In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that live next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helm et while working in the garden. The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties that I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed to grow. What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress. Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it. Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves. Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder. 4. Why does the author wear a bike helm et while working in the garden? A. To protect the injured skull. B. To avoid being hit by the nuts. C. To prevent herself from sunburn. D. To protect herself from falling over. 5. What is the tree’s survival strategy? A. It accepts new plant varieties. B. It attracts beneficial pollinators. C It lets out a poison to drive away pests. D. It produces a chemical deadly to some plants. 6. What is the writer’s attitude towards the walnut tree? A. Pleased. B. Conflicted. C. Curious. D. Disapproving. 7. The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ______. A. It's better to accept than to resist. B. It's better to act than to think C. It's better to compete than to give up. D. It's better to protect than to destroy. C In 1998, I headed from a small town in South Wales to Sheffield University. Sheffield, the UK’s fourth biggest city, had it all — clubs, bars, and theaters. It was a huge contrast to my hometown, which hadn’t had a cinema until 1997. Sheffield had various choices — I thought I’d love it. But I missed the Wye Valley occasionally. Over time, I settled. Now I’ve lived in Sheffield longer than in my hometown. Yet no matter how happy I am in my adopted city, there’s always a desire to return to Wales. The simple answer is that the idea of home doesn’t necessarily relate to time spent in a place — instead, it is about a special connection and a feeling of safety. “Homesickness usually comes from being somewhere that doesn’t quite feel like home,” says psychologist Wendy Dignan. “As humans, we create a safe zone (地带). Some people may not be particularly attached (依恋) to a place, so they always feel safe. However, others’ safe zone might be a particular place, a home, or a familiar person, the absence of which may lead to homesıckness.” There are things you can help yourself if you are struggling with homesickness. Dignan suggests going to the same coffee shop or gym at a certain time to build a pattern of familiarity because, it is a useful tool for overcoming homesickness and building that all-important safe zone. When so much in our lives is unpredictable, it is no surprise that we crave safe zone. I’m fortunate to have a loving family, supportive friends, and a comfortable home in Sheffield, but however much I love my life here, there’s an inner part of me that will forever be in Wales. 8. Which word can best describe the author’s hometown? A. Underdeveloped. B. Well-designed. C. Well-known. D. Overpopulated. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The different types of safe zones. B. The cause for people’s homesickness. C. The value of overcoming homesickness. D. Psychological impacts of homesickness. 10. What does the underlined word “crave” mean in paragraph 4? A. Improve. B. Oppose. C. Support. D. Desire. 11. What can we know from the author’s experience? A. Love often begins in our hometown. B. Homesickness can be easily avoided. C. Hometown means a sense of belonging. D. Never should we leave our hometown. D “Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned to me showing what I’ve described. Welcome to the world of AI image generation, where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示). But closer examination shows oddities. The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction. AI image generation could influence everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Fundamentally, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process. Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate (模仿) the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work. However, a human artist is also adding emotion and slight difference into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same—it can only copy. The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists. There’s already a negative prejudice towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their “work” is as excellent as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughter, but you are no match for professionals. 12. What does the writer think of his image creation? A. Exciting. B. Concerned. C. Unsatisfying. D. Shocking. 13. What do children’s illustrators value most about art? A. The final art work. B. External expressions in art. C. The opposite of reality. D. The journey to creation. 14. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A. The ethical concerns in AI art imitation. B Human artists’ influence on AI generators. C. The superiority of human artworks. D The over-reliance of human on technology. 15. Which of the following best summarizes the last paragraph? A. Art is the mirror of life. B. Rome is not built in a day. C. No man can do two things at once. D. Don’t judge a book by its cover. 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。 Whenever we make a choice, whether it’s as big as getting married or as small as an argument with a friend, we are driven by our values.

A thought comes into my mind and I ask myself: Does this fit my chosen values or those that others have selected for me? ____19____ If you’re an overworked parent who wants to make your kids your priority, make friends with other parents who hold the same idea, so you can exchange support and advice.

All of these push values and beliefs. B. Is your precious time wasted or well spent? C. Your bills actually reflect what matters most to you. D. That might sound rather abstract, but these values are really practical. E. Who you surround yourself with helps you stick to your values and achieve your goals. F.

The value of feedback (反馈) became obvious after I received another ____24____ call months later, “____25____, we decided to offer the job to someone else.” Again I felt ____26____.

Years later, as an interviewer, I treat every interview as an important _____34_____: interviewees invest (投资) effort and in return, I will give them feedback.

We had dozens of restaurant options within a short distance, so we often took advantage of this convenience. On one occasion, I ran out to get some food. I saw the clouds in the distance and decided I could make it there and come back in time, but I was wrong. I was about to leave the restaurant when the rain just poured. The street was flooded within minutes. But I had my little girl and husband waiting for me back at home, and they were hungry, so I knew I had to make a run for it. The owner of the restaurant tried to encourage me to wait inside, but I insisted that I should go. At this point, he grabbed his umbrella and said, "Okay, let's go." Of course I tried to convince him that it wasn't necessary for him to walk me home, but I knew I wouldn't prevent him from doing so. So off we went. We quickly realized that the umbrella wouldn't help much in keeping us dry. He walked me all the way to my apartment building, where he said goodbye and ran back to the restaurant. Getting around the city when you are six months pregnant（怀孕）and have a two-year-old kid can be challenging sometimes. One spring, afternoon, I realized I needed something from the store to finish preparing for dinner. The weather seemed a bit questionable but the store was around the corner so I decided to risk it. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: It wasn't raining when we left so we didn't carry my umbrella. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As we crossed the street the woman offered me her umbrella. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 岭南师范学院附属中学 2024-2025 学年第一学期 开学调研考试 高二年级 英语试卷 考试时间: 120分钟 满分: 120分 第一部分阅读（共两节,满分50分） 第一节（共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Welcome to Epcot’s Festival of the Arts Festival Information Held annually at Walt Disney World Resort, Epcot’s Festival of the Arts involves various activities from viewing art exhibits and participating in interactive workshops to enjoying creative and colorful food dishes.

It was a huge contrast to my hometown, which hadn’t had a cinema until 1997.  (谢菲尔德是英国第四大城市，拥有一切——俱乐部、酒吧和剧院。这与我的家乡形成了巨大的对比，我的家乡直到1997年才有电影院) ”可知，作者的家乡欠发达。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“However, others’ safe zone might be a particular place, a home, or a familiar person, the absence of which may lead to homesıckness. (然而，其他人的安全区可能是一个特定的地方，一个家，或一个熟悉的人，没有这些可能会导致思乡症) ”可知，本段主要介绍了导致思乡症的原因。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Dignan suggests going to the same coffee shop or gym at a certain time to build a pattern of familiarity because, it is a useful tool for overcoming homesickness and building that all-important safe zone. (Dignan建议在特定的时间去同一家咖啡店或健身房，建立一种熟悉的模式，因为这是克服思乡症和建立最重要的安全区的有用工具) ”可知，前文讲述了在某个地方建立熟悉模式，建立重要的安全区来克服思想症，因此推断画线句句意为：当我们的生活中有如此多的事情是不可预测的时候，我们渴望安全区也就不足为奇了。画线词与D项意思相近，故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“The simple answer is that the idea of home doesn’t necessarily relate to time spent in a place—instead, it is about a special connection and a feeling of safety. (简单的回答是，家的概念并不一定与在一个地方度过的时间有关，相反，它是一种特殊的联系和一种安全感。) ”以及最后一段“I’m fortunate to have a loving family, supportive friends, and a comfortable home in Sheffield, but however much I love my life here, there’s an inner part of me that will forever be in Wales.( 我很幸运，在谢菲尔德有一个充满爱的家庭、支持我的朋友和一个舒适的家，但无论我多么热爱这里的生活，我内心的一部分将永远留在威尔士。)”可知，从作者的经历可推断，家乡意味着一种归属感。故选C。 D “Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,” I type into Deep Dream Generator’s Text 2 Dream feature. In less than a minute, an image is returned to me showing what I’ve described. Welcome to the world of AI image generation, where you can create what on the surface looks like top-rank artwork using just a few text prompts (提示). But closer examination shows oddities. The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction. AI image generation could influence everything from film to graphic novels and more. Children’s illustrators were quick to raise concerns about the technology. They say AI-generated art is the exact opposite of what art is believed to be. Fundamentally, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. And simply pressing a button to generate an image is not a creative process. Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate (模仿) the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work. However, a human artist is also adding emotion and slight difference into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same—it can only copy. The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists. There’s already a negative prejudice towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their “work” is as excellent as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughter, but you are no match for professionals. 12. What does the writer think of his image creation? A. Exciting. B. Concerned. C. Unsatisfying. D. Shocking. 13. What do children’s illustrators value most about art? A. The final art work. B. External expressions in art. C. The opposite of reality. D. The journey to creation. 14. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A. The ethical concerns in AI art imitation. B. Human artists’ influence on AI generators. C. The superiority of human artworks. D. The over-reliance of human on technology. 15. Which of the following best summarizes the last paragraph? A. Art is the mirror of life. B. Rome is not built in a day. C. No man can do two things at once. D. Don’t judge a book by its cover. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了人工智能图像生成技术的现状和潜在问题，这种技术生成的图像存在不自然之处且缺乏创造性，违背了儿童插画家对艺术核心的理解，缺少最重要的创作过程，而且会引发一些伦理担忧，同时导致对专业艺术家作品的贬低。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But closer examination shows oddities. The face of the woman in my image has very odd features, and appears to be holding multiple books. And, while there’s an initial thrill at seeing an image appear, there’s no creative satisfaction. (但仔细观察就会发现一些奇怪之处。在我的图像中，这个女人的脸有着非常奇怪的特征，似乎拿着多本书。而且，虽然看到图像出现时会有一种最初的兴奋感，但却没有创造性的满足感)”可知，作者认为这张创作出的图像很奇怪，无法令人满意。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fundamentally, art is all about translating something that you feel internally into something that exists externally. Whatever form it takes, true art is about the creative process much more than it’s about the final piece. (从根本上说，艺术就是把你内心的感受转化成外在的东西。无论采用何种形式，真正的艺术都是关于创造过程而不是最终作品)”可知，儿童插画家最看重的是艺术的创作过程。故选D项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Beyond creativity, there are deeper issues. To create images from prompts, AI generators rely on databases of already existing art and text. This could lead to the creation of images that are intentionally meant to imitate (模仿) the style of other artists, without their agreement. There is an argument that AI generators work no differently to humans when it comes to being influenced by others’ work. However, a human artist is also adding emotion and slight difference into the mix. AI doesn’t do the same—it can only copy. (除了创造力，还有更深层次的问题。为了根据提示创建图像，人工智能生成器依赖于已经存在的艺术和文本数据库。这可能会导致在未经其他艺术家同意的情况下，故意模仿其他艺术家的风格。有一种观点认为，人工智能生成器在受他人工作影响方面与人类没有什么不同。然而，人类艺术家也会在混合中添加情感和细微的差异。人工智能不会这样做——它只能复制)”可知，本段主要有关人工智能生成图像可能涉及的伦理问题，这种生成可能会未经艺术家同意模仿其风格，且无法像人类艺术家那样融入情感和细微差异。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The increasing use of AI will also lead to a devaluing of the work of artists. There’s already a negative prejudice towards the creative industry. People will begin to think that their “work” is as excellent as that created by someone who has spent a career making art. It’s nonsense, of course. You can use your mobile phone to take a nice picture of your daughter, but you are no match for professionals. (越来越多地使用人工智能也将导致艺术家的作品贬值。人们已经对创意产业产生了负面偏见。人们会开始认为他们的“作品”和那些从事艺术创作的人一样优秀。当然，这是无稽之谈。你可以用你的手机给你的女儿拍一张漂亮的照片，但你比不上专业人士)”可知，更多地使用人工智能导致人们进一步贬低艺术创作的价值，但作者认为实际上人工智能生成的作品是无法与艺术创作者的作品相比的，这暗示了艺术创作需要经过长期的训练。因此，B项“罗马不是一天建成的”指做事不能急于求成，只有付出努力并持之以恒，才能取得成功，最能总结本段表达的意思。A. 艺术是生活的镜子；C. 一心不可二用；D. 不要以貌取人。故选B项。 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。 Whenever we make a choice, whether it’s as big as getting married or as small as an argument with a friend, we are driven by our values. Values tend to be single-word concepts like freedom, equality, selflessness, honesty. ____16____ They’re a kind of moral GPS we can use to navigate through life. If you know your values, you have directions that point you toward the people and actions and habits that are best for you. One way to recognize the values by which you live is look at how you spend your money. ____17____ Do you really spend your money wisely? we often have a strange perspective on what’s “worth it”, which doesn’t quite make sense if you reflect on it later. Pay attention to who you talk to, what you watch, and what you do with your time. ____18____ If you’re just going from one day to the next without questioning your values, you’ll be swayed by what everyone else — from your family to marketing professionals — wants you to think. A thought comes into my mind and I ask myself: Does this fit my chosen values or those that others have selected for me? ____19____ If you’re an overworked parent who wants to make your kids your priority, make friends with other parents who hold the same idea, so you can exchange support and advice. Values make it easier for you to surround yourself with the right people, make tough career choices, use your time more wisely, and focus your attention where it really matters to you. ____20____ A. All of these push values and beliefs. B. Is your precious time wasted or well spent? C. Your bills actually reflect what matters most to you. D. That might sound rather abstract, but these values are really practical. E. Who you surround yourself with helps you stick to your values and achieve your goals. F. Without them we are swept away by outside voice instead of following our inner voice. G. When we drive through a new area, we wander aimlessly if we don’t know the directions. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. A 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了价值观对我们的作用和影响。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Whenever we make a choice, whether it’s as big as getting married or as small as an argument with a friend, we are driven by our values. Values tend to be single-word concepts like freedom, equality, selflessness, honesty.(我们做出选择时，无论是大到结婚还是小到与朋友争吵，我们都是由我们的价值观驱动的。价值观往往是一些简单的概念，比如自由、平等、无私、诚实)”以及后文“They’re a kind of moral GPS we can use to navigate through life. If you know your values, you have directions that point you toward the people and actions and habits that are best for you.(它们是一种道德上的GPS，我们可以用它来导航生活。如果你知道自己的价值观，你就有了方向，指引你找到最适合你的人、行为和习惯)”可知，本句继续陈述上文列举的价值观的作用。故D选项“这听起来很抽象，但这些价值观确实很实用”符合语境，故选D。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Do you really spend your money wisely? we often have a strange perspective on what’s “worth it”, which doesn’t quite make sense if you reflect on it later.(你花钱真的很明智吗？我们经常对什么是“值得的”有一种奇怪的看法，如果你稍后反思它，就会发现这是没有道理的)”可知，后文提到了花钱是否明智，可知账单可以反应一些情况。故C选项“你的账单实际上反映了什么对你来说是最重要的”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Pay attention to who you talk to, what you watch, and what you do with your time.(注意你和谁说话，你看什么，你用你的时间做什么)”以及后文“If you’re just going from one day to the next without questioning your values, you’ll be swayed by what everyone else — from your family to marketing professionals — wants you to think. A thought comes into my mind and I ask myself: Does this fit my chosen values or those that others have selected for me?(如果你只是日复一日地不去质疑自己的价值观，你就会被其他人——从你的家人到营销专业人士——希望你怎么想所左右。一个想法出现在我的脑海里，我问自己:这是否符合我选择的价值观，还是别人为我选择的价值观？)”可知，本句主要说明上文“注意你和谁说话，你看什么，你用你的时间做什么”对价值观和观念形成的作用。故A选项“所有这些都推动了价值观和信念”符合语境，故选A。 【19题详解】 根据后文“If you’re an overworked parent who wants to make your kids your priority, make friends with other parents who hold the same idea, so you can exchange support and advice.(如果你是一个过度劳累的父母，想要把孩子放在第一位，和其他有同样想法的父母交朋友，这样你们就可以交换支持和建议)”可知，后文的例子表明，身边的人可以帮助树立和坚持价值观，实现目标。故E选项“你身边的人能帮助你坚持自己的价值观，实现自己的目标”符合语境，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Values make it easier for you to surround yourself with the right people, make tough career choices, use your time more wisely, and focus your attention where it really matters to you.(价值观使你更容易与合适的人相处，做出艰难的职业选择，更明智地利用时间，并将注意力集中在对你真正重要的事情上)”可知，本句主要是在强调价值观的作用，F选项中them指代上文Values。故F选项“没有它们，我们会被外界的声音所淹没，而不是跟随自己内心的声音”符合语境，故选F。 第二部分语言运用（共两节, 满分30分） 第一节（共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Thank you for your participation.

We had dozens of restaurant options within a short distance, so we often took advantage of this convenience. On one occasion, I ran out to get some food. I saw the clouds in the distance and decided I could make it there and come back in time, but I was wrong. I was about to leave the restaurant when the rain just poured. The street was flooded within minutes. But I had my little girl and husband waiting for me back at home, and they were hungry, so I knew I had to make a run for it. The owner of the restaurant tried to encourage me to wait inside, but I insisted that I should go. At this point, he grabbed his umbrella and said, "Okay, let's go." Of course I tried to convince him that it wasn't necessary for him to walk me home, but I knew I wouldn't prevent him from doing so. So off we went. We quickly realized that the umbrella wouldn't help much in keeping us dry. He walked me all the way to my apartment building, where he said goodbye and ran back to the restaurant. Getting around the city when you are six months pregnant（怀孕的）and have a two-year-old kid can be challenging sometimes. One spring, afternoon, I realized I needed something from the store to finish preparing for dinner. The weather seemed a bit questionable but the store was around the corner so I decided to risk it. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: It wasn't raining when we left so we didn't carry my umbrella. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As we crossed the street the woman offered me her umbrella. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 It wasn’t raining when we left so we didn’t carry my umbrella. We quickly crossed the street to buy what we needed in our daily life, chatting happily about the upcoming weekend. We were walking out of the store, bags in hand, when a heavy rain fell suddenly, drenching us in seconds. We wanted to cross the street and get to the shelter of a nearby building, but the traffic lights were red, forcing us to wait. I noticed a young couple watching us from a nearby car. They seemed concerned, and the woman reached for something in the backseat. As we crossed the street the woman offered me her umbrella. I told her my apartment building was just around the corner, but she insisted that I take it. I refused again, saying it was too much trouble, but she shook her head and said the rain had just started to pour. Without further ado, she handed me the umbrella and got back into the car, her husband driving away slowly. Staring at their retreating car, I was too moved to even express my thanks. I went home with the umbrella, carefully put it away in a secret place, and decided to pay it forward when the opportunity arose. It was a small act of kindness, but it left a lasting impression on me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者外出吃饭结果遇上下雨，作者没有带伞，无法回家。结果一路上遇到了很多好心的帮助，作者也决定把善举传递下去。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们离开的时候没有下雨，所以我们没有带伞。”及第二段首句内容可知，第一段可描写去商店买东西回来时被大雨困在半路和注意到了车上的女人。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我们过马路时，车上的女人下了车，把她的伞递给了我。”可知，第二段可描写女人送伞给作者，作者回到家及决定传递善举。 2.续写线索：没带伞——困在路上——年轻夫妇借伞——作者接受帮助——作者感动——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/take notice of ②拒绝：refuse/turn down ③决定：decide to/be determined to 情绪类 ①小心地：carefully/ cautiously ②高兴：happily /merrily 【点睛】[高分句型1] We wanted to cross the street and get to the shelter of a nearby building, but the traffic lights were red, forcing us to wait.
