Do you spend it or save it? Do you get pocket money from your parents or do you work to earn money? Pocket money Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. They might have to do chores to get their pocket money, helping at home with tasks like cleaning, cooking, washing up, taking out the rubbish and ironing. Different families give different amounts and the average for eight-to-fifteen-year-old teenagers in the UK is about ￡6 (53 yuan) a week. A report found that many children save at least a quarter of their weekly pocket money and that more boys than girls save their money. Part-time work A part-time job is an option for teenagers who don’t have pocket money or who want to earn extra money. About 15 percent of teenagers have a job. Only children over 13 can work but there are some exceptions, for example, for actors. Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting, delivering newspapers, shop work and restaurant or café work. There are strict government laws about children working. They can work a maximum of two hours a day on a school day but not during school hours. At weekends and during school holidays, they can work longer hours. As for wages, the national minimum wage for under-18s is around ￡4 per hour and it increases every year. Its minimum wage is higher if you are older. Banks In Britain, some children and teenagers have a bank account. There is no legal (法定的) age limit at which you can open a bank account, but a bank manager can decide whether to allow a child or young person to open an account. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child’s bank account. So, many teenagers are getting experience of working part-time, dealing with banks and deciding whether to save or spend their money. These are all steps towards becoming a financially independent adult and earning and looking after your own money. 1. What do we know about the pocket money children in Britain receive? A. 8- to 15-year-olds get about £6 a month as their pocket money. B. Many children save over 25 percent of their pocket money. C. Girls prefer to save more pocket money than boys. D. Pocket money can only be earned at home. 2. What did we learn about children doing part-time jobs in Britain? A. Children working part-time should be above 15 years old. B. Children should work no more than two hours each day. C. Those under-18s can earn at least £4 per hour. D. Children are not allowed to work during school hours. 3.

B I grew up in a three-bedroom brick house in the Park Hill section of North Little Rock, Ark. It was a sweet, ordinary little home but reminded me of so much love. I’ve always felt I was raised by a beautiful fairy. My mom, Nellie, was soft-spoken and had an extraordinary smile. My father, Maurice, was a train conductor and his declining health was the most defining aspect of my childhood. When I was 8, the doctors told us that Dad had a severe heart condition and we needed to care for him. I developed magical thinking, which was vital to my later acting. I’d say to myself that if I did this and that, my daddy would live. After high school, I attended Hendrix College in Arkansas. When I was a freshman, they cast me in a school’s big play. At the end, one of the drama professors said, “You don’t really belong here. You belong in New York. They’d know what to do with you.” He gave me a list of schools. He pointed to the Neighborhood Playhouse and said it was small but Sandy Meisner, the man who ran it was great. I auditioned (试镜) and a month later, I was accepted. Mom and I started crying. After moving to New York, my big break came six years later, in 1977. I took a meeting about a movie called “Goin’ South,” with Jack Nicholson. After the audition, they said I wasn’t quite right. Back in reception, I wanted to apologize for being stubborn. Jack was standing there. He said, “Are you waiting to see me?” I told him I was but I didn’t have a script. He gave me one and told me I’d have 10 minutes with him the next day. I made it to a screen test in L. A. Later, I was in Jack’s office and asked if someone could approve my hotel expenses. Jack was smoking a cigar. He said, “Don’t worry about it, kid. You’ re on the payroll.” Today, my husband, actor Ted Danson, and I spend most of our time in Ojai, Calif. I also love the wildness of the mountains. I still own my childhood home in Arkansas. I haven’t been able to part with it. Emotionally, the love from our parents is still there. 4. What motivated the author to develop her ability to acting? A. Her family’s poor housing. B. Her father’s serious disease. C. Her mother’s gift for acting. D. Her confidence in learning subjects. 5. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Her mother refused her to become an actress. B. Her performance was common in high school. C. She was declined by manager Sandy Meisner. D. She was highly praised by the drama professor. 6. How did Jack feel to the author’s performance in the screen test? A. Indifferent. B. Critic. C. Impressive. D. Neutral. 7. Why does the author mention her childhood home in the last paragraph? A. To prove the excellent environment she lives. B. To stress the beautiful scenery of her hometown. C. To show her gratitude to her beloved parents. D. To attract more people to enjoy the mountains. C Facebook's recent admission that social media may be making its users feel bad in some cases is a significant milestone. So far, the technology industry hardly has talked about the disadvantages of their products. Academic research in a Facebook blog post in December documented that when people spend a lot of time passively consuming information, they feel worse. For example, clicking or liking too many links and posts can have a negative effect on mental health. Some researchers also believe that reading rosy stories about others leads to negative comparisons about one's life and that being online too much reduces in-person socializing. Social media may well be making many of us unhappy, jealous and anti-social. Although Facebook said that, as a result of the assessments, it would make some changes to its platform. It also emphasized some of the benefits of using the social network. It explained that “sharing messages, posts and comments with close friends and recalling about past interactions” can make people feel better. “The research and other academic literature suggest that it’s how you use social media that matters when it comes to your well-being,” Facebook said. But that approach doesn’t seem to be an effective solution for those who can’t remain aloof from such platforms. The Pew Research Center estimates that 24 percent of teens go online “almost constantly”. It is becoming a matter of addiction. We need to be aware of what we are up against. Remember when we would just pick up the phone and call someone rather than email them and create greater misunderstandings. This may be an old-fashioned choice, but the right one. And maybe we should just turn away from our screens sometimes and meet our friends and family in person. 8. Why is Facebook’s recognition considered as a milestone? A. Facebook has come to admit their products' negative effects. B. The recognition has drawn a wide public attention. C. The technology industry has made progress in mass production. D. The technology industry has never brought bad feelings to users. 9. What may cause Facebook’s users to feel bad according to the passage? A. Socializing in person. B. Reading others’ rosy stories. C. Liking your friends’ links and posts. D. Sharing messages with close friends. 10. What does the underlined word “aloof” in the third paragraph mean? A. involved B. indifferent C. disheartened D. devoted 11. Which can be the suitable title for the text? A. How to Use Social Media B. Acknowledgement from Facebook C. Off Screens Whether Change Or Not D. The importance of Social Media Detox D The fact that gender diversity is something that companies constantly desire highlights the problem in itself. Across industries, the workforce gender balance is still highly skewed (偏向……的), even in fields which do not traditionally involve laborious work. The tech industry is a case in point, with the workforce imbalance definitely being one of the most prominent on the list. Diversity and inclusion need to go hand in hand, and women around the world are increasingly assuming important positions and taking core decisions in the tech sector. These women are driving technological change and innovation which impact the industry at large. Gender diversity, like diversity in general, is important for varied perspectives and thought processes in a company. These perspectives are what help shape advancements and new ideas in technology and overall operations for the success of the business. This is especially true for technologies such as AI. According to a 2017 report on Higher Education by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, women were at or near parity (对等) among undergraduate degrees in science IT and computer. Most women equal men when it comes to skills, but face discrimination in other areas, thus creating a gap and reducing the will to continue at the company. According to reports, biased treatment within the workplace is the most frequently cited reason for leaving, followed by poor management. There is still scope for a shift in attitudes at workplaces, which is a major obstacle when it comes to preserving women employees. In order to retain this talent and hire more talent like this, governments, NGOs and leaders from tech organizations need to come together to help close the gender gap further by providing more flexible work options and decision-making opportunities for women. More and more women across the world are interested in looking for tech careers or maintaining their existing ones. There is a need to encourage them to take up roles in AI and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) with opportunities that are both fair and equal. Given the computer-driven nature of AI, there is a need for women from diverse backgrounds to balance out the conventionally male-dominated profession to give an accurate representation. 12. From the first paragraph we know that ________. A. gender balance problem remains to be solved B. laborious work demands more gender balance C. not all industries have gender balance problem D. gender balance problem has been more serious 13. Women employees are reported to leave their jobs mainly because of ________. A. unsatisfying income B. poor management C. competitive workplace D. unfair treatment 14. Which of the following can help to retain and attract more women? A. Encouraging women to take up all kinds of roles. B. Treating women employees more kindly than to men employees. C. Offering women diverse work choices and decision-making opportunities. D. Providing a tolerant working environment combined with favorable welfare. 15. What is the purpose of writing this passage? A. To appeal to women to protect their proper rights B. To present the fact of gender bias in the tech industry C. To call for more women representation in the tech industry D. To teach the tech industry how to get rid of gender bias 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks. ____16____ This lies at the heart of “experiential (由经验得来的) appreciation”, a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you.

The words the doctor said to Dana and Jeff completely shook them, “Your daughter was born with a cleft lip (唇裂).” It was impossible for the couple to hide their sadness. They couldn’t believe it was true until they saw their daughter in person. Seeing her cleft made Dana and Jeff heartbroken more than anything. It broke their heart to imagine the kind of life Melody would lead in the future. Fortunately, Dana and Jeff saw a ray of hope when the doctor told the couple that their daughter’s condition was treatable with a cleft lip surgery (外科手术). Rather than feeling stressful like the first few days, they promised themselves they never wanted their daughter to suffer from that. They would spare no effort to support Melody. Nothing is more precious than their little angel, and Dana as well as Jeff was ready to do anything for Melody. After bringing Melody home, they immediately began looking for cleft surgery options. However, no matter where they turned, getting Melody the surgery she needed was expensive, and the various treatments and medications she needed in the following would also be much more costly than the young family could afford. Then came the thrilling moment when Jeff browsed through a medical forum one evening, he stumbled upon (意外发现) a post about a nonprofit organization that specialized in cleft lip surgeries for children. The organization, named Smileatfuture, is dedicated to providing free surgeries to families who could not afford the procedure. The couple had seen a lot of photos and read a lot of stories about children who had cleft surgeries sponsored by Smileatfuture, and the results were incredible. The idea that Melody could grow up with hardly a scar (伤疤) where her cleft was lit a fire under the couple. Without any hesitation, Dana and her husband reached out to Smileatfuture and handed in an application for medical aid. 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。 Everything went more smoothly than Dana and Jeff had expected. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The big day for Melody’s surgery finally came. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语开学测试卷 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.

It was a sweet, ordinary little home but reminded me of so much love. I’ve always felt I was raised by a beautiful fairy. My mom, Nellie, was soft-spoken and had an extraordinary smile. My father, Maurice, was a train conductor and his declining health was the most defining aspect of my childhood. When I was 8, the doctors told us that Dad had a severe heart condition and we needed to care for him. I developed magical thinking, which was vital to my later acting. I’d say to myself that if I did this and that, my daddy would live. After high school, I attended Hendrix College in Arkansas. When I was a freshman, they cast me in a school’s big play. At the end, one of the drama professors said, “You don’t really belong here. You belong in New York. They’d know what to do with you.” He gave me a list of schools. He pointed to the Neighborhood Playhouse and said it was small but Sandy Meisner, the man who ran it was great. I auditioned (试镜) and a month later, I was accepted. Mom and I started crying. After moving to New York, my big break came six years later, in 1977. I took a meeting about a movie called “Goin’ South,” with Jack Nicholson. After the audition, they said I wasn’t quite right. Back in reception, I wanted to apologize for being stubborn. Jack was standing there. He said, “Are you waiting to see me?” I told him I was but I didn’t have a script. He gave me one and told me I’d have 10 minutes with him the next day. I made it to a screen test in L. A. Later, I was in Jack’s office and asked if someone could approve my hotel expenses. Jack was smoking a cigar. He said, “Don’t worry about it, kid. You’ re on the payroll.” Today, my husband, actor Ted Danson, and I spend most of our time in Ojai, Calif. I also love the wildness of the mountains. I still own my childhood home in Arkansas. I haven’t been able to part with it. Emotionally, the love from our parents is still there. 4. What motivated the author to develop her ability to acting? A. Her family’s poor housing. B. Her father’s serious disease. C. Her mother’s gift for acting. D. Her confidence in learning subjects. 5. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Her mother refused her to become an actress. B. Her performance was common in high school. C. She was declined by manager Sandy Meisner. D.

Why does the author mention her childhood home in the last paragraph? A. To prove the excellent environment she lives. B. To stress the beautiful scenery of her hometown. C. To show her gratitude to her beloved parents. D. To attract more people to enjoy the mountains. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者从小在阿肯色州长大，父亲的病痛影响了她的童年，她在高中时被老师鼓励去纽约发展，最后在纽约得到了机会，成为了一名演员的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When I was 8, the doctors told us that Dad had a severe heart condition and we needed to care for him. I developed magical thinking, which was vital to my later acting. I’d say to myself that if I did this and that, my daddy would live.”（当我8岁的时候，医生告诉我们爸爸有严重的心脏病，我们需要照顾他。我发展出了魔法般的思考，这对我后来的表演至关重要。我会对自己说，如果我做了这个和那个，我的爸爸就会活下来。）可知，是父亲的病痛激发了作者的表演能力。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“At the end, one of the drama professors said, “You don’t really belong here. You belong in New York. They’d know what to do with you.”（在最后，一位戏剧教授说，“你真的不属于这里。你属于纽约。他们会知道如何对待你。”）可知，戏剧教授认为作者的表演属于更大的舞台，因此，对作者的表演给予了高度的评价。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I made it to a screen test in L. A. Later, I was in Jack’s office and asked if someone could approve my hotel expenses. Jack was smoking a cigar. He said, “Don’t worry about it, kid.

So far, the technology industry hardly has talked about the disadvantages of their products. Academic research in a Facebook blog post in December documented that when people spend a lot of time passively consuming information, they feel worse. For example, clicking or liking too many links and posts can have a negative effect on mental health. Some researchers also believe that reading rosy stories about others leads to negative comparisons about one's life and that being online too much reduces in-person socializing. Social media may well be making many of us unhappy, jealous and anti-social. Although Facebook said that, as a result of the assessments, it would make some changes to its platform. It also emphasized some of the benefits of using the social network. It explained that “sharing messages, posts and comments with close friends and recalling about past interactions” can make people feel better. “The research and other academic literature suggest that it’s how you use social media that matters when it comes to your well-being,” Facebook said. But that approach doesn’t seem to be an effective solution for those who can’t remain aloof from such platforms. The Pew Research Center estimates that 24 percent of teens go online “almost constantly”. It is becoming a matter of addiction. We need to be aware of what we are up against. Remember when we would just pick up the phone and call someone rather than email them and create greater misunderstandings. This may be an old-fashioned choice, but the right one. And maybe we should just turn away from our screens sometimes and meet our friends and family in person. 8. Why is Facebook’s recognition considered as a milestone? A. Facebook has come to admit their products' negative effects. B. The recognition has drawn a wide public attention. C. The technology industry has made progress in mass production. D. The technology industry has never brought bad feelings to users. 9. What may cause Facebook’s users to feel bad according to the passage? A. Socializing in person. B. Reading others’ rosy stories. C. Liking your friends’ links and posts. D. Sharing messages with close friends. 10. What does the underlined word “aloof” in the third paragraph mean? A. involved B. indifferent C. disheartened D. devoted 11. Which can be the suitable title for the text? A. How to Use Social Media B. Acknowledgement from Facebook C. Off Screens Whether Change Or Not D. The importance of Social Media Detox 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讨论了社交媒体对用户心理健康的负面影响以及Facebook对此问题的认识。文章指出，过度使用社交媒体可能导致用户感到不快乐、嫉妒和反社会，而Facebook承认这一点被视为一个重要的里程碑。文章还提到了一些研究，表明被动消费信息、阅读他人的美好故事以及过度在线社交都可能对心理健康产生负面影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Facebook's recent admission that social media may be making its users feel bad in some cases is a significant milestone.( Facebook最近承认社交媒体可能在某些情况下让用户感觉不好，这是一个重要的里程碑)”可知，Facebook最近承认社交媒体可能在某些情况下让用户感觉不好，这是一个重要的里程碑。因此，Facebook承认其产品的负面影响被视为一个里程碑，故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Some researchers also believe that reading rosy stories about others leads to negative comparisons about one's life and that being online too much reduces in-person socializing.(一些研究者也认为，阅读关于他人的乐观故事会导致对自己生活的负面比较，而过度上网会减少面对面的社交活动)”可知，阅读他人的美好故事可能导致Facebook的用户感觉不好，故选B。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“But that approach doesn’t seem to be an effective solution for those who can’t remain... from such platforms(但这种方法似乎并不是一个有效的解决方案，对于那些无法对这些平台保持……的人来说)”可知，对于那些无法远离这些平台的人来说，这种方法似乎不是一个有效的解决方案。因此，“aloof”在这里意味着“冷漠的，不关心的”，故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Facebook's recent admission that social media may be making its users feel bad in some cases is a significant milestone.( Facebook最近承认社交媒体可能在某些情况下让用户感觉不好，这是一个重要的里程碑)”、第二段“Some researchers also believe that reading rosy stories about others leads to negative comparisons about one's life and that being online too much reduces in-person socializing.(一些研究者也认为，阅读关于他人的乐观故事会导致对自己生活的负面比较，而过度上网会减少面对面的社交活动)”以及最后一段“We need to be aware of what we are up against. Remember when we would just pick up the phone and call someone rather than email them and create greater misunderstandings. This may be an old-fashioned choice, but the right one. And maybe we should just turn away from our screens sometimes and meet our friends and family in person.( 我们需要意识到我们所面临的挑战。还记得以前我们会直接拿起电话给别人打电话，而不是发电子邮件从而造成更大的误解吗？这可能是一种老式的做法，但却是正确的选择。也许我们应该时不时地远离屏幕，亲自去和我们的朋友和家人见面)”可知，文章讨论了社交媒体对用户心理健康的负面影响以及Facebook对此问题的认识，并提出了一些可能的解决方案，如减少屏幕时间，增加面对面社交。因此，文章的主题是关于是否改变远离屏幕的生活方式，选项C“Off Screens Whether Change Or Not”符合题意。故选C。 D The fact that gender diversity is something that companies constantly desire highlights the problem in itself. Across industries, the workforce gender balance is still highly skewed (偏向……的), even in fields which do not traditionally involve laborious work. The tech industry is a case in point, with the workforce imbalance definitely being one of the most prominent on the list. Diversity and inclusion need to go hand in hand, and women around the world are increasingly assuming important positions and taking core decisions in the tech sector. These women are driving technological change and innovation which impact the industry at large. Gender diversity, like diversity in general, is important for varied perspectives and thought processes in a company. These perspectives are what help shape advancements and new ideas in technology and overall operations for the success of the business. This is especially true for technologies such as AI. According to a 2017 report on Higher Education by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, women were at or near parity (对等) among undergraduate degrees in science IT and computer. Most women equal men when it comes to skills, but face discrimination in other areas, thus creating a gap and reducing the will to continue at the company. According to reports, biased treatment within the workplace is the most frequently cited reason for leaving, followed by poor management. There is still scope for a shift in attitudes at workplaces, which is a major obstacle when it comes to preserving women employees. In order to retain this talent and hire more talent like this, governments, NGOs and leaders from tech organizations need to come together to help close the gender gap further by providing more flexible work options and decision-making opportunities for women. More and more women across the world are interested in looking for tech careers or maintaining their existing ones. There is a need to encourage them to take up roles in AI and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) with opportunities that are both fair and equal. Given the computer-driven nature of AI, there is a need for women from diverse backgrounds to balance out the conventionally male-dominated profession to give an accurate representation. 12. From the first paragraph we know that ________. A. gender balance problem remains to be solved B. laborious work demands more gender balance C. not all industries have gender balance problem D. gender balance problem has been more serious 13. Women employees are reported to leave their jobs mainly because of ________. A. unsatisfying income B. poor management C. competitive workplace D. unfair treatment 14. Which of the following can help to retain and attract more women? A. Encouraging women to take up all kinds of roles. B. Treating women employees more kindly than to men employees. C. Offering women diverse work choices and decision-making opportunities. D. Providing a tolerant working environment combined with favorable welfare. 15. What is the purpose of writing this passage? A. To appeal to women to protect their proper rights B. To present the fact of gender bias in the tech industry C. To call for more women representation in the tech industry D. To teach the tech industry how to get rid of gender bias 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讨论了科技行业中性别多样性的问题。文章指出，尽管性别多样性是公司不断追求的目标，但在科技行业中，劳动力性别平衡仍然严重倾斜。文章强调了性别多样性对于公司发展的重要性，并提出了保留和吸引更多女性员工的方法，包括提供灵活的工作选择和决策机会。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The fact that gender diversity is something that companies constantly desire highlights the problem in itself. Across industries, the workforce gender balance is still highly skewed (偏向……的), even in fields which do not traditionally involve laborious work.( 事实上，公司不断追求性别多样性本身就凸显了问题所在。在各个行业中，劳动力的性别平衡仍然严重偏向一侧，即使在那些传统上不涉及繁重劳动的领域也是如此)”可知，性别多样性是公司不断追求的目标，但劳动力性别平衡仍然严重倾斜，即使在传统上不涉及繁重工作的领域也是如此。因此，性别平衡问题仍然存在待解决，故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“According to reports, biased treatment within the workplace is the most frequently cited reason for leaving, followed by poor management.( 根据报告，工作场所中的偏见待遇是离职的最常见原因，其次是管理不善)”可知，据报道，工作场所内的偏见待遇是离职的最常见原因，其次是管理不善。因此，女性员工离职主要是因为不公平待遇，故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“In order to retain this talent and hire more talent like this, governments, NGOs and leaders from tech organizations need to come together to help close the gender gap further by providing more flexible work options and decision-making opportunities for women.( 为了留住这样的人才，并吸引更多类似的人才，政府、非政府组织以及科技组织的领导者需要共同努力，通过为女性提供更多灵活的工作选择和决策机会，进一步缩小性别差距)”可知，为了保留这些人才并雇佣更多这样的人才，政府、非政府组织和科技组织的领导者需要共同努力，通过为女性提供更多的灵活工作选择和决策机会，进一步缩小性别差距。因此，提供多样化的职业选择和决策机会可以帮助保留和吸引更多的女性，故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The fact that gender diversity is something that companies constantly desire highlights the problem in itself. Across industries, the workforce gender balance is still highly skewed (偏向……的), even in fields which do not traditionally involve laborious work.( 事实上，公司不断追求性别多样性本身就凸显了问题所在。在各个行业中，劳动力的性别平衡仍然严重偏向一侧，即使在那些传统上不涉及繁重劳动的领域也是如此)”、第五段“According to reports, biased treatment within the workplace is the most frequently cited reason for leaving, followed by poor management.( 根据报告，工作场所中的偏见待遇是离职的最常见原因，其次是管理不善)”以及最后一段“More and more women across the world are interested in looking for tech careers or maintaining their existing ones.

When you’re in nature, don’t just look around. ____18____ Touching the leaves, feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable. ____19____ After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel. Write in a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world. Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. ____20____ So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await.

In my opinion, a robot is more suitable for the position of librarian. As for the range of service, a librarian needs not only to classify books, but also put and find them in the right order on the right shelf, while being a waiter involves serving the right dishes to the right table, doing some cleaning and so on. A robot can accomplish three or four librarians’ work of sorting and labeling books at the same time. In terms of working efficiency, a robot may be more efficient in doing the programmed mechanical and repetitive kind of work. As a result, it is more advisable for the robot to undertake the duties of a librarian grouping countless books repeatedly. In a word, it is the mechanical work of a librarian that the robot is more competent at. Hopefully, my advice will be helpful to your decision.

The words the doctor said to Dana and Jeff completely shook them, “Your daughter was born with a cleft lip (唇裂).” It was impossible for the couple to hide their sadness. They couldn’t believe it was true until they saw their daughter in person. Seeing her cleft made Dana and Jeff heartbroken more than anything. It broke their heart to imagine the kind of life Melody would lead in the future. Fortunately, Dana and Jeff saw a ray of hope when the doctor told the couple that their daughter’s condition was treatable with a cleft lip surgery (外科手术). Rather than feeling stressful like the first few days, they promised themselves they never wanted their daughter to suffer from that. They would spare no effort to support Melody. Nothing is more precious than their little angel, and Dana as well as Jeff was ready to do anything for Melody. After bringing Melody home, they immediately began looking for cleft surgery options. However, no matter where they turned, getting Melody the surgery she needed was expensive, and the various treatments and medications she needed in the following would also be much more costly than the young family could afford. Then came the thrilling moment when Jeff browsed through a medical forum one evening, he stumbled upon (意外发现) a post about a nonprofit organization that specialized in cleft lip surgeries for children. The organization, named Smileatfuture, is dedicated to providing free surgeries to families who could not afford the procedure. The couple had seen a lot of photos and read a lot of stories about children who had cleft surgeries sponsored by Smileatfuture, and the results were incredible. The idea that Melody could grow up with hardly a scar (伤疤) where her cleft was lit a fire under the couple. Without any hesitation, Dana and her husband reached out to Smileatfuture and handed in an application for medical aid. 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。 Everything went more smoothly than Dana and Jeff had expected. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The big day for Melody’s surgery finally came. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Everything went more smoothly than Dana and Jeff had expected. Within one week, they were overjoyed to learn that their application had been approved and that Melody was qualified for the program. Then they made an instant appointment with Smileatfuture. The moment the couple walked into Smileatfuture, they were greeted with warm smiles and a sense of community. Smileatfuture’s team was incredibly supportive, guiding them on everything they needed to do to prepare Melody for her surgery. Knowing that their daughter’s future was in capable hands, they left with a newfound sense of optimism that day. The big day for Melody’s surgery finally came. All the tests beforehand showed that Melody was in perfect condition for the surgery. The couple’s hearts were overflowing with a mix of anxiety and hope. After what seemed a century’s waiting, they finally had good news that the surgery was a success. Imagining that their girl was on track for a life of joy, loving to run around and play with other kids in the future, Dana and Jeff felt more than relieved and grateful. The couple owed all these to the kindness they received. They also made a promise to pay it forward by helping others in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小女孩Melody出生时患有唇裂，给她的父母Dana和Jeff带来了巨大的心理压力和悲伤。然而，当医生告诉他们可以通过手术治疗时，他们看到了希望，并决心全力支持Melody。尽管手术费用昂贵，他们依然积极寻找解决方案。最终，Jeff偶然发现了一个名为Smileatfuture的非营利组织，该组织专门为儿童提供免费的唇裂手术。在看到该组织成功案例后，Dana和Jeff毫不犹豫地联系了Smileatfuture，提交了医疗援助申请。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一切都比Dana和Jeff预期的顺利”可知，第一段可描写Dana和Jeff两人的申请被批准，Melody可以参加该医疗项目，以及该组织为Melody提供各种支持，指导两人为手术做相关准备。 ②由第二段首句内容“Melody手术的大日子终于来了”可知，第二段可描写Dana和Jeff两人焦急地等待Melody的手术结果，Melody的手术最终成功了，以及两人感到欣慰和感激，决心传递自己接受到的善意，也帮助其他人。 2. 续写线索：一切都很顺利——申请获批——组织提供支持——手术日来临——手术成功——两人充满感激，决定传递善意 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①得知：know/learn ②走进：walk into/step into ③表明：show/indicate/demonstrate ④想象：imagine/picture/visualize 情绪类 ①非常高兴的：overjoyed/pleased/happy ②焦虑：anxiety/concern/worry ③感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] The moment the couple walked into Smileatfuture, they were greeted with warm smiles and a sense of community.
