B One Saturday in December, Annacarin Elf, the head of operations at Gothenburg City Library, just happened to walk by her workplace. Noticing that the door was open, she entered the library, and was astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were using it like on a regular day. It was scheduled to be closed for the New Year holiday. The people in the library behaved as usual. Many were sitting reading newspapers, some families were in the children's section and others were searching for books on the computer. It seemed that Elf's colleagues had simply forgotten to lock the door, and because this popular library is usually open on Saturdays. visitors just assumed they could walk in. Elf called to check with her staff team, before announcing to the people present that the library was about to close. Then she expressed her regret for what had been done wrong and caused them a problem. It later turns out that 446 locals visited the city library borrowing a total of 246 books during the day. What's remarkable is that people checked out their books through the library's electronic self-service system, and that to date, all the books have been retuned! Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect for the library, a center that can be seen as a sign of the community, and what the locals did has strengthened their sense of belonging in their community. Elf says, “Nothing was destroyed. It's amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty library and treated and so lovingly.” The city leader has even suggested that this unusual Saturday serve as an accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a totally automated library without staff. 4. Why did Elf feel surprised after entering the library? A The library staff were in it. B. People kept reading on holidays. C. People came in without permission. D. It was used though supposed to be closed. 5. What did Elf do that Saturday? A. She left the library open. B. She asked the staff back. C. She apologized to the visitors. D. She read books in the library. 6. What do many Swedes think of the behavior of Gothenburg locals? A. It displays community spirit. B. It gives the library much uplift. C. It is a positive reaction to society. D. It strengthens trust between people. 7. What does the author want to convey through the story? A. People tend to show care for others. B. Life is always full of the unexpected. C. Libraries can be automated sometimes. D. A library can bring out the best in people. C For a few months twice a year, the waters off California are home to gray whales moving north or south between the coast of Mexico and the Bering Sea. These years, however, it seems that fewer whales are surviving the journey north. So far this year, a total of 30 dead gray whales have been washed up on the West Coast: 8 in Washington, 1 in Oregon and 21 in California. Those numbers arc unusually high. “In Northern California three out of four of the dead whales that have been examined so far appear to have died of starvation and the fourth was killed by a ship strike,” said Barbie Halaska, a research assistant at The Marine Mammal Center (TMMC), a nonprofit organization that rescues and rehabilitates (使康复) marine mammals in California. Halaska and her colleagues examined the four whales — three young whales and one adult male — and planned to examine the remaining dead whales in the region in the next couple of days. Gray whales were once severely threatened by whalers. Only around 2,000 of them lived in the ocean in 1946, so an international agreement to stop gray whale hunting was signed in order to help the population recover. Gray whales were removed from the US endangered species list in 1994 when the population reached 23,000 and TMMC predicts there are now around 26,000 gray whales in the Pacific Ocean, which is about the number before the whaling boom appeared almost 200 years ago. “Although the gray whale population has recovered to a certain degree, the number of dead gray whales washed up this year is alarming,” Halaska said. “Climate change and declining fish stocks are likely key factors in the whales’ poor health,” she said. Halaska stressed that boaters and beachgoers on the West Coast should watch out or gray whales at this time of year. 8. What are the statistics in paragraph 3 about? A. Severe conditions gray whales face. B. An agreement to stop killing whales. C. The evolving development of gray whales. D. The number of gray whales in different times. 9. Which of the following best explains the underlined word in paragraph 3? A. Popularity. B. Competition. C. A quick increase. D. A successful completion. 10. What’s Halaska’s attitude towards the population of gray whales? A. Worried. B. Discouraged. C. Uncaring. D. Optimistic. 11. What may be talked about following the last paragraph? A. The importance of gray whales. B. Gray whales’ living environment. C. Things to do to help gray whales. D. Ways to increase gray whales’ population. D Individuals vary in how they react to anxiety Some bury their heads in the sand and ignore the mounting sense of anxiety that seems to occupy the society. Others are in a watchful state and can’t get enough of the up-to-the-minute news and social media feeds. Martin Buber once stated that we related to three things around us: nature, our fellow men, and how you view the world. When we are in a burdened (忧虑的) state, we tend to take no notice of any of these. When we become unburdened from our depressed selves, we are able to discover the delights and wonders around and experience a deep sense of gratitude. At a time when news reports are merely a click away, people’s anxiety becomes even intenser. Because of 24/7 media, the international and the interpersonal have integrated in a way that we have never seen before. It seems that we’ve lost the capacity to maintain our inner peace—and that’s not just a matter of having opposing views about issues. It’s a matter of not having the patience to involve in delightful communication and to hear each other. Transforming the situation can't be achieved overnight. It’s not accidental, which must be approached with strength. It comes from the efforts to attain understanding and calm. Our age of anxiety presents us with challenges. But out of adversity comes opportunity. Never can we maintain calm and experience gratitude at a time when we are burdened, worried, and anxious. Like anything else, relaxation and calm take a bit of work. Attempt to limit your exposure to updates on the news and take a couple of moments to count your blessings—including the people in your life and the fortune from which you’ve benefited. As you may be aware, it is taking things for granted that robs you of the fruits of your labor. Praying for goodness and planting seeds of gratitude may be our only way out. 12. What might happen to a relaxed person? A. Spotting the beauty in the surroundings. B. Paying no attention to the state of mind. C. Getting on well with nature and fellows. D. Grasping the latest news items with care. 13. What makes people anxiety-stricken? A. The lack of peaceful talks. B. The information overload. C. The widespread false news. D. The opposing views online. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Methods to overcome challenges and barriers. B. Steps to robbing people of their fruits of labor. C. Tips on limiting the exposure to news updates. D. Ways to ease anxiety and appreciate blessings. 15. Which might be a suitable title for the text? A. Take Nothing Online for Granted B. Watch Out for the Traps of Media C. Be Grateful in an Age of Anxiety D. Count Blessings Instead of Worries 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。 Poems create vivid pictures and tell stories by using language creatively.

With her parents’ support, Sarah dreamed of opening her own bakery, a place where she could turn her interest into a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her skills and gaining real-world experience. Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a small but charming table at a local park. The park, filled with families and laughter, was the perfect place for Sarah to sell her creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colorful homemade cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts’ smell. On a particularly bright and sunny afternoon, as Sarah was carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed lost in thought. As the hours went by, Sarah noticed that the woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the world. A sense of concern washed over Sarah. So she decided to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favorite, and approached the woman. “I thought you might like some snacks,” Sarah said with a warm, inviting smile. The woman’s face lit up as she accepted the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven’t had such a delicious treat since my retirement,” she responded, her voice soft yet filled with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her face. A little shocked, Sarah asked what had happened. The woman introduced herself as Mrs. Wilson, who had been a baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home. Sarah listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman’s story. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Sarah decided to help Mrs. Wilson out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 ACBAC 6—10 ABACB 11—15 BCACA 16—20 BCBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 大荔县2023—2024学年（下）高二年级期末质量检测试题 英语 注意事项： 1．本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．选择题用2B铅笔将正确答案涂写在答题卡上；非选择题用0.5mm黑色墨水签字笔答在答题卡的指定答题区域内，超出答题区域答案无效。 3．答题前，请将姓名、考号、试卷类型按要求涂写在答题卡上。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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What does the man want to do?

But if you book a week earlier, you can get a 5 percent discount in total.(在这里住一晚只比在斯卡伯勒多花10英镑。但如果您提前一周预订，总共可以享受5%的折扣)”可知，游客在斯旺西住一晚至少要花(85+10)* (1 - 5%) = 90.25英镑。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Blackpool下的“It’s no wonder the town has gained 980.8 million views on TikTok.(难怪这个小镇在TikTok上的点击量达到了9.808亿)”，Searborough下的“North Yorkshire’s Scarborough sees 49,500 monthly searches and 686.4 million views on TikTok.(北约克郡斯卡伯勒的TikTok月搜索量为4.95万次，观看量为6.864亿次)”，Swansea下的“The Welsh town sees 27,100 monthly searches and has 622.4 million views on TikTok.(这个威尔士小镇的月搜索量为27100次，TikTok的浏览量为6.224亿次)”以及Bournemouth下的“With a World Heritage Site within its borders, it’s no surprise to see this town with the high number of views on TikTok (868.3 million).(由于这里是世界遗产，所以这个小镇在TikTok上的点击量很高(8.683亿)也就不足为奇了)”可知，Blackpool有980.8 million views，是四个选项中最高的，而次高的是Bournemouth，有868.3 million views，排在第二。故选D项。 B One Saturday in December, Annacarin Elf, the head of operations at Gothenburg City Library, just happened to walk by her workplace. Noticing that the door was open, she entered the library, and was astonished to see the heartwarming scene that people were using it like on a regular day. It was scheduled to be closed for the New Year holiday. The people in the library behaved as usual. Many were sitting reading newspapers, some families were in the children's section and others were searching for books on the computer. It seemed that Elf's colleagues had simply forgotten to lock the door, and because this popular library is usually open on Saturdays. visitors just assumed they could walk in. Elf called to check with her staff team, before announcing to the people present that the library was about to close. Then she expressed her regret for what had been done wrong and caused them a problem. It later turns out that 446 locals visited the city library borrowing a total of 246 books during the day. What's remarkable is that people checked out their books through the library's electronic self-service system, and that to date, all the books have been retuned! Many Swedes have reacted positively to this uplifting demonstration of local respect for the library, a center that can be seen as a sign of the community, and what the locals did has strengthened their sense of belonging in their community. Elf says, “Nothing was destroyed. It's amazing that Gothenburgers entered an empty library and treated and so lovingly.” The city leader has even suggested that this unusual Saturday serve as an accidental experiment to analyse the possibility of operating a totally automated library without staff. 4. Why did Elf feel surprised after entering the library? A. The library staff were in it. B. People kept reading on holidays. C. People came in without permission. D. It was used though supposed to be closed. 5. What did Elf do that Saturday? A. She left the library open. B. She asked the staff back. C. She apologized to the visitors. D. She read books in the library. 6. What do many Swedes think of the behavior of Gothenburg locals? A. It displays community spirit. B. It gives the library much uplift. C. It is a positive reaction to society. D. It strengthens trust between people. 7. What does the author want to convey through the story? A. People tend to show care for others. B. Life is always full of the unexpected. C. Libraries can be automated sometimes. D. A library can bring out the best in people. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7.

These years, however, it seems that fewer whales are surviving the journey north. So far this year, a total of 30 dead gray whales have been washed up on the West Coast: 8 in Washington, 1 in Oregon and 21 in California. Those numbers arc unusually high. “In Northern California, three out of four of the dead whales that have been examined so far appear to have died of starvation and the fourth was killed by a ship strike,” said Barbie Halaska, a research assistant at The Marine Mammal Center (TMMC), a nonprofit organization that rescues and rehabilitates (使康复) marine mammals in California. Halaska and her colleagues examined the four whales — three young whales and one adult male — and planned to examine the remaining dead whales in the region in the next couple of days. Gray whales were once severely threatened by whalers. Only around 2,000 of them lived in the ocean in 1946, so an international agreement to stop gray whale hunting was signed in order to help the population recover. Gray whales were removed from the US endangered species list in 1994 when the population reached 23,000 and TMMC predicts there are now around 26,000 gray whales in the Pacific Ocean, which is about the number before the whaling boom appeared almost 200 years ago. “Although the gray whale population has recovered to a certain degree, the number of dead gray whales washed up this year is alarming,” Halaska said. “Climate change and declining fish stocks are likely key factors in the whales’ poor health,” she said. Halaska stressed that boaters and beachgoers on the West Coast should watch out or gray whales at this time of year. 8. What are the statistics in paragraph 3 about? A. Severe conditions gray whales face. B. An agreement to stop killing whales. C. The evolving development of gray whales. D. The number of gray whales in different times. 9. Which of the following best explains the underlined word in paragraph 3? A. Popularity. B. Competition. C. A quick increase. D. A successful completion. 10. What’s Halaska’s attitude towards the population of gray whales? A. Worried. B. Discouraged. C. Uncaring. D. Optimistic. 11. What may be talked about following the last paragraph? A. The importance of gray whales. B. Gray whales’ living environment. C. Things to do to help gray whales. D. Ways to increase gray whales’ population. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在北上途中死亡的灰鲸越来越多，而气候变化和鱼群数量下降可能是导致灰鲸健康状况不佳的关键因素。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Only around 2,000 of them lived in the ocean in 1946, so an international agreement to stop gray whale hunting was signed in order to help the population recover. Gray whales were removed from the US endangered species list in 1994 when the population reached 23,000 and TMMC predicts there are now around 26,000 gray whales in the Pacific Ocean(1946年，只有大约2000头灰鲸生活在海洋中，因此一项禁止捕杀灰鲸的国际协议被签署，以帮助灰鲸数量恢复。灰鲸于1994年从美国濒危物种名单中删除，当时灰鲸的数量达到23,000只，TMMC预测现在太平洋上约有26,000只灰鲸)”可知，1946年只有大约2000头灰鲸生活在海洋中，而在1994年达到了23000头，TMMC预测，现在太平洋中大约有26000头灰鲸。因此，我们可以了解到第三段的统计数据是关于不同时期灰鲸的数量的。故选D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段中的“Gray whales were removed from the US endangered species list in 1994 when the population reached 23,000(1994年，当灰鲸的数量达到2.3万只时，灰鲸被从美国濒危物种名单中删除)”可知，目前太平洋里的灰鲸数量多,由“around 26,000 gray whales ... which is about the number before the whaling boom appeared almost 200 years ago”可知，在whaling boom之前灰鲸数量也比较多，故whaling boom应表示捕鲸现象增多。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中Halaska说的话“Although the gray whale population has recovered to a certain degree, the number of dead gray whales washed up this year is alarming,(虽然灰鲸的数量已经恢复到一定程度，但今年被冲上岸的灰鲸尸体的数量令人震惊)”可知，虽然在一定程度上灰鲸数量已经恢复，但今年死亡的灰鲸数量令人震惊。由此推知，Halaska对灰鲸的数量是担忧的。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Halaska stressed that boaters and beachgoers on the West Coast should watch out or gray whales at this time of year.( Halaska强调，每年这个时候，西海岸的划船者和海滩游客都应该注意灰鲸)”可推知，紧接着可能是帮助灰鲸的一些做法。因此，最后一段之后可能讨论帮助灰鲸的做法。故选C。 D Individuals vary in how they react to anxiety. Some bury their heads in the sand and ignore the mounting sense of anxiety that seems to occupy the society. Others are in a watchful state and can’t get enough of the up-to-the-minute news and social media feeds. Martin Buber once stated that we related to three things around us: nature, our fellow men, and how you view the world. When we are in a burdened (忧虑的) state, we tend to take no notice of any of these. When we become unburdened from our depressed selves, we are able to discover the delights and wonders around and experience a deep sense of gratitude. At a time when news reports are merely a click away, people’s anxiety becomes even intenser. Because of 24/7 media, the international and the interpersonal have integrated in a way that we have never seen before. It seems that we’ve lost the capacity to maintain our inner peace—and that’s not just a matter of having opposing views about issues. It’s a matter of not having the patience to involve in delightful communication and to hear each other. Transforming the situation can't be achieved overnight. It’s not accidental, which must be approached with strength. It comes from the efforts to attain understanding and calm. Our age of anxiety presents us with challenges. But out of adversity comes opportunity. Never can we maintain calm and experience gratitude at a time when we are burdened, worried, and anxious. Like anything else, relaxation and calm take a bit of work. Attempt to limit your exposure to updates on the news and take a couple of moments to count your blessings—including the people in your life and the fortune from which you’ve benefited. As you may be aware, it is taking things for granted that robs you of the fruits of your labor. Praying for goodness and planting seeds of gratitude may be our only way out. 12. What might happen to a relaxed person? A. Spotting the beauty in the surroundings. B. Paying no attention to the state of mind. C. Getting on well with nature and fellows. D. Grasping the latest news items with care. 13. What makes people anxiety-stricken? A. The lack of peaceful talks. B. The information overload. C. The widespread false news. D. The opposing views online. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Methods to overcome challenges and barriers. B. Steps to robbing people of their fruits of labor. C. Tips on limiting the exposure to news updates. D. Ways to ease anxiety and appreciate blessings. 15. Which might be a suitable title for the text? A. Take Nothing Online for Granted B. Watch Out for the Traps of Media C. Be Grateful in an Age of Anxiety D. Count Blessings Instead of Worries 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。本文主要讲述了人们的焦虑情绪和信息过载以及如何在焦虑的时代中保持冷静和感激。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When we become unburdened from our depressed selves, we are able to discover the delights and wonders around and experience a deep sense of gratitude.(当我们从沮丧的自我中解脱出来时，我们就能发现周围的快乐和奇迹，并体验到一种深深的感激之情)”可知，一个放松的人可能会发现周围环境中的美好。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At a time when news reports are merely a click away, people’s anxiety becomes even intenser. Because of 24/7 media, the international and the interpersonal have integrated in a way that we have never seen before. It seems that we’ve lost the capacity to maintain our inner peace—and that’s not just a matter of having opposing views about issues.(在一个新闻报道只需点击一下的时代，人们的焦虑变得更加强烈。由于全天候的媒体，国际和人际关系以一种我们从未见过的方式融合在一起。似乎我们已经失去了保持内心平静的能力——这不仅仅是对问题持相反观点的问题)”可知，由于24/7的媒体，国际和人际交流以前所未有的方式融合在一起，新闻报告也只是一次点击之遥，这使得人们的焦虑变得更加严重。因此，信息过载是导致人们焦虑的原因。故选B项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Our age of anxiety presents us with challenges. But out of adversity comes opportunity. Never can we maintain calm and experience gratitude at a time when we are burdened, worried, and anxious. Like anything else, relaxation and calm take a bit of work. Attempt to limit your exposure to updates on the news and take a couple of moments to count your blessings—including the people in your life and the fortune from which you’ve benefited. As you may be aware, it is taking things for granted that robs you of the fruits of your labor. Praying for goodness and planting seeds of gratitude may be our only way out.(我们这个焦虑的时代给我们带来了挑战。但祸不单行。当我们背负重担、忧心忡忡、焦虑不安的时候，我们永远无法保持冷静，体会感恩。像其他事情一样，放松和平静需要一些努力。尽量少看最新的新闻，花点时间数一数你的幸福——包括你生命中的人和你从中受益的财富。正如你可能已经意识到的，它是把事情视为理所当然，剥夺了你的劳动成果。祈求上天，播下感恩的种子，也许是我们唯一的出路)”可知，本段主要讲述了如何在焦虑的时代中缓解焦虑并感激生活中的美好。作者建议尝试限制接触新闻更新，花一些时间数数自己的幸福，包括生活中的人和从中受益的财富。因此，本段的主要内容是关于如何缓解焦虑和感激生活中的美好。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Martin Buber once stated that we related to three things around us: nature, our fellow men, and how you view the world. When we are in a burdened (忧虑的) state, we tend to take no notice of any of these. When we become unburdened from our depressed selves, we are able to discover the delights and wonders around and experience a deep sense of gratitude.(马丁·布伯(Martin Buber)曾经说过，我们与身边的三件事有关:自然、我们的同胞以及你如何看待世界。当我们处于负担重重的状态时，我们往往不会注意到这些。当我们从沮丧的自我中解脱出来时，我们就能发现周围的快乐和奇迹，并体验到一种深深的感激之情)”以及纵观全文可知，全文都在讨论如何在焦虑的时代中保持感恩之心，因此最适合的标题是C项“Be Grateful in an Age of Anxiety(在焦虑的时代中感恩)”。故选C项。 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。 Poems create vivid pictures and tell stories by using language creatively.

With her parents’ support, Sarah dreamed of opening her own bakery, a place where she could turn her interest into a business. However, she knew the importance of improving her skills and gaining real-world experience. Therefore, every Saturday, without fail, she would set up a small but charming table at a local park. The park, filled with families and laughter, was the perfect place for Sarah to sell her creations. Her table, neatly laid out with colorful homemade cookies and cakes, attracted passers-by with the desserts’ smell. On a particularly bright and sunny afternoon, as Sarah was carefully arranging her chocolate cookies and cakes, her attention was drawn to an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench. The woman, with her silver hair and sad eyes, seemed lost in thought. As the hours went by, Sarah noticed that the woman remained where she was, seemingly forgotten by the world. A sense of concern washed over Sarah. So she decided to act. She poured a cup of warm tea carefully and cut a generous slice of her rich chocolate cake, a crowd favorite, and approached the woman. “I thought you might like some snacks,” Sarah said with a warm, inviting smile. The woman’s face lit up as she accepted the treat. “Thank you, dear. I haven’t had such a delicious treat since my retirement,” she responded, her voice soft yet filled with gratitude. As she enjoyed the cake, tears rolled down her face. A little shocked, Sarah asked what had happened. The woman introduced herself as Mrs. Wilson, who had been a baker before she retired. Since losing her husband to cancer a week ago, she had been living alone. Her visits to the park were her escape from the loneliness that filled her quiet home. Sarah listened attentively, her heart touched by the woman’s story. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Sarah decided to help Mrs. Wilson out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】佳作展台 Sarah decided to help Mrs. Wilson out. Every Saturday, as Sarah saw Mrs. Wilson, she would treat Mrs. Wilson to her desserts generously and chat with Mrs. Wilson in order to comfort the elderly woman and make Mrs. Wilson feel she was cared about. Influenced by Sarah’s kindness，Mrs. Wilson gradually worked through her sorrow. While enjoying Surah’s deserts, Mrs. Wilson shared her baking stories and valuable baking experience without reservation with Sarah and offered her tips on opening a bakery after knowing Sarah’s dream. Over time, their unlikely friendship became noticed in the park. Sarah’s small table was not merely a place to buy desserts; it turned into a symbol of caring for the elderly. Mrs. Wilson, once a lonely woman, found herself being surrounded by a group of new friends, whose company helped her get out of loneliness. Assisted by Mrs. Wilson, the small table has grown into a shop. Sarah’s bakery has been on the up and up with a constant stream of visitors, who are attracted by both the lovely smell and the moving story. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了高中生Sarah对烘焙充满热情，她梦想有一天能开一家自己的烘焙店。为了提高技能和获得实践经验，她每周六都会在一个公园设立一个小摊位，出售自制的曲奇和蛋糕。一天，她注意到一位忧郁的老妇人独自坐在公园的长椅上陷入沉思。Sarah给老人端来一杯茶喝一块巧克力蛋糕，并开始与之交谈。老妇人介绍她自己为威尔逊夫人，退休前是一名烘焙师，自从一星期前丈夫因癌症去世后她一直独居，来公园是她躲避孤独的方式。Sarah倾听着威尔逊夫人的故事，内心深受触动。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Sarah决定帮助威尔逊夫人摆脱困境。”可知，第一段可描写两人因烘焙而建立了联系，并且随着两人之间对话和互动更加频繁，关系进一步深化。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的推移，她们难以置信的友谊在公园引起了注意。”可知，第二段可描写Sarah的善举引发了人们的关注，越来越多的人付出爱心，关爱孤独的威尔逊夫人。还可以描写Sarah的烘焙能力得到大家的认可，最终她成功拥有了一家自己的烘焙店。 2.续写线索：Sarah请威尔逊夫人吃甜点——两人聊天——Sarah安慰威尔逊夫人——悲伤逐渐消除——威尔逊夫人分享烘焙经验——威尔逊夫人得到更多关爱——Sarah最终开了烘焙店。 3.词汇激活 行为类 招待/款待某人：treat sb. to/offer sb. hospitality 摆脱：get out of/get rid of 影响：influence/affect 吸引：attract/appeal to 情绪类 关心他人的：caring/thoughtful 令人感动的：moving/touching 【点睛】[高分句型1]Mrs. Wilson, once a lonely woman, found herself being surrounded by a group of new friends, whose company helped her get out of loneliness.（运用了whose引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]Assisted by Mrs. Wilson, the small table has grown into a shop.（运用了过去分词作状语） 1—5 ACBAC 6—10 ABACB 11—15 BCACA 16—20 BCBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
