WalletHub’s Best and Worst States to Retire in 2024 Best Worst 1. Florida 50. Kentucky 2. Colorado 49. New Jersey 3. Virginia 48. Mississippi 4. Delaware 47 Rhode Island 5. Wyoming 46. Oklahoma WalletHub used three main categories to rank the retirement friendliness of all 50 states: Affordability. Quality of life. Health care. While Florida ranked first overall as the best state for retirees and No. I in the quality of life category, it scored lower for health care and affordability. Popular Florida cities rank among WalletHub’s top 10 places hit hardest by inflation (通货膨胀), so retirees need to anticipate a potentially higher cost of living due to inflation. On the other hand, the state doesn’t demand any income tax, which means income from Social Security and withdrawals from retirement accounts won’t be taxed at the state level. Besides, retirees may enjoy the state’s mostly pleasant weather and miles of shoreline. Remember, while lists like these can be helpful as you figure out where you’d like to eventually spend your post-work years, your idea of the “perfect” place to retire will depend on a number of personal factors, such as your own circumstances, preferences and priorities. 1. Which state ranks last for retirees in 2024 according to WalletHub? A. Florida. B. Kentucky. C. Wyoming. D. Oklahoma. 2. Which aspect of Florida may appeal to retirees most? A. Medical services. B. Low living expenses. C. Income security. D. Favorable tax policy. 3. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A finance book. B. A geography textbook. C. A public report. D. A commercial speech. B Located on the banks of Lake Atitlán, Santa Catarina Palopó is a small town with amazing natural views. Despite its natural beauty and cultural heritage, the community struggled with economic development for years until they had the opportunity to use the power of art and transform the town. Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó (PSCP) was born out of a desire to bring color and life to the town through the act of painting all 960 buildings with traditional symbols and designs inspired by the blouses woven (编织) by local women. Under the leadership of Claudia Boschand the Casa Palopó hotel, the project took shape with the support of local authorities, volunteers, sponsors, and the community. The painting process was structured to ensure efficiency and community involvement. Local families were brought into the process, working with project teams to decide how their homes would be painted. The family would then help sand, clean, and prime (上底漆) the walls before the professional painters joined in to complete the painting process. Throughout the project, the team ensured that no family was left behind, and the professional painters provided guidance to ensure that every building was exceptional. The project has changed the lives of residents and visitors alike. It has increased cultural tourism awareness, created new jobs, and improved the overall quality of life in the community. Alongside this project, the community has worked to champion growing and celebrating local produce, strengthen family interests, and promote community development. The paintings symbolize hope and progress, inspiring other communities to hug the magic of art in their own ways. 4. What was the original purpose of establishing PSCP? A. To bring liveliness to the town. B. To rebuild symbolic houses. C. To guarantee the locals a job. D. To pass down tailoring skills. 5. What is the highlight in the painting process? A. Professional training. B. Painters’ leading role. C. Traditional materials. D. Families’ engagement. 6. What can we learn about the project from the last paragraph? A. It inspires the locals to pursue an art career. B. It shows how to measure community spirit. C. It goes far beyond just economic benefits. D. It proves art is a must for successful projects. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Art of Painting: A Treasure for Human Beings B. Natural Beauty: The Drive for Rural Tourism C. The Colourful Story of Santa Catarina Palopó D. Big Cultural Heritage of a Small Town C One inconvenient truth for the clean energy industry is the undeniable fact that wind turbines (涡轮机) kill birds. Researchers say smarter turbines could dramatically cut the toll. The American Bird Conservancy claims that at least one million bird deaths as a result of wind turbines a year in the US alone is likely to be an underestimate. That’s substantially less than the estimated 980 million birds a year that die crashing into buildings, or the 1.4 to 3.7 billion per year killed by domestic cats. But it’s still an unacceptable number, and a problem that needs to be addressed—because a fully green energy network will need more and more turbines over the coming decades. Researchers at SINTEF and the Norwegian Centre believe they have an idea that could help in a lot of cases. The idea—known as SKARV—is fairly simple: each turbine will have cameras fitted, capable of spotting birds flying directly into the path of the rotors (螺旋桨). Software will automatically calculate their predicted path, and if it looks like they’re in danger of being hit, the system will send control signals to slow the rotors down. In simulations (模拟), the system is able to avoid the vast majority of crashes. This, of course, doesn’t describe all situations. For example, if a young, inexperienced bird approaches a turbine displaying irregular flight behavior, it will not be possible to predict exactly where it will be a few seconds later. Prediction is also more difficult if several birds approach at the same time. Some researchers argue that birds are learning to avoid turbines voluntarily. But if more than a million birds a year haven’t got the memo yet it’s still a problem worth solving. We look forward to hearing how trials progress. 8 What does the underlined phrase “cut the toll” in paragraph I probably mean? A. Maximize efficiency. B. Reduce deaths. C. Lower costs. D. Prevent errors. 9. What can be inferred about bird death caused by wind turbines in paragraph 2? A. It tops the list of bird deaths. B. It calls for immediate action. C. It has been properly solved. D. It shows progress in technology. 10. How does SKARV make wind turbines intelligent? A. By keeping a constant speed. B. By recording birds’ behavior. C. By predicting potential danger. D. By sending warnings to birds. 11. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Challenges presented in simulations. B. Features of birds’ flying patterns. C. Examples of SKARV’s application D. Approaches to crash avoidance. D It’s normal to feel uncomfortable when spending time outside your home culture, even for an eagerly anticipated vacation. Feelings of discomfort, dislocation, and overload are so common among travelers that they’re referred to by many as “culture shock”. Although the term has existed since the 1950s, says Susan B. Goldstein, a psychology professor at the University of Redlands, it’s an outdated way to describe these adjustment challenges. “Culture shock” implies a dramatic, unexpected, negative event. Though the vast majority of travelers will experience such challenges, “a real sense of ‘shock’ is uncommon,” she adds, “so uncommon that many researchers no longer use the term.” Previously many researchers adopted the idea that culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent and universal set of stages. Modern research, however, suggests that the experiences of acculturation (文化适应) are individual, not universal. People will have their ups and downs, but for the most part, they will become increasingly comfortable and competent over time. While many blame the causes of culture shock on the host culture itself, an individual’s internal expectations are just as important. When travelers’ image of their destination does not correspond with reality, it can result in discomfort and even distress (忧虑). Realistic expectations can help, but so can a traveler’s attitude. In a 2023 study of 2,500 teenage exchange students, researchers found that though cultural stress was common among participants, those who faced those stresses head-on instead of turning to avoidance tended to perform better and were likelier to finish out their year without switching families or going home early. As for Mark Twain, the bad-tempered writer was able to ride out his feelings of distress while traveling. He eventually finished out his European tour — and in his bestselling travel memoir The Innocents Abroad, famously remarked that travel is “disastrous to prejudice and narrow-mindedness”. With the right attitude and the willingness to seek help, it’s more than likely that you, too, can adapt to new settings, building new memories with each new stamp in your passport. 12. What is Susan B. Goldstein’s opinion about culture shock? A. It doesn’t live up to the name. B. Its cause is rarely researched. C. It is unavoidable and harmful. D. Its influence is understudied. 13. Which factor determined exchange students’ performance from the study? A. Support from family. B. The level of stress. C. Their personal attitude. D. Ways of seeking help. 14. How did Mark Twain feel about the European tour? A. It was a rather intolerable experience. B. It was challenging yet rewarding. C. It was an inspiration for his career. D. It was full of regrets and sorrows. 15. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To call on travelers to bridge cultural gaps. B. To recommend a book on traveling abroad. C. To stress the significance of cultural diversity. D. To clarify the misunderstanding of culture shock. 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。 How effective are your brainstorming sessions? Does everyone get a chance to share their opinions? Do people with the loudest voices dominate the discussion? ___16___ A popular and lively form of brainwriting is known as 6-3-5. During a 6-3-5 session, brainwriting exercises are divided into several rounds. In each round, six people write down three ideas each within five minutes. After the first round, everyone exchanges their piece of paper with someone else, reads what’s on it, and then writes down three more ideas. ___17___ After six rounds, all the ideas on the worksheets are shared with the group. Although this example uses six people, you can invite any number of people to your brainwriting session. Other details can also be adapted to suit your needs, including the number of rounds. ___18___ Different from traditional brainstorming, everyone is equal in brainwriting. ___19___ People also have more time to think through their ideas and to develop them. This can help to encourage creativity, because it empowers people to put forward ideas that they might — in a normal brainstorming session — have considered too risky. If you think your team could benefit from a brainwriting session, you can try the skills to boost their creativity. ___20___ So, gather your team members, prepare enough paper, and you’re ready to go! A. Brainwriting has many advantages, too. B. Brainwriting works well as a pen-and-paper exercise. C. That’s because all participants get to contribute at the same time. D. Regular brainstorming is a tried-and-true way to generate new ideas. E. These can be new ideas, or build on ideas that have already been shared. F. One way to ensure that everyone gets a fair hearing is to use brainwriting. G. But most people find that aiming for three ideas in each round brings the best results. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On Sept.17, 2022, a father and son set out to begin the Ironman competition in Cambridge.

She put them on right away and was soon rushing along the sidewalk. Her little brother Max could only watch in envy. “I wish I had a pair!” he told his mum. “Well, you’re nearly big enough to wear Ruby’s old skates,” she replied. But when Max tried on Ruby’s old skates, they were too big. He stuffed newspaper into the boots. Much to his disappointment, he fell over each time he tried to stand up in them. Finally, he gave up, only watching Ruby skating around him. “I should put on a skating display!” Ruby decided. “All our aunts, uncles and cousins will come. You’ll watch me, Max?” Max sighed. He didn’t want to watch the show. He wanted to be in it! “Poor Max!” said his mum. Then, she took out a pair of thick red socks to let Max pull them on with the hope of fitting better. Max eyed the red socks skeptically, saying, “Mum, these look just like my red soccer socks, but smaller.” His mum smiled, “Ah, your red soccer socks are too thin and meant for running, but these are magic socks that have the power to expand and stretch to fit most feet... ” Magic? When Mum left the room, Max took the wand (魔杖) from his magic set and waved it around a few times. “Magic socks, you are so great! Use your magic to help me skate!” Max slipped the socks on and tried skating in his bedroom. He didn’t fall over! He tried again. He still didn’t fall. He could now skate — thanks to his magic socks! Hooray! The next morning, when he skated up to Ruby on one foot, she stared in amazement. “Max, you are magic!” Thrilled, Ruby invited him to join in the show. To prepare well for the show, Max practiced happily with the magic socks on every day. Max even tried tricks like jumps, believing the socks would help him. 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。 The show time came and their family gathered in the garden. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “But you’re not wearing magic socks!” said Mum. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 CABAC 6—10 ACBBA 11—15 CCBCB 16—20 ABCAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年度第二学期质量检测 高二英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 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） 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.

Kentucky”，可知，根据WalletHub，肯塔基州在2024年适合退休人员的州中排名最后。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“While Florida ranked first overall as the best state for retirees and No. I in the quality of life category, it scored lower for health care and affordability. Popular Florida cities rank among WalletHub’s top 10 places hit hardest by inflation (通货膨胀), so retirees need to anticipate a potentially higher cost of living due to inflation. On the other hand, the state doesn’t demand any income tax, which means income from Social Security and withdrawals from retirement accounts won’t be taxed at the state level. (佛罗里达州是最适合退休人员居住的州，排名第一。在生活质量方面，它在医疗保健和负担能力方面得分较低。佛罗里达的热门城市是WalletHub上受通货膨胀影响最严重的10个城市之一，所以退休人员需要预料到通货膨胀可能会导致生活成本上升。另一方面，该州不征收任何所得税，这意味着来自社会保障的收入和退休账户的提款不会在州一级征税。)”可推知，佛罗里达州吸引退休人员的最主要原因可能是有利的税收政策。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Florida has regained its position as the best American state for retirees in 2024, according to WalletHub’s latest “Best and Worst States to Retire” study.(根据WalletHub最新的“最佳和最差退休州”调查，佛罗里达州在2024年重新成为美国最适合退休人员的州。)”以及下文内容可知，文章提供了WalletHub的关于最适合和最不适合过退休生活的10个州排名的最新调查结果，并介绍了排名第一的佛罗里达州的优势和不足；由此可知，文章很可能来自于公共报告，而不是财政书、地理教科书或商业演讲。故选C项。 B Located on the banks of Lake Atitlán, Santa Catarina Palopó is a small town with amazing natural views.

Researchers say smarter turbines could dramatically cut the toll. The American Bird Conservancy claims that at least one million bird deaths as a result of wind turbines a year in the US alone is likely to be an underestimate. That’s substantially less than the estimated 980 million birds a year that die crashing into buildings, or the 1.4 to 3.7 billion per year killed by domestic cats. But it’s still an unacceptable number, and a problem that needs to be addressed—because a fully green energy network will need more and more turbines over the coming decades. Researchers at SINTEF and the Norwegian Centre believe they have an idea that could help in a lot of cases. The idea—known as SKARV—is fairly simple: each turbine will have cameras fitted, capable of spotting birds flying directly into the path of the rotors (螺旋桨). Software will automatically calculate their predicted path, and if it looks like they’re in danger of being hit, the system will send control signals to slow the rotors down. In simulations (模拟), the system is able to avoid the vast majority of crashes. This, of course, doesn’t describe all situations. For example, if a young, inexperienced bird approaches a turbine displaying irregular flight behavior, it will not be possible to predict exactly where it will be a few seconds later. Prediction is also more difficult if several birds approach at the same time. Some researchers argue that birds are learning to avoid turbines voluntarily. But if more than a million birds a year haven’t got the memo yet, it’s still a problem worth solving. We look forward to hearing how trials progress. 8. What does the underlined phrase “cut the toll” in paragraph I probably mean? A. Maximize efficiency. B. Reduce deaths. C. Lower costs. D. Prevent errors. 9. What can be inferred about bird death caused by wind turbines in paragraph 2? A. It tops the list of bird deaths. B. It calls for immediate action. C. It has been properly solved. D. It shows progress in technology. 10. How does SKARV make wind turbines intelligent? A. By keeping a constant speed. B. By recording birds’ behavior. C. By predicting potential danger. D. By sending warnings to birds. 11. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Challenges presented in simulations. B. Features of birds’ flying patterns. C. Examples of SKARV’s application D. Approaches to crash avoidance. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究人员表示，更智能的涡轮机可以大大减少死亡鸟类的死亡数量。介绍了这种智能涡轮机的工作原理以及存在的挑战。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“One inconvenient truth for the clean energy industry is the undeniable fact that wind turbines (涡轮机) kill birds.(对于清洁能源行业来说，一个难以忽视的事实是，不可否认的事实是，风力涡轮机会杀死鸟类)”以及第三段“Software will automatically calculate their predicted path, and if it looks like they’re in danger of being hit, the system will send control signals to slow the rotors down.(软件会自动计算出它们的预测路径，如果它们看起来有被击中的危险，系统就会发出控制信号，让旋翼减速)”可知，更智能的涡轮机可以大大减少死亡。故划线词意思是“减少死亡”。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But it’s still an unacceptable number, and a problem that needs to be addressed—because a fully green energy network will need more and more turbines over the coming decades.(但这仍然是一个不可接受的数字，也是一个需要解决的问题——因为在未来几十年里，一个完全绿色的能源网络将需要越来越多的涡轮机)”可知，风力涡轮机造成的鸟类死亡需要立即采取行动。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Software will automatically calculate their predicted path, and if it looks like they’re in danger of being hit, the system will send control signals to slow the rotors down.(软件会自动计算出它们的预测路径，如果它们看起来有被击中的危险，系统就会发出控制信号，让旋翼减速)”可知，SKARV通过预测潜在危险使风力涡轮机智能化。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“In simulations (模拟), the system is able to avoid the vast majority of crashes. This, of course, doesn’t describe all situations. For example, if a young, inexperienced bird approaches a turbine displaying irregular flight behavior, it will not be possible to predict exactly where it will be a few seconds later. Prediction is also more difficult if several birds approach at the same time.(在模拟中，该系统能够避免绝大多数崩溃。当然，这并不能描述所有的情况。例如，如果一只年轻的、没有经验的鸟接近一个表现出不规则飞行行为的涡轮机，就不可能准确预测几秒钟后它会在哪里。如果几只鸟同时接近，预测也会更加困难)”可知，第四段的主要内容是模拟中的挑战。故选A。 D It’s normal to feel uncomfortable when spending time outside your home culture, even for an eagerly anticipated vacation. Feelings of discomfort, dislocation, and overload are so common among travelers that they’re referred to by many as “culture shock”. Although the term has existed since the 1950s, says Susan B. Goldstein, a psychology professor at the University of Redlands, it’s an outdated way to describe these adjustment challenges. “Culture shock” implies a dramatic, unexpected, negative event. Though the vast majority of travelers will experience such challenges, “a real sense of ‘shock’ is uncommon,” she adds, “so uncommon that many researchers no longer use the term.” Previously many researchers adopted the idea that culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent and universal set of stages. Modern research, however, suggests that the experiences of acculturation (文化适应) are individual, not universal. People will have their ups and downs, but for the most part, they will become increasingly comfortable and competent over time. While many blame the causes of culture shock on the host culture itself, an individual’s internal expectations are just as important. When travelers’ image of their destination does not correspond with reality, it can result in discomfort and even distress (忧虑). Realistic expectations can help, but so can a traveler’s attitude. In a 2023 study of 2,500 teenage exchange students, researchers found that though cultural stress was common among participants, those who faced those stresses head-on instead of turning to avoidance tended to perform better and were likelier to finish out their year without switching families or going home early. As for Mark Twain, the bad-tempered writer was able to ride out his feelings of distress while traveling. He eventually finished out his European tour — and in his bestselling travel memoir The Innocents Abroad, famously remarked that travel is “disastrous to prejudice and narrow-mindedness”. With the right attitude and the willingness to seek help, it’s more than likely that you, too, can adapt to new settings, building new memories with each new stamp in your passport. 12. What is Susan B. Goldstein’s opinion about culture shock? A. It doesn’t live up to the name. B. Its cause is rarely researched. C. It is unavoidable and harmful. D. Its influence is understudied. 13. Which factor determined exchange students’ performance from the study? A. Support from family. B. The level of stress. C. Their personal attitude. D. Ways of seeking help. 14. How did Mark Twain feel about the European tour? A. It was a rather intolerable experience. B. It was challenging yet rewarding. C. It was an inspiration for his career. D. It was full of regrets and sorrows. 15. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To call on travelers to bridge cultural gaps. B. To recommend a book on traveling abroad. C. To stress the significance of cultural diversity. D. To clarify the misunderstanding of culture shock. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了关于“文化冲击”的一些误解，以及如何正确应对和适应新的文化环境。以前，许多研究人员认为，文化冲击的发展经历了一系列非常一致和普遍的阶段。然而，现代研究表明，文化适应的经历是个人的，而不是普遍的。人们会有起起落落，但在大多数情况下，随着时间的推移，他们会变得越来越舒适和胜任。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Although the term has existed since the 1950s, says Susan B. Goldstein, a psychology professor at the University of Redlands, it’s an outdated way to describe these adjustment challenges.(雷德兰兹大学的心理学教授苏珊·B·戈尔茨坦说，尽管这个词自上世纪50年代就存在了，但用它来描述这些适应挑战已经过时了。)”可知，苏珊·B·戈尔茨坦认为“文化冲击”这个词名不副实。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“In a 2023 study of 2,500 teenage exchange students, researchers found that though cultural stress was common among participants, those who faced those stresses head-on instead of turning to avoidance tended to perform better and were likelier to finish out their year without switching families or going home early.(在2023年对2500名青少年交换生进行的一项研究中，研究人员发现，尽管文化压力在参与者中很常见，但那些正面面对这些压力而不是逃避的人往往表现得更好，更有可能一直到毕业都不换家庭或提前回家。)”可知，个人态度决定了交换生在研究中的表现。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As for Mark Twain, the bad-tempered writer was able to ride out his feelings of distress while traveling. He eventually finished out his European tour — and in his bestselling travel memoir The Innocents Abroad, famously remarked that travel is “disastrous to prejudice and narrow-mindedness”.(至于马克·吐温，这位脾气暴躁的作家能够在旅行中度过他的悲伤情绪。他最终结束了他的欧洲之旅——在他最畅销的旅行回忆录《The Innocents Abroad》中，他曾说过一句名言：旅行‘对偏见和狭隘的思想来说是灾难性的’。)”可知，马克·吐温认为欧洲之行很有挑战性，但也很值得。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段“Previously many researchers adopted the idea that culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent and universal set of stages. Modern research, however, suggests that the experiences of acculturation (文化适应) are individual, not universal. People will have their ups and downs, but for the most part, they will become increasingly comfortable and competent over time.(以前，许多研究人员认为，文化冲击的发展经历了一系列非常一致和普遍的阶段。然而，现代研究表明，文化适应的经历是个人的，而不是普遍的。人们会有起起落落，但在大多数情况下，随着时间的推移，他们会变得越来越舒适和胜任。)”可知，这篇文章的目的是澄清关于对“文化冲击”的误解。故选D。 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。 How effective are your brainstorming sessions?

Her little brother Max could only watch in envy. “I wish I had a pair!” he told his mum. “Well, you’re nearly big enough to wear Ruby’s old skates,” she replied. But when Max tried on Ruby’s old skates, they were too big. He stuffed newspaper into the boots. Much to his disappointment, he fell over each time he tried to stand up in them. Finally, he gave up, only watching Ruby skating around him. “I should put on a skating display!” Ruby decided. “All our aunts, uncles and cousins will come. You’ll watch me, Max?” Max sighed. He didn’t want to watch the show. He wanted to be in it! “Poor Max!” said his mum. Then, she took out a pair of thick red socks to let Max pull them on with the hope of fitting better. Max eyed the red socks skeptically, saying, “Mum, these look just like my red soccer socks, but smaller.” His mum smiled, “Ah, your red soccer socks are too thin and meant for running, but these are magic socks that have the power to expand and stretch to fit most feet... ” Magic? When Mum left the room, Max took the wand (魔杖) from his magic set and waved it around a few times. “Magic socks, you are so great! Use your magic to help me skate!” Max slipped the socks on and tried skating in his bedroom. He didn’t fall over! He tried again. He still didn’t fall. He could now skate — thanks to his magic socks! Hooray! The next morning, when he skated up to Ruby on one foot, she stared in amazement. “Max, you are magic!” Thrilled, Ruby invited him to join in the show. To prepare well for the show, Max practiced happily with the magic socks on every day. Max even tried tricks like jumps, believing the socks would help him. 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。 The show time came and their family gathered in the garden. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “But you’re not wearing magic socks!” said Mum. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The show time came and their family gathered in the garden. Max was nervous, afraid that he would fall over again. However, everything went perfectly! The audience held their breath as the two siblings did their special skating tricks, turns and jumps and when it was over, they clapped and cheered. Max had never been more proud! Mum went to hug them and praised Max for his graceful skating skills. Max thanked Mum a lot and owed his success to his magic socks. “But you’re not wearing magic socks!” said Mum. “I put them in the wash this morning.” Max stared at her, and then at magic socks, which were hanging on the washing line. Actually, he was wearing the red soccer socks. Max was so surprised that he could still skate — even without his magic socks! “You don’t need magic to skate,” said Mum. “You just need to practice and believe in yourself!” She was right! He could skate, all on his own. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开。马克斯非常想要一双溜冰鞋，但是他穿不上姐姐的旧溜冰鞋，于是妈妈拿出一双厚厚的红袜子，让马克斯穿上，希望能穿得更合脚，并告诉马克斯这是一双魔法袜子，在袜子的帮助下马克斯能够溜冰了，他和姐姐一起进行了家庭溜冰表演，他以为是魔法袜子帮助了他，妈妈却告诉他他穿的并不是那双魔法袜子，马克斯这才明白他需要的是认真练习和信心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“演出时间到了，他们全家聚集在花园里。”可知，第一段可描写马克斯和姐姐一起完美地完成了演出。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘但你没有穿魔法袜子！’妈妈说。”可知，第二段可描写马克斯意识到他需要的是信心和练习，而不是魔法袜子。 2.续写线索：完美演出——喝彩——感谢——告知——惊讶——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①将……归因于：owe...to/attribute...to ②拥抱：hug/embrace/enfold ③称赞：praise/acclaim 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/astonished/amazed ②紧张：nervous/stressed/tense 【点睛】[高分句型1] Max stared at her, and then at magic socks, which were hanging on the washing line.
