He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty forces will come to your aid. Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize. Admittedly those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet — and stopped him cold.” Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds. So always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed. 14. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past? A. He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces. C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his way to success. 15. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part? A. Swallow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities. C. Develop more mysterious powers. D. Learn to make creative decisions. 16. What can be learned from Paragraph 5? A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults. B. Trying without success is meaningless. C. Repeated failure creates a better life. D. Boldness can be gained little by little. 17. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage people to be courageous. B To advise people to build up physical power. C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success. D. To recommend people to develop more abilities. C If your hearing begins to decline, your risk of falling may rise. Though it’s not exactly clear how hearing loss increases the risk, it’s known that falls are the top cause of death from injury among people 65 and older. Now, new evidence shows that restoring hearing through the use of hearing aids may be protective, especially when people wear them consistently, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. “We found, quite significantly, that individuals that wore hearing aids compared to those that didn’t, did show a significantly lower prevalence (发生率),” explains Laura Campos, the study’s lead author. “They reported fewer falls, and their scores on a fall’s risk questionnaire showed they were at lower risk.” As part of the study, Campos and her team surveyed about 300 people with hearing loss about their use of hearing aids and asked about their previous falls. The researchers also accounted for factors that could affect fall risk, such as the use of medication that can cause dizziness. Overall, people who wore hearing aids had about a 50% reduced odds of experiencing a fall, compared to non-users. And the reduction was even greater among those who wore hearing aids at least four hours per day. “The effect size is pretty significant,” Campos says. “These consistent hearing aid users had even lower odds of falling.” However, one challenge is that many people who get hearing aids don’t use them every day or stop using them altogether. “A lot of people don’t like them,” says Catherine Jewett, 67, who started wearing a hearing aid on one ear about four years ago. “For some people, the sound amplification (放大) can be hard to adjust to, and others are self-conscious of how they will look with hearing aids,” Jewett adds she feels safer when she wears her hearing aid since she can hear the sounds of a car, for instance, when she’s crossing a street. 18. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By making observations. B. By carrying out experiments. C. By asking questions. D. By referring to previous studies. 19. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the study? A. Its purpose. B. Its process. C. Its finding. D. Its subjects. 20. What is Catherine Jewett’s attitude to hearing aids? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Unknown. 21. What is the best title for the text? A. Selecting Proper Hearing Aids Does Matter B. People With Hearing Loss Need Special Care C. Restoring Hearing Is a Long and Complex Process D. Wearing Hearing Aids May Cut the Risk of Deadly Falls D Conventional chemical fertilizers (化肥) aren’t among the most eco-friendly substances in the world. Not only do they pollute the environment if they get into waterways, but they also reduce nutrients in the soil over time. What’s more, they’re relatively expensive. Seeking a greener and more sustainable alternative, some farmers have started applying nitrogen-fixing bacteria (固氮细菌) to their crops. These bacteria absorb nitrogen gas from the atmosphere and turn it into ammonia in the soil. That ammonia provides the plants with nutrients, restores poor soil, and boosts the plants’ natural defenses against pest insects. One problem with the bacteria, however, is the fact that they are very sensitive to heat and humidity (湿度). This means they don’t stand up well to being shipped out to farms from a central source. With these drawbacks in mind, Asst. Prof. Ariel Furst and her colleagues at MIT have created a method of coating the bacteria in tiny “metal-phenol network” (MPN) shells (外壳). The shells contained organic compounds called phenols, which are generally regarded as safe by the Food and Drug Administration. This new coating technology could make such bacteria more widely available than ever before. On one hand, these coatings don’t block the bacteria’s growth or functions. On the other hand, they do provide protection from heat and humidity. The coated bacteria can even be freeze-dried, then shipped and applied to crops. Furst’s team created 12 different MPNs which comprised metals such as iron, manganese, aluminum and zinc, all of which are considered safe for use as food additives. When these MPNs were used on nitrogen-fixing bacteria, all of them were found to protect the bacteria from temperatures of up to 50℃ and from relative humidity of up to 48%. Furst is now commercializing the technology through a company she founded, called Seia Bio. “When we think about developing technology, we need to intentionally design it to be inexpensive and accessible, and that’s what this technology is.” she said. 22. Why are conventional chemical fertilizers mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic. B. To show their advantages. C. To provide an example. D. To explain how to use them. 23. What can we learn about nitrogen-fixing bacteria? A. They prefer high temperatures. B. They are insensitive to humidity. C. They reduce nutrients in the soil. D. They are environmentally friendly. 24. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. MPN shells. B. The plants. C. Chemical fertilizers. D. The coated bacteria. 25. What does Furst expect of the new coating technology? A. It may help farmers to ship crops. B. It can be widely applied. C. It might be accessible to more companies. D. It will limit the growth of bacteria. 三．七选五 （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。 Problem-solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace and could help you achieve more in your personal life too.

No matter how desperately I begged, his answer was "No! " Finally, I accepted that he was not going to change his mind. I did the only thing that I could. I spent as much time as possible around other people’s pets and I often spent time at a place called Best Friends, an animal shelter near my house. Animals ended up there when their owners could no longer care for them. Whenever I visited the shelter (收容所), I dreamed about taking one of the dogs home with me. One day after school, I stopped off at Best Friends like I usually did. Suddenly, I saw a large, shaggy, yellow dog standing in the corner, and when he saw me, he wagged his tail and began whining (哀鸣). “That’s Fenway,” Renee, the woman at the desk, said. “He whines continuously. His owners brought him here when they moved overseas.” “He must be lonely,” I suggested. “Your parents won’t let you have a dog?” Renee asked. I didn’t answer, but my look must have said everything, because then she said, “That’s too bad. These dogs need good homes and good people to take care of them.” On my way home, I had an idea to assist shelter pets like Fenway. I wrote a touching story as if Fenway were writing it. I told all about his family and why he had no home, shedding light on (解释) his longing for a loving family. With the shelter director’s approval, I proposed sharing more stories in newspapers and online to attract potential adopters. The next weekend, the shelter was flooded with families who wanted pets. They were all drawn by the heartfelt stories of animals like Fenway. Fenway’s tail wagged so fast that I was afraid it might fall off. I stood with Fenway as people admired him. His playful nature and hopeful eyes won over many visitors` hearts, leading to a rise in adoptions. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, I saw my parents walking into the shelter towards Fenway. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was confused why my father changed his mind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025届高二第二学期第二次月考 英语试卷 一．单项选择（每小题1.5分 , 满分15分） 1.

He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty forces will come to your aid. Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize. Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet — and stopped him cold.” Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds. So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed. 14. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past? A.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者联系自己的经历说明要勇敢地尝试自己没有把握的事情，即使失败也比未尝试过好很多。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all(通常是因为我害怕失败，这阻止了我去尝试)”可知，作者以前不能实现自己的目标是因为害怕阻止了他去尝试。故选C。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分下文“They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.(它们是我们拥有的潜在力量：能量、技能、合理的判断力、创造性的想法——甚至比我们大多数人意识到的还要强大。)”可知我们都有比自己意识到的更大的潜在力量，由此可知，我们要充分挖掘自己的潜力，要做稍微超出自己能力的事情，结合划线部分可知，画线部分表面意为“咬掉比你吃得要更多”，但实际是指要做稍微超出自己能力的事情。故选B。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. (大胆——愿意把自己发挥到极致——不是一夜之间就能获得的。但我们可以教给孩子，并在成年人身上扩展。建立信心。)”可知，自信不是一夜之间就能获得的，而是一点一点积累起来的。故选D。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第二段中的“Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.(当然，生活中会有挫折和失望，勇气本身并不能保证成功。但是尝试做某事并失败的人，比那些什么都不做却成功的人要好得多。)”可知，作者联系自己的经历说明要勇敢地尝试自己没有把握的事情，即使失败也比未尝试过好很多。由此可知，作者的写作意图是鼓励人们要勇敢。故选A。 C If your hearing begins to decline, your risk of falling may rise. Though it’s not exactly clear how hearing loss increases the risk, it’s known that falls are the top cause of death from injury among people 65 and older. Now, new evidence shows that restoring hearing through the use of hearing aids may be protective, especially when people wear them consistently, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. “We found, quite significantly, that individuals that wore hearing aids compared to those that didn’t, did show a significantly lower prevalence (发生率),” explains Laura Campos, the study’s lead author. “They reported fewer falls, and their scores on a fall’s risk questionnaire showed they were at lower risk.” As part of the study, Campos and her team surveyed about 300 people with hearing loss about their use of hearing aids and asked about their previous falls. The researchers also accounted for factors that could affect fall risk, such as the use of medication that can cause dizziness. Overall, people who wore hearing aids had about a 50% reduced odds of experiencing a fall, compared to non-users. And the reduction was even greater among those who wore hearing aids at least four hours per day. “The effect size is pretty significant,” Campos says. “These consistent hearing aid users had even lower odds of falling.” However, one challenge is that many people who get hearing aids don’t use them every day or stop using them altogether. “A lot of people don’t like them,” says Catherine Jewett, 67, who started wearing a hearing aid on one ear about four years ago. “For some people, the sound amplification (放大) can be hard to adjust to, and others are self-conscious of how they will look with hearing aids,” Jewett adds she feels safer when she wears her hearing aid since she can hear the sounds of a car, for instance, when she’s crossing a street. 18. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By making observations. B. By carrying out experiments. C. By asking questions. D. By referring to previous studies. 19. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the study? A. Its purpose. B. Its process. C. Its finding. D. Its subjects. 20. What is Catherine Jewett’s attitude to hearing aids? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Unknown. 21. What is the best title for the text? A. Selecting Proper Hearing Aids Does Matter B. People With Hearing Loss Need Special Care C. Restoring Hearing Is a Long and Complex Process D. Wearing Hearing Aids May Cut the Risk of Deadly Falls 【答案】18. C 19. C 20. B 21. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。听力下降往往会增加跌倒的风险，跌倒是65岁及以上人群受伤死亡的首要原因，新的研究发现通过使用助听器来恢复听力可以降低老年人跌倒的风险。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“As part of the study, Campos and her team surveyed about 300 people with hearing loss about their use of hearing aids and asked about their previous falls. The researchers also accounted for factors that could affect fall risk, such as the use of medication that can cause dizziness.(作为研究的一部分，坎波斯和她的团队调查了大约300名听力损失患者使用助听器的情况，并询问了他们以前跌倒的情况。研究人员还考虑了可能影响跌倒风险的因素，比如使用可能导致头晕的药物。)”可知，调查人员通过调查询问进行研究。故选C。 【19题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Overall, people who wore hearing aids had about a 50% reduced odds of experiencing a fall, compared to non-users. And the reduction was even greater among those who wore hearing aids at least four hours per day. “The effect size is pretty significant,” Campos says. “These consistent hearing aid users had even lower odds of falling.”(总的来说，与不戴助听器的人相比，戴助听器的人摔倒的几率降低了50%。而那些每天佩戴助听器至少4小时的人，听力下降的幅度更大。‘这种效应非常显著。’坎波斯说：‘这些长期使用助听器的人摔倒的几率更低。’”)”可知，第五段通过列举数据来介绍这项研究的发现。故选C。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“Jewett adds she feels safer when she wears her hearing aid since she can hear the sounds of a car, for instance, when she’s crossing a street.(朱伊特补充说，戴上助听器让她觉得更安全，因为她可以听到汽车的声音，比如过马路的时候。)”可知，凯瑟琳·朱伊特对助听器的态度是积极的。故选B。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“If your hearing begins to decline, your risk of falling may rise. Though it’s not exactly clear how hearing loss increases the risk, it’s known that falls are the top cause of death from injury among people 65 and older.(如果你的听力开始下降，你摔倒的风险可能会增加。虽然目前还不清楚听力损失是如何增加风险的，但众所周知，跌倒是65岁及以上人群受伤死亡的首要原因。)”和第二段“Now, new evidence shows that restoring hearing through the use of hearing aids may be protective, especially when people wear them consistently, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.(现在，根据发表在《美国老年医学会杂志》上的一项研究，新的证据表明，通过使用助听器来恢复听力可能是有保护作用的，尤其是当人们一直戴着助听器的时候。)”可知，文章主要是讲新的研究发现佩戴助听器可以降低致命跌倒的风险。故选D。 D Conventional chemical fertilizers (化肥) aren’t among the most eco-friendly substances in the world. Not only do they pollute the environment if they get into waterways, but they also reduce nutrients in the soil over time. What’s more, they’re relatively expensive. Seeking a greener and more sustainable alternative, some farmers have started applying nitrogen-fixing bacteria (固氮细菌) to their crops. These bacteria absorb nitrogen gas from the atmosphere and turn it into ammonia in the soil. That ammonia provides the plants with nutrients, restores poor soil, and boosts the plants’ natural defenses against pest insects. One problem with the bacteria, however, is the fact that they are very sensitive to heat and humidity (湿度). This means they don’t stand up well to being shipped out to farms from a central source. With these drawbacks in mind, Asst. Prof. Ariel Furst and her colleagues at MIT have created a method of coating the bacteria in tiny “metal-phenol network” (MPN) shells (外壳). The shells contained organic compounds called phenols, which are generally regarded as safe by the Food and Drug Administration. This new coating technology could make such bacteria more widely available than ever before. On one hand, these coatings don’t block the bacteria’s growth or functions. On the other hand, they do provide protection from heat and humidity. The coated bacteria can even be freeze-dried, then shipped and applied to crops. Furst’s team created 12 different MPNs which comprised metals such as iron, manganese, aluminum and zinc, all of which are considered safe for use as food additives. When these MPNs were used on nitrogen-fixing bacteria, all of them were found to protect the bacteria from temperatures of up to 50℃ and from relative humidity of up to 48%. Furst is now commercializing the technology through a company she founded, called Seia Bio. “When we think about developing technology, we need to intentionally design it to be inexpensive and accessible, and that’s what this technology is.” she said. 22. Why are conventional chemical fertilizers mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic. B. To show their advantages. C. To provide an example. D. To explain how to use them. 23. What can we learn about nitrogen-fixing bacteria? A. They prefer high temperatures. B. They are insensitive to humidity. C. They reduce nutrients in the soil. D. They are environmentally friendly. 24. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. MPN shells. B. The plants. C. Chemical fertilizers. D. The coated bacteria. 25. What does Furst expect of the new coating technology? A. It may help farmers to ship crops. B. It can be widely applied. C. It might be accessible to more companies. D. It will limit the growth of bacteria. 【答案】22. A 23. D 24. A 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种保护固氮细菌的新涂层技术。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Conventional chemical fertilizers (化肥) aren’t among the most eco-friendly substances in the world. Not only do they pollute the environment if they get into waterways, but they also reduce nutrients in the soil over time. What’s more, they’re relatively expensive. (传统的化肥并不是世界上最环保的物质之一。如果它们进入水道，不仅会污染环境，而且随着时间的推移，它们还会减少土壤中的养分。更重要的是，它们相对昂贵。)”和第二段“Seeking a greener and more sustainable alternative, some farmers have started applying nitrogen-fixing bacteria (固氮细菌) to their crops. These bacteria absorb nitrogen gas from the atmosphere and turn it into ammonia in the soil. That ammonia provides the plants with nutrients, restores poor soil, and boosts the plants’ natural defenses against pest insects. (为了寻找更环保、更可持续的替代品，一些农民开始在作物上施用固氮细菌。这些细菌从大气中吸收氮气，并将其转化为土壤中的氨。氨为植物提供养分，恢复贫瘠的土壤，增强植物对害虫的天然防御能力。)”可推断，作者在第一段提及传统化肥是为了引人话题，即一种保护固氮细菌的新涂层技术。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据二段“Seeking a greener and more sustainable alternative, some farmers have started applying nitrogen-fixing bacteria (固氮细菌) to their crops. These bacteria absorb nitrogen gas from the atmosphere and turn it into ammonia in the soil. That ammonia provides the plants with nutrients, restores poor soil, and boosts the plants’ natural defenses against pest insects.

Prof. Ariel Furst and her colleagues at MIT have created a method of coating the bacteria in tiny “metal-phenol network” (MPN) shells (外壳). The shells contained organic compounds called phenols, which are generally regarded as safe by the Food and Drug Administration. (考虑到这些缺点，麻省理工学院的Ariel Furst助理教授和她的同事们创造了一种方法，将细菌包裹在微小的“金属-苯酚网络”（MPN）外壳中。这些贝壳含有被称为酚类的有机化合物，食品和药物管理局通常认为这种化合物是安全的。)”和第五段中“On one hand, these coatings don’t block the bacteria’s growth or functions. On the other hand, they do provide protection from heat and humidity.(一方面，这些涂层不会阻碍细菌的生长或功能。另一方面，它们确实提供了对热量和湿度的保护。)”可推断，画线代词they指的是 MPN shells。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题，根据最后一段“Furst is now commercializing the technology through a company she founded, called Seia Bio. (Furst现在正在通过她创立的一家名为Seia Bio的公司将这项技术商业化。)”可推断，Furst希望新的涂层技术可以被广泛应用。故选B。 三．七选五 （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。 Problem-solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace and could help you achieve more in your personal life too.

No matter how desperately I begged, his answer was "No! " Finally, I accepted that he was not going to change his mind. I did the only thing that I could. I spent as much time as possible around other people’s pets and I often spent time at a place called Best Friends, an animal shelter near my house. Animals ended up there when their owners could no longer care for them. Whenever I visited the shelter (收容所), I dreamed about taking one of the dogs home with me. One day after school, I stopped off at Best Friends like I usually did. Suddenly, I saw a large, shaggy, yellow dog standing in the corner, and when he saw me, he wagged his tail and began whining (哀鸣). “That’s Fenway,” Renee, the woman at the desk, said. “He whines continuously. His owners brought him here when they moved overseas.” “He must be lonely,” I suggested. “Your parents won’t let you have a dog?” Renee asked. I didn’t answer, but my look must have said everything, because then she said, “That’s too bad. These dogs need good homes and good people to take care of them.” On my way home, I had an idea to assist shelter pets like Fenway. I wrote a touching story as if Fenway were writing it. I told all about his family and why he had no home, shedding light on (解释) his longing for a loving family. With the shelter director’s approval, I proposed sharing more stories in newspapers and online to attract potential adopters. The next weekend, the shelter was flooded with families who wanted pets. They were all drawn by the heartfelt stories of animals like Fenway. Fenway’s tail wagged so fast that I was afraid it might fall off. I stood with Fenway as people admired him. His playful nature and hopeful eyes won over many visitors` hearts, leading to a rise in adoptions. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, I saw my parents walking into the shelter towards Fenway. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was confused why my father changed his mind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Suddenly, I saw my parents walking into the shelter towards Fenway. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Were they here to adopt a pet? My heart started to race with excitement. I wondered how this could be happening. Maybe they had read my story and were touched by it. I was confused why my father changed his mind. Did he really want to adopt Fenway? I looked at him, searching for an answer. He gave me a smile and said, “We thought it was time to give a home to a furry friend, and Fenway seemed like the perfect choice.” I was overjoyed and ran towards Fenway, hugging him tightly. This was a dream come true. 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章作者通过描述自己与父亲关于养宠物的争执、对收容所宠物的关注、为帮助这些宠物而写故事并分享、以及最终父母决定收养Fenway这一故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，我看见我的父母走进避难所，向Fenway走来。”以及第二段首句内容“我不明白父亲为什么改变主意。”可知，第一段可描写作者的父母前来领养Fenway。 ②由第二段首句内容“我不明白父亲为什么改变主意。”可知，第二段可描写作者成功领养了Fenway。 2.续写线索：作者非常想要领养一只宠物，可是作者的父亲坚决不同意——作者只能经常前往一个动物收容所，照顾那些宠物——一次，作者在收容所看到一只叫Fenway的狗——作者非常想要领养，但是想到态度坚决的父母，作者放弃了——作者决定在网上发帖，为Fenway找一个有爱的领养家庭——看到这个故事后，许多人前来收容所想要领养Fenway——就在这时，作者看到了自己的父母也来领养Fenway——作者非常激动自己终于领养了Fenway 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想知道：wonder/want to know ②寻找：search for/look for ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②被打动的：touched/moved 【点睛】【高分句型1】I wondered how this could be happening.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】We thought it was time to give a home to a furry friend, and Fenway seemed like the perfect choice.（运用了省略引导词that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
