On September 1, 2023, he set a Guinness World Record for the world’s longest teaching career. Mr. Durietz has been teaching for 54 years since he was 23 years old. Mr. Durietz made up his mind to be a social studies teacher when he was just 11 years old, mainly because he became interested in history after hearing stories from his father, who fought in World War Ⅱ. On his mother’s side of the family, he had connections to a famous person from English history. Mr. Durietz got his first teaching job at Woodland Middle School in Gurnee, Illinois in 1970. Ever since then, he has been teaching social studies at the same school. He says he loves sharing his knowledge of history with students. “Teaching is never boring,” he said. “Every day is different.” Things have changed a lot since he began all those years ago, especially when it comes to technology. But with or without technology, Mr. Durietz has used creative activities to help his students learn. For example, he has organized virtual field trips and geography contests. He has even organized mock (模拟的) elections at school to help his students learn about politics. These activities are some of the ones that he and his students enjoy most. For much of his 54 years as a teacher, Mr. Durietz has been in charge of the social studies program at Woodland. He has helped guide over 20 other social studies teachers at the school. He believes that people who want to be teachers should make sure they are patient with their students. He also encourages them to choose subjects that they care deeply about. “Keep working on what you love to do in life,” he said. 4. What made Paul Durietz decide to be a social studies teacher? A.

Being concerned about advanced technology. B. Working where teachers are most needed. C. Having patience with students. D. Selecting important subjects. C Anxiety isn’t funny. When we feel worried or afraid, the last thing we feel like doing is laughing. Finding humor can be difficult when we live with anxiety. However, if we begin to look for humor, we can find that laughter can be a great coping skill. Researchers have discovered that laughter has many benefits. Among the ways laughter lifts us by increasing our overall well-being and boosting our mental health. When we live with anxiety, our stress hormones pulse through us. This makes us feel tense and anxious. Although there are no quick solutions for anything in our life, a good laugh can instantly begin to reduce these harmful stress hormones that are mixed with anxiety. Laughter gets to work immediately, and a regular “diet” of laughter continues to decrease anxiety over time. The act of laughing is similar to deep breathing in its ability to increase the oxygen in our bodies. Combined with reducing stress hormones, the increased oxygen in our bodies helps lead to muscle relaxation. All of this helps reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety. Laughing feels good. It’s addictive and we can keep wanting more. When we laugh regularly, our anxiety begins to decrease. When we have humor and give ourselves a chance to laugh a little bit for even a short while each day, we distract our focus. Rather than seeing the world within or without as a worrying place, we start to see it as a good, safe, and perhaps even fun place. We start to see beyond the anxiety. Sure, the anxiety lingers (徘徊) for a while, but every time we laugh, we can reduce it. Introducing intentional laughter into our life decreases our stress hormones Breathing deeply during the act of laughing relaxes muscles. Thinking about something funny shifts our focus to new things. Having humor regularly helps our outlook become more positive. 8. What can make us feel nervous? A. Pulsing stress hormones. B. Lacking sense of humour. C. Tiredness and sleepiness. D. Feeling eager to get something. 9. Why is deep breathing mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To compare it with taking exercice. B. To suggest people do it more often. C. To show its importance to the body. D. To explain how laughing reduces anxiety. 10. What does Paragraph 4 focus on in terms of laughter? A. Its functions. B. Its concept. C. Its causes. D. Its disadvantages. 11. Who might need to read the text most? A. A person who has developed a bad habit. B. A person who tends to feel nervous easily. C. A person who is fond of humorous stories. D. A person who can’t get along well with others. D HELSINKI—Driven by a passion for giant pandas, Finnish scientists are learning how to cultivate bamboo in freezing temperatures not normally beneficial to growing the primary food source for these special animals. In early 2018 a pair of giant pandas from China made their first public appearance at the Ahtari Zoo in central Finland. It was the first time that pandas had come to live in Northern Europe, and the event was met with great enthusiasm from the Finnish public. The pandas, Hua Bao and Jin Baobao, were nicknamed “Pyry” and “Lumi” — meaning “heavy snowfall” and “snow”— by their hosts in Finland. Meanwhile, two years before their arrival, a group of local farmers had taken up the challenge of growing bamboo in the country where temperatures often fall to below 30 degrees Celsius in winter. The farmers have persevered despite failures and difficulties, and their efforts are now bearing fruit as they have succeeded in growing bamboo in the extreme cold. Over the years, agricultural advisor Jari Luokkakallio has become an expert on bamboo cultivation, driven by the desire to build the best possible food reserves for the pandas. “I think the pandas prefer the bamboo that I bring to them,” Luokkakallio said. “It is fresh and local.” Around 50 farmers joined in the bamboo cultivation project when it was first launched in 2016. “The first year was very, very hard,” Luokkakallio said. “When the temperature dropped to minus 30 in November and December, we lost every single bamboo plant.” The next year, the farmers started all over again, he said. “And we came to understand that we had to better protect the bamboo.” Looking back on such experiences, Luokkakallio stressed that it was important to adopt techniques suitable for Finland’s climate. For example, snow can be used as a natural insulator (绝缘体) for bamboo plants. When Luokkakallio learned that bamboo grows in China’s cool, slightly wet mountainous areas, he was convinced it could also grow in snowy Finland. “The snow actually provides the best protection for the bamboo, an evergreen plant,” Luokkakallio said. Covering bamboo with snow ensures enough moisture (湿度) for the leaves, he said, so that they remain green and fresh. By conducting experiments and learning from mistakes, Luokkakallio said he discovered Finland-specific ways to protect bamboo, which is crucial for sustaining the pandas’ diet locally. Finland’s local bamboo production currently makes up just a small part of the food supply for the two giant pandas, providing an alternative when extreme situations could affect the timely arrival of imported bamboo. “Growing bamboo is our hobby, not a business,” Luokkakallio said, adding that he and his colleagues are delighted to be able to provide some backup (后援) food reserves for the lovely pandas in Ahtari. “My grandsons are also very proud of me because what I’m doing for the two pandas is special.” 12. What does the underlined word “persevered” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Cheered up. B. Given up. C. Kept trying. D. Continued worrying. 13. Why did Luokkakallio say the first year to plant bamboo was rather difficult? A. All the bamboo shoots died from lack of water. B. The output of bamboo plants was very small. C. All the bamboo plants were frozen to death. D. The bamboo plants grew very slowly. 14. How does Luokkakallio keep the bamboo leaves green and fresh? A. By watering the plants from time to time. B. By using snow to cover the bamboo plants. C. By spraying some special chemicals on the plants. D. By growing the bamboo plants in greenhouses. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Cultivating bamboo for pandas in Finland B. Pandas have been used to living in Finland C. Finland-specific ways to protect bamboo D. Bamboo can grow in snowy Finland 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。 Everyone has to deal with people they disagree with at times.

In the charm of school life, where classrooms are seats of learning and the schoolyard becomes a source of memory, there are a number of stories mixed with humor, warmth, and teacher-student relationships. Mr. Brown was a countryside teacher, but not an ordinary one; he was a storyteller, a mentor (导师), and a friend to all his students. His classroom was a world of its own, full of colorful characters and brilliant ideas. One day, during the noon break, a student named Julie noticed a young cat wandering with fairly quick, light and quiet steps through the familiar grounds where many schoolyard tales were born. Julie took her to Mr. Brown, who had magical tricks for handling even the smallest things. With Mr. Brown’s permission, Julie and her classmates built a shelter for the cat in a corner of the campus. The days turned into weeks and the cat grew under the care of Mr. Brown and his students. Once in a while, she became a temporary resident of the classroom, much to the delight of the whole class. They named her “Campus”, a name that generalized (概括) the spirit of their school days. As the year progressed, Campus was not just an animal, but a tie connecting each of them and a thread of continuity in their lives. She played on desks, slept in chairs, and hid in folders, thus becoming an unofficial mascot (吉祥物) of the classroom. The students found comfort in her presence, and Mr. Brown was quite happy to watch them grow through her company. As graduation neared Mr. Brown gathered his students for one last lesson. He told them that they would soon be exploring new horizons. He reminded them that life was full of unforeseeable twists and turns along with unexpected potentials, just like the appearance of a cat in their schoolyard. At the moment, the students were greatly touched and deep down there arose a strong love for the memorable warmth and hearty laughter of their school days. Then, Mr. Brown and the students agreed to meet there once again in eight years. 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。 Time seemed to go very fast. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, they saw something familiar outside their former classroom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023～2024学年度高二年级·期末学情检测 英语 考生注意： 1．本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4．本卷命题范围：高考范围。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5 小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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?

On September 1, 2023, he set a Guinness World Record for the world’s longest teaching career. Mr. Durietz has been teaching for 54 years since he was 23 years old. Mr. Durietz made up his mind to be a social studies teacher when he was just 11 years old, mainly because he became interested in history after hearing stories from his father, who fought in World War Ⅱ. On his mother’s side of the family, he had connections to a famous person from English history. Mr. Durietz got his first teaching job at Woodland Middle School in Gurnee, Illinois in 1970. Ever since then, he has been teaching social studies at the same school. He says he loves sharing his knowledge of history with students. “Teaching is never boring,” he said. “Every day is different.” Things have changed a lot since he began all those years ago, especially when it comes to technology. But with or without technology, Mr. Durietz has used creative activities to help his students learn. For example, he has organized virtual field trips and geography contests. He has even organized mock (模拟的) elections at school to help his students learn about politics. These activities are some of the ones that he and his students enjoy most. For much of his 54 years as a teacher, Mr. Durietz has been in charge of the social studies program at Woodland. He has helped guide over 20 other social studies teachers at the school. He believes that people who want to be teachers should make sure they are patient with their students. He also encourages them to choose subjects that they care deeply about. “Keep working on what you love to do in life,” he said. 4. What made Paul Durietz decide to be a social studies teacher? A.

Finding humor can be difficult when we live with anxiety. However, if we begin to look for humor, we can find that laughter can be a great coping skill. Researchers have discovered that laughter has many benefits. Among the ways laughter lifts us by increasing our overall well-being and boosting our mental health. When we live with anxiety, our stress hormones pulse through us. This makes us feel tense and anxious. Although there are no quick solutions for anything in our life, a good laugh can instantly begin to reduce these harmful stress hormones that are mixed with anxiety. Laughter gets to work immediately, and a regular “diet” of laughter continues to decrease anxiety over time. The act of laughing is similar to deep breathing in its ability to increase the oxygen in our bodies. Combined with reducing stress hormones, the increased oxygen in our bodies helps lead to muscle relaxation. All of this helps reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety. Laughing feels good. It’s addictive and we can keep wanting more. When we laugh regularly, our anxiety begins to decrease. When we have humor and give ourselves a chance to laugh a little bit for even a short while each day, we distract our focus. Rather than seeing the world within or without as a worrying place, we start to see it as a good, safe, and perhaps even fun place. We start to see beyond the anxiety. Sure, the anxiety lingers (徘徊) for a while, but every time we laugh, we can reduce it. Introducing intentional laughter into our life decreases our stress hormones. Breathing deeply during the act of laughing relaxes muscles. Thinking about something funny shifts our focus to new things. Having humor regularly helps our outlook become more positive. 8. What can make us feel nervous? A. Pulsing stress hormones. B. Lacking sense of humour. C. Tiredness and sleepiness. D. Feeling eager to get something. 9. Why is deep breathing mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To compare it with taking exercice. B. To suggest people do it more often. C. To show its importance to the body. D. To explain how laughing reduces anxiety. 10. What does Paragraph 4 focus on in terms of laughter? A. Its functions. B. Its concept. C. Its causes. D. Its disadvantages. 11. Who might need to read the text most? A. A person who has developed a bad habit. B. A person who tends to feel nervous easily. C. A person who is fond of humorous stories. D. A person who can’t get along well with others. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了笑对缓解焦虑的积极作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When we live with anxiety, our stress hormones pulse through us. This makes us feel tense and anxious(当我们生活在焦虑中，我们的压力荷尔蒙会在我们体内涌动。这使我们感到紧张和焦虑)”可知，当我们生活在焦虑中时，我们的应激激素在我们体内脉动。这让我们感到紧张和焦虑。由此可知，脉动的应激激素会让我们感到紧张。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The act of laughing is similar to deep breathing in its ability to increase the oxygen in our bodies. Combined with reducing stress hormones, the increased oxygen in our bodies helps lead to muscle relaxation. All of this helps reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety(笑的行为类似于深呼吸，能够增加我们体内的氧气。结合减少压力激素，体内增加的氧气有助于肌肉放松。所有这些都有助于减轻焦虑的身体症状)”可知，笑的行为在增加我们体内氧气的能力上与深呼吸相似。与减少应激激素相结合，我们体内增加的氧气有助于肌肉放松。所有这些都有助于减轻焦虑的身体症状。由此可知，提到深呼吸是为了解释笑如何减轻焦虑。故选D项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Laughing feels good. It’s addictive and we can keep wanting more. When we laugh regularly, our anxiety begins to decrease. When we have humor and give ourselves a chance to laugh a little bit for even a short while each day, we distract our focus. Rather than seeing the world within or without as a worrying place, we start to see it as a good, safe, and perhaps even fun place. We start to see beyond the anxiety. Sure, the anxiety lingers (徘徊) for a while, but every time we laugh, we can reduce it(笑感觉很好。它是上瘾的，我们可以一直想要更多。当我们经常笑时，我们的焦虑开始减少。当我们有幽默感并且给自己一个机会每天笑一会儿，哪怕只是短暂的时间，我们的注意力就会分散。而不是把内心或外界的世界看作一个令人担忧的地方，我们开始把它看作是一个好、安全，甚至可能是有趣的地方。我们开始超越焦虑。当然，焦虑会徘徊一段时间，但每次我们笑的时候，我们都可以减轻它)”可知，笑的感觉很好。它让人上瘾。由此可知，第四段关注的是笑的功能。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Anxiety isn’t funny. When we feel worried or afraid, the last thing we feel like doing is laughing. Finding humor can be difficult when we live with anxiety. However, if we begin to look for humor, we can find that laughter can be a great coping skill.(焦虑并不好笑。当我们感到担心或害怕时，我们最不想做的事情就是大笑。当我们生活在焦虑中时，寻找幽默可能很困难。然而，如果我们开始寻找幽默，我们会发现笑声是一种很好的应对技巧。).”，由此可知，本文主要介绍了笑对缓解焦虑的积极作用，因此最容易感到紧张的人最需要阅读这篇文章。故选B项。 D HELSINKI—Driven by a passion for giant pandas, Finnish scientists are learning how to cultivate bamboo in freezing temperatures not normally beneficial to growing the primary food source for these special animals. In early 2018, a pair of giant pandas from China made their first public appearance at the Ahtari Zoo in central Finland. It was the first time that pandas had come to live in Northern Europe, and the event was met with great enthusiasm from the Finnish public. The pandas, Hua Bao and Jin Baobao, were nicknamed “Pyry” and “Lumi” — meaning “heavy snowfall” and “snow”— by their hosts in Finland. Meanwhile, two years before their arrival, a group of local farmers had taken up the challenge of growing bamboo in the country where temperatures often fall to below 30 degrees Celsius in winter. The farmers have persevered despite failures and difficulties, and their efforts are now bearing fruit as they have succeeded in growing bamboo in the extreme cold. Over the years, agricultural advisor Jari Luokkakallio has become an expert on bamboo cultivation, driven by the desire to build the best possible food reserves for the pandas. “I think the pandas prefer the bamboo that I bring to them,” Luokkakallio said. “It is fresh and local.” Around 50 farmers joined in the bamboo cultivation project when it was first launched in 2016. “The first year was very, very hard,” Luokkakallio said. “When the temperature dropped to minus 30 in November and December, we lost every single bamboo plant.” The next year, the farmers started all over again, he said. “And we came to understand that we had to better protect the bamboo.” Looking back on such experiences, Luokkakallio stressed that it was important to adopt techniques suitable for Finland’s climate. For example, snow can be used as a natural insulator (绝缘体) for bamboo plants. When Luokkakallio learned that bamboo grows in China’s cool, slightly wet mountainous areas, he was convinced it could also grow in snowy Finland. “The snow actually provides the best protection for the bamboo, an evergreen plant,” Luokkakallio said. Covering bamboo with snow ensures enough moisture (湿度) for the leaves, he said, so that they remain green and fresh. By conducting experiments and learning from mistakes, Luokkakallio said he discovered Finland-specific ways to protect bamboo, which is crucial for sustaining the pandas’ diet locally. Finland’s local bamboo production currently makes up just a small part of the food supply for the two giant pandas, providing an alternative when extreme situations could affect the timely arrival of imported bamboo. “Growing bamboo is our hobby, not a business,” Luokkakallio said, adding that he and his colleagues are delighted to be able to provide some backup (后援) food reserves for the lovely pandas in Ahtari. “My grandsons are also very proud of me because what I’m doing for the two pandas is special.” 12. What does the underlined word “persevered” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Cheered up. B. Given up. C. Kept trying. D. Continued worrying. 13. Why did Luokkakallio say the first year to plant bamboo was rather difficult? A All the bamboo shoots died from lack of water. B. The output of bamboo plants was very small. C. All the bamboo plants were frozen to death. D. The bamboo plants grew very slowly. 14. How does Luokkakallio keep the bamboo leaves green and fresh? A. By watering the plants from time to time. B. By using snow to cover the bamboo plants. C. By spraying some special chemicals on the plants. D. By growing the bamboo plants in greenhouses. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Cultivating bamboo for pandas in Finland B. Pandas have been used to living in Finland C. Finland-specific ways to protect bamboo D. Bamboo can grow in snowy Finland 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章报道了芬兰科学家和农民挑战极寒环境种植竹子，只为给大熊猫提供食物。尽管面临重重困难，他们已成功在极端气候下培育出竹子，确保熊猫饮食供应，展现了创新与坚持的精神。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段中“despite failures and difficulties, and their efforts are now bearing fruit as they have succeeded in growing bamboo in the extreme cold. (尽管失败和困难，他们的努力现在正在取得成果，因为他们成功地在极端寒冷的条件下种植了竹子。)”可知，尽管遭遇失败和困难，农民们仍然坚持不懈，他们成功地在极端寒冷的条件下种植了竹子。可推知persevered意为“持续努力，不断尝试”。A. Cheered up高兴起来；B. Given up放弃；C. Kept trying一直在努力；D. Continued worrying持续担忧。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段中““The first year was very, very hard,” Luokkakallio said. “When the temperature dropped to minus 30 in November and December, we lost every single bamboo plant.”(“第一年非常非常艰难，”卢卡卡里奥说。“当11月和12月气温降至零下30度时，我们失去了每一棵竹子。”)”可知，第一年种植竹子非常困难是因为所有竹子都被冻死了。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段中“Covering bamboo with snow ensures enough moisture (湿度) for the leaves, he said, so that they remain green and fresh. (他说，用雪覆盖竹子可以确保树叶有足够的湿度，这样它们就能保持绿色和新鲜。)”可知，Luokkakallio通过用雪覆盖竹子来保持竹叶的绿色和新鲜。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“HELSINKI—Driven by a passion for giant pandas, Finnish scientists are learning how to cultivate bamboo in freezing temperatures not normally beneficial to growing the primary food source for these special animals. (HELSINKI——出于对大熊猫的热爱，芬兰科学家正在研究如何在通常不利于生长这种特殊动物的主要食物来源的低温下培育竹子。)”可知，文章主要讲述了芬兰科学家和农民如何克服严寒，学习在极寒条件下种植竹子，以供给大熊猫食用的故事。因此，最合适的标题是选项A“Cultivating bamboo for pandas in Finland (芬兰为大熊猫培育竹子)”。故选A。 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。 Everyone has to deal with people they disagree with at times.

In the charm of school life, where classrooms are seats of learning and the schoolyard becomes a source of memory, there are a number of stories mixed with humor, warmth, and teacher-student relationships. Mr. Brown was a countryside teacher, but not an ordinary one; he was a storyteller, a mentor (导师), and a friend to all his students. His classroom was a world of its own, full of colorful characters and brilliant ideas. One day, during the noon break, a student named Julie noticed a young cat wandering with fairly quick, light and quiet steps through the familiar grounds where many schoolyard tales were born. Julie took her to Mr. Brown, who had magical tricks for handling even the smallest things. With Mr. Brown’s permission, Julie and her classmates built a shelter for the cat in a corner of the campus. The days turned into weeks, and the cat grew under the care of Mr. Brown and his students. Once in a while, she became a temporary resident of the classroom, much to the delight of the whole class. They named her “Campus”, a name that generalized (概括) the spirit of their school days. As the year progressed, Campus was not just an animal, but a tie connecting each of them and a thread of continuity in their lives. She played on desks, slept in chairs, and hid in folders, thus becoming an unofficial mascot (吉祥物) of the classroom. The students found comfort in her presence, and Mr. Brown was quite happy to watch them grow through her company. As graduation neared, Mr. Brown gathered his students for one last lesson. He told them that they would soon be exploring new horizons. He reminded them that life was full of unforeseeable twists and turns along with unexpected potentials, just like the appearance of a cat in their schoolyard. At the moment, the students were greatly touched and deep down there arose a strong love for the memorable warmth and hearty laughter of their school days. Then, Mr. Brown and the students agreed to meet there once again in eight years. 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。 Time seemed to go very fast. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, they saw something familiar outside their former classroom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Time seemed to go very fast. Eight years passed by in a flash. The students coincidentally recalled the agreement with Mr. Brown to meet again in eight years. That morning, the students arrived at school very early, and Mr. Brown warmly embraced every student. Although many years passed, Mr. Brown was still as humorous and warm as before. The unforgettable warmth of their student days surged in their hearts, and the hearty laughter of the past echoed in their ears from time to time. It was Mr. Brown who made their school life full of charm and the campus a source of beautiful memories for them. It was Mr. Brown who integrated many stories, humor, warmth, and teacher-student relationships into their classroom. Then, they saw something familiar outside their former classroom. A shelter for kittens! Yes, it was with Mr. Brown’s permission that Julie and her classmates built a shelter for Campus in a corner of the campus. Campus connected them all together. Mr. Brown’s magical skills in handling the smallest things left a deep impression on them, and always reminded them that life was full of unpredictable twists and unexpected potential, inspiring them to positively explore new perspectives. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一位不普通的乡村教师布朗先生的故事，布朗先生和他的学生在校园里有很多故事，一个名叫朱莉的学生在操场上捡到一只小猫，带着小猫去找布朗先生，布朗先生让他的学生们在校园的一个角落里为小猫建了一个庇护所，小猫在布朗先生和学生们的共同照顾下长大了，他们给小猫起名叫做“Campus”，同学们也一起成长，小猫给他们带来了很多欢乐，临近毕业，布朗先生召集他的学生上最后一堂课，同学们感动，他们约定八年后再在这里见面。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“时间似乎过得很快。”可知，第一段可描写八年后学生们和布朗老师见面的情景，回忆美好的校园生活，感恩布朗老师。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后，他们在以前的教室外看到了一些熟悉的东西。”可知，第二段可描写学生们看到的熟悉的事情——小猫的庇护所，感叹布朗老师的处理问题的技巧对学生的影响。 2.续写线索：时间飞逝——和布朗老师重逢——感受校园美好——感恩布朗老师带给他们的美好校园回忆——教室外熟悉的东西：小猫庇护所——布朗老师处理问题的神奇技巧——对学生的深刻影响——激励着学生探索新的世界 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回忆：recall / recollect ②涌现：surge / emerge ③把……融入：integrate…into / blend …into 情绪类 ①热情地：warmly / heartily ②积极地：positively / with positive attitude 【点睛】 【高分句型1】It was Mr. Brown who made their school life full of charm and the campus a source of beautiful memories for them.
