B A little more than a year ago, Malia Martinez was introduced to a sewing (缝纫) machine, thanks to a thoughtful Christmas gift. “I got a gift certificate at Christmas to start sewing lessons,” Martinez said. “I really liked it.” Later, a campground she often visited held a craft fair. Surrounded by pet owners and their beloved pets, Malia had an idea that would change lives. Why not create bandannas, a kind of colorful scarf, for dogs and cats and use them to support animal shelters? With great passion and the support of her grandmother, Martinez turned a corner of their home into a craft room. Her grandmother helped her when she needed to iron things like that. Together, Martinez and her grandmother made many lovely bandannas, ranging in different styles and sizes. But Martinez’s goal went far beyond sewing lovely bandannas. She began donating her creations to shelters like Forever Paws in Fall River, hoping it would attract a potential family. ”When I went to see the dogs in the animal shelters, it was kind of sad. So I thought if we got them a bandanna, they would look cuter like ‘Oh this one is cute. Maybe I can adopt this one’ and they would get a home and have the food and shelter they need, said Martinez. “And I just thought it’d be fun to maybe have an impact on that.” Besides donating bandannas, Martinez began selling them through word-of-mouth and at pop-up events. Ranging from $3 to $7, money from her sales is now donated to shelters too. A few weeks ago, she donated more than $ 200 to the Kingston Animal Shelter. “They were happy and really appreciative, which made me feel really good inside,” said Martinez. “It makes me happy to see how it’s impacted the people and dogs.” 4. What inspired Martinez to create bandannas? A. A Christmas gift. B. A trip to a craft fair. C. Her family’s support. D. Her interest in sewing. 5. What did Martinez’s grandmother do to support her? A. She helped with the sewing work. B. She built a craft room for Martinez. C. She paid for Martinez’s sewing lessons. D. She bought Martinez a sewing machine. 6. Why did Martinez give away bandannas to animal shelters? A. To increase the chances of animal adoption. B. To call on more people to visit the shelters. C. To build a home for the homeless animals. D. To improve the animals’ living conditions. 7 Which of the following may best describe Martinez? A. Patient and easygoing. B. Brave and outgoing. C. Creative and caring. D. Honest and loving. C Many people would believe that the smooth flow of traffic in city areas is highly dependent on street designs. As it turns out, this may not be the case after all. A new type of design called a woonerf, the Dutch term for “living street”, operates under quite a different philosophy. A woonerf is a paved street area with practically no signs, lines, or traffic signals. It seems counter-intuitive that the absence of typical traffic markings could lead to safer streets with fewer accidents and even optimize traffic flow, yet it seems that it does. Street markers serve to create a sense of safety, but in fact, they actually make roads less safe because drivers tend to feel that they do not need to pay as much attention if they have signs and markers telling them what to do. Removing markers creates an ambiguous environment for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, causing them to pay more attention to their surroundings and requiring them to interact more with each other by making eye contact more often. In effect, making streets appear to be more dangerous actually makes them safer, creating a cooperative balance among the users. Since the plan was carried out, it has brought positive results. One town in England that recently removed white lines from roads saw a 35 percent decrease in the rate of accidents and a 5 percent drop in average driving speed. First introduced in the 1970s in the Netherlands, where they are still common, living streets can also be found in Germany, Denmark, and Switzerland, and they are becoming more popular throughout Europe and America. By taking into consideration humans’ response to apparent danger, these shared spaces are able to create an environment where humans work well. 8. What does a woonerf refer to? A. A Dutch street. B. A design of street. C. A term for traffic flow. D. A set of traffic markers. 9. What does the underlined word “optimize” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Double. B. Prevent. C. Record. D. Improve. 10. What influence does the woonerf have on people? A. They can move around more freely. B. They take little notice of traffic rules. C. They are more careful about road safety. D. They are more interested in the environment. 11. What can be inferred about the woonerf from the last paragraph? A. It has worked well in Asia. B. It spreads widely in Europe. C. It increases the driving speed. D. It has added to the traffic flow. D Around one million cuneiform tablets (楔形文字泥板) have been found worldwide, on which cuneiform — the oldest known form of writing — was carved. Deciphering (破译) those cuneiform tablets helps know about the incredible stories of men, women and children in the early period of history. However, they are heavily weathered and thus difficult to decipher. A new artificial intelligence (AI) software is now able to explain difficult-to-read texts. It was developed by a team from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and Mainz University of Applied Sciences. Hubert Mara, a professor at MLU, and his research team came up with the idea of developing an AI system that applied 3D models. Instead of photos, the researchers first used 3D models of nearly 2,000 cuneiform tablets, including around 50 from a collection at MLU, achieving significantly more dependable results than previous methods. The new system deciphers characters better than previous methods. In principle, the AI system works along the same lines as OCR software, which turns the images of writing and text into machine-readable text. “OCR usually works with photographs. This is no problem for ink on paper. In the case of cuneiform tablets, however, things are more difficult because the lighting conditions greatly influence how well certain characters can be recognized,” explains Mara. The team trained the new AI software and did succeed in recognizing the symbols on the tablets. “We were surprised to find that our system works so well with these tablets, which are heavily weathered,” says Mara. The work by the researchers makes a major step forward in the study of ancient writing systems and opens up many new lines of scientific exploration. Up until now, it can only translate symbols from two languages. However, a total of twelve cuneiform languages are known to exist. In the future, the software could also help to decipher weathered inscriptions (碑文), for example in cemeteries, which are three-dimensional like cuneiform. 12. What do we-know about cuneiform tablets? A. They are greatly damaged over time. B. They record many prehistoric stories. C. They show big progress in writing. D. They are quite small in number. 13. What is special about the new AI system? A. It uses OCR software. B. It is based on 3D models. C. It can translate 12 languages. D. It can turn texts into symbols. 14. What impressed Mara during the research? A. The difficulty in saving cuneiform tablets. B. The discovery of a new writing system. C. The achievements in computer science. D. The effectiveness of the new AI system. 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. 3D models are useful in researches B. OCR software deciphered cuneiform C. AI software helps read ancient symbols D. Scientists use AI to find cuneiform tablets 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。 We all know that fish tanks bring comfort and peace for adults—or at least, we are in a better mood after staring at our fish for a while. But what about kids? ___16___ Taking care of something that depends on them teaches kids responsibility. It helps them realize that what they do is important and that sometimes things need to get done（like feeding the fish）even when they don't feel like doing it.

Keeping a fish tank also has a direct effect on kids' mental health. ___18___ One study has shown that people feel more relaxed and calmer after watching live fish in a tank for five minutes. Interestingly, studies have also shown that watching fish in a tank helps calm kids. So why not bring that experience to your home? ___19___ One fun part of having a fish tank is choosing from a range of fascinating fish, plants and other decorations. If you can, get kids involved in this process by bringing them along to the fish store with you when you select fish or decorations. You can discuss with your kids about your choices. ___20___ It might not seem like you're teaching anything—but through these conversations, kids are learning to think creatively.

To add to the benefits, it inspires creativity. C. Keeping a fish tank brings lots of fun to kids. D. Are kids able to take good care of a fish tank? E.

I lived in a peaceful village surrounded by mountains and the people there were nice to me. One day, I decided to go for a walk in the nearby forest. I had my backpack prepared with water, food, and sunscreen. I was excited to spend some time in nature to enjoy the fresh air and peace. The forest was attractive, with towering trees that seemed to touch the sky and colorful wild flowers under my feet. I walked deeper into the woods, attracted by the pleasant sounds of birds. The path I followed was winding and narrow, but I paid little attention, carried away by the beauty unfolding in front of me. I started to notice that the trees around me looked unfamiliar(陌生的). Soon I found myself lost. I realized that I had no idea which way to go. The sun was setting and I knew that I needed to find a way out before it got dark. I started walking trying to remember which direction I had come from. But the forest was a maze(迷宫) of winding paths, and I soon found myself going in circles. Every tree looked the same, and every path seemed to lead nowhere. The sound of leaves made me jump. Was it a wild animal? Or worse, a person? My heart was racing and I tried to stay calm as I listened for other sounds. But there was only silence, broken now and then by the distant calls of birds. As the sun set, I fully understood the seriousness of my situation. There was no food or water left. I was hungry, thirsty and worse still, completely alone, lost in a wilderness that could easily devour(吞噬) me. I walked nervously, tripping over things in my path, feeling frightened with racing heartbeats. Hours passed, or maybe only minutes. Time had lost all meaning in this place. 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 was about to give up hope when I saw a weak light in the distance. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The house owner welcomed me inside. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1.

Surrounded by pet owners and their beloved pets, Malia had an idea that would change lives. Why not create bandannas, a kind of colorful scarf, for dogs and cats and use them to support animal shelters? With great passion and the support of her grandmother, Martinez turned a corner of their home into a craft room. Her grandmother helped her when she needed to iron things like that. Together, Martinez and her grandmother made many lovely bandannas, ranging in different styles and sizes. But Martinez’s goal went far beyond sewing lovely bandannas. She began donating her creations to shelters like Forever Paws in Fall River, hoping it would attract a potential family. ”When I went to see the dogs in the animal shelters, it was kind of sad. So I thought if we got them a bandanna, they would look cuter like ‘Oh this one is cute. Maybe I can adopt this one’ and they would get a home and have the food and shelter they need, said Martinez. “And I just thought it’d be fun to maybe have an impact on that.” Besides donating bandannas, Martinez began selling them through word-of-mouth and at pop-up events. Ranging from $3 to $7, money from her sales is now donated to shelters too. A few weeks ago, she donated more than $ 200 to the Kingston Animal Shelter. “They were happy and really appreciative, which made me feel really good inside,” said Martinez. “It makes me happy to see how it’s impacted the people and dogs.” 4. What inspired Martinez to create bandannas? A. A Christmas gift. B. A trip to a craft fair. C. Her family’s support. D. Her interest in sewing. 5. What did Martinez’s grandmother do to support her? A. She helped with the sewing work. B. She built a craft room for Martinez. C. She paid for Martinez’s sewing lessons. D. She bought Martinez a sewing machine. 6. Why did Martinez give away bandannas to animal shelters? A. To increase the chances of animal adoption. B. To call on more people to visit the shelters. C. To build a home for the homeless animals. D. To improve the animals’ living conditions. 7. Which of the following may best describe Martinez? A. Patient and easygoing. B. Brave and outgoing. C. Creative and caring. D. Honest and loving. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了玛丽亚·马丁内斯通过制作围巾来帮助动物，增加被收养的可能性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Later, a campground she often visited held a craft fair.

As it turns out, this may not be the case after all. A new type of design called a woonerf, the Dutch term for “living street”, operates under quite a different philosophy. A woonerf is a paved street area with practically no signs, lines, or traffic signals. It seems counter-intuitive that the absence of typical traffic markings could lead to safer streets with fewer accidents and even optimize traffic flow, yet it seems that it does. Street markers serve to create a sense of safety, but in fact, they actually make roads less safe because drivers tend to feel that they do not need to pay as much attention if they have signs and markers telling them what to do. Removing markers creates an ambiguous environment for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, causing them to pay more attention to their surroundings and requiring them to interact more with each other by making eye contact more often. In effect, making streets appear to be more dangerous actually makes them safer, creating a cooperative balance among the users. Since the plan was carried out, it has brought positive results. One town in England that recently removed white lines from roads saw a 35 percent decrease in the rate of accidents and a 5 percent drop in average driving speed. First introduced in the 1970s in the Netherlands, where they are still common, living streets can also be found in Germany, Denmark, and Switzerland, and they are becoming more popular throughout Europe and America. By taking into consideration humans’ response to apparent danger, these shared spaces are able to create an environment where humans work well. 8. What does a woonerf refer to? A. A Dutch street. B. A design of street. C. A term for traffic flow. D. A set of traffic markers. 9. What does the underlined word “optimize” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Double. B. Prevent. C. Record. D. Improve. 10. What influence does the woonerf have on people? A. They can move around more freely. B. They take little notice of traffic rules. C. They are more careful about road safety. D. They are more interested in the environment. 11. What can be inferred about the woonerf from the last paragraph? A. It has worked well in Asia. B. It spreads widely in Europe. C. It increases the driving speed. D. It has added to the traffic flow. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一种名为woonerf的新型设计，woonerf是一个铺砌的街道区域，几乎没有标志、线路或交通信号。介绍了这种设计的好处以及应用情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new type of design called a woonerf, the Dutch term for “living street”, operates under quite a different philosophy. A woonerf is a paved street area with practically no signs, lines, or traffic signals.(一种名为woonerf的新型设计，在荷兰语中是“生活街道”的意思，其运作理念完全不同。woonerf是一个铺砌的街道区域，几乎没有标志、线路或交通信号)”可知，woonerf指的是街道设计。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“the absence of typical traffic markings could lead to safer streets with fewer accidents and even(没有典型的交通标志可能会导致更安全的街道，减少事故，甚至……)”以及后文“traffic flow(交通流量)”可知，此处是在说明没有交通标志带来的好处，更安全的街道，减少事故，甚至改善交通流量。故划线词意思是“改善”。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Removing markers creates an ambiguous environment for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, causing them to pay more attention to their surroundings and requiring them to interact more with each other by making eye contact more often. In effect, making streets appear to be more dangerous actually makes them safer, creating a cooperative balance among the users.(移除标记会给司机、骑自行车人和行人创造一个模糊的环境，使他们更加关注周围的环境，并要求他们通过更频繁的眼神交流来进行更多的互动。实际上，让街道看起来更危险实际上会让它们更安全，在使用者之间创造一种合作的平衡)”可知，woonerf让人们更注意道路安全。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“First introduced in the 1970s in the Netherlands, where they are still common, living streets can also be found in Germany, Denmark, and Switzerland, and they are becoming more popular throughout Europe and America.(“生活街”最早于20世纪70年代在荷兰推出，至今仍很普遍。如今，在德国、丹麦和瑞士也可以找到“生活街”，在整个欧洲和美国也越来越流行)”可知，woonerf在欧洲广泛传播。故选B。 D Around one million cuneiform tablets (楔形文字泥板) have been found worldwide, on which cuneiform — the oldest known form of writing — was carved. Deciphering (破译) those cuneiform tablets helps know about the incredible stories of men, women and children in the early period of history. However, they are heavily weathered and thus difficult to decipher. A new artificial intelligence (AI) software is now able to explain difficult-to-read texts. It was developed by a team from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and Mainz University of Applied Sciences. Hubert Mara a professor at MLU, and his research team came up with the idea of developing an AI system that applied 3D models. Instead of photos, the researchers first used 3D models of nearly 2,000 cuneiform tablets, including around 50 from a collection at MLU, achieving significantly more dependable results than previous methods. The new system deciphers characters better than previous methods. In principle, the AI system works along the same lines as OCR software, which turns the images of writing and text into machine-readable text. “OCR usually works with photographs. This is no problem for ink on paper. In the case of cuneiform tablets, however, things are more difficult because the lighting conditions greatly influence how well certain characters can be recognized,” explains Mara. The team trained the new AI software and did succeed in recognizing the symbols on the tablets. “We were surprised to find that our system works so well with these tablets, which are heavily weathered,” says Mara. The work by the researchers makes a major step forward in the study of ancient writing systems and opens up many new lines of scientific exploration. Up until now, it can only translate symbols from two languages. However, a total of twelve cuneiform languages are known to exist. In the future, the software could also help to decipher weathered inscriptions (碑文), for example in cemeteries, which are three-dimensional like cuneiform. 12. What do we-know about cuneiform tablets? A. They are greatly damaged over time. B. They record many prehistoric stories. C. They show big progress in writing. D. They are quite small in number. 13. What is special about the new AI system? A. It uses OCR software. B. It is based on 3D models. C. It can translate 12 languages. D. It can turn texts into symbols. 14. What impressed Mara during the research? A. The difficulty in saving cuneiform tablets. B. The discovery of a new writing system. C. The achievements in computer science. D. The effectiveness of the new AI system. 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. 3D models are useful in researches B. OCR software deciphered cuneiform C. AI software helps read ancient symbols D. Scientists use AI to find cuneiform tablets 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由马丁·路德大学哈勒-维滕贝格和美因茨应用科学大学的一个团队开发的一种新的人工智能软件可以破译被严重风化的楔形文字碑上的两种文字的事情。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, they are heavily weathered and thus difficult to decipher.(然而，它们被严重风化，因此难以破译)”可知，楔形文字碑随着时间被严重地破坏了。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead of photos, the researchers first used 3D models of nearly 2,000 cuneiform tablets, including around 50 from a collection at MLU, achieving significantly more dependable results than previous methods.(研究人员首先使用了近2000块楔形文字的3D模型，而不是照片，其中包括MLU收集的大约50块，获得了比以前的方法更可靠的结果)”可推知，新的AI系统的特别之处是它基于3D模型。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““We were surprised to find that our system works so well with these tablets, which are heavily weathered,” says Mara.(玛拉说：“我们惊讶地发现，我们的系统在这些风化严重的平板电脑上运行得如此之好。”)”可知，在研究过程中，系统在这些风化严重的平板电脑上运行得如此之好。由此推知，给玛拉留下了深刻的印象的是新人工智能系统的有效性。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“A new artificial intelligence (AI) software is now able to explain difficult-to-read texts. (一种新的人工智能(AI)软件现在能够解释难以阅读的文本)”可知，本文主要介绍了人工智能软件帮助阅读古代符号的事情。故选C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。 We all know that fish tanks bring comfort and peace for adults—or at least, we are in a better mood after staring at our fish for a while.

Actually 44. used 45. to protect 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了毛笔的意义、起源以及对毛笔制作技艺的保护。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：也许毛笔是人类发明的为数不多的工具之一，几个世纪以来，它既实用又具有丰富的象征意义。is为be动词，所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语the few tools和invent之间是被动关系，应用过去分词，作后置定语。故填invented。 【37题详解】 考查名词的数。句意参考上题。century意为“世纪”，为可数名词。空前没有限定词修饰，这里表示几个世纪以来，应用名词复数。over centuries意为“几个世纪以来”。故填centuries。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：它不仅表达了普通人的感情，而且记录了历史，创造了这种文化中最精致的艺术和文学，极大地影响了中华文明的发展道路。not only...but also...连接了并列的谓语结构，而后面的greatly influence the development path of Chinese civilization与前面没有连词连接，且这里表示自然而然的结果，应用现在分词作结果状语。故填influencing。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：毛笔不仅是中国文化的代表，也是中国文化的创造者。根据空前的the和空后的of Chinese culture可知，毛笔具有书写功能，这里指毛笔是中国文化的创造者，creator意为“创造者”，为可数名词。这里表示特指，应用名词单数。故填creator。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：蒙恬是秦国的大将军，长期以来被认为是毛笔的始祖。consider...as...意为“认为……是……”，为固定搭配，这里是其被动表达。故填as。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：他看到一只倒霉兔子的尾巴在地上留下了血迹，这启发了他制作历史上第一支中国毛笔。根据空后的unlucky rabbit可知，这里泛指一只倒霉的兔子，且unlucky的发音以元音音素开头，所以应用不定冠词an。故填an。 【42题详解】 考查定语从句。句意参考上题。空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面的句子，且在从句中作主语，所以应用which引导。故填which。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：事实上，中国毛笔的历史至少可以追溯到6000年前。空处应用副词，修饰整个句子。actually意为“实际上”。故填Actually。 【44题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：考古证据表明，6000多年前，居住在今天陕西西安以东10公里的半坡遗址的人们用毛刷绘制图案和线条。在that引导的宾语从句中，主语为people，空处为谓语。结合时间状语“more than 6,000 years ago”可知，这里表示过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填used。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了保护这一古老的工艺，湖州毛笔的制作工艺——湖笔于2006年被列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产。an effort to do...意为“做……的努力”，不定式作后置定语。故填to protect。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分 15分） 46. 假定你是李华，作为交换生正在英国某中学学习。学校拟举办国际文化节，请你给活动负责老师Mr. Brown写一封邮件，申请担任活动志愿者，内容包括： 1. 写信目的； 2. 你的优势； 3. 期待答复。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 参考词汇: apply（vi. ）申请 Dear Mr. Brown, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mr. Brown, I am Li Hua an exchange student from China.

I lived in a peaceful village surrounded by mountains and the people there were nice to me. One day, I decided to go for a walk in the nearby forest. I had my backpack prepared with water, food, and sunscreen. I was excited to spend some time in nature to enjoy the fresh air and peace. The forest was attractive, with towering trees that seemed to touch the sky and colorful wild flowers under my feet. I walked deeper into the woods, attracted by the pleasant sounds of birds. The path I followed was winding and narrow, but I paid little attention, carried away by the beauty unfolding in front of me. I started to notice that the trees around me looked unfamiliar(陌生的). Soon I found myself lost. I realized that I had no idea which way to go. The sun was setting and I knew that I needed to find a way out before it got dark. I started walking, trying to remember which direction I had come from. But the forest was a maze(迷宫) of winding paths, and I soon found myself going in circles. Every tree looked the same, and every path seemed to lead nowhere. The sound of leaves made me jump. Was it a wild animal? Or worse, a person? My heart was racing and I tried to stay calm as I listened for other sounds. But there was only silence, broken now and then by the distant calls of birds. As the sun set, I fully understood the seriousness of my situation. There was no food or water left. I was hungry, thirsty and worse still, completely alone, lost in a wilderness that could easily devour(吞噬) me. I walked nervously, tripping over things in my path, feeling frightened with racing heartbeats. Hours passed, or maybe only minutes. Time had lost all meaning in this place. 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 was about to give up hope when I saw a weak light in the distance. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The house owner welcomed me inside. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I was about to give up hope when I saw a weak light in the distance. I felt a surge of hope and started running towards it. As I got closer I realized it was a small house. I knocked on the door, hoping someone would answer. After a few moments, the door opened, and an old man appeared. I explained my situation to him, and he kindly invited me inside. The house owner welcomed me inside. He gave me some food and water, and I felt grateful for his kindness. We sat by the fire and talked for a while. He told me that he lived alone in the forest and knew the area well. He offered to show me the way out in the morning. I spent the night at his house, feeling relieved and safe. The next day, he guided me out of the forest, and I was able to return to the village. This experience taught me the importance of never giving up hope in difficult situations. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。一个夏日，作者独自前往附近的森林散步，森林里的美妙让作者逐渐深入，结果迷失了方向。天色渐晚，作者的食物和水都没了，而且独自一人在森林里是非常危险的。作者内心感到非常恐慌，而就在作者放弃希望的时候，作者看到了希望，后来在一位老人的帮助下成功返回。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“我正要放弃希望，这时我看到远处微弱的光线。”可知，第一段可以描写作者顺着光线找到了一座房子。 ②由续写第二段首句“房主欢迎我进去。”可知，第二段可以描写房主给作者提供了帮助，让作者成功返回。 2. 段落续写：看到远处的光线——朝光线跑去——看到一所房子——敲门受邀进屋——房主提供帮助——成功走出森林 3. 词汇激活 行动类 ①走近：get closer/approach ②出现：appear/show up ③返回：return to/go back to 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful/thankful ②感到放心：feel relieved/feel reassured 【点睛】【高分句型1】As I got closer, I realized it was a small house.(使用了As引导时间状语从句、省略that的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】I knocked on the door, hoping someone would answer.
