Chances are that your kids rarely see bills and coins exchange hands. Living in a digital world, it’s difficult for kids to understand what really happens when adults pay for things. The following are some money games for kids that can teach them the different values of bills and coins, how to handle money, and even economics. Buy It Right Age range: Ages 7 to 12 Buy It Right lets kids get hands-on experience dealing with bills and coins while introducing the concept of prices and thinking through whether an object is too expensive or not. Kids set their prices and buy and sell items while moving their piece around the board. Money Match Me Age range: Ages 5 to 8 While not entirely a game, Money Match Me can be a fun way to test kids’ knowledge of coins. One card shows a group of coins needing to be matched with a written description. For example, a picture of three quarters would be matched with a card that says “seventy-five cents”. Money Bags Age range: Recommended for ages 7+ If your kids need practice counting money and telling apart different coins, the Money Bags game can help. As players move along the board, they collect money from the bank. The winner is the person who has the most money when the game ends. Pay Day Age range: Ages 8 and up This classic board game simulates what it’s like to get a paycheck each month while also having financial duties. Players are also able to receive 10% interest on the balance of their savings. The player with the most cash and savings at the end wins. 1 What is the skill focus of Buy It Right? A. Introducing basic business concepts. B. Recognizing different bills and coins. C. Learning to identify and count money. D. Making kids consider prices and expenses. 2. Which money game recommends the youngest age limit? A. Buy It Right. B. Money Bags. C. Money Match Me. D. Pay Day. 3. What do Money Bags and Pay Day have in common? A. Players focus on adding different bills. B. Whoever owns the most money is the winner. C. Kids learn how to budget in a reasonable way. D. Kids are able to receive interest on their savings. B Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage in common: They don’t have windows. That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students. “Most of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest told CBS News. “And they don’t really get to see any trees, grass, or the blue sky.” He said the gray walls could be depressing to the kids and may affect their attention and even their attendance. This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez, who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. Rodriguez became a park ranger (公园管理员) on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion — landscape photography. It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. So an idea to bring nature into rooms occurred to him: Why not bring landscapes in classrooms — via the ceiling (天花板), because teachers don’t typically use them. Rodriguez took 360 degree shots of tree canopies (树冠) using his photography skills, then he printed them and fit them onto the classroom ceiling of Earnest’s fifth grade. “Beautiful.” one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.” Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier,” he said. 4. What can we infer about classrooms without windows at Taft Elementary? A. They help students focus more on studies. B. They might make students feel less happy. C. They offer a similar experience to being outdoors. D. They have no impact on students’ mental health. 5. Why did Ernesto Rodriguez bring landscapes into classrooms? A. To promote his photography skills. B. To connect the students with nature. C. To improve the teachers’ performance. D. To create an exciting environment for the students. 6. How did the students react to Rodriguez’s picture on the classroom ceiling? A. They were in favour of the new addition. B. They preferred the original gray ceiling. C. They failed to concentrate on lessons. D. They did not notice the change. 7. What’s Logan Earnest’s attitude towards the change in the classroom? A. Curious but unsure. B. Cautious and objective. C. Concerned but doubtful. D. Appreciative and supportive. C Elephants’ important role in maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems has earned them various names including ecosystem engineers and forest gardeners. However, African forest elephants — a species living in the rainforests of central Africa — are increasingly recognized by another name: “climate heroes”. African forest elephants help lessen climate change by increasing carbon storage in their forest habitats, meaning they help remove heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere. They do this by influencing the forest structure, including by increasing the diversity and abundance of plant species. It’s estimated that one forest elephant can increase the net carbon capture (捕获) capacity of the forest by almost 250 acres. This is equal to removing from the atmosphere a year’s worth of emissions (排放量) from 2,047 cars. “As strange as it seems all that eating and destruction help the forest pull more carbon out of the air,” says Alison Pearce Stevens in the book Animal Climate Heroes! . Elephants eat more than 400 pounds of food a day, so they spend a lot of time searching for food. As they walk through the forest, they do a lot of damage to the surrounding smaller trees, leading to the survival of trees that have the ability to absorb and store more CO2. In addition, their thirst for fruits also helps to promote forest growth. This is because elephants disperse fruit seeds. In other words, the seeds pass through the elephant bodies until they drop back to the forest floor. But African forest elephants are seriously endangered and continue to face threats. These mainly come from hunting for the illegal international trade in elephant ivory (象牙), but also from habitat loss and fewer food sources. The number of forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a period of 31 years, and their habitats are thought to have reduced by 75%. Protecting forest elephants and the forests they depend on means we are safeguarding their ecological contributions that we all rely on. 8. How do African forest elephants help relieve climate change? A. They increase the diversity of wildlife species. B. They help to maintain the plants of the forest. C. They take in heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere. D. They promote the net carbon capture ability of the forest. 9. What does the underlined word “disperse” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Consume. B. Preserve. C. Spread. D. Gather. 10. What are the threats facing African forest elephants? A. Illegal hunting and habitat loss. B. The disturbed balance of the forest ecosystem. C. Natural disasters resulting from climate change. D. Competition for water sources with other animals. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Preserving Forests: Elephants’ Contribution B. New Role of African Forest Elephants: Climate Heroes C. Ivory Trade Threatens African Forest Elephants D. Forest Elephants Are Approaching the Edge of Extinction D Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors (反射器) placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set. In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power. Their models showed that putting 20 thin reflectors into orbit 1,000 kilometers from Earth could reflect sunlight to solar farms for an extra two hours each day on average. The additional sunlight could increase the output of the world’s future solar farms, particularly after sunset when electricity demand is high. The output could be scaled up further by adding more reflectors or increasing their size. The team developed an algorithm (算法) to determine how the reflectors could be arranged to catch the sun’s rays most effectively, maximizing the additional sunlight reflected to solar farms around Earth in the early morning and late evening. The researchers suggested that 20 reflectors could produce an extra 728 MWh of electricity per day — equal to adding an additional large solar power farm to Earth without the cost of construction. Dr. Onur Çelik, one author of the paper, said, “Solar power has the potential to speed our race to reach net-zero, helping us to relieve the global impacts of climate change by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.”Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world. One of the major limitations of solar power, of course, is that it can only be generated during daylight hours. Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come. Strategically placing new solar farms in locations which receive the most additional sunlight from the reflectors could make them even more effective. 12. What is the purpose of placing reflectors in space? A. To improve communication between Earth and space. B. To bring the effects of climate change under control. C. To produce electricity for agricultural use. D. To increase the production of solar power. 13. What may contribute to the application of large-scale solar farms? A. The increased demand for electricity. B. The decrease in the cost of solar panels. C The development of space technology. D. The requirement to preserve the environment. 14. What can be inferred about the future of solar farms? A. They’ll replace fossil fuels completely. B. They’ll become the main source of energy. C. They’ll be more cost-effective and efficient. D. They’ll rely mainly on orbiting reflectors for sunlight. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A news report. B. A maths website. C. A marketing brochure. D. A policy brief. 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。 Life will always present challenges, but how you respond to them will lead your life’s tracks.

They decided to make this particular one special. Instead of their usual dinner dates and overseas vacations, the two decided to take this particular anniversary to the next level. For this vacation, they decided to take a trip back to where they first met. The hike was filled with memories. The two went to many of the spots they had visited on their first trip. It wasn’t until they started looking through the pictures to see which they would keep that something in the background of one of those photographs caught their eyes. There was something in the distance in the picture. It was too small to make out in detail, but it was definitely there. Jullie wanted to find out whatever that was, so they returned to the spot. Jake had been sure that they wouldn’t find anything there, but the moment he entered the spot, he knew he’d been wrong. Just a few feet away from him and Jullie lay the whitest dog he’d ever seen in his life. Something must have been wrong with it, he thought. That night, Jake and Jullie found themselves in their accommodation with a new roommate. Throughout the night, the dog hid in a corner. Something was definitely wrong with the dog. Its movements were slow, and no matter what they tried, it didn’t seem to respond. The next day, Jullie suggested they take the dog to a vet (兽医) and Jake agreed. On getting to the vet’s, they were in for another surprise. The vet hadn’t even examined the creature for one minute before he turned to them with an amused look on his face. “Didn’t you say you found a dog?” he asked. “Yes,” Jake replied. “Well, I’d love to see the dog, but what you’ve found in the woods is not a dog. It’s actually a fox.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jake and Jullie looked at each other in disbelief. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next few days, they visited the vet regularly to see the fox. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 ABABC 6—10 ABACA 11—15 BABCC 16—20 BCABA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高一考试英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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?

Kids set their prices and buy and sell items while moving their piece around the board.( Buy It Right让孩子们获得处理纸币和硬币的实践经验，同时引入价格的概念，并思考一件物品是否太贵。孩子们一边在棋盘上移动棋子，一边设定价格，买卖物品。)”可知，该游戏引入价格的概念并让孩子思考物品是否太贵，由此可知，该游戏侧重于让孩子学会考虑价格和开支。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Buy It Right部分中的“Age range: Ages 7 to 12(年龄范围：7 - 12岁)”可知，使用的最低年龄为7岁、Money Match Me部分中的“Age range: Ages 5 to 8(年龄范围：5 - 8岁)”可知，使用的最低年龄为5岁、Money Bags部分中的“Age range: Recommended for ages 7+(年龄：推荐7岁以上儿童观看)”可知，使用的最低年龄为7岁以上，以及Pay Day部分中的“Age range: Ages 8 and up(适合年龄：8岁及以上)” 可知，使用的最低年龄为8岁以上，综合以上信息可知，在四个小游戏的年龄界定中，Money Match Me使用的年龄标准最低。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Money Bags部分中的“The winner is the person who has the most money when the game ends.(当游戏结束时，赢家是拥有最多钱的人。)”可知，在Money Bags中，拥有最多钱的人是赢家，结合Pay Day部分中的“The player with the most cash and savings at the end wins.(最后拥有最多现金和储蓄的玩家获胜。)”可知，在Pay Day中，拥有最多现金和储蓄的玩家获胜，由此可知，这两款小游戏的共同点是“谁拥有最多的钱谁就是赢家”。故选B项。 B Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage in common: They don’t have windows. That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students. “Most of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest told CBS News. “And they don’t really get to see any trees, grass, or the blue sky.” He said the gray walls could be depressing to the kids and may affect their attention and even their attendance. This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. Rodriguez became a park ranger (公园管理员) on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion — landscape photography. It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. So an idea to bring nature into rooms occurred to him: Why not bring landscapes in classrooms — via the ceiling (天花板), because teachers don’t typically use them. Rodriguez took 360 degree shots of tree canopies (树冠) using his photography skills, then he printed them and fit them onto the classroom ceiling of Earnest’s fifth grade. “Beautiful.” one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.” Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier,” he said. 4. What can we infer about classrooms without windows at Taft Elementary? A. They help students focus more on studies. B. They might make students feel less happy. C. They offer a similar experience to being outdoors. D. They have no impact on students’ mental health. 5. Why did Ernesto Rodriguez bring landscapes into classrooms? A. To promote his photography skills. B. To connect the students with nature. C. To improve the teachers’ performance. D. To create an exciting environment for the students. 6. How did the students react to Rodriguez’s picture on the classroom ceiling? A. They were in favour of the new addition. B. They preferred the original gray ceiling. C. They failed to concentrate on lessons. D. They did not notice the change. 7. What’s Logan Earnest’s attitude towards the change in the classroom? A. Curious but unsure. B. Cautious and objective. C. Concerned but doubtful. D. Appreciative and supportive. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲的是Ernesto Rodriguez利用摄影技术，拍摄树的照片安装在教室的天花板上，这对于学生有很大的好处。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“He said the gray walls could be depressing to the kids and may affect their attention and even their attendance.(他说，灰色墙壁可能会让孩子们感到沮丧，可能会影响他们的注意力，甚至影响他们的出勤率。)”可知塔夫脱小学没有窗户的教室可能会让学生感到不快乐。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. So an idea to bring nature into rooms occurred to him: Why not bring landscapes in classrooms(在他接受成为一名公园管理员的培训期间，他了解到一个事实：那些能看到窗外树木的孩子在学业、情感和创造力方面都做得更好。因此，他想到了一个将自然带入房间的想法：为什么不将风景带入教室呢)”可知Ernesto Rodriguez将风景带进课堂的原因是为了让学生与大自然联系起来，以便让孩子们在学业、情感和创造力方面做得更好。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数二段““Beautiful.” one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.”(“真漂亮。”一名学生走进教室时说。另一名学生说，这些树给他带来了平静，“当你抬头看时，感觉就像坐在树下。”)”可知学生们赞成Ernesto Rodriguez把照片挂在教室天花板上。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier,” he said.(Earnest说，他认为这会对他的学生产生许多积极的影响。“我认为我的出勤率会上升。孩子们会想更频繁地来这里。总的来说，我认为孩子们会更快乐。”)”可知Earnest对课堂变化的态度是赞赏和支持的。故选D项。 C Elephants’ important role in maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems has earned them various names including ecosystem engineers and forest gardeners. However, African forest elephants — a species living in the rainforests of central Africa — are increasingly recognized by another name: “climate heroes”. African forest elephants help lessen climate change by increasing carbon storage in their forest habitats, meaning they help remove heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere. They do this by influencing the forest structure, including by increasing the diversity and abundance of plant species. It’s estimated that one forest elephant can increase the net carbon capture (捕获) capacity of the forest by almost 250 acres. This is equal to removing from the atmosphere a year’s worth of emissions (排放量) from 2,047 cars. “As strange as it seems, all that eating and destruction help the forest pull more carbon out of the air,” says Alison Pearce Stevens in the book Animal Climate Heroes! . Elephants eat more than 400 pounds of food a day, so they spend a lot of time searching for food. As they walk through the forest, they do a lot of damage to the surrounding smaller trees, leading to the survival of trees that have the ability to absorb and store more CO2. In addition, their thirst for fruits also helps to promote forest growth. This is because elephants disperse fruit seeds. In other words, the seeds pass through the elephant bodies until they drop back to the forest floor. But African forest elephants are seriously endangered and continue to face threats. These mainly come from hunting for the illegal international trade in elephant ivory (象牙), but also from habitat loss and fewer food sources. The number of forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a period of 31 years, and their habitats are thought to have reduced by 75%. Protecting forest elephants and the forests they depend on means we are safeguarding their ecological contributions that we all rely on. 8. How do African forest elephants help relieve climate change? A. They increase the diversity of wildlife species. B. They help to maintain the plants of the forest. C. They take in heat-trapping CO2 from the atmosphere. D. They promote the net carbon capture ability of the forest. 9. What does the underlined word “disperse” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Consume. B. Preserve. C. Spread. D. Gather. 10. What are the threats facing African forest elephants? A. Illegal hunting and habitat loss. B. The disturbed balance of the forest ecosystem. C. Natural disasters resulting from climate change. D. Competition for water sources with other animals. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Preserving Forests: Elephants’ Contribution B. New Role of African Forest Elephants: Climate Heroes C. Ivory Trade Threatens African Forest Elephants D. Forest Elephants Are Approaching the Edge of Extinction 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非洲森林象有助于提升森林的碳捕获能力减缓气候变化被称作“气候英雄”，以及它们面临的威胁。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“It’s estimated that one forest elephant can increase the net carbon capture (捕获) capacity of the forest by almost 250 acres. (据估计，一头森林大象可以使森林的净碳捕获能力增加近250英亩。)”可知，非洲森林象通过提高森林的碳捕获能力来帮助减缓气候变化。故选D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词的上文“In addition, their thirst for fruits also helps to promote forest growth. (此外，它们对水果的渴望也有助于促进森林的生长)”以及下文“In other words, the seeds pass through the elephant bodies until they drop back to the forest floor.( 换句话说，种子穿过大象的身体，直到它们掉回森林地面)”可知，大象喜欢吃水果，而水果的种子通过大象的排泄从大象体内回到森林地面，这帮助散播了水果种子，有助于促进森林的生长。故disperse 同spread “传播”意思相近。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。文章最后一段中“These mainly come from hunting for the illegal international trade in elephant ivory (象牙), but also from habitat loss and fewer food sources. The number of forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a period of 31 years, and their habitats are thought to have reduced by 75%. (这些主要来自对象牙非法国际贸易的狩猎，也来自栖息地的丧失和食物来源的减少。在31年的时间里，森林大象的数量减少了86%以上，它们的栖息地被认为减少了75%)”可知，非洲森林象面临的主要威胁是非法狩猎、栖息地丧失和食物来源减少。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段“Elephants’ important role in maintaining biodiversity and healthy ecosystems has earned them various names including ecosystem engineers and forest gardeners. However, African forest elephants — a species living in the rainforests of central Africa — are increasingly recognized by another name: “climate heroes”. (大象在维持生物多样性和健康生态系统方面的重要作用为它们赢得了各种各样的名字，包括生态系统工程师和森林园丁。然而，非洲森林象——一种生活在中非热带雨林中的物种——越来越多地被另一个名字所认可：‘气候英雄’。)”可知，本文主要讲述了非洲森林象如何通过增加森林的碳捕获能力来缓解气候变化，被称作“气候英雄”，以及非洲森林象所面临的威胁；因此，最适合的标题是B选项“非洲森林象的新角色：气候英雄”，故选B。 D Space engineers from the University of Glasgow have published new research showing how reflectors (反射器) placed in orbit around Earth could increase the output of future large-scale solar farms by reflecting additional sunlight toward them even after the sun has set. In their paper, the researchers described how they used advanced computer models to help determine the most effective method of using orbiting solar reflectors to produce additional power. Their models showed that putting 20 thin reflectors into orbit 1,000 kilometers from Earth could reflect sunlight to solar farms for an extra two hours each day on average. The additional sunlight could increase the output of the world’s future solar farms, particularly after sunset when electricity demand is high. The output could be scaled up further by adding more reflectors or increasing their size. The team developed an algorithm (算法) to determine how the reflectors could be arranged to catch the sun’s rays most effectively, maximizing the additional sunlight reflected to solar farms around Earth in the early morning and late evening. The researchers suggested that 20 reflectors could produce an extra 728 MWh of electricity per day — equal to adding an additional large solar power farm to Earth without the cost of construction. Dr. Onur Çelik, one author of the paper, said, “Solar power has the potential to speed our race to reach net-zero, helping us to relieve the global impacts of climate change by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.”Moreover, the price of solar panels (太阳能电池板) has dropped quickly in recent years, increasing the pace of their adoption and paving the way for the creation of large solar farms around the world. One of the major limitations of solar power, of course, is that it can only be generated during daylight hours. Putting orbiting solar reflectors in space would help to maximize the effectiveness of solar farms in the years to come. Strategically placing new solar farms in locations which receive the most additional sunlight from the reflectors could make them even more effective. 12. What is the purpose of placing reflectors in space? A. To improve communication between Earth and space. B. To bring the effects of climate change under control. C. To produce electricity for agricultural use. D. To increase the production of solar power. 13. What may contribute to the application of large-scale solar farms? A. The increased demand for electricity. B. The decrease in the cost of solar panels. C. The development of space technology. D. The requirement to preserve the environment. 14. What can be inferred about the future of solar farms? A. They’ll replace fossil fuels completely. B. They’ll become the main source of energy. C. They’ll be more cost-effective and efficient. D. They’ll rely mainly on orbiting reflectors for sunlight. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A news report. B. A maths website. C. A marketing brochure. D. A policy brief. 【答案】12.

They decided to make this particular one special. Instead of their usual dinner dates and overseas vacations, the two decided to take this particular anniversary to the next level. For this vacation, they decided to take a trip back to where they first met. The hike was filled with memories. The two went to many of the spots they had visited on their first trip. It wasn’t until they started looking through the pictures to see which they would keep that something in the background of one of those photographs caught their eyes. There was something in the distance in the picture. It was too small to make out in detail, but it was definitely there. Jullie wanted to find out whatever that was, so they returned to the spot. Jake had been sure that they wouldn’t find anything there, but the moment he entered the spot, he knew he’d been wrong. Just a few feet away from him and Jullie lay the whitest dog he’d ever seen in his life. Something must have been wrong with it, he thought. That night, Jake and Jullie found themselves in their accommodation with a new roommate. Throughout the night, the dog hid in a corner. Something was definitely wrong with the dog. Its movements were slow, and no matter what they tried, it didn’t seem to respond. The next day, Jullie suggested they take the dog to a vet (兽医) and Jake agreed. On getting to the vet’s, they were in for another surprise. The vet hadn’t even examined the creature for one minute before he turned to them with an amused look on his face. “Didn’t you say you found a dog?” he asked. “Yes,” Jake replied. “Well, I’d love to see the dog, but what you’ve found in the woods is not a dog. It’s actually a fox.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jake and Jullie looked at each other in disbelief. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next few days, they visited the vet regularly to see the fox. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Jake and Jullie looked at each other in disbelief. The vet seemed to read their thoughts as he explained that while it was indeed a fox, it had likely been affected by some sort of poisoning, which explained its strange behavior. He confirmed them that with the right treatment, the fox could recover soon and that it would be best if the fox could stay at the clinic for a few days. Feeling a mix of relief and concern, they agreed to the necessary treatments. Over the next few days, they visited the vet regularly to see the fox. Each time, they were greeted with news of improvement. Finally, the day came when the fox was well enough to be released back into the wild. As the fox rushed away into the woods, they knew that their anniversary trip would be one they would never forget. It had been a journey filled with surprises and challenges, but in the end, it had brought them closer to each other and to the natural world around them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了杰克和朱莉用不同的方式庆祝他们的结婚十周年纪念日。两人去了他们第一次旅行时去过的许多地方。徒步旅行中他们救了一只狐狸。这是一段充满惊喜和挑战的旅程，让他们更接近彼此，也更接近周围的自然世界。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“杰克和朱莉难以置信地看着对方。”可知，第一段可描写杰克和朱莉把那只白色的“狗”带到兽医诊所，被告知是救了一只狐狸。狐狸中毒在诊所接受治疗。二人即感到宽慰，又感到担忧。 ②由第二段首句内容“在接下来的几天里，他们定期去兽医那里看狐狸。”可知，第二段可描写二人见证了狐狸的康复，并放归野外。这是一段充满惊喜和挑战的旅程，感悟到与大自然的接近，二人也更加亲近彼此。 2.续写线索：徒步旅行——照片中发现不一样的东西——这只狗一直不离开他们——发现这只狗的异常——带去看兽医——检查是中毒，救了一直白狐狸——狐狸康复被放生——这使得这次旅行不同于以往——感悟到更接近大自然——更接近彼此 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①使确信：confirm / convince ②匆匆跑开：rushed away / ran away ③拒绝：be filled with / be full of 情绪类 ①充满惊喜：filled with surprises / full of amazement ②既感到宽慰又感到担忧：Feeling a mix of relief and concern / Feeling both relieved and worried 【点睛】 【高分句型1】Finally, the day came when the fox was well enough to be released back into the wild.
