B When tour guide and wildlife photographer Gaurav Ramnarayanan was on a safari jeep with his tourists at Kaziranga National Park, they heard an alarm call from a deer — the sound an animal makes when it sees a predator (捕食者). He began driving, turning a corner before stopping the car in its tracks: Around 700 meters away, there was a tiger on the road. When he looked at the predator through his camera lens: With strawberry-blonde stripes, the big cat was unmistakably a rare “golden” tiger. “The tiger decided to come towards us, not with any intention for attack or any intention to harm us, but purely to pass through his path and proceed with marking his territory,” says Ramnarayanan. He was able to snap incredible shots of the tiger as it walked along the road, coming within 100 meters of the safari jeep. Ramnarayanan posted an image online, and Internet users were quick to express their admiration for the stunning photo and the tiger’s unusual coloring. But golden tigers are not a subspecies: They’re the result of a genetic mutation (突变) that changes the color of their fur. And while they are beautiful, their presence has a dark side. Golden tigers, like white and snow- white tigers, are one result of a recessive trait that appears as a mutation in color-creating gene. While it’s a unique selling point for visitors, the park is not celebrating; The recessive genes are showing up due to inbreeding (同系繁殖) within a weakened population. Around 70% of Assam’s 190 tigers reside in Kaziranga, but rapid development in the region means wildlife is losing its historic migration routes between habitats. For photographer Ramnarayanan, Kaziranga’s golden tiger was his first sighting of these unusually colored big cats. Striking as it was, he’s conscious of the rarity, and hopes he can inspire conversations about how to better protect wildlife. “As a photographer, I can bring messages out to the public,” he adds. 4. What may a deer do when sensing danger? A. Hide in a corner. B. Pretend to be dead. C. Make a warning sound. D. Helplessly wait for death. 5. What did Ramnarayanan do when the tiger was coming toward him? A. He felt threatened and drove away. B. He tried to attract the tiger’s attention. C. He ignored it and continued the route. D. He took the chance to photograph the tiger. 6. What is the attitude of the park towards more tigers living in this area? A. Concerned. B. Indifferent. C. Opposed. D. Ignorant. 7. What does Gaurav Ramnarayanan hope to do regarding his encounter with the golden tiger? A. Capture more images of similar tigers. B. Cause discussions on wildlife protection. C. Discourage tourists from visiting the park. D. Highlight the beauty of Kaziranga National Park. C We may not always notice that we frequently imitate each other in conversation, using similar gestures, accents, and facial expressions. We also often reuse the words of the people we speak with. Over time, this form of engagement, known as resonance (共鸣), has increased mostly among people in higher social grades, including people in leading managerial positions in the corporate world, doctors, university lecturers and politicians, according to a study led by Dr Vittorio Tantucci, a Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at Lancaster University. It showed that over a 20-year period people from these sectors changed their behaviour — resonating with one another significantly more than they used to and moving towards a more engaging style. We talk like others to be more inclusive and resonate with them. This might, suggest the researchers, be due to the dramatic change in corporate communication and higher education in the 2000s, involving an institutional turn towards corporate social responsibility (CSR), and ideologies (意识形态) such as Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). “This affected not only the system of values of those communities but also their interactional behaviour, now increasingly moving towards open acknowledgement of other people’ s talk,” said Dr Tantucci. “This increase is not found in workplaces where these ideologies are not routinely encouraged.” “When words and expressions are creatively reused in conversation, speakers are more engaged with each other’s speech, showing a more inclusive attitude towards what has just been said by the other party,” explains Dr Tantucci. “They make the other person’s speech sound more important.” This phenomenon — resonance — has become more obvious across higher social grades of British Society than in lower ones. This shows a significant change in how British people interact with one another and how this is reflected in different social classes. 8. What does the term “resonance” refer to in the text? A. The physical act of sound. B. The psychological phenomenon of sympathy. C. The corporate strategy of adapting to market trends. D. The behavioral pattern of imitating others in conversation. 9. Which group has shown the most significant increase in resonance? A. High school students. B. Amateur athletes. C. Leaders of companies. D. Shopping assistants. 10. What might be the reason behind the increase in resonance? A. The rise of social media. B. The influence of popular culture. C. Advances in communication technology. D. The shift towards CSR and ideologies like EDI. 11. How does a communicator feel in a resonant conversation? A. Respected. B. Offended. C. Nervous. D. Uncomfortable. D Forests have been embraced as a natural climate solution, due to their ability to soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow, locking it up in their trunks, branches, leaves, and roots. But a new study confirms widespread doubts about the potential for most forests in the Western US to help control climate change. Published in Earth’s Future, the paper analyzed trends in carbon storage across the American West from 2005 to 2019. Led by Jazlynn Hall, a forest and landscape ecologist at Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, the team found that throughout most of the region, climate change and fires may be causing forests to store less carbon, not more. “There’s a growing trend to use forests as natural climate solutions,” said Hall. “Many climate mitigation (减轻) pathways rely in part on additional forest carbon storage to keep warming below 1.5℃ this century. We wanted to provide a baseline for how much carbon is currently stored in Western forests, how it’s changing, and how disturbances like fire and drought pose a threat to climate mitigation targets.” The authors warn that many Western forests could see a rapid acceleration of carbon loss in the coming years or decades. “These challenges have the potential to compromise carbon storage capacity and weaken our ability to mitigate climate change, Hah cautions. By providing a fire-new view of threats at landscape and regional levels Hall and colleagues provide a framework (框架) that could help forest managers adapt site-specific strategies to strengthen forest resilience (复原力). They also identify the remaining areas with the lowest risk and highest potential to store carbon, such as the Pacific Northwest. “Our study develops new methods to carefully estimate forest-carbon storage at a regional level, track it over time, and find out the causes of changes over time,” said Hall. He expects the methods will be useful in monitoring carbon storage levels going forward, as well as assessing the carbon impacts of management efforts such as forest thinning and planned burning. 12. What does the underlined phrase “soak up” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Put down. B. Take in. C. Bring up. D. Give out. 13. Why was the study conducted? A. To find the best forests for carbon storage. B. To promote forests’ carbon storage capacity. C. To assess the current situation of forests. D. To measure the carbon released into forests. 14. What can we say about the future trend of Western forests? A. Carbon loss will speed up. B. They will become more resilient. C. They will store more carbon. D. They will have no impact on climate. 15. What is the primary function of Hall’s framework for forest management? A. Predicting future forest growth rates. B. Identifying high- risk areas for protection. C. Mapping all the forests in the Western US. D. Helping managers adapt strategies to forests. 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。 How to Become a More Interesting Person While you won’t be the life of every party, you do have the potential to develop more passionate relationships with other people and activities.

Dahu Park’s Moon Bridge is one of the most famous places in the whole world. That’s because, at night, it shines bright like the moon! On the bridge, I saw something huge floating on top of the water. I wondered what it was, so I went down to look. When I saw what it was, I wished I hadn’t. There was a rotting, dead, ugly fish floating in the pond. My friend Jasper came over to see what I was looking at and he almost threw up. I asked him if he needed medicine. He said he needed me to get that fish as far away from him as possible. I poked it with a stick, I realized that it was hard and its eye was missing. I was totally disgusted. I lost my appetite. Our teacher, sensing what was about to happen, took us away from the pond. We walked for a while and kept exploring Dahu Park. As we crossed over a bridge, I tried not to look into the water. Then, I saw three old men fishing. Two looked annoyed and nervous, but the other was calm. They looked like they were competing. I got closer. The calm one patiently waited for a fish to fall into the trap. When he finally caught a fish, I was so happy I could have jumped into the lake. But the fish was really small. I expected him to put it in a container or something, but no, he threw it to a nearby bird. It swallowed it happily. The other birds looked at it with jealousy, and then moved closer to the old man. I was shocked. He worked so hard and finally caught a fish, and he threw his first one to a bird! 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。 I thought maybe the disgusting fish I saw earlier had something to do with this old man’s actions. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing what they talked about the seriousness of water pollution, I understood why. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 ABACC 6—10 BACAC 11—15 CABBC 16—20 CABAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三英语考试 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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?

He began driving, turning a corner before stopping the car in its tracks: Around 700 meters away, there was a tiger on the road. When he looked at the predator through his camera lens: With strawberry-blonde stripes, the big cat was unmistakably a rare “golden” tiger. “The tiger decided to come towards us, not with any intention for attack or any intention to harm us, but purely to pass through his path and proceed with marking his territory,” says Ramnarayanan. He was able to snap incredible shots of the tiger as it walked along the road, coming within 100 meters of the safari jeep. Ramnarayanan posted an image online, and Internet users were quick to express their admiration for the stunning photo and the tiger’s unusual coloring. But golden tigers are not a subspecies: They’re the result of a genetic mutation (突变) that changes the color of their fur. And while they are beautiful, their presence has a dark side. Golden tigers, like white and snow- white tigers, are one result of a recessive trait that appears as a mutation in color-creating gene. While it’s a unique selling point for visitors, the park is not celebrating; The recessive genes are showing up due to inbreeding (同系繁殖) within a weakened population. Around 70% of Assam’s 190 tigers reside in Kaziranga, but rapid development in the region means wildlife is losing its historic migration routes between habitats. For photographer Ramnarayanan, Kaziranga’s golden tiger was his first sighting of these unusually colored big cats. Striking as it was, he’s conscious of the rarity, and hopes he can inspire conversations about how to better protect wildlife. “As a photographer, I can bring messages out to the public,” he adds. 4. What may a deer do when sensing danger? A. Hide in a corner. B. Pretend to be dead. C. Make a warning sound. D. Helplessly wait for death. 5. What did Ramnarayanan do when the tiger was coming toward him? A. He felt threatened and drove away. B. He tried to attract the tiger’s attention. C. He ignored it and continued the route. D. He took the chance to photograph the tiger. 6. What is the attitude of the park towards more tigers living in this area? A. Concerned. B. Indifferent. C. Opposed. D. Ignorant. 7. What does Gaurav Ramnarayanan hope to do regarding his encounter with the golden tiger? A. Capture more images of similar tigers. B. Cause discussions on wildlife protection. C. Discourage tourists from visiting the park. D. Highlight the beauty of Kaziranga National Park. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了摄影师Gaurav Ramnarayanan拍摄下了金色老虎的照片，在网上发布了这张照片后，网民们迅速表达了对这张令人惊叹的照片和老虎不同寻常的颜色的钦佩。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When tour guide and wildlife photographer Gaurav Ramnarayanan was on a safari jeep with his tourists at Kaziranga National Park, they heard an alarm call from a deer—the sound an animal makes when it sees a predator (捕食者).(当导游兼野生动物摄影师高拉夫·拉姆纳拉亚南和他的游客们在卡齐兰加国家公园的一辆游猎吉普车上时，他们听到了一只鹿发出的警报声——这是动物看到捕食者时发出的声音)”可知，当鹿感觉到危险时，它会发出警告声。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He was able to snap incredible shots of the tiger as it walked along the road, coming within 100 meters of the safari jeep.(当这只老虎沿着公路走到离他的狩猎吉普车不到100米的地方时，他拍到了令人难以置信的照片)”可知，当老虎向他走来时，Ramnarayanan抓住机会给老虎拍照。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“While it’s a unique selling point for visitors, the park is not celebrating; The recessive genes are showing up due to inbreeding (同系繁殖) within a weakened population. Around 70% of Assam’s 190 tigers reside in Kaziranga, but rapid development in the region means wildlife is losing its historic migration routes between habitats.(虽然这对游客来说是一个独特的卖点，但公园并没有庆祝；隐性基因的出现是由于在一个衰弱的种群中近亲繁殖。阿萨姆邦的190只老虎中约有70%生活在卡齐兰加，但该地区的快速发展意味着野生动物正在失去其在栖息地之间的历史迁徙路线)”可知，公园对更多的老虎生活在这个地区持担忧态度。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“For photographer Ramnarayanan, Kaziranga’s golden tiger was his first sighting of these unusually colored big cats. Striking as it was, he’s conscious of the rarity, and hopes he can inspire conversations about how to better protect wildlife. “As a photographer, I can bring messages out to the public,” he adds.(对于摄影师Ramnarayanan来说，卡兹兰加的金虎是他第一次看到这种颜色不同寻常的大型猫科动物。尽管它很引人注目，但他意识到它的稀有性，并希望他能激发关于如何更好地保护野生动物的讨论。“作为一名摄影师，我可以向公众传达信息，”他补充道)”可知，关于他与金老虎的相遇，高拉夫·拉姆纳拉亚南希望做引起关于野生动物保护的讨论。故选B。 C We may not always notice that we frequently imitate each other in conversation, using similar gestures, accents, and facial expressions. We also often reuse the words of the people we speak with. Over time, this form of engagement, known as resonance (共鸣), has increased mostly among people in higher social grades, including people in leading managerial positions in the corporate world, doctors, university lecturers and politicians, according to a study led by Dr Vittorio Tantucci, a Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at Lancaster University. It showed that over a 20-year period people from these sectors changed their behaviour — resonating with one another significantly more than they used to and moving towards a more engaging style. We talk like others to be more inclusive and resonate with them. This might, suggest the researchers, be due to the dramatic change in corporate communication and higher education in the 2000s, involving an institutional turn towards corporate social responsibility (CSR), and ideologies (意识形态) such as Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). “This affected not only the system of values of those communities but also their interactional behaviour, now increasingly moving towards open acknowledgement of other people’ s talk,” said Dr Tantucci. “This increase is not found in workplaces where these ideologies are not routinely encouraged.” “When words and expressions are creatively reused in conversation, speakers are more engaged with each other’s speech, showing a more inclusive attitude towards what has just been said by the other party,” explains Dr Tantucci. “They make the other person’s speech sound more important.” This phenomenon — resonance — has become more obvious across higher social grades of British Society than in lower ones. This shows a significant change in how British people interact with one another and how this is reflected in different social classes. 8. What does the term “resonance” refer to in the text? A. The physical act of sound. B. The psychological phenomenon of sympathy. C. The corporate strategy of adapting to market trends. D. The behavioral pattern of imitating others in conversation. 9. Which group has shown the most significant increase in resonance? A. High school students. B. Amateur athletes. C. Leaders of companies. D. Shopping assistants. 10. What might be the reason behind the increase in resonance? A. The rise of social media. B. The influence of popular culture. C. Advances in communication technology. D. The shift towards CSR and ideologies like EDI. 11. How does a communicator feel in a resonant conversation? A. Respected. B. Offended. C. Nervous. D. Uncomfortable. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了是指在谈话中模仿他人的行为模式—共鸣。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“We may not always notice that we frequently imitate each other in conversation, using similar gestures, accents, and facial expressions. We also often reuse the words of the people we speak with.(我们可能没有注意到，我们经常在谈话中模仿对方，使用相似的手势、口音和面部表情。我们也经常重复使用和我们交谈的人说过的话。)”可知，“共鸣”是指在谈话中模仿他人的行为模式。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Over time, this form of engagement, known as resonance(共鸣), has increased mostly among people in higher social grades, including people in leading managerial positions in the corporate world, doctors, university lecturers and politicians, according to a study led by Dr Vittorio Tantucci, a Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at Lancaster University.(兰开斯特大学语言学高级讲师维托里奥·坦图奇博士领导的一项研究表明，随着时间的推移，这种被称为共鸣的参与形式主要在社会地位较高的人群中增加，包括企业界的高级管理职位、医生、大学讲师和政治家。)”可知，企业领导人的共鸣增长最为显著。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“This might, suggest the researchers, be due to the dramatic change in corporate communication and higher education in the 2000s, involving an institutional turn towards corporate social responsibility (CSR), and ideologies(意识形态) such as Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI).(研究人员认为，这可能是由于2000年代企业沟通和高等教育发生了巨大变化，包括机构转向企业社会责任(CSR)，以及平等、多样性和包容(EDI)等意识形态。)”可知，可能是由于2000年代企业沟通和高等教育发生了巨大变化可能是共鸣增加的原因。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段““When words and expressions are creatively reused in conversation, speakers are more engaged with each other’s speech, showing a more inclusive attitude towards what has just been said by the other party,” explains Dr Tantucci. “They make the other person’s speech sound more important.”(坦图奇博士解释说:“当词汇和表达在谈话中被创造性地重复使用时，说话者会更投入到对方的演讲中，对对方刚刚说的话表现出更包容的态度。”“它们让对方的讲话听起来更重要。”)”可知，说话者会更投入到对方的演讲中，对对方刚刚说的话表现出更包容的态度，可知，沟通者在有共鸣的谈话中感到被尊重。故选A。 D Forests have been embraced as a natural climate solution, due to their ability to soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow, locking it up in their trunks, branches, leaves, and roots. But a new study confirms widespread doubts about the potential for most forests in the Western US to help control climate change. Published in Earth’s Future, the paper analyzed trends in carbon storage across the American West from 2005 to 2019. Led by Jazlynn Hall, a forest and landscape ecologist at Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, the team found that throughout most of the region, climate change and fires may be causing forests to store less carbon, not more. “There’s a growing trend to use forests as natural climate solutions,” said Hall. “Many climate mitigation (减轻) pathways rely in part on additional forest carbon storage to keep warming below 1.5℃ this century. We wanted to provide a baseline for how much carbon is currently stored in Western forests, how it’s changing, and how disturbances like fire and drought pose a threat to climate mitigation targets.” The authors warn that many Western forests could see a rapid acceleration of carbon loss in the coming years or decades. “These challenges have the potential to compromise carbon storage capacity and weaken our ability to mitigate climate change, Hah cautions. By providing a fire-new view of threats at landscape and regional levels, Hall and colleagues provide a framework (框架) that could help forest managers adapt site-specific strategies to strengthen forest resilience (复原力). They also identify the remaining areas with the lowest risk and highest potential to store carbon, such as the Pacific Northwest. “Our study develops new methods to carefully estimate forest-carbon storage at a regional level, track it over time, and find out the causes of changes over time,” said Hall. He expects the methods will be useful in monitoring carbon storage levels going forward, as well as assessing the carbon impacts of management efforts such as forest thinning and planned burning. 12. What does the underlined phrase “soak up” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Put down. B. Take in. C. Bring up. D. Give out. 13. Why was the study conducted? A. To find the best forests for carbon storage. B. To promote forests’ carbon storage capacity. C. To assess the current situation of forests. D. To measure the carbon released into forests. 14. What can we say about the future trend of Western forests? A. Carbon loss will speed up. B. They will become more resilient. C. They will store more carbon. D. They will have no impact on climate. 15. What is the primary function of Hall’s framework for forest management? A. Predicting future forest growth rates. B. Identifying high- risk areas for protection. C. Mapping all the forests in the Western US. D. Helping managers adapt strategies to forests. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章报道了一项新的科学研究，内容关于美国西部森林的碳储存能力及其与气候变化的关系。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“locking it up in their trunks, branches, leaves, and roots.(并将其锁在树干、树枝、树叶和树根中。)”可推知，应是从大气中吸收二氧化碳，才能将其锁在树干、树枝、树叶和树根中，所以soak up应是“吸收”之意，和B项意思相近。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““There’s a growing trend to use forests as natural climate solutions,” said Hall. “Many climate mitigation (减轻) pathways rely in part on additional forest carbon storage to keep warming below 1.5℃ this century. We wanted to provide a baseline for how much carbon is currently stored in Western forests, how it’s changing, and how disturbances like fire and drought pose a threat to climate mitigation targets.”(霍尔说：“利用森林作为自然气候解决方案的趋势越来越大。”“许多减缓气候变化的途径在一定程度上依赖于额外的森林碳储量，以将本世纪的气温保持在1.5℃以下。我们希望提供一个基线，了解目前西部森林中储存了多少碳，它是如何变化的，以及火灾和干旱等干扰如何对气候减缓目标构成威胁。”)”可知，进行这项研究是为了评估森林的现状。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The authors warn that many Western forests could see a rapid acceleration of carbon loss in the coming years or decades.(作者警告说，在未来几年或几十年里，许多西部森林的碳损失可能会迅速加速。)”可知，西部森林的未来趋势是碳的流失将会加速。故选A项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题，根据倒数第二段“By providing a fire-new view of threats at landscape and regional levels, Hall and colleagues provide a framework (框架) that could help forest managers adapt site-specific strategies to strengthen forest resilience (复原力).(通过对景观和区域层面的威胁提供全新的看法，Hall及其同事提供了一个框架，可以帮助森林管理者适应特定地点的战略，以加强森林的恢复力。)”可知，霍尔森林管理框架的主要功能是帮助管理者调整战略以适应森林环境。故选D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。 How to Become a More Interesting Person While you won’t be the life of every party, you do have the potential to develop more passionate relationships with other people and activities.

Dahu Park’s Moon Bridge is one of the most famous places in the whole world. That’s because, at night, it shines bright like the moon! On the bridge, I saw something huge floating on top of the water. I wondered what it was, so I went down to look. When I saw what it was, I wished I hadn’t. There was a rotting, dead, ugly fish floating in the pond. My friend Jasper came over to see what I was looking at and he almost threw up. I asked him if he needed medicine. He said he needed me to get that fish as far away from him as possible. I poked it with a stick, I realized that it was hard and its eye was missing. I was totally disgusted. I lost my appetite. Our teacher, sensing what was about to happen, took us away from the pond. We walked for a while and kept exploring Dahu Park. As we crossed over a bridge, I tried not to look into the water. Then, I saw three old men fishing. Two looked annoyed and nervous, but the other was calm. They looked like they were competing. I got closer. The calm one patiently waited for a fish to fall into the trap. When he finally caught a fish, I was so happy I could have jumped into the lake. But the fish was really small. I expected him to put it in a container or something, but no, he threw it to a nearby bird. It swallowed it happily. The other birds looked at it with jealousy, and then moved closer to the old man. I was shocked. He worked so hard and finally caught a fish, and he threw his first one to a bird! 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。 I thought maybe the disgusting fish I saw earlier had something to do with this old man’s actions. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing what they talked about the seriousness of water pollution, I understood why. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： I thought maybe the disgusting fish I saw earlier had something to do with this old man’s actions. The fish he caught had been skinny and looked sick. I was so close to him that I could hear him say something about the people polluting the water. That’s when I realized what he was talking about. The reason why we saw the dead fish earlier was that people were polluting the water. I noticed the fish he caught had the same black pattern on its scales as the dead fish. Those weren’t scales; those were the result of bad chemicals. I felt really sad for the fish. Hearing what they talked about the seriousness of water pollution, I understood why. Maybe someone threw some trash with chemicals into the water. Then another person threw another piece of trash into the lake. Maybe when the two chemicals were mixed together, they created a new deadly substance that killed the fish. This doesn’t just affect the fish, it affects us too. If the smaller fish get poisoned, and the big fish eat them, the big fish will get poisoned. If we eat the poisoned fish, we will get poisoned. Then, Dahu Park will not be famous for its Moon Bridge, but it will be famous for its dead fish. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者和老师、同学去大湖公园学习自然，在池塘里看到了漂着的死鱼，作者看到有老人在钓鱼，并将钓到的鱼丢给鸟。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我想也许我之前看到的恶心的鱼和这位老人的行为有关。”可知，第一段可描写作者听了老人讲关于人们污染水的事情以及鱼死的原因， ②由第二段首句内容“听到他们谈论水污染的严重性，我明白了为什么。”可知，第二段可描写污染的类型和不良影响。 2.续写线索：听老人的讲关于污染事情——作者感到难过—污染的类型——带来的影响 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize /be aware of ②看到：see/witness ③扔：throw/chuck ④影响：affect/impact 情绪类 ①难过的：sad/sorrowful 【点睛】[高分句型1] That’s when I realized what he was talking about. (运用了when引导的表语从句和what引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2] The reason why we saw the dead fish earlier was that people were polluting the water.
