The earliest paper cutting was found in China in the Northern Dynasties. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ( UNESCO ) has recognized the art, called Jianzhi, on its Intangible (非物质的) Cultural Heritage (遗产) list. Voyo Woo, who is a Chinese student studying in the US, hopes to introduce the traditional Chinese art to Americans in her spare time. Ms. Woo loves paper cutting. And she works hard to celebrate the ancient art form. On a recent Saturday, Ms. Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington. She demonstrated the art to the crowds for hours at the shopping center. Ms. Woo began to study the art of Jianzhi as a 14-year-old girl in her hometown in southeastern China. She said all the students at school had to learn the art. However, she developed a special love for it, so her teacher gave her extra training after class. Later, she won second prize in a national painting and calligraphy competition. After Ms. Woo came to the US, she became involved in an event to support and expand the understanding of Chinese paper cutting. She has been invited to demonstrate the art at a wide collection of events. She has also shown her skill at famous museums in Washington. Ms. Woo says paper cutting represents Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people’s lives. She uses the art as a tool to present Chinese culture to people who know little about it. Ms. Woo placed examples of her art around her as she demonstrated paper cutting at the shopping center. Some shoppers, like Ann Russ, took part in a workshop. Ms. Russ was struck (打动) by the finely detailed nature of the work. “ I like to know about the Chinese art, specifically because it is very delicate (精致的). And I like the focus that it requires because it takes me out of everything. And we have to concentrate on something very closely. It is almost relaxing to put that much effort into it. ” Ms. Russ says. 4. What can we learn about Jianzhi from paragraph 1? A. It is popular now in the US. B. It dates from the Qing Dynasty. C. It was brought back to life by immigrants (移民). D. It is regarded as the cultural heritage. 5. Why did Ms. Woo hold a paper cutting show at a shopping center? A. To earn some money. B. To attract more shoppers. C. To celebrate an art festival. D. To make paper cutting well-known. 6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The school life of Ms. Woo in China. B. The story of Ms. Woo and her teacher. C. Ms. Woo’s experience of learning Jianzhi. D. Ms. Woo’s success in advertising Jianzhi. 7 What can we infer from Ms. Russ’s words? A. She is confused about paper cutting. B. She can get relaxation from paper cutting. C. Paper cutting needs much energy to make. D. Paper cutting takes up much of her time. C Imagine a relay race. During this race, an athlete holds a stick as he runs-a certain distance. Then he passes the stick to the next runner. That person runs faster, and then passes the stick to a third runner. Now imagine that the runners do not pass a stick. Instead they pass shiny silk, as well as gold, fruit, and glass. Imagine that the race does not move forward in just one direction. Instead the runners go back and forth along a road. They trade goods all along this route (路线) and at each end of it. Now imagine that the runners are businessmen. They lead caravans (商队) or lines of camels that carry things to sell. They travel on the ancient SilkRoad to earn their living. The Silk Road was a complex trade network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It stretched from eastern China, across central Asia and the Middle east, to the Mediterranean Sea. Businessmen traveled on the Silk Road from about 200 B. C. to about1300 A. D. . Then sea travel began to offer new routes. Some people called the Silk Road the world's longest highway. However, the Silk Road included many routes-not just one smooth path. The routes ran through mountains and across deserts. They passed through an area that now includes 18 countries. The Silk Road had many dangers. These dangers ranged from hot sun, and deep snow to thieves and wars. Only expert traders could survive. The Silk Road got its name from its most prized goods. People used silk as money. They could pay taxes or buy goods with it. Traders carried more than just silk, though. They had gold, silver, and glass from Europe. People in the Middle East and Asia wanted these things. Businessmen also took horses from flat, grassy areas in central Asia and brought them to China and other areas. The horses changed the way people farmed and ran their armies. Indian businessmen traded salt and rare, beautiful stones. Chinese merchants traded medicine and china. They also traded paper, which quickly replaced animal skins in the west. Businessmen carried apples from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to combine different trees to create new kinds of fruit. They taught this science to others, such as the Romans. The Romans began to grow apples for food. The Silk Road led to worldwide commerce 2,000 years before the World Wide Web. The people along the Silk Road did not share only goods. They also shared beliefs. Monks, priests, and other faith leaders taught their religions to others. The Silk Road created pathways for knowledge, diplomacy, and religion. 8. People turned to the sea for new routes after around 1300A. D. because . A. the Silk Road included many routes B. the Silk Road passed through many areas C. people traveled on the Silk Road for too long D. there were more dangers along the Silk Road 9. Which of the following is closest to the meaning of the word “prized” in paragraph 3? A. Influential B. Private C. Valuable D. Useful 10. It can be inferred from the passage that_______. A. silk Road was built by China. B. there used to be deaths along the path C. trade went along with religion D. many apple trees used to grow along the path 11. In which column of a newspaper can we most probably read the article? A. Science. B. Travel. C. Sports. D. Culture. D Culture is a way to bring harmony to society via exchange of knowledge and thoughts, and also the respect of others' belief and cultural heritage. Before I came to China to study business, my only information about the country was what I had read in our school books, TV shows on Pakistan national TV, and Chinese movies. But once I arrived in China, my view changed. China has made great leaps in development, keeping a strong link to their ancestors' heritage, hard work and courage. The announcement of the Belt and Road Initiative (倡议) (BRI) by President Xi Jinping in 2013 has provided trade opportunities for participating countries, and can also be a meeting place for the exchange of ideas, thoughts, knowledge and culture. Being a combination of diverse cultural and traditional systems, the BRI promotes harmony, and through the heritage of the Silk Road, these diversified cultures can treat one another with respect and exist together peacefully. China can play a leading role to maximize identity, cohesion (凝聚力) and creativity of the diverse cultures, nations and people to combine resources along the belt and road and ensure all the countries involved receive mutual (相互) benefit. International students coming to China and Chinese students going abroad for studies are cultural ambassadors. They learn the language, local customs, arts and exchange thoughts. The BRI is a chance for the Chinese dream to become reality. China has a lot to share with the BRI countries. China has a rising number of Chinese language learners around the world. Confucius Institutes are non-profit public institutions affiliated with the Chinese Ministry of Education whose stated aim is to promote Chinese language and culture, support local Chinese teaching internationally and facilitate cultural exchanges. As of 2014, there were over 480 Confucius Institutes in dozens of countries on six continents. The Ministry of Education estimates 100million people overseas are learning Chinese, and the program is expanding rapidly and aims to establish 1,000 Confucius Institutes by 2020. These institutes are playing an important role for local students to learn Chinese, meaning more job opportunities for BRI projects. Since ancient times, the Silk Road culture has supported diversity. Accordingly, China needs to maintain relationships with the countries of the ancient Silk Road civilization. A discussion meeting on how to better carry out the BRI Cultural Development Action Plan was held in Beijing by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Through cooperation and exchanges between countries, the BRI can revitalize (振兴) traditional Silk Road culture by opening up overseas markets, introducing advanced ideas to every participating country. 12. The change in the author's understanding of China corresponds with the saying. “ ”. A. Seeing is believing. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. One is never too old to learn. D. There is no royal road to learning. 13. From the passage, we can draw a conclusion that all the BRI countries . A. will remove cultural barriers B. may achieve a win-win result C. will join hands in resource protection D. may keep peace with other countries 14. Why are so many people outside China learning Chinese? A. To acquire more knowledge about China today. B. To communicate with Chinese-speaking people. C. To gain benefit from the Belt and Road Initiative. D. To serve as cultural ambassadors in BRI countries. 15. According to the passage, what do you know about Confucius Institutes except that A. it's a non-profit public institution affiliated by the Chinese Ministry of Education B. it can promote Chinese language and culture C. it supports local Chinese teaching internationally and facilitate cultural exchanges D. it supplies more job opportunities for BRI projects 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。 Poor indoor air quality can have health consequences that range from disease of the eyes, nose and throat to headaches and dizziness.

It was a period in my life that tested my patience and my ability to understand others. It all started when I was in middle school. I had a close friend named Emily, and we spent a lot of time together. One day, Emily introduced me to a new girl in our class, named Olivia. Olivia was quiet and shy, but we quickly became friends as well. One afternoon, after school, we were all working on a project in the classroom. As we were discussing our ideas, Olivia suddenly exclaimed out something that completely contradicted what I had been saying. I was shocked and felt a little embarrassed. I tried to explain my point of view, but Olivia was very stubborn and insisted on her own idea. Emily, who was sitting next to me, tried to mediate (调节) the situation. But Olivia got angry and said some unkind words to me. I was hurt and angry, and I couldn’t believe that Olivia would treat me like that. I stormed out of the classroom, leaving Emily and Olivia behind. The next few days were very difficult for me. I avoided Olivia as much as possible, and our friendship with Emily seemed to be stressed. I felt like I had been betrayed by Olivia, and I couldn’t understand why she would do such a thing. One day, I asked Emily why she was still friends with Olivia after what she had done. Emily looked at me with a sad expression and said, “You know, Olivia has been through a lot lately. Her parents are going through a divorce, and she’s really struggling. Maybe she was rude to you because she was feeling overwhelmed and insecure.” Hearing this, I felt a surge of guilt. I realized that I hadn’t taken the time to understand Olivia’s situation. I had been too quick to judge her and too focused on my own feelings of hurt. I decided to talk to Olivia and apologize for my behavior. 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。 When I found Olivia, she was sitting alone in the hallway. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Olivia accepted my apology and we had a long conversation. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案1.C 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.C 6.B 7.A 8.C 9.B 10.C 11.B 12.A 13.C 14.C 15.A 16.B 17.A 18.B 19.A 20.C 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023——2024学年度下学期期末考试 高二英语 时间: 120分钟 满分: 150分 考试范围：选必三、选必四、复习：必修三1—3单元 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.

The earliest paper cutting was found in China in the Northern Dynasties. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ( UNESCO ) has recognized the art, called Jianzhi, on its Intangible (非物质的) Cultural Heritage (遗产) list. Voyo Woo, who is a Chinese student studying in the US, hopes to introduce the traditional Chinese art to Americans in her spare time. Ms. Woo loves paper cutting. And she works hard to celebrate the ancient art form. On a recent Saturday, Ms. Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington. She demonstrated the art to the crowds for hours at the shopping center. Ms. Woo began to study the art of Jianzhi as a 14-year-old girl in her hometown in southeastern China. She said all the students at school had to learn the art. However, she developed a special love for it, so her teacher gave her extra training after class. Later, she won second prize in a national painting and calligraphy competition. After Ms. Woo came to the US, she became involved in an event to support and expand the understanding of Chinese paper cutting. She has been invited to demonstrate the art at a wide collection of events. She has also shown her skill at famous museums in Washington. Ms. Woo says paper cutting represents Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people’s lives. She uses the art as a tool to present Chinese culture to people who know little about it. Ms. Woo placed examples of her art around her as she demonstrated paper cutting at the shopping center. Some shoppers, like Ann Russ, took part in a workshop. Ms. Russ was struck (打动) by the finely detailed nature of the work. “ I like to know about the Chinese art, specifically because it is very delicate (精致的). And I like the focus that it requires because it takes me out of everything. And we have to concentrate on something very closely. It is almost relaxing to put that much effort into it. ” Ms. Russ says. 4. What can we learn about Jianzhi from paragraph 1? A. It is popular now in the US. B. It dates from the Qing Dynasty. C.

During this race, an athlete holds a stick as he runs-a certain distance. Then he passes the stick to the next runner. That person runs faster, and then passes the stick to a third runner. Now imagine that the runners do not pass a stick. Instead they pass shiny silk, as well as gold, fruit, and glass. Imagine that the race does not move forward in just one direction. Instead the runners go back and forth along a road. They trade goods all along this route (路线) and at each end of it. Now imagine that the runners are businessmen. They lead caravans (商队) or lines of camels that carry things to sell. They travel on the ancient SilkRoad to earn their living. The Silk Road was a complex trade network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It stretched from eastern China, across central Asia and the Middle east, to the Mediterranean Sea. Businessmen traveled on the Silk Road from about 200 B. C. to about1300 A. D. . Then sea travel began to offer new routes. Some people called the Silk Road the world's longest highway. However, the Silk Road included many routes-not just one smooth path. The routes ran through mountains and across deserts. They passed through an area that now includes 18 countries. The Silk Road had many dangers. These dangers ranged from hot sun, and deep snow to thieves and wars. Only expert traders could survive. The Silk Road got its name from its most prized goods. People used silk as money. They could pay taxes or buy goods with it. Traders carried more than just silk, though. They had gold, silver, and glass from Europe. People in the Middle East and Asia wanted these things. Businessmen also took horses from flat, grassy areas in central Asia and brought them to China and other areas. The horses changed the way people farmed and ran their armies. Indian businessmen traded salt and rare, beautiful stones. Chinese merchants traded medicine and china. They also traded paper, which quickly replaced animal skins in the west. Businessmen carried apples from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to combine different trees to create new kinds of fruit. They taught this science to others, such as the Romans. The Romans began to grow apples for food. The Silk Road led to worldwide commerce 2,000 years before the World Wide Web. The people along the Silk Road did not share only goods. They also shared beliefs. Monks, priests, and other faith leaders taught their religions to others. The Silk Road created pathways for knowledge, diplomacy, and religion. 8. People turned to the sea for new routes after around 1300A. D. because . A. the Silk Road included many routes B. the Silk Road passed through many areas C. people traveled on the Silk Road for too long D. there were more dangers along the Silk Road 9 Which of the following is closest to the meaning of the word “prized” in paragraph 3? A. Influential B. Private C. Valuable D. Useful 10. It can be inferred from the passage that_______. A. silk Road was built by China. B. there used to be deaths along the path C. trade went along with religion D. many apple trees used to grow along the path 11. In which column of a newspaper can we most probably read the article? A. Science. B. Travel. C. Sports. D. Culture. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍丝绸之路上的人们不仅分享商品，他们也有共同的信仰，僧侣、牧师和其他宗教领袖把他们的宗教教给别人，丝绸之路为知识、外交和宗教开辟了道路。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The Silk Road had many dangers. These dangers ranged from hot sun and deep snow to thieves and wars. Only expert traders could survive. (丝绸之路有很多危险。这些危险包括从炎热的太阳和厚厚的积雪到小偷和战争。只有专业商人才能生存。)”可知，大约在公元1300年后，人们转向大海寻找新的航线，因为在丝绸之路上有更多的危险。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。由第三段中“The Silk Road got its name from its most prized goods. People used silk as money. They could pay taxes or buy goods with it. Traders carried more than just silk, though. They had gold, silver, and glass from Europe. (丝绸之路因其最prized商品而得名。人们用丝绸当货币。他们可以用它纳税或购买商品。不过，贸易商携带的不仅仅是丝绸。它们有来自欧洲的黄金、白银和玻璃。)”可知，贸易商携带的丝绸（用作货币）、黄金、白银和玻璃等物都是很具有价值的，划线词意为“有价值的（valuable）”。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Only expert traders could survive.

Before I came to China to study business, my only information about the country was what I had read in our school books, TV shows on Pakistan national TV, and Chinese movies. But once I arrived in China, my view changed. China has made great leaps in development, keeping a strong link to their ancestors' heritage, hard work and courage. The announcement of the Belt and Road Initiative (倡议) (BRI) by President Xi Jinping in 2013 has provided trade opportunities for participating countries, and can also be a meeting place for the exchange of ideas, thoughts, knowledge and culture. Being a combination of diverse cultural and traditional systems, the BRI promotes harmony, and through the heritage of the Silk Road, these diversified cultures can treat one another with respect and exist together peacefully. China can play a leading role to maximize identity, cohesion (凝聚力) and creativity of the diverse cultures, nations and people to combine resources along the belt and road and ensure all the countries involved receive mutual (相互的) benefit. International students coming to China and Chinese students going abroad for studies are cultural ambassadors. They learn the language, local customs, arts and exchange thoughts. The BRI is a chance for the Chinese dream to become reality. China has a lot to share with the BRI countries. China has a rising number of Chinese language learners around the world. Confucius Institutes are non-profit public institutions affiliated with the Chinese Ministry of Education whose stated aim is to promote Chinese language and culture, support local Chinese teaching internationally and facilitate cultural exchanges. As of 2014, there were over 480 Confucius Institutes in dozens of countries on six continents. The Ministry of Education estimates 100million people overseas are learning Chinese, and the program is expanding rapidly and aims to establish 1,000 Confucius Institutes by 2020. These institutes are playing an important role for local students to learn Chinese, meaning more job opportunities for BRI projects. Since ancient times, the Silk Road culture has supported diversity. Accordingly, China needs to maintain relationships with the countries of the ancient Silk Road civilization. A discussion meeting on how to better carry out the BRI Cultural Development Action Plan was held in Beijing by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Through cooperation and exchanges between countries, the BRI can revitalize (振兴) traditional Silk Road culture by opening up overseas markets, introducing advanced ideas to every participating country. 12. The change in the author's understanding of China corresponds with the saying. “ ”. A. Seeing is believing. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. One is never too old to learn. D. There is no royal road to learning. 13. From the passage, we can draw a conclusion that all the BRI countries . A. will remove cultural barriers B. may achieve a win-win result C. will join hands in resource protection D. may keep peace with other countries 14. Why are so many people outside China learning Chinese? A. To acquire more knowledge about China today. B. To communicate with Chinese-speaking people. C. To gain benefit from the Belt and Road Initiative. D. To serve as cultural ambassadors in BRI countries. 15. According to the passage, what do you know about Confucius Institutes except that A. it's a non-profit public institution affiliated by the Chinese Ministry of Education B. it can promote Chinese language and culture C. it supports local Chinese teaching internationally and facilitate cultural exchanges D. it supplies more job opportunities for BRI projects 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文化是通过知识和思想的交流，以及尊重他人的信仰和文化遗产，为社会带来和谐的一种方式。文化交流的主要方式是习近平主席在2013宣布的“一带一路倡议”(BRI)为参与国提供了贸易机会，也可以成为交换思想、思想、知识和文化的场所。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But once I arrived in China, my view changed.(但我一到中国，我的看法就改变了。)” 及第一段可知，以前作者都是从学校了解中国，这次真正见到中国的突飞猛进的发展，也就是眼见为实。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The announcement of the Belt and Road Initiative (倡议) (BRI) by President Xi Jinping in 2013 has provided trade opportunities for participating countries, and can also be a meeting place for the exchange of ideas, thoughts, knowledge and culture.

She says, “Let fresh air from outside in.” This means that opening up your windows is often the simplest way to disperse anything bad that may be accumulating inside.

For instance, you might place one near an open window to help exhaust indoor air to the outdoors. ●____18____ The second thing you can do is called source control, which is keeping sources of pollutants out of the indoor environment if you can, says Pruitt.

It’s also linked to respiratory (呼吸的) and heart disease.(室内空气质量差会对健康造成影响，从眼睛、鼻子和喉咙疾病到头痛和头晕。它还与呼吸系统疾病和心脏病有关)”可知，空前提到室内空气质量差会对人体健康造成影响，比如与呼吸道相关的疾病和心脏病，而空后提到保持室内空气清洁的方法。故此空应承上启下，引出下文的建议。E项“以下是如何保持你室内空气清洁的方法”符合语境。故选E项。 【17题详解】 空前“Katherine Pruitt, National Senior Director for Policy at the American Lung Association, offers three basic steps you can take to make your air better at home.(美国肺脏协会国家高级政策主任Katherine Pruitt提供了三个基本步骤，让你在家里的空气更好)”提到有三个基本步骤可让室内空气更好；再结合第三空下文中的“The second thing you can do is called source control(你可以做的第二件事叫做源头控制)”可知，此空应介绍三个基本步骤中的第一个步骤。D项“第一个步骤与通风有关”符合语境。故选D项。 【18题详解】 设空处为小标题，应概括本段主要内容。根据下文“The second thing you can do is called source control, which is keeping sources of pollutants out of the indoor environment if you can, says Pruitt.(普鲁伊特说，你可以做的第二件事是源头控制，即尽可能将污染源排除在室内环境之外)”可知，本段主要介绍控制污染源。B项“控制污染的来源”可作为本段的小标题，符合语境。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据空前的warns和空后的“Read the labels and select safer products when you can.(阅读标签，尽可能选择更安全的产品)”可知，普鲁伊特建议购买更安全的产品。由此可推知，此空应介绍其原因。G项“使用劣质的清洁用品可能会带来风险”与下文构成因果关系，且G项中的harsh cleaning supplies与下文中的safer products相呼应，符合语境。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据小标题以及上文“Finally, if necessary, the third thing you can try to improve your air is purification.(最后，如果有必要，你可以尝试的第三件事就是净化空气)”可知，本段介绍的第三个步骤是净化空气，且空前“For instance, if you want to remove airborne particles like smoke, dust and germs(例如，如果你想去除空气中的颗粒物，如烟雾、灰尘和细菌)”提到remove airborne particles，即去除空气中的微小颗粒。故F项“使用室内空气净化器可能是有意义的”符合语境。故选F项。 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。 A father saw that his 11 year old son was crying silently.

It was a period in my life that tested my patience and my ability to understand others. It all started when I was in middle school. I had a close friend named Emily, and we spent a lot of time together. One day, Emily introduced me to a new girl in our class, named Olivia. Olivia was quiet and shy, but we quickly became friends as well. One afternoon, after school, we were all working on a project in the classroom. As we were discussing our ideas, Olivia suddenly exclaimed out something that completely contradicted what I had been saying. I was shocked and felt a little embarrassed. I tried to explain my point of view, but Olivia was very stubborn and insisted on her own idea. Emily, who was sitting next to me, tried to mediate (调节) the situation. But Olivia got angry and said some unkind words to me. I was hurt and angry, and I couldn’t believe that Olivia would treat me like that. I stormed out of the classroom, leaving Emily and Olivia behind. The next few days were very difficult for me. I avoided Olivia as much as possible, and our friendship with Emily seemed to be stressed. I felt like I had been betrayed by Olivia, and I couldn’t understand why she would do such a thing. One day, I asked Emily why she was still friends with Olivia after what she had done. Emily looked at me with a sad expression and said, “You know, Olivia has been through a lot lately. Her parents are going through a divorce, and she’s really struggling. Maybe she was rude to you because she was feeling overwhelmed and insecure.” Hearing this, I felt a surge of guilt. I realized that I hadn’t taken the time to understand Olivia’s situation. I had been too quick to judge her and too focused on my own feelings of hurt. I decided to talk to Olivia and apologize for my behavior. 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。 When I found Olivia, she was sitting alone in the hallway. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Olivia accepted my apology and we had a long conversation. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: When I found Olivia, she was sitting alone in the hallway. I walked towards her slowly, my heart pounding. As I reached her, I took a deep breath and sat down beside her. She looked up at me, her eyes filled with sadness and uncertainty. I began to speak, telling her how sorry I was for my actions and for not being more understanding. I expressed my realization that we all have our struggles and that I should have been more empathetic. Olivia listened quietly, and as I finished, a small smile appeared on her face. Olivia accepted my apology and we had a long conversation. She opened up to me about her feelings during that difficult time. I listened attentively, feeling a deep connection with her. We talked about how we could move forward and support each other. We also discussed the importance of forgiveness and how it can heal relationships. As we ended our conversation, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. I knew that our friendship would be stronger than ever, and that this experience had taught me a valuable lesson about empathy and forgiveness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与Emily和Olivia之间的友情故事，特别是与Olivia之间的冲突、误解、沟通以及最终的谅解，展现了一个关于宽恕和同理心的深刻主题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我找到Olivia的时候，她一个人坐在走廊里。”以及第二段首句内容“Olivia接受了我的道歉，我们谈了很久。”可知，第一段可描写作者向Olivia道歉，说出了自己的想法。 ②由第二段首句内容“Olivia接受了我的道歉，我们谈了很久。”可知，第二段可描写两人分享了彼此的想法，友谊更加牢固。 2.续写线索：作者中学时期有个好朋友叫Emily，一次，Emily介绍了一个叫Olivia的女孩给作者，从此三个人成为了好朋友——有一次，三人在一起做项目的时候，Olivia突然大声驳斥了作者的话，而且非常固执，不听作者的解释——Emily试图从中周旋，但是Olivia根本不听——两人开始冷战，互相不理睬——一次，作者询问Emily，Olivia为啥如此——Emily告知作者Olivia的情况——了解真相后，作者非常内疚——于是，作者找到Olivia，向她道歉——两人冰释前嫌，友谊更加牢固 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满……：filled with/full of ②表达：express/extend ③结束：end/put an end to 情绪类 ①悲哀：sadness/sorrow ②专注地：attentively/with attention 【点睛】【高分句型1】As I reached her, I took a deep breath and sat down beside her.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】I expressed my realization that we all have our struggles and that I should have been more empathetic.（运用了that引导的同位语从句） 听力答案1.C 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.C 6.B 7.A 8.C 9.B 10.C 11.B 12.A 13.C 14.C 15.A 16.B 17.A 18.B 19.A 20.C 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
