My husband Todd and I first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, as we needed these little doses of moonlight to stay happy, though sometimes we had to hike through the forest to find a perfect spot. But after we became parents, we did this for our children. We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world, available to all. Once we arrived at our location, Sierra and I stood holding hands, waiting to cheer the full moon in its rising—a thin sliver of the appealing moon emerged above the ridge of the mountain afar. Soon, more of the moon came out until it turned into a brilliant orange sphere. Todd explained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon generates no light, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight back to us. “Does the moon’s face change?” Bryce asked. I told him that the moon rotates (旋转) around the earth, but does not spin by itself, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth. Sierra remarked that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising. I explained that it is a visual illusion (错觉) because it is so close to the horizon that the moon magically tricks our eyes into comparing it with nearby objects, thus creating the impression of the increased size. Much of the knowledge that I shared with the kids was learned from my parents. During my childhood, they would take me on educational adventures out in the woods, and as I later found, so did their parents. So every time I go for a full moon walk with my beloved family, I thank those wise educators who came before me. To educate, sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and gazing up at the heavens. 14. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Going on a hike through the forest. B. Taking a walk under the full moon. C. Watching magic shows every month. D. Traveling far from home for adventure. 15. What can we learn from their family outing? A. The kids were reluctant to participate. B. Todd mentioned the mirror to explain sunlight. C. The kids exhibited a spirit of exploration about the moon. D. The author used a magic trick to explain the larger moon. 16. Which of the following best describes the parents? A. Creative and faithful. B. Selfless and brave. C. Inspiring and generous. D. Insightful and patient. 17. What does the story convey to the readers? A. Life is what you make it. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. Nature is the best teacher. D. God helps those who help themselves. C A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said. I had never noticed the habit but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed. When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making. I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then. I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem. It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected to their culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition. 18. What did the writer become aware of? A. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds. B. She had various snacks while watching TV. C. She had ever typed a report about seeds. D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. 19. Why does the writer mention Chinese New Year? A. To prove that her habit of eating sunflower seeds is related to it. B. To prove different countries have different habits in regard to food. C. To prove the traditions of celebrating it are disappearing. D. To prove how happy the children were at that time. 20. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is ________. A. neutral B. critical C. acceptable D. doubtful 21. What lesson can we learn from the story? A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. B. Eating habits come from a certain culture. C. Changing your eating habits will change your life. D. It is good to form healthy eating habits. D As humanity has got richer, animal’s roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine (内燃机) made horses unneeded; modern sanitation (卫生设备) kept rats in check and made cats less useful. Domestic animals are no longer necessities, but commonly seen companions. Pet-keeping seems to become more and more popular, as a recent survey found that 69% of American households keep at least one pet. The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more money on them. No longer are they food-waste-recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters’ tables. Pet food shelves are full of cuisines tailored to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic, or suffer from sensitive digestion. In the business, this is called “pet humanization” — the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family. This is obvious in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex, and Spot to Bella, Lucy, and Max. People still hold the false assumption that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. New research suggests that dogs have evolved those “cute eyes” to affect human emotions and control them, which works very well. Humans now work very hard to pay for the care of their pets. For example, Americans often refer to themselves not as cat owners but as the cat’s “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one step further, describing themselves as cat “butlers (管家)”. Watch an unlucky man walking his dog, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and we have to doubt: who’s in charge now? Is this relationship what we really want? 22. What can we learn about the animal-keeping trend? A. People’s needs for animal services are increasing. B. The price for purchasing a domestic pet is on the rise. C. Pet foods are less various and customized than before. D. Both the pet number and the pet business are growing. 23. Which of the following is the evidence of “pet humanization”? A. Pets’ ability to make their owners less anxious. B. Human’s increasing investment in pet-keeping. C. Pet’s roles as both working staff and companions. D. The owners’ preference to give pets human names. 24. What is the author’s attitude towards the current human-pet relationship? A. Skeptical. B. Conservative. C. Unclear. D. Approving. 25. Which might be the best title of the passage? A. The Changing Roles of Pets B. The Growing Trend of Pet Business C. The Craze for Pet-keeping D. The Pros and Cons of Keeping Pets 第二节. 阅读七选五（每小题2. 5分，共12. 5分） Emotional Eating Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger. ___26___ Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot— especially without realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being. ___27___ One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they’re stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.

The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. ___30___ That’s why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger. Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it. A. Believe it or not we’ve all been there. B. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort. C. One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards. D. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like. E. Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it. F.

Harry and David were informed of their task when it was nearly midnight. It was urgent so there was no time to hesitate. They headed into the forest. The forest was black and silent. A little way into it they reached a fork in the earth path. Harry and David took the left path. They walked in silence, their eyes on the ground, watching out for the traps like big pits（坑）set by the illegal hunters. Every now and then a ray of moonlight through the branches above lit a spot of scarlet（猩红的）blood on the fallen leaves. David saw that Harry looked very worried, asking, "Could Unicorn be hurt that badly?" Harry answered, "If we can't find it as soon as possible, it doesn't stand much chance to survive." Of course, Unicorn was not the animal in fairy tales but the nickname of a 3-year-old elephant, the last wild elephant in this forest. The nickname was given by the biodiversity rescuers who were protecting every member in this forest. They knew Unicorn was obedient and not afraid of human beings and that sometimes put it in danger. "Without it, the forest was not complete. Those illegal hunters should be thrown into prison." Harry thought, carrying his first aid kit（急救箱）on his back and walking forward with his flashlight. It seemed that thick fog would come at any time, which would increase the danger. Harry hurried into the heart of the forest with David. They walked for nearly half an hour, deeper and deeper. There were blood splashes（血迹）on the roots of a tree, as though the poor creature had been struggling around in pain close by. "We must hurry up", said Harry. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: However, it was really not easy for them to find it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Without delay, Harry knelt down to do first aid on its wound with David holding the flashlight. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025届高二年级第二学期3月月考 英语试卷 （时间：120分钟 满分：150分） 一、单项选择（每小题1. 5分，共15分） 1.

My husband Todd and I first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, as we needed these little doses of moonlight to stay happy, though sometimes we had to hike through the forest to find a perfect spot. But after we became parents, we did this for our children. We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world, available to all. Once we arrived at our location, Sierra and I stood holding hands, waiting to cheer the full moon in its rising—a thin sliver of the appealing moon emerged above the ridge of the mountain afar. Soon, more of the moon came out until it turned into a brilliant orange sphere. Todd explained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon generates no light, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight back to us. “Does the moon’s face change?” Bryce asked. I told him that the moon rotates (旋转) around the earth, but does not spin by itself, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth. Sierra remarked that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising. I explained that it is a visual illusion (错觉) because it is so close to the horizon that the moon magically tricks our eyes into comparing it with nearby objects, thus creating the impression of the increased size. Much of the knowledge that I shared with the kids was learned from my parents. During my childhood, they would take me on educational adventures out in the woods, and as I later found, so did their parents. So every time I go for a full moon walk with my beloved family, I thank those wise educators who came before me. To educate, sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and gazing up at the heavens. 14. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Going on a hike through the forest. B. Taking a walk under the full moon. C. Watching magic shows every month. D.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者全家在满月下外出散步的经历，在月亮下作者和孩子们探讨了有关月球的知识，从而表现了大自然是最好的老师。 【14题详解】 词义猜测。根据文章第二段“My husband Todd and I first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, as we needed these little doses of moonlight to stay happy, though sometimes we had to hike through the forest to find a perfect spot.But after we became parents, we did  this  for our children.(我和丈夫托德最初开始进行满月散步是为了我们自己，因为我们需要这样一点一滴的月光来保持快乐，尽管有时我们必须穿越森林去寻找一个完美的地方。但当了父母后，我们就为孩子们做这件事)”可推知，第二段中划线的“this”指的是在满月下散步。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Todd explained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon generates no light, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight back to us. “Does the moon’s face change?” Bryce asked.(Todd向Sierra和Bryce解释说，月亮不会发光，只是像一面镜子一样，把阳光反射回我们身边。Bryce问道：“月亮的脸会变吗？”)”及“Sierra remarked that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising.(Sierra说，当月亮升起时，它看起来更大、更近)”可知，孩子们在这次外出活动中表现出对月球的探索精神。故选C项。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world, available to all.(我们想让Sierra和Bryce明白，无需远离家乡就能体验冒险并学到新东西，而且自然界本身就蕴含着神奇之处，对所有人都触手可及)”可知，这对父母有比较深刻的见解，文章第三段““Does the moon’s face change?” Bryce asked. I told him that the moon rotates around the earth, but does not spin by itself, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth.(“月亮的脸会变吗？”Bryce问道。我告诉他，月球绕地球旋转，但不会自行旋转，所以月球的同一侧总是面向地球)”及“I explained that it is a visual illusion because it is so close to the horizon that the moon magically tricks our eyes into comparing it with nearby objects, thus creating the impression of the increased size.(我解释说，这是一种视觉错觉，因为它离地平线太近了，月亮神奇地欺骗我们的眼睛，让我们把它与附近的物体进行比较，从而给人留下尺寸增大的印象)”可知，孩子提出问题时，作者总是耐心回答，故这对父母是有深刻见解的，有耐心的。故选D项。 【17题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world, available to all.(我们想让Sierra和Bryce明白，无需远离家乡就能体验冒险并学到新东西，而且自然界本身就蕴含着神奇之处，对所有人都触手可及)”及文章最后一段“To educate, sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and gazing up at the heavens.(教育孩子时，有时候所需要的仅仅是走出户外，抬头仰望天空)”可知，作者想要表达“大自然是最好的老师”。故选C项。 C A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said. I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed. When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making. I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then. I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem. It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected to their culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition. 18. What did the writer become aware of? A. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds. B. She had various snacks while watching TV. C. She had ever typed a report about seeds. D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. 19. Why does the writer mention Chinese New Year? A. To prove that her habit of eating sunflower seeds is related to it. B. To prove different countries have different habits in regard to food. C. To prove the traditions of celebrating it are disappearing. D. To prove how happy the children were at that time. 20. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is ________. A. neutral B. critical C. acceptable D. doubtful 21. What lesson can we learn from the story? A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. B. Eating habits come from a certain culture. C. Changing your eating habits will change your life. D It is good to form healthy eating habits. 【答案】18. A 19. A 20. C 21. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过作者嗑瓜子的习惯让作者意识到一个人的饮食习惯可以反映出自身的文化背景。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds.(我从来没有注意到这个习惯，但他一提起，我就突然意识到了。我意识到，每当我看电视或打报告时，我总是开始无意识地嗑瓜子)”可知，作者意识到自己有嗑瓜子的习惯。故选A。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.(当我们小的时候，全家通常会聚在一起过春节。那时，我们都住得很近，通常住在一个小城市，有时甚至邻居也会在除夕夜挨家挨户地看看每家都在做什么)”以及第四段“I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.(那时候我一定学会了怎么嗑瓜子)”可知，作者提到中国新年是为了证明吃葵花籽和它有关。故选A。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I think it’s a wonderful tradition.(我认为这是一个很棒的传统)”可知，作者对丹麦吃面包的方式的态度是可接受的。故选C。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文特别是根据最后一段“When I went abroad, I found people had all kinds of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy , and it’s connected to their certain culture.(当我出国时，我发现人们在食物方面有各种奇怪的习惯。在丹麦，他们把咸鱼放在面包上当晚餐吃，不管它会多么破坏你的呼吸。他们认为这是一种美味，与他们的特定文化有关)”可知，文章告诉我们饮食习惯来自某种文化。故选B。 D As humanity has got richer, animal’s roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine (内燃机) made horses unneeded; modern sanitation (卫生设备) kept rats in check and made cats less useful. Domestic animals are no longer necessities, but commonly seen companions. Pet-keeping seems to become more and more popular, as a recent survey found that 69% of American households keep at least one pet. The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more money on them. No longer are they food-waste-recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters’ tables. Pet food shelves are full of cuisines tailored to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic, or suffer from sensitive digestion. In the business, this is called “pet humanization” — the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family. This is obvious in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex, and Spot to Bella, Lucy, and Max. People still hold the false assumption that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. New research suggests that dogs have evolved those “cute eyes” to affect human emotions and control them, which works very well. Humans now work very hard to pay for the care of their pets. For example, Americans often refer to themselves not as cat owners but as the cat’s “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one step further, describing themselves as cat “butlers (管家)”. Watch an unlucky man walking his dog, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and we have to doubt: who’s in charge now? Is this relationship what we really want? 22. What can we learn about the animal-keeping trend? A. People’s needs for animal services are increasing. B. The price for purchasing a domestic pet is on the rise. C. Pet foods are less various and customized than before. D. Both the pet number and the pet business are growing. 23. Which of the following is the evidence of “pet humanization”? A. Pets’ ability to make their owners less anxious. B. Human’s increasing investment in pet-keeping. C. Pet’s roles as both working staff and companions. D. The owners’ preference to give pets human names. 24. What is the author’s attitude towards the current human-pet relationship? A. Skeptical. B. Conservative. C. Unclear. D. Approving. 25. Which might be the best title of the passage? A. The Changing Roles of Pets B. The Growing Trend of Pet Business C. The Craze for Pet-keeping D. The Pros and Cons of Keeping Pets 【答案】22. D 23. D 24. A 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了宠物经济的崛起，随着人类社会的发展，动物在人类生活中扮演的角色也发生了变化，甚至开始在人们的生活中占有相当大的比例。文章也借此发出质疑，这是有必要的吗？ 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more money on them. (宠物生意比宠物数量增长得更快，因为人们在宠物身上花的钱越来越多。)”可知，宠物的数量增长的很快，但是宠物经济发展更迅速，说明二者都在迅速发展，故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This is obvious in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex, and Spot to Bella, Lucy, and Max. (这一点从人们给狗起的名字中就可以明显地看出来，它们的名字已经从菲多、雷克斯、点点演变成了贝拉、露西和马克斯。)”可知，狗的名字从动物化的名字转为人类的名字，说明人们开始把他们当作家人看待，也就是“宠物人文化”的证据，故选D项。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Is this relationship what we really want? (这样的关系是我们真正想要的吗？)”可知，文章认为人们为动物付出太多，甚至被宠物主导生活，这不是我们想要的那种生活方式，作者对这种人类和动物的关系持怀疑态度，故选A项。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Domestic animals are no longer necessities, but commonly seen companions. (家畜不再是必需品，而是常见的伙伴。)”可知，随着人类社会的进步，动物在人类生活中不再是为了生产而屯养的必需品，而是转变为了宠物和伙伴，这说明文章的关键词是“动物”和“角色转变”，A选项（宠物的角色转变）符合题意，故选A项。 第二节. 阅读七选五（每小题2. 5分，共12. 5分） Emotional Eating Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger. ___26___ Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot— especially without realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being. ___27___ One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they’re stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce. ___28___ Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. ___29___ It’s not easy to “unlearn” patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible. And it starts with an awareness of what’s going on. We’re all emotional caters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. ___30___ That’s why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger. Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it. A. Believe it or not, we’ve all been there. B. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort. C. One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards. D. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like. E. Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it. F. Boys seem to prefer hot, homemade comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate and ice cream. G. More often, though, it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food. 【答案】26. A 27. E 28. G 29. B 30.

Harry and David were informed of their task when it was nearly midnight. It was urgent so there was no time to hesitate. They headed into the forest. The forest was black and silent. A little way into it they reached a fork in the earth path. Harry and David took the left path. They walked in silence, their eyes on the ground, watching out for the traps like big pits（坑）set by the illegal hunters. Every now and then a ray of moonlight through the branches above lit a spot of scarlet（猩红的）blood on the fallen leaves. David saw that Harry looked very worried, asking, "Could Unicorn be hurt that badly?" Harry answered, "If we can't find it as soon as possible, it doesn't stand much chance to survive." Of course, Unicorn was not the animal in fairy tales but the nickname of a 3-year-old elephant, the last wild elephant in this forest. The nickname was given by the biodiversity rescuers who were protecting every member in this forest. They knew Unicorn was obedient and not afraid of human beings and that sometimes put it in danger. "Without it, the forest was not complete. Those illegal hunters should be thrown into prison." Harry thought, carrying his first aid kit（急救箱）on his back and walking forward with his flashlight. It seemed that thick fog would come at any time, which would increase the danger. Harry hurried into the heart of the forest with David. They walked for nearly half an hour, deeper and deeper. There were blood splashes（血迹）on the roots of a tree, as though the poor creature had been struggling around in pain close by. "We must hurry up", said Harry. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: However, it was really not easy for them to find it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Without delay, Harry knelt down to do first aid on its wound with David holding the flashlight. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: However, it was really not easy for them to find it. That’s because thick fog came, covering almost everything. They had to bend down to search for clues like blood splashes or footprints, which made them walk more slowly, ears sharper than usual. Suddenly, painful roars came to the rescuers and in front of them lay the young elephant. “Look! Unicorn!” Harry rushed forward, crying excitedly. It looked exhausted because a wound on its left front leg was bleeding badly. Without delay, Harry knelt down to do first aid on its wound with David holding the flashlight. Fortunately, everything needed was available in the first aid kit. Calmly and skillfully, Harry conducted an operation on Unicorn immediately, and it seemed more obedient than before. Therefore, it didn’t take much time for Harry to stop the bleeding as an experienced rescuer. And after a while, Unicorn was able to stand up and walked away. It was rescued! Waving goodbye to it, Harry and David felt relieved. At this moment, the whole forest woke up, the moonlight fading while winds singing welcome to the dawn. 【解析】 【分析】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了两个生物多样性救援人员哈利和大卫在半夜接到任务前去搜寻并营救森林里唯一的一头野生象的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，对他们来找到它真的并不容易”可知，第一段可描写搜寻大象的困难和看到大象受伤时的难过。 ②由第二段首句内容“哈利毫不迟疑地跪下来对它的伤口进行急救，大卫拿着手电筒。”可知，第二段可描写对受伤的大象进行治疗和大象感谢人类。 2.续写线索：起雾——艰难寻找——受伤——痛苦——急救——感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.覆盖：cover/blanket/envelope ②.线索：clue/sign/hint ③.冲：rush/dash 情绪类 ①.哭：cry/weep ②.宽慰的：relieved/comforted 【点睛】【高分句型1】They had to bend down to search for clues like blood splashes or footprints, which made them walk more slowly, ears sharper than usual.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】At this moment, the whole forest woke up, the moonlight fading while winds singing welcome to the dawn.（运用了while引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
