In this post, we will explore four interesting cultural traditions around the world. Giving cinnamon (肉桂) in Denmark In the western part of Denmark, if a person is not yet married by the time they reach their 25th birthday, they will be restrained by their friends and have cinnamon thrown on them in the New Year’s Eve. The unique tradition can be translated to “giving cinnamon”. The Festival of Light in Thailand The Festival of Light also called “Loy Krathong”, is on the evening of the full moon on the 12th month of the Thai lunar calendar. The maker of the krathong attaches a candle to the handcrafted flower arrangement, which will be floating down riverways to pray for financial luck and happiness in the coming year. Wife-carrying Competition in Finland More of a competitive sport than it is a tradition, a Wife-carrying Competition in Finland. Athletes participate in a race where a male competitor carries a female competitor through an obstacle course. The winners are the fastest team, which will be awarded an interesting bonus — the wife’s weight in beer. Baking money into food in Bolivia While many people anticipate watching fireworks and tasting delicious dishes on the New Year’s Eve, Bolivians bake money into sugary dessert such as cakes. The lucky person receiving the monetary surprise can look forward to enjoying a prosperous year. Do you want to know more? Check out the following post about traditions from around the world. 21.

B Growing up in Kenya, Lesein Mutunkei, together with his family, always celebrated significant occasions by planting trees, which motivated him to protect the environment. It’s what the now 18-year-old soccer player treasures, especially since Kenya has an ongoing problem with deforestation. Mutunkei follows in the footsteps of the late Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai who founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977. This initiative has resulted in the planting of over 51 million trees to date. In 2018, Lesein decided to start a movement of his own. He started by planting one tree for every goal he scored during a football match. He called it Trees4Goals, and it has grown so much that he now plants 11 trees, one for each member of his team, every time he scores. Through this, he wants to inspire young people, specifically his fellow athletes, to follow in his footsteps, take nature conservation seriously, and promise to plant trees every time they score. As a result, some of them have adapted this practice for their sports. “Seeing that they’re taking that responsibility because of the project I started, for me, that is the biggest achievement,” he said. The initiative has caught the attention of English football club Arsenal and Kenya’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry, which he now works with regularly and gets advice from. Like Green Belt Movement Trees4Goals, which has planted 5,500 trees so far, has made it. While Lesein has received some recognition for his initiative, he sets his sights on making it a worldwide phenomenon. “Football is a universal game, and climate change is a universal problem,” he explains. “It has the power to unite, educate and inspire my generation to create a safer and greener future.” This is why he wants to work with the world’s biggest football federation FIFA. As for what others can do to fight deforestation or other environmental concerns, the teenager says it’s important to just get involved in some way, no matter how small. 24. What made Lesein get interested in environmental protection? A. The influence of his family. B. Wangari Maathai’s huge assistances. C. The demand of the football team. D. His fellow athletes’ encouragement. 25. Why did Lesein found Trees4Goals? A. To gain Kenya’s support. B. To set an example for others. C. To catch Arsenal’s attention. D. To show his achievements. 26. What is Lesein’s hope for the future of Trees4Goals? A. Promoting football’s development. B. Going global with the help of FIFA. C. Beating climate change completely. D. Getting beyond Green Belt Movement. 27. What can we learn from Lesein’s story? A. Fame is a great thirst of the young. B. A youth is to be regarded with respect. C. Positive thinking and action result in success. D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied. C Over the last 40 years, 90% of the King Penguins (企鹅) on a faraway island have been lost. This is especially worrying because it was the largest group of King Penguins in the world. Penguins living in large groups are called “colonies”. And about half of the world's King Penguins live in the Crozet islands, which lie between Antarctica and the tip of Africa. In 1982, the scientists visited the colony on one of the Crozet islands — the Pig Island. At that time, they figured that there were around 2 million King Penguins there. But now, after carefully studying images taken from space, the scientists believe there are only about 200,000King Penguins left on the island. The scientists are trying to figure out what might have caused the problem. There are some parts that they understand. For example, it got very warm in 1997. That meant the penguins had to swim much farther to get to the colder water where they could find their food. Many penguins couldn't find enough food to feed their babies. That year was a hard year for the penguins all around Antartica, and many died. It's possible that there was some kind of sickness just on the Pig Island. It's also possible that the penguins could have problems with the cats or mice which are also on the island. But there are cats and mice on the other islands, and the penguins there seem to be in good condition. Before this news, people thought the King Penguins were fine. Now, the scientists are worried that they may be in danger. And it will probably get worse because of climate change. The scientists are planning to travel to the Pig Island to count the penguins again and to find out what is going on. But they won't be able to make the trip until this autumn. 28. What can we learn about the Crozet islands from the second paragraph? A. Two million penguins live there now. B. They are the largest islands in Africa. C. They are home to the King Penguins. D. People discovered the islands in 1982. 29. How did the warm weather in 1997 affect the penguins? A. They could feed more babies. B. They swam slowly in the water. C. They grew up in a faster way. D. They had difficulty in getting food. 30. What are the scientists going to do about the penguins? A. Study their images taken from space. B. Explore what threatens their life. C. Make them live in different groups. D. Protect them from cats and mice. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Sharp Drop in Penguins' Number B. The Wonderland of the King Penguins C. A Team's Journey to the South Pole D. The Major Change in Global Climate D There are many fantastic health benefits of exercise, but does exercise affect hair growth? It may seem unlikely that your workout would be able to provide protection against the seemingly unavoidable hair loss associated with aging, but there may be some link. For one, exercise increases blood circulation and oxygen in blood cells, which benefits hair follicles (毛囊). This can allow the growth phase of hair to be longer. Exercise can also put an end to certain stress, which is one of the factors involved in hair thinning. Consistent exercise may prevent hair loss. Additionally, exercise will always have a positive effect on your overall health, thus positively affecting your hair growth as well. It’s unrealistic to think that a single run or a couple of yoga classes will immediately reverse hair loss and cause a bunch of new hair strands to spring up. Interestingly, not all types of exercise are equal when it comes to promoting hair growth. Strength training is not as good as any sort of aerobic (有氧的) exercise. Hair loss can be classified into two types: permanent and temporary. Most irreversible hair loss is a product of your gene (基因), whereas hair loss caused by lifestyle choices is usually temporary and can be changed by improving your general health. Although hair loss is not associated with marathon running or any other intense endurance training, it can be affected if you aren’t taking care of your body to support your training. In addition to exercise, following a healthy lifestyle, such as getting enough sleep, not smoking and eating a nutrient-dense diet can promote hair growth. Finally, leaving sweat on your hair after exercise can also make a difference. Hair can become blocked and weak if sweat stays on the head for a long time. Showering after exercise will prevent this. 32. How does exercise benefit the hair according to the text? A. It can relieve people’s stress. B. It can help produce some useful chemicals. C. It takes away some bad things in people’s blood. D It increases the number of people’s hair follicles positively. 33. What does the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Witness. B. Speed. C. Demonstrate. D. Change. 34. Which can be regarded as a permanent factor for hair loss? A. Exercising habits. B. Lifestyle choices. C. Genetic weakness. D. Living environment. 35. Why is showering after exercise suggested in the text? A. To stop sweat from harming hair growth. B. To keep you smelling pleasant. C. To better take care of your skin. D. To make you feel relaxed. 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。 Curiosity is part of human nature. Children are famous for wanting answers to tons of questions.

That afternoon, they had to share their table with another person. That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her handphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back. Mary saw the handphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her handphone.” Keith looked at the handphone. It was one of the latest models on the market. Looking very sleek, it was red in color with a black cover. The handphone must be expensive. Keith had always wanted a handphone, But his parents refused. He stared at it for some minutes. Then he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the handphone,” Mary could not believe her eyes. She merely stared at her brother, “you can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it?” Having made the decision, Keith quickly grabbed the handphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly. Outside the café, he ran to his bicycle. Mary had to run after him. Once back home, Keith locked his house door with trembling hands. Looking at the handphone, he liked it so much. Now he had his own handphone. But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the handphone. What will you tell father about this handphone?” Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Mary said, “Now you are lying, too.” Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest? Then Mary saw a house phone number on the plastic cover of the handphone, “This phone number is the girl’s phone number. Why don’t we just call this number? We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her handphone.” She was trying her best to talk some sense into him. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右 2. 续写部分分为两段，开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: That night, Keith couldn’t go to sleep, reflecting in bed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Mary was very happy to hear that. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 亳州二中2023-2024学年第二学期期末教学质量检测 高二英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

The boys here have worked hard in order to be a part of this ceremony. Recognition of achievement can make us push ourselves and reach our full potential. The prizewinners are a true representation of everything that we value here at Hampton School. I have every confidence that you young men will be precisely the kind of young people who will make a positive difference to the country and the world. Your success will be built on being true to yourself. You should recognize your problems and doubts as well as your positive qualities. I remember listening to an interview with Andy Murray, one of the top tennis players in the world. After he was defeated in the first round of a tournament by a much lower ranked player, the media went crazy. However, Murray was straightforward and wise. “Nobody died here, “ he said, “I only lost a tennis match, nothing more. “ We are proud of our prizewinners today. They should be proud of themselves. But let’s be clear, if you link motivation to winning prizes in life, you set yourself up for disappointment. The greatest prize of all is that you can look yourself in the eye and say, “I tried my absolute best. “ 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A There are so many amazing cultures around the world, each having their own unique set of traditions. In this post, we will explore four interesting cultural traditions around the world. Giving cinnamon (肉桂) in Denmark In the western part of Denmark, if a person is not yet married by the time they reach their 25th birthday, they will be restrained by their friends and have cinnamon thrown on them in the New Year’s Eve. The unique tradition can be translated to “giving cinnamon”. The Festival of Light in Thailand The Festival of Light, also called “Loy Krathong”, is on the evening of the full moon on the 12th month of the Thai lunar calendar. The maker of the krathong attaches a candle to the handcrafted flower arrangement, which will be floating down riverways to pray for financial luck and happiness in the coming year. Wife-carrying Competition in Finland More of a competitive sport than it is a tradition, a Wife-carrying Competition in Finland. Athletes participate in a race where a male competitor carries a female competitor through an obstacle course. The winners are the fastest team, which will be awarded an interesting bonus — the wife’s weight in beer. Baking money into food in Bolivia While many people anticipate watching fireworks and tasting delicious dishes on the New Year’s Eve, Bolivians bake money into sugary dessert such as cakes. The lucky person receiving the monetary surprise can look forward to enjoying a prosperous year. Do you want to know more? Check out the following post about traditions from around the world. 21.

It’s what the now 18-year-old soccer player treasures, especially since Kenya has an ongoing problem with deforestation. Mutunkei follows in the footsteps of the late Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai who founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977. This initiative has resulted in the planting of over 51 million trees to date. In 2018, Lesein decided to start a movement of his own. He started by planting one tree for every goal he scored during a football match. He called it Trees4Goals, and it has grown so much that he now plants 11 trees, one for each member of his team, every time he scores. Through this, he wants to inspire young people, specifically his fellow athletes, to follow in his footsteps, take nature conservation seriously, and promise to plant trees every time they score. As a result, some of them have adapted this practice for their sports. “Seeing that they’re taking that responsibility because of the project I started, for me, that is the biggest achievement,” he said. The initiative has caught the attention of English football club Arsenal and Kenya’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry, which he now works with regularly and gets advice from. Like Green Belt Movement, Trees4Goals, which has planted 5,500 trees so far, has made it. While Lesein has received some recognition for his initiative, he sets his sights on making it a worldwide phenomenon. “Football is a universal game, and climate change is a universal problem,” he explains. “It has the power to unite, educate and inspire my generation to create a safer and greener future.” This is why he wants to work with the world’s biggest football federation FIFA. As for what others can do to fight deforestation or other environmental concerns, the teenager says it’s important to just get involved in some way, no matter how small. 24. What made Lesein get interested in environmental protection? A. The influence of his family. B. Wangari Maathai’s huge assistances. C. The demand of the football team. D. His fellow athletes’ encouragement. 25. Why did Lesein found Trees4Goals? A. To gain Kenya’s support. B. To set an example for others. C. To catch Arsenal’s attention. D. To show his achievements. 26. What is Lesein’s hope for the future of Trees4Goals? A. Promoting football’s development. B. Going global with the help of FIFA. C. Beating climate change completely. D. Getting beyond Green Belt Movement. 27. What can we learn from Lesein’s story? A. Fame is a great thirst of the young. B. A youth is to be regarded with respect. C. Positive thinking and action result in success. D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。在肯尼亚长大的Lesein Mutunkei是一名足球队员，他发起了“一球一树（Trees4Goals）运动”，每进球一次，他为球队的每一位成员种一棵树，激励其他年轻人去保护环境。到目前为止，该运动已经种植了5100万棵树。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Growing up in Kenya, Lesein Mutunkei, together with his family, always celebrated significant occasions by planting trees, which motivated him to protect the environment. (在肯尼亚长大的Lesein Mutunkei和他的家人总是通过植树来庆祝重要的节日，这促使他保护环境)”可知，在Lesein成长的过程中，他和他的家人总是以种树的方式来庆祝重要的节日，这激励他去保护环境。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Through this, he wants to inspire young people, specifically his fellow athletes, to follow in his footsteps, take nature conservation seriously, and promise to plant trees every time they score. (他希望借此激励年轻人，特别是他的运动员同伴，跟随他的脚步，认真对待自然保护，并承诺每次得分都要植树)”可知，Lesein发起“一球一树运动”是作出表率来激励他人保护环境。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“While Lesein has received some recognition for his initiative, he sets his sights on making it a worldwide phenomenon.(虽然莱辛的倡议得到了一些认可，但他的目标是让它成为一种全球现象)”及“This is why he wants to work with the world’s biggest football federation FIFA.(这就是为什么他想与世界上最大的足球联盟国际足联合作)”可知，在FIFA的帮助下，Lesein 希望“一球一树运动”走向全球。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Mutunkei follows in the footsteps of the late Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai who founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977. This initiative has resulted in the planting of over 51 million trees to date.(Mutunkei追随了已故的肯尼亚诺贝尔和平奖得主旺加里·马塔伊的脚步，后者于1977年创立了绿带运动。迄今为止，这一举措已导致种植了5100多万棵树)”及全文内容可知，Lesein从小耳濡目染，很有环保意识，后受到启发，发起了“一球一树运动”并取得了成功。可见，他的故事说明：积极的思考和行动会带来成功。故选C。 C Over the last 40 years, 90% of the King Penguins (企鹅) on a faraway island have been lost. This is especially worrying because it was the largest group of King Penguins in the world. Penguins living in large groups are called “colonies”. And about half of the world's King Penguins live in the Crozet islands, which lie between Antarctica and the tip of Africa. In 1982, the scientists visited the colony on one of the Crozet islands — the Pig Island. At that time, they figured that there were around 2 million King Penguins there. But now, after carefully studying images taken from space, the scientists believe there are only about 200,000King Penguins left on the island. The scientists are trying to figure out what might have caused the problem. There are some parts that they understand. For example, it got very warm in 1997. That meant the penguins had to swim much farther to get to the colder water where they could find their food. Many penguins couldn't find enough food to feed their babies. That year was a hard year for the penguins all around Antartica, and many died. It's possible that there was some kind of sickness just on the Pig Island. It's also possible that the penguins could have problems with the cats or mice which are also on the island. But there are cats and mice on the other islands, and the penguins there seem to be in good condition. Before this news, people thought the King Penguins were fine. Now, the scientists are worried that they may be in danger. And it will probably get worse because of climate change. The scientists are planning to travel to the Pig Island to count the penguins again and to find out what is going on. But they won't be able to make the trip until this autumn. 28. What can we learn about the Crozet islands from the second paragraph? A. Two million penguins live there now. B. They are the largest islands in Africa. C. They are home to the King Penguins. D. People discovered the islands in 1982. 29. How did the warm weather in 1997 affect the penguins? A. They could feed more babies. B. They swam slowly in the water. C. They grew up in a faster way. D. They had difficulty in getting food. 30. What are the scientists going to do about the penguins? A. Study their images taken from space. B. Explore what threatens their life. C. Make them live in different groups. D. Protect them from cats and mice. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Sharp Drop in Penguins' Number B. The Wonderland of the King Penguins C. A Team's Journey to the South Pole D. The Major Change in Global Climate 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在过去的40年里，远离人类居住地的一个岛上，90%的帝企鹅消失了，科学家们正在努力寻找原因，并计划在秋天再次前往该岛进行调查。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的句子“And about half of the world's King Penguins live in the Crozet islands, which lie between Antarctica and the tip of Africa.”（大约一半的世界帝企鹅生活在位于南极和非洲尖端之间的克罗泽特群岛上。）可知，克罗泽特群岛是帝企鹅的家，故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的句子“For example, it got very warm in 1997. That meant the penguins had to swim much farther to get to the colder water where they could find their food. Many penguins couldn't find enough food to feed their babies.”（例如，1997年天气非常暖和。这意味着企鹅们必须游得更远才能到达他们可以找到食物的冷水区。许多企鹅找不到足够的食物喂养他们的宝宝。）可知，1997年的暖冬使企鹅在获取食物上遇到了困难，故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“The scientists are planning to travel to the Pig Island to count the penguins again and to find out what”（科学家们计划再次前往猪岛计算企鹅的数量，并找出发生了什么。）可知，科学家们打算探索威胁企鹅生命的因素，故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Over the last 40 years, 90% of the King Penguins(企鹅) on a faraway island have been lost. This is especially worrying because it was the largest group of King Penguins in the world.”（在过去的40年里，一个遥远岛屿上90%的王企鹅已经消失了。这尤其令人担忧，因为这是世界上最大的王企鹅群。）可知，文章主要讲述了在过去的40年里，远离人类居住地的一个岛上，90%的帝企鹅消失了，科学家们正在努力寻找原因，并计划在秋天再次前往该岛进行调查。所以短文的标题为“企鹅数量急剧下降”。故选A项。 D There are many fantastic health benefits of exercise, but does exercise affect hair growth? It may seem unlikely that your workout would be able to provide protection against the seemingly unavoidable hair loss associated with aging, but there may be some link. For one, exercise increases blood circulation and oxygen in blood cells, which benefits hair follicles (毛囊). This can allow the growth phase of hair to be longer. Exercise can also put an end to certain stress, which is one of the factors involved in hair thinning. Consistent exercise may prevent hair loss. Additionally, exercise will always have a positive effect on your overall health, thus positively affecting your hair growth as well. It’s unrealistic to think that a single run or a couple of yoga classes will immediately reverse hair loss and cause a bunch of new hair strands to spring up. Interestingly, not all types of exercise are equal when it comes to promoting hair growth. Strength training is not as good as any sort of aerobic (有氧的) exercise. Hair loss can be classified into two types: permanent and temporary. Most irreversible hair loss is a product of your gene (基因), whereas hair loss caused by lifestyle choices is usually temporary and can be changed by improving your general health. Although hair loss is not associated with marathon running or any other intense endurance training, it can be affected if you aren’t taking care of your body to support your training. In addition to exercise, following a healthy lifestyle, such as getting enough sleep, not smoking and eating a nutrient-dense diet can promote hair growth. Finally, leaving sweat on your hair after exercise can also make a difference. Hair can become blocked and weak if sweat stays on the head for a long time. Showering after exercise will prevent this. 32. How does exercise benefit the hair according to the text? A. It can relieve people’s stress. B. It can help produce some useful chemicals. C. It takes away some bad things in people’s blood. D. It increases the number of people’s hair follicles positively. 33. What does the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Witness. B. Speed. C. Demonstrate. D. Change. 34. Which can be regarded as a permanent factor for hair loss? A. Exercising habits. B. Lifestyle choices. C. Genetic weakness. D. Living environment. 35. Why is showering after exercise suggested in the text? A. To stop sweat from harming hair growth. B. To keep you smelling pleasant. C. To better take care of your skin. D. To make you feel relaxed. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。主题语境为人与社会。锻炼会影响毛发生长吗？回答是肯定的。如何影响？在哪些方面？文章将逐一解读。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Exercise can also put an end to certain stress, which is one of the factors involved in hair thinning.(锻炼还可以消除某些压力，这是导致头发稀疏的因素之一)”可知，锻炼可以减轻某些压力，而压力与头发变得稀薄有关系。故选A。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后“cause a bunch of new hair strands to spring up(让一簇新头发如雨后春笋般涌现)”可知，本句句意：指望跑一次步或上几节瑜伽课就能突然“逆转”脱发，并让一簇新头发如雨后春笋般涌现，这是不现实的。change与reverse意义相近。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“Most irreversible hair loss is a product of your gene (基因)(大多数不可逆转的脱发是基因的产物)”可知，大多数不可逆转的脱发是你的基因的产物。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Hair can become blocked and weak if sweat stays on the head for a long time. Showering after exercise will prevent this.(如果汗水长时间停留在头上，头发会变得堵塞和脆弱。运动后洗澡可以防止这种情况)”可知，运动过后头发上的汗水会阻碍头发生长，使之变得脆弱。运动后淋浴会防止这个结果的产生。故选A。 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。 Curiosity is part of human nature.

That afternoon, they had to share their table with another person. That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her handphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back. Mary saw the handphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her handphone.” Keith looked at the handphone. It was one of the latest models on the market. Looking very sleek, it was red in color with a black cover. The handphone must be expensive. Keith had always wanted a handphone, But his parents refused. He stared at it for some minutes. Then he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the handphone,” Mary could not believe her eyes. She merely stared at her brother, “you can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it?” Having made the decision, Keith quickly grabbed the handphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly. Outside the café, he ran to his bicycle. Mary had to run after him. Once back home, Keith locked his house door with trembling hands. Looking at the handphone, he liked it so much. Now he had his own handphone. But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the handphone. What will you tell father about this handphone?” Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.” Mary said, “Now you are lying, too.” Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest? Then Mary saw a house phone number on the plastic cover of the handphone, “This phone number is the girl’s phone number. Why don’t we just call this number? We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her handphone.” She was trying her best to talk some sense into him. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右 2. 续写部分分为两段，开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: That night, Keith couldn’t go to sleep, reflecting in bed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Mary was very happy to hear that. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: That night, Keith couldn’t go to sleep, reflecting in bed. He was uncertain about what he should do. Of course, he liked the new handphone. However, he was feeling sorry for the owner. When he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her handphone, he was full of guilt and shame. The next morning, after а long and restless night, he was determined to return the handphone to the owner. After school, he told Mary, “I am going to phone the owner.” Paragraph 2: Mary was very happy to hear that. Back home, they phoned the owner’s house phone. A girl answered the phone. Keith asked, “Are you the owner of the handphone? I’m Keith. I have your handphone. Can you come and get it?” The girl replied “Yes”excitedly, expressing her gratitude repeatedly. Ten minutes later, she was at the same cafe to meet Keith. Handing back the handphone to her and seeing her smile happily, Keith realized that honesty was indeed the best policy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一天下午放学后，Mary和他的弟弟Keith在他们家附近的一家咖啡馆吃饭时，另一个女孩把手机遗落在了桌子上，Keith于是拿了手机回家，最后出于愧疚还是归还了手机。 详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，Keith睡不着，躺在床上想着心事。”可知，第一段可描写Keith内心的挣扎以及做出了归还手机的决定。 ②由第二段首句内容“玛丽听到这个消息很高兴。”可知，第二段可描写Keith归还手机的经过和感悟。 2. 续写线索：Keith无法入睡——Keith内心挣扎——决定归还手机——归还手机——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：be determined to/decide to ②表达：express/show ③意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①悲伤：sad /sorrowful ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1]When he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her handphone, he was full of guilt and shame.(when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Keith realized that honesty was indeed the best policy.(that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
