B Among every generation, there are always youths ready to bear heavy burden of responsibility and devoted to their community. Lee Hui Ling is one of them. Lee Hui Ling was exposed to environmental and social issues at a young age. Born into a family of artists, her mother had a strong environmental conscience, which she had expressed through her art and passed on to her daughter. After graduating from the Sarah Lawrence College in New York and moving back to Malaysia, Hui Ling’s concerns for the environment grew, particularly after the Fukushima nuclear crisis in 2011, her mother’s hometown. Hui Ling responded by setting up a Greenpeace Malaysia online community on various social media platforms. A committed volunteer and a natural leader, Hui Ling was involved from the very beginning. She helped to organize and lead at meet-ups in cafes and community halls, as well as run workshops, and training. Taking direct action, she has participated in various campaigns like Break Free from Plastic. “Environmental activism has taught me that doing good is not a sprint, but a marathon, and we need to develop the endurance to make it through the difficult times,” she said. “I think activism has been normalized, and with that kind of normalization, it brings a level of safety. It becomes a very effective way to speak about social issues and affect change.” An artist and educator, Hui Ling organized participatory art projects in line with Greenpeace Malaysia campaigns on deforestation, and plastic pollution. One of them was the Wings of Paradise project, where she led a team of 30 youth volunteers in creating a 64-meter-long mural as part of a global street art campaign against deforestation in Papua. “There is a climate emergency,” said Hui Ling. “However, there is a beacon of hope in the youth activism of the last few years. The youths of today are well organized, and passionate in expressing their desire for positive change and a green and sustainable future for all.” 4. What can we know about Lee HuiLing’s mother? A. She was a successful artist. B. She self-taught her daughter. C. Her family cared about the environment. D. Her hometown was ruined by a nuclear disaster. 5. Which best describes Lee Hui Ling? A. Stubborn. B. Patient. C. Influential. D. Aggressive. 6. What does the underlined phrase “a sprint” in paragraph 5 mean? A. A momentary effort. B. A real dilemma. C. A tough decision. D. A fierce competition. 7. What might be the purpose of Wings of Paradise project? A. To create unique mural. B. To help protect forests in Papua. C To fight against plastic pollution. D. To honor young artists across the globe. C A team decided to perform an experiment inspired by their collective passion for Kung-fu. The group was made up of Michael Feld, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, undergraduates Ronald McNair and Stephen Wilk. They wanted to know: How can a bare hand break a solid block of wood or concrete without injury? What’s the trick? Feld McNair, and Wilk placed wood and concrete in a machine to determine the amount of stress needed to break the underside of the objects. A wood block can bend by about one centimetre before it breaks, which requires a force of 500 newtons. Concrete blocks only need to be bent one millimeter before breaking, but since the material is hardly bendable, that displacement requires 2,500 to 3,000 newtons. And because some energy is lost upon collision (碰撞), the fist needs to apply even more force than that in order to actually break the blocks. Thankfully, the human hand is capable of generating a very high degree of force in a very short time. The team discovered that within this brief time, “the hand of the Kung-fu master can apply a force of more than 3,000 newtons.” The team’s model indicates that the hand must reach a speed of 6.1 meters per second to break wood and 10.6 meters per second to break concrete. They write, “the former speed is within range of the beginner, but the latter one calls for training.” The obvious follow-up question: “How is it that the hand of the Kung-fu master is not hurt by the force of the strike?” Here, it’s science to the rescue: Human bone is five times firmer than concrete and fifty times harder to break. Of course, it’s technique, not strength, that provides the real power. “The precision to hit the center of the board makes kung-fu not only an excellent physical discipline but also a mental one.” 8. What is the motivation of the team’s experiment? A. To explore the mechanics of barehanded strikes. B. To assess durability of different materials. C To demonstrate their passion for Kung-fu. D. To manage the trick of breaking concrete. 9. What can be inferred about barehanded breaking? A. Bendability is a contributing factor. B. Kung-fu masters can break all objects. C. Concrete bends more before breaking. D. More energy is lost when breaking concrete. 10. What do Kung-fu beginners need to successfully break concrete without injury? A. A hand speed of 6.1 meters per second. B. Excellent academic discipline. C. A large amount of practice. D. The precise measurements. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly talking about concerning the strike? A. Its follow-up experiments. B. Its influence on human bones. C. The trick of avoiding bone injury. D. Ways to improve its effectiveness. D In 1837, Darwin sketched a “tree of life” in his notebook, 12 years before the publication of his Origin of Species. Since then, the tree has been routinely used by biologists to explain how new species emerge from a common ancestor. But some scientists believe that new species can also arise from two parental species combining their genomes (基因组). Now there is proof. Today, scientists report in the journal Nature that the Amazonian butterfly species Heliconius elevatus arose from the combining of two others. By comparing the genetic blueprints of other butterfly species, researchers led by Harvard University research associate Neil Rosser, demonstrated that the H. elevatus genome is a mixture of 1 percent of the species H. melpomene and 99 percent of H. pardalinus. Two decades ago, Mallet realized that all the close relatives of H. elevatus wore a pattern called “tiger mimicry ring.” H. elevatus, on the other hand, wore a “nailhead ray” outfit that was only shared by H. melpomene, a distant relative. It was as if H. elevatus showed up at the family reunion with an outfit borrowed from a stranger. This was a smoking gun that H. elevatus was a hybrid (杂交的) species, but Mallet had to wait for two decades for genomic data to confirm his suspicion. While Mallet and colleagues gathered genomic sequences of Heliconius butterflies, Rosser set up butterfly cages to observe H. elevatus behavior. The combined effort of Mallet’s genomic sequencing and Rosser’s behavioral studies led to the discovery of key regions in the H. elevatus genome associated with color pattern, host plant preference, and mating preference. To Rosser and Mallet’s surprise, all of these crucial genes came from H. melpomene. Although only 1 percent of the H. elevatus genome comes from H. melpomene, these are spread across the H. elevatus genome in 44 independent “genetic islands,” and control characteristics crucial to species identity. Both Mallet and Rosser think there are many more hybrid butterfly species out there. To find these hybrid species, people need to start gathering genomic data for all butterflies. 12. What implication does the discovery of H. elevates have? A. It discredits a theory. B. It explains a phenomenon. C. It justifies an assumption. D. It corrects a misconception. 13. Which is hard evidence indicating H. elevatus is a hybrid? A. Its body size. B. Its behaviors. C. Its color pattern. D. Its mating preference. 14 What did Mallet and Rosser do about H. elevatus in the two decades? A. They preserved its key habitats. B. They disclosed its real identity. C. They changed its genetic mechanism. D. They improved its unique appearance. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Hybrid Butterflies Found B. Darwin’s Theory Overturned C. Genetic Map of New Species Completed D. Breakthrough Made in Butterflies’ Preservation 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you’ve ever been on a long-haul (长途的) flight, you’ll know that it can be challenging to keep yourself rested and occupied for that many hours, especially if you’re not flying first-class. ____16____.

We had both been nominated (提名) for the Youth Excellence Program, an honor and a chance almost every student was crazy about. That weekend, Alex and I sat in my living room, carefully completing the program application. We each aimed to show we had all qualities the program valued: academic excellence, leadership, community service, integrity, and civic responsibility. I detailed my devotion to challenging courses, while Alex described his volunteer work at the local food bank. We left no stone unturned, fully confident in our joint success. The following day, we submitted our applications to the teacher hopefully. Weeks passed. Then one day, I received a letter about the project. I rushed out of the classroom and opened it. I felt a stab of sadness right in my heart: my name was not on the list. At that very moment, I saw Alex came jogging over, waving his letter with a beaming smile. It was clear he had news that contrasted with my own. Without hesitation, I turned away to avoid him. I knew he was eager to share his joy. Perhaps, he even had planned to celebrate the good news together with me. But I just couldn’t face it: they picked him but refused me. How could fate be so unjust? Anger and despair just blinded me. That afternoon, on the school bus, I sat alone and avoided eye contact with Alex. When the bus arrived at my street, I just jumped off, without saying goodbye or smiling to him. I hurried home, thrusting (塞) the letter into my mom’s hands. I buried my face in the cushions, sobbing uncontrollably as waves of heartache swept over me. 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。 From that day on, I didn’t talk to Alex. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, Mom talked with me, saying Alex wasn’t the one to blame. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-20 CCBAA BCBCB BACAB ACACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年高三9月起点考试 高三英语试卷 考试时间：2024年9月4日上午8:00-10:00 试卷满分：150分 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Lee Hui Ling is one of them. Lee Hui Ling was exposed to environmental and social issues at a young age. Born into a family of artists, her mother had a strong environmental conscience, which she had expressed through her art and passed on to her daughter. After graduating from the Sarah Lawrence College in New York and moving back to Malaysia, Hui Ling’s concerns for the environment grew, particularly after the Fukushima nuclear crisis in 2011, her mother’s hometown. Hui Ling responded by setting up a Greenpeace Malaysia online community on various social media platforms. A committed volunteer and a natural leader, Hui Ling was involved from the very beginning. She helped to organize and lead at meet-ups in cafes and community halls, as well as run workshops, and training. Taking direct action, she has participated in various campaigns like Break Free from Plastic. “Environmental activism has taught me that doing good is not a sprint, but a marathon, and we need to develop the endurance to make it through the difficult times,” she said. “I think activism has been normalized, and with that kind of normalization, it brings a level of safety. It becomes a very effective way to speak about social issues and affect change.” An artist and educator, Hui Ling organized participatory art projects in line with Greenpeace Malaysia campaigns on deforestation, and plastic pollution. One of them was the Wings of Paradise project, where she led a team of 30 youth volunteers in creating a 64-meter-long mural as part of a global street art campaign against deforestation in Papua. “There is a climate emergency,” said Hui Ling. “However, there is a beacon of hope in the youth activism of the last few years. The youths of today are well organized, and passionate in expressing their desire for positive change and a green and sustainable future for all.” 4. What can we know about Lee HuiLing’s mother? A.

The group was made up of Michael Feld, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, undergraduates Ronald McNair and Stephen Wilk. They wanted to know: How can a bare hand break a solid block of wood or concrete without injury? What’s the trick? Feld, McNair, and Wilk placed wood and concrete in a machine to determine the amount of stress needed to break the underside of the objects. A wood block can bend by about one centimetre before it breaks, which requires a force of 500 newtons. Concrete blocks only need to be bent one millimeter before breaking, but since the material is hardly bendable, that displacement requires 2,500 to 3,000 newtons. And because some energy is lost upon collision (碰撞), the fist needs to apply even more force than that in order to actually break the blocks. Thankfully, the human hand is capable of generating a very high degree of force in a very short time. The team discovered that within this brief time, “the hand of the Kung-fu master can apply a force of more than 3,000 newtons.” The team’s model indicates that the hand must reach a speed of 6.1 meters per second to break wood and 10.6 meters per second to break concrete. They write, “the former speed is within range of the beginner, but the latter one calls for training.” The obvious follow-up question: “How is it that the hand of the Kung-fu master is not hurt by the force of the strike?” Here, it’s science to the rescue: Human bone is five times firmer than concrete and fifty times harder to break. Of course, it’s technique, not strength, that provides the real power. “The precision to hit the center of the board makes kung-fu not only an excellent physical discipline but also a mental one.” 8. What is the motivation of the team’s experiment? A. To explore the mechanics of barehanded strikes. B. To assess durability of different materials. C. To demonstrate their passion for Kung-fu. D. To manage the trick of breaking concrete. 9. What can be inferred about barehanded breaking? A. Bendability is a contributing factor. B. Kung-fu masters can break all objects. C. Concrete bends more before breaking. D. More energy is lost when breaking concrete. 10. What do Kung-fu beginners need to successfully break concrete without injury? A. A hand speed of 6.1 meters per second. B. Excellent academic discipline. C. A large amount of practice. D. The precise measurements. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly talking about concerning the strike? A. Its follow-up experiments. B. Its influence on human bones. C. The trick of avoiding bone injury. D. Ways to improve its effectiveness. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一支团队为了探究空手劈断木块或混凝土块的现象，进行了科学实验，分析了这种现象背后的科学原理，并解释了为什么功夫大师的手不会因用力劈块而受伤。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“They wanted to know: How can a bare hand break a solid block of wood or concrete without injury? What’s the trick? (他们想知道:徒手如何能打碎一块实心的木头或混凝土而不受伤?诀窍是什么?)”可知，他们的实验目的是探究这一现象背后的力学原理，故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“A wood block can bend by about one centimetre before it breaks, which requires a force of 500 newtons. Concrete blocks only need to be bent one millimeter before breaking, but since the material is hardly bendable, that displacement requires 2,500 to 3,000 newtons.(一块木块在断裂之前可以弯曲约1厘米，这需要500牛顿的力。混凝土块只需要弯曲1毫米就会断裂，但由于这种材料很难弯曲，因此力学位移需要2500到3000牛顿。)”可知，不同材料的可弯曲性会影响所需的力，故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The team’s model indicates that the hand must reach a speed of 6.1 meters per second to break wood and 10.6 meters per second to break concrete. They writethe former speed is within range of the beginner, the latter one calls for training(该团队的模型表明，手必须达到每秒6.1米的速度才能折断木头，10.6米的速度才能折断混凝土。他们写到：前者的速度在初学者的能力范围内，后者需要训练)”可知，功夫初学者要成功劈断混凝土而不受伤，需要大量的练习。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Here, it’s science to the rescue: Human bone is five times firmer than concrete and fifty times harder to break. Of course, it’s technique, not strength, that provides the real power. “The precision to hit the center of the board makes kung-fu not only an excellent physical discipline but also a mental one.”(现在，科学来解释:人骨硬度是混凝土的5倍，而断裂的难度是混凝土的50倍。当然，提供真正力量的是技术，而不是力量。“精准击中板的中心使功夫不仅是一项优秀的身体训练，也是一项精神训练。”)”可知，文章主要讲述了功夫大师如何在不伤手的情况下劈断混凝土块的科学的诀窍。故选C。 D In 1837, Darwin sketched a “tree of life” in his notebook, 12 years before the publication of his Origin of Species. Since then, the tree has been routinely used by biologists to explain how new species emerge from a common ancestor. But some scientists believe that new species can also arise from two parental species combining their genomes (基因组). Now there is proof. Today, scientists report in the journal Nature that the Amazonian butterfly species Heliconius elevatus arose from the combining of two others. By comparing the genetic blueprints of other butterfly species, researchers led by Harvard University research associate Neil Rosser, demonstrated that the H. elevatus genome is a mixture of 1 percent of the species H. melpomene and 99 percent of H. pardalinus. Two decades ago, Mallet realized that all the close relatives of H. elevatus wore a pattern called “tiger mimicry ring.” H. elevatus, on the other hand, wore a “nailhead ray” outfit that was only shared by H. melpomene, a distant relative. It was as if H. elevatus showed up at the family reunion with an outfit borrowed from a stranger. This was a smoking gun that H. elevatus was a hybrid (杂交的) species, but Mallet had to wait for two decades for genomic data to confirm his suspicion. While Mallet and colleagues gathered genomic sequences of Heliconius butterflies, Rosser set up butterfly cages to observe H. elevatus behavior. The combined effort of Mallet’s genomic sequencing and Rosser’s behavioral studies led to the discovery of key regions in the H. elevatus genome associated with color pattern, host plant preference, and mating preference. To Rosser and Mallet’s surprise, all of these crucial genes came from H. melpomene. Although only 1 percent of the H. elevatus genome comes from H. melpomene, these are spread across the H. elevatus genome in 44 independent “genetic islands,” and control characteristics crucial to species identity. Both Mallet and Rosser think there are many more hybrid butterfly species out there. To find these hybrid species, people need to start gathering genomic data for all butterflies. 12. What implication does the discovery of H. elevates have? A. It discredits a theory. B. It explains a phenomenon. C. It justifies an assumption. D. It corrects a misconception. 13. Which is hard evidence indicating H. elevatus is a hybrid? A. Its body size. B. Its behaviors. C. Its color pattern. D. Its mating preference. 14. What did Mallet and Rosser do about H. elevatus in the two decades? A. They preserved its key habitats. B. They disclosed its real identity. C. They changed its genetic mechanism. D. They improved its unique appearance. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Hybrid Butterflies Found B. Darwin’s Theory Overturned C. Genetic Map of New Species Completed D. Breakthrough Made in Butterflies’ Preservation 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇调查研究。文章主要介绍了科学家发现了一种杂交的蝴蝶，证明了一种新的进化方式是存在的。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But some scientists believe that new species can also arise from two parental species combining their genomes (基因组).(但一些科学家认为，新物种也可以由两个亲本物种结合它们的基因组而产生)”，第二段“Now there is proof.(现在有了证据)”以及第三段“Today, scientists report in the journal Nature that the Amazonian butterfly species Heliconius elevatus arose from the combining of two others. By comparing the genetic blueprints of other butterfly species, researchers led by Harvard University research associate Neil Rosser, demonstrated that the H. elevatus genome is a mixture of 1 percent of the species H. melpomene and 99 percent of H. pardalinus.(今天，科学家们在《自然》杂志上报告说，亚马逊蝴蝶物种Heliconius elevatus是由另外两种蝴蝶结合而成的。通过比较其他种类蝴蝶的基因蓝图，由哈佛大学研究助理Neil Rosser领导的研究人员证明，H. elevatus的基因组是1%的H. melpomene和99%的H. pardalinus的混合物)”可知，H. elevates的发现意味着一个假设是正确的。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Two decades ago, Mallet realized that all the close relatives of H. elevatus wore a pattern called “tiger mimicry ring.” H. elevatus, on the other hand, wore a “nailhead ray” outfit that was only shared by H. melpomene, a distant relative. It was as if H. elevatus showed up at the family reunion with an outfit borrowed from a stranger. This was a smoking gun that H. elevatus was a hybrid (杂交的) species, but Mallet had to wait for two decades for genomic data to confirm his suspicion.(二十年前，马莱特意识到H. elevatus的所有近亲都带有一种名为“虎拟态环”的图案。另一方面，H. elevatus则穿着一种“钉头射线”的外衣，这种外衣只被远亲H. melpomene所共有。就好像H. elevatus在家庭聚会上穿着从陌生人那里借来的衣服一样。这是一个确凿的证据，表明H. elevatus是一个杂交物种，但马莱特不得不等待二十年的基因组数据来证实他的怀疑)”可知，H. elevatus的颜色图案是它一个杂交物种的确凿证据。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The combined effort of Mallet’s genomic sequencing and Rosser’s behavioral studies led to the discovery of key regions in the H. elevatus genome associated with color pattern, host plant preference, and mating preference. To Rosser and Mallet’s surprise, all of these crucial genes came from H. melpomene.(Mallet的基因组测序和Rosser的行为研究的共同努力，导致在H. elevatus基因组中发现了与颜色模式、寄主植物偏好和交配偏好相关的关键区域。令Rosser和Mallet惊讶的是，所有这些关键基因都来自H. melpomene)”可知，Mallet和Rosser在这二十年间揭示了H. elevatus的真实身份。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Today, scientists report in the journal Nature that the Amazonian butterfly species Heliconius elevatus arose from the combining of two others.(今天，科学家们在《自然》杂志上报告说，亚马逊蝴蝶物种Heliconius elevatus是由另外两种蝴蝶结合而成的)”以及最后一段“Both Mallet and Rosser think there are many more hybrid butterfly species out there. To find these hybrid species, people need to start gathering genomic data for all butterflies.(Mallet和Rosser都认为还有更多的杂交蝴蝶物种。为了找到这些杂交物种，人们需要开始收集所有蝴蝶的基因组数据)”可知，本文主要讲述科学家发现了一种杂交的蝴蝶，证明了一种新的进化方式是存在的，所以A项“Hybrid Butterflies Found(发现杂交蝴蝶)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you’ve ever been on a long-haul (长途的) flight, you’ll know that it can be challenging to keep yourself rested and occupied for that many hours, especially if you’re not flying first-class. ____16____.

We had both been nominated (提名) for the Youth Excellence Program, an honor and a chance almost every student was crazy about. That weekend, Alex and I sat in my living room, carefully completing the program application. We each aimed to show we had all qualities the program valued: academic excellence, leadership, community service, integrity, and civic responsibility. I detailed my devotion to challenging courses, while Alex described his volunteer work at the local food bank. We left no stone unturned, fully confident in our joint success. The following day, we submitted our applications to the teacher hopefully. Weeks passed. Then one day, I received a letter about the project. I rushed out of the classroom and opened it. I felt a stab of sadness right in my heart: my name was not on the list. At that very moment, I saw Alex came jogging over, waving his letter with a beaming smile. It was clear he had news that contrasted with my own. Without hesitation, I turned away to avoid him. I knew he was eager to share his joy. Perhaps, he even had planned to celebrate the good news together with me. But I just couldn’t face it: they picked him but refused me. How could fate be so unjust? Anger and despair just blinded me. That afternoon, on the school bus, I sat alone and avoided eye contact with Alex. When the bus arrived at my street, I just jumped off, without saying goodbye or smiling to him. I hurried home, thrusting (塞) the letter into my mom’s hands. I buried my face in the cushions, sobbing uncontrollably as waves of heartache swept over me. 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。 From that day on, I didn’t talk to Alex. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, Mom talked with me, saying Alex wasn’t the one to blame. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 From that day on, I didn’t talk to Alex. Each day at school, I navigated the hallways with a new route, avoiding the places he frequented. The shared excitement that once connected us was replaced by a painful silence. Alex tried to do something to mend it. One day, he even left me a note, trying to comfort me. But I looked at him coldly, “Leave me alone.” I knew I was hurting him, but the sting of rejection was too fresh, and I couldn’t find the words to bridge the gap. Finally, Mom talked with me, saying Alex wasn’t the one to blame. She reminded me that success and failure were parts of life’s journey. “You should have congratulated your friend on this instead of feeling pitiful for yourself,” she said seriously. It suddenly struck me that how unfairly I treated Alex. Seized by guilt, I followed mom’s advice and left Alex a note, expressing my feelings—not as an apology, but as a step towards healing and rebuilding our bond. It was time to face my fears and embrace the reality that our friendship could weather this storm. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和亚历克斯一起申请项目，结果作者被拒绝了，作者感到不公平，拒绝和亚历克斯说话。母亲得知后，开解了作者，让作者和亚历克斯化解了误会。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“从那天起，我就没跟亚历克斯说过话”可知，第一段可描写作者避免和亚历克斯接触，亚历克斯试图安慰作者。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，妈妈和我谈了谈，说亚历克斯不应该受到责备”可知，第二段可描写母亲开解作者，作者和亚历克斯解开误会。 2.续写线索：拒绝沟通——躲避亚历克斯——亚历克斯写纸条安慰——母亲沟通——母亲开解——作者表达歉意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①代替：replace/take place of ②度过：weather/get through ③接受：embrace/accept 情绪类 ①拒绝：rejection/denial ②恐惧：fear/horror 【点睛】[高分句型1] One day, he even left me a note, trying to comfort me.
