弃她的书。”可知，第一段可以描写汉娜阅读书籍并从书中得到的启发。 ②由第二段句首内容“怀着善良的心，她决定与村里的人们分享这些故事。”可知，第二段可以描写汉娜给人们讲述故事的过程和产生的影响。 2.续写线索：没有放弃——读故事并受启发——决定分享——越来越多人喜欢——改变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①启发：inspire/enlighten  ②点燃：light/kindle ③帮助某人做某事：help sb. do sth./assist sb. to do sth. 情绪类 ①敬畏地：in awe/in reverence ②同情：empathy/sympathy 【点睛】【高分句型1】When reading the books, Hannah found they were too interesting filled with stories about different creatures.
