They’re wedding planners, so there’s a wedding in every episode. However, marriage is a sticky and messy subject in India and elsewhere. So they explore everything that is wrong with the society through the lens (镜头) of these carefully organized weddings. Married by Mistake It’s a movie starring Chloe Bennet. She graduates from business school, goes to Vegas, and marries one of her classmates — and the classmate runs a big supermarket. She ends up getting hired to make the supermarket chain more progressive. The movie is very light and airy and the acting is wonderful. Gran Turismo Kids love it. The audience is full of games who are clearly rooting so hard for Jann — the main character has this life- transforming opportunity to become a real racecar driver. The most interesting thing is a tiny lesson that teaches us not to be pessimistic. To remain cool, calm and collected before big races, Jann would listen to Kenny G’s music. The Speed podcast 50 MPH This is a podcast (播客) called 50 MPH which is a planned 50- part podcast about the making of Speed, a 1994 American action film directed by Jan de Bont. Do 50 episodes sound like a lot to devote to Speed? Yes! But this podcast, which comes from entertainment journalist Kris Tapley, has interviews from the director, the writer, and some of the actors. (We hope that there will be a Keanu Reeves opportunity. ) If you love Speed, there are a ton of attractive details in the podcast. 1. Who stars in Married by Mistake? A. Kenny G. B. Jan de Bont. C. Chloe Bennet. D. Keanu Reeves. 2. Which of the following tells about a racecar driver? A Speed. B. Gran Turismo. C. Made In Heaven. D. Married by Mistake. 3. What kind of film is Speed? A. Musical. B. Fantasy. C. Comedy. D. Action. B Many visual artists have a signature style as unique and identifiable as a fingerprint. For Amoako Boafo, who often paints with his fingers, this seems doubly true. His distinctive paint strokes (笔画) combine the complex skin tones of his chosen subjects, many of whom are, like himself, Africans with global life experiences. Boafo, whose first solo museum exhibition runs at the Seattle Art Museum, was born and raised in Accra, Ghana, and moved to Vienna, Austria, in 2014, where he ran into difficulties, with gallerists unwilling to show his works due to his focus on Black figures. He continued making an effort to create self-portraits (自画像) and people he knew or admired-African people and Black people who have African ancestry, painting a community of sorts during a time of hardship. He also developed his standout approach to figurative painting, which combines areas of bright and noticeable color with his soft and deep fingerpainting. He began posting his art online and caught the attention of artists like Kehinde Wiley the celebrated American artist. The word started to spread. Boafo is now a global art star, with numerous shows at galleries and art fairs, working with fashion house Dior, and several paintings selling for over a million dollars. In 2021, with three of his paintings being launched into space by Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ Kent-based spaceflight company, you might even say Boafo has rocketed to success. And yet a recent phone conversation with the artist from his studio in Accra, which is once again his home base, revealed a well-mannered person who appreciated his success while pointing out all of the luck and preparation that led to it. Seeing so many of his paintings -created from 2016 to 2022-gathered together in an exhibition has helped him remember that “I did not ‘just happen. ‘I did not expect this success but I was hopeful and ready for it.” 4 What makes Boafo’s paintings different from other artists’ works? A. His finger strokes. B. His home country. ss-ess C. His life experiences. D. His traditional style. 5. How did Boafo deal with the difficult situation in Austria? A. By turning to celebrated artists for help. B. By developing a unique painting style. C. By running his art exhibition at home. D. By working with local art galleries. 6 What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the spaceflight company? A. To indicate the price of space travel. B. To show the value of Boafo’s works. C. To introduce an international brand. D. To tell us the advances in technology. 7. What can we learn about Boafo? A. He is talkative. B. He is patient. C. He is determined. D. He is humorous. C Seafloor cables (光缆) carry over 95% of all digital data traffic worldwide, including financial trading information and social media communications. However, how the Earth’s changing climate could impact this vast undersea network has been relatively understudied until now. In a new study published in Earth-Science Reviews, an international team of researchers led by the UK’s National Oceanography Centre(NOC) worked to illuminate this problem by assessing how and where future climate change is likely to impact subsea cables. By analyzing published datasets, the researchers identified regional climate change “hotspots” where threats to subsea cables may become more intense. These include areas in the western Pacific where changes to tropical cyclone (热带气旋) intensity and frequency have already increased cable damage. “In our paper, we conducted the first comprehensive assessment of a range of climate-related threats to seafloor cables across the globe and their landing stations,” says study co-author Thomas Wahl. “Our analysis clearly stresses the need to carefully plan cable routes and landing station locations factoring in a range of local threats and how those are affected by climate change.” When we look at Florida, there are at least 21 subsea telecommunications cables that connect to the Florida coastline, North and South America and the Caribbean, meaning that there will be a breakdown in communications worldwide if a cable is damaged, the researchers say. However, the study identifies the importance of assessing changing conditions, particularly where multiple cable systems share a landing point, as they may be affected by combinations of threats that affect the low-lying Florida coastline, such as sea level rise, and changes in storm activity. “Our reliance on cables that are no wider than a garden hose (软管) is a surprise to many, who regard satellites as the main means of communication,” says lead author Mike Clare, a researcher with NOC. “But satellites simply don’t have the bandwidth to support modern digital systems. The ‘cloud’ is not in the sky—it is under the sea.” 8. What does the underlined word “illuminate” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Find. B. Miss. C. Explain. D. Connect. 9. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The threat of sea level rise. B. The finding of the study. C. The cause of climate change. D. The method of the research. 10. Which of the following best describes Florida in the global network? A. Effective. B. Complex. C. Stable. D. Critical. 11. What can we infer from Mike Clare’s words? A. Subsea cables are more important for global communications. B. Satellites have the ability to support modern digital systems. C. Natural disasters will happen frequently due to climate change. D. There is no need to assess potential threats to seafloor cables. D For Kurt Gray, a social psychologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, conducting experiments comes with certain problems. Before starting any study, his lab must get ethical(伦理的)approval from an institutional review board, which can take weeks or months. Then his team has to hire online participants—easier than bringing people into the lab, but Gray says the online subjects are often lazy. Then the researchers spend hours cleaning the data. But earlier this year, Gray accidentally saw an alternative way to do things. He was working with computer scientists at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence to see whether they could develop an AI system that made moral judgments like humans. But first they figured they’d see if a system from the startup Open AI could already do the job. The team asked GPT-3. 5, which produces human-like text, to judge the ethics of 464 scenarios(情境), previously evaluated by human subjects. It turned out that the system’s answers were nearly the same as human responses. “This is crazy,” Gray says. “If you can just ask GPT to make these judgments, why don’t you just ask GPT instead of asking people?” The results were published this month in Trends in Cognitive Science. Now, researchers are considering AI’s ability to act as human subjects in fields such as psychology, political science, economics, and market research. No one is yet suggesting that chatbots can completely replace humans in behavioral studies. But they may act as convenient stand-ins(替代者) in pilot studies and for designing experiments, saving time and money. Language models might also help with experiments that would be too impractical, or even dangerous to run with people. “It’s a really interesting time,” says Ayelet Israeli, a marketing professor at Harvard Business School who believes the models’ impact on behavioral research could amount to a “revolution”. “Some of these results are just astonishing.” 12. What is a problem facing Kurt Gray at the start of a study? A. Online participants demand higher pay. B. Volunteers dislike the online experiment. C. Preparations take lots of time and effort. D. Researchers lack skills to function in teams. 13. How does Kurt Gray find GPT? A. Demanding. B. Worrying. C. Amusing. D. Satisfying. 14. What is an advantage of language models according to the text? A. They can be applied to cases difficult to study. B. They may replace human subjects completely. C. They will improve people’s well-being. D. They might promote economic growth. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. What Has AI Brought About? B. What Do We Expect of GPT C. Should We Get Rid of Chatbots? D. Can AI Help Behavioral Research? 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。 As a mind-body coach in professional sports, I work with medical staff and expert consultants every year during baseball spring training to help players prepare their bodies for the season. ____16____.

Andy Waters looked up and saw his new neighbor, Francis Frame. “Hello,” he shouted back cheerfully, as he tightened his roller skates. “Do you want to go skating with me, Francis?” Andy asked. “I can’t. I lost my roller skates last fall, and my mother says she can’t afford to buy me another pair just now,” said Francis. Andy looked at his neighbor’s long legs. They were just the right kind, he thought, to make a fast skater. “That’s too bad, Francis, because if you had some roller- skates, maybe you could be in our skating race next Saturday,” he said seriously. “Oh! How do I wish I had some skates!” cried Francis. “I have to go for the training now but I can let you use my skates when I am not using them,” Andy said. When Andy skated slowly toward the end of the block, he thought about Francis Frame. Francis hadn’t lived in the block very long, and none of the other boys knew him. So the new boy was left to himself a great deal, and often seemed very lonely. “Yes,” Andy said to himself, “I ought to do something for him.” As he skated to the empty lot where they usually trained, he met the captain of his team, a large boy called Buddy Bowers. “I stopped for a few moments to talk to my new neighbor,” said Andy. “Don’t you think we could use another boy on our team for the race? That new boy, Francis Frame, I mean?” “We just can’t do it. The other team wouldn’t let us take on an extra boy,” Buddy refused. Soon the training began, but Andy couldn’t help worrying that his short legs would keep him from being a fast skater. On the way home, Andy figured out a way to help Francis and his team. When he told Francis his decision, Andy hesitated for a moment and then replied, “If you truly believe in me and want me to do this, I’ll give it my all. But we have to persuade the captain first.” 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。 The next day, the two boys showed up together. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Francis’s long legs proved to be particularly fit for skating. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 喀什二中高三年级9月月考 英语试卷 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分 120分，考试时间100分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4. 本卷命题范围：高考范围。 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 A Guide to Your Weekend Viewing Made In Heaven It’s primarily about two friends who run a wedding planning company in Delhi.

His distinctive paint strokes (笔画) combine the complex skin tones of his chosen subjects, many of whom are, like himself, Africans with global life experiences.(对于经常用手指作画的Amoako Boafo来说，这似乎是双重事实。他独特的绘画笔触结合了他所选择的对象的复杂肤色，其中许多人像他一样，是拥有全球生活经历的非洲人。)”可知，Boafo作画方式别具一格——不用画笔，而用手指作画。故选A。 5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Boafo, whose first solo museum exhibition runs at the Seattle Art Museum, was born and raised in Accra, Ghana, and moved to Vienna, Austria, in 2014, where he ran into difficulties, with gallerists unwilling to show his works due to his focus on Black figures. He continued making an effort to create self-portraits (自画像) and people he knew or admired-African people and Black people who have African ancestry, painting a community of sorts during a time of hardship. He also developed his standout approach to figurative painting, which combines areas of bright and noticeable color with his soft and deep fingerpainting.(Boafo在西雅图艺术博物馆举办了他第一个个人博物馆展览，他在加纳的阿克拉出生并长大，并于2014年搬到奥地利的维也纳，在那里他遇到了困难，画廊不愿意展示他的作品，因为他专注于黑人人物。他继续努力创作自画像和他认识或欣赏的人——非洲人和有非洲血统的黑人，在艰难时期画出了各种各样的社区。他还发展了自己独特的具象绘画方法，将明亮而引人注目的色彩与柔和而深刻的手指画相结合。)”可知，面对画廊的苛刻，Boafo并未放弃绘画，而是坚持创作并形成自己独特的绘画风格。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Boafo is now a global art star, with numerous shows at galleries and art fairs, working with fashion house Dior, and several paintings selling for over a million dollars. In 2021, with three of his paintings being launched into space by Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ Kent-based spaceflight company, you might even say Boafo has rocketed to success.( Boafo现在是一个全球艺术明星，在画廊和艺术博览会上举办了许多展览，与时尚品牌迪奥合作，几幅画的售价超过100万美元。2021年，Jeff Bezos位于肯特的航天公司蓝色起源将他的三幅画发射到太空，你甚至可以说博阿福已经取得了飞速的成功。)”可推断, 作者在此提及Jeff Bezos的太空公司是为了说明Boafo的绘画作品具有很高的价值。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Boafo, whose first solo museum exhibition runs at the Seattle Art Museum, was born and raised in Accra, Ghana, and moved to Vienna, Austria, in 2014, where he ran into difficulties, with gallerists unwilling to show his works due to his focus on Black figures. He continued making an effort to create self-portraits (自画像) and people he knew or admired-African people and Black people who have African ancestry, painting a community of sorts during a time of hardship. He also developed his standout approach to figurative painting, which combines areas of bright and noticeable color with his soft and deep fingerpainting.(Boafo在西雅图艺术博物馆举办了他的第一个个人博物馆展览，他在加纳的阿克拉出生并长大，并于2014年搬到奥地利的维也纳，在那里他遇到了困难，画廊不愿意展示他的作品，因为他专注于黑人人物。他继续努力创作自画像和他认识或欣赏的人——非洲人和有非洲血统的黑人，在艰难时期画出了各种各样的社区。他还发展了自己独特的具象绘画方法，将明亮而引人注目的色彩与柔和而深刻的手指画相结合。)”可推断，Boafo意志坚定。故选C。 C Seafloor cables (光缆) carry over 95% of all digital data traffic worldwide, including financial trading information and social media communications.

What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The threat of sea level rise. B. The finding of the study. C. The cause of climate change. D. The method of the research. 10. Which of the following best describes Florida in the global network? A. Effective. B. Complex. C. Stable. D. Critical. 11. What can we infer from Mike Clare’s words? A. Subsea cables are more important for global communications. B. Satellites have the ability to support modern digital systems. C. Natural disasters will happen frequently due to climate change. D. There is no need to assess potential threats to seafloor cables. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。由英国国家海洋中心领衔的团队最新研究显示全球气候变化已威胁海底光缆的安全。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“However, how the Earth’s changing climate could impact this vast undersea network has been relatively understudied until now. (然而，到目前为止，地球不断变化的气候如何影响这一庞大的海底网络的研究相对不足。)”及画线句“In a new study published in Earth-Science Reviews, an international team of researchers led by the UK’s National Oceanography Centre(NOC) worked to illuminate this problem by assessing how and where future climate change is likely to impact subsea cables. (在《地球科学评论》上发表的一项新研究中，由英国国家海洋学中心（NOC）领导的一个国际研究小组通过评估未来气候变化可能如何以及在哪里影响海底电缆来 这一问题。)”可推断，画线词illuminate应是“解释”的意思。故选C项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第三段“By analyzing published datasets, the researchers identified regional climate change ‘hotspots’ where threats to subsea cables may become more intense. These include areas in the western Pacific where changes to tropical cyclone(热带气旋) intensity and frequency have already increased cable damage. (通过分析已发表的数据集，研究人员确定了区域气候变化‘热点’，海底电缆面临的威胁可能会变得更加严重。其中包括西太平洋地区，热带气旋强度和频率的变化已经增加了电缆损坏。)”可知，本段主要介绍此次研究的结果。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“When we look at Florida, there are at least 21 subsea telecommunications cables that connect to the Florida coastline, North and South America and the Caribbean, meaning that there will be a breakdown in communications worldwide if a cable is damaged, the researchers say. (研究人员表示，当我们观察佛罗里达州时，至少有21条海底电信电缆连接到佛罗里达海岸线、北美、南美和加勒比地区，这意味着如果电缆损坏，全球通信将中断。)”可推断，佛罗里达州在全球通讯网络中尤为关键。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“ ‘Our reliance on cables that are no wider than a garden hose(软管) is a surprise to many, who regard satellites as the main means of communication,’ says lead author Mike Clare, a researcher with NOC. ‘But satellites simply don’t have the bandwidth to support modern digital systems. The ‘cloud’ is not in the sky—it is under the sea.’ (‘我们对不比花园软管宽的电缆的依赖让许多人感到惊讶，他们认为卫星是主要的通信手段，’主要作者、NOC的研究员Mike Clare说。‘但卫星根本没有支持现代数字系统的带宽。‘云’不在天上，而是在海底。’)”可推断，海底光缆在全球通讯中是更为重要的联通路径。故选A项。 D For Kurt Gray, a social psychologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, conducting experiments comes with certain problems. Before starting any study, his lab must get ethical(伦理的)approval from an institutional review board, which can take weeks or months. Then his team has to hire online participants—easier than bringing people into the lab, but Gray says the online subjects are often lazy. Then the researchers spend hours cleaning the data. But earlier this year, Gray accidentally saw an alternative way to do things. He was working with computer scientists at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence to see whether they could develop an AI system that made moral judgments like humans. But first they figured they’d see if a system from the startup Open AI could already do the job. The team asked GPT-3. 5, which produces human-like text, to judge the ethics of 464 scenarios(情境), previously evaluated by human subjects. It turned out that the system’s answers were nearly the same as human responses. “This is crazy,” Gray says. “If you can just ask GPT to make these judgments, why don’t you just ask GPT instead of asking people?” The results were published this month in Trends in Cognitive Science. Now, researchers are considering AI’s ability to act as human subjects in fields such as psychology, political science, economics, and market research. No one is yet suggesting that chatbots can completely replace humans in behavioral studies. But they may act as convenient stand-ins(替代者) in pilot studies and for designing experiments, saving time and money. Language models might also help with experiments that would be too impractical, or even dangerous to run with people. “It’s a really interesting time,” says Ayelet Israeli, a marketing professor at Harvard Business School who believes the models’ impact on behavioral research could amount to a “revolution”. “Some of these results are just astonishing.” 12. What is a problem facing Kurt Gray at the start of a study? A. Online participants demand higher pay. B. Volunteers dislike the online experiment. C. Preparations take lots of time and effort. D. Researchers lack skills to function in teams. 13. How does Kurt Gray find GPT? A. Demanding. B. Worrying. C. Amusing. D. Satisfying. 14. What is an advantage of language models according to the text? A. They can be applied to cases difficult to study. B. They may replace human subjects completely. C. They will improve people’s well-being. D. They might promote economic growth. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. What Has AI Brought About? B. What Do We Expect of GPT C. Should We Get Rid of Chatbots? D. Can AI Help Behavioral Research? 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文主要探讨在行为研究方面，人工智能可助力科研人员。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Before starting any study, his lab must get ethical(伦理的)approval from an institutional review board, which can take weeks or months. Then his team has to hire online participants—easier than bringing people into the lab, but Gray says the online subjects are often lazy. Then the researchers spend hours cleaning the data. But earlier this year, Gray accidentally saw an alternative way to do things.(在开始任何研究之前，他的实验室必须获得机构审查委员会的伦理批准，这可能需要数周或数月的时间。然后，他的团队不得不雇佣在线参与者——这比把人带到实验室更容易，但格雷说，在线参与者往往很懒惰。然后，研究人员花了数小时清理数据。但今年早些时候，格雷偶然发现了另一种做事方式。)”可知，对Kurt Gray而言，每个研究项目启动之前，都得劳神费力进行准备工作。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“‘This is crazy,’ Gray says. ‘If you can just ask GPT to make these judgments, why don’t you just ask GPT instead of asking people?’(如果你可以让GPT做出这些判断，为什么不直接问GPT，而是问人呢？’)”可推断，Kurt Gray对GPT在实验中的表现很满意。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Language models might also help with experiments that would be too impractical, or even dangerous to run with people. (语言模型也可能有助于进行不切实际甚至危险的实验。)”可知，语言模型可应用于研究难度大的棘手项目。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“Now, researchers are considering AI’s ability to act as human subjects in fields such as psychology, political science, economics, and market research. No one is yet suggesting that chatbots can completely replace humans in behavioral studies. But they may act as convenient stand-ins(替代者) in pilot studies and for designing experiments, saving time and money. Language models might also help with experiments that would be too impractical, or even dangerous to run with people.(现在，研究人员正在考虑人工智能在心理学、政治学、经济学和市场研究等领域充当人类主体的能力。目前还没有人认为聊天机器人可以在行为研究中完全取代人类。但它们可以作为试点研究和设计实验的方便替身，节省时间和金钱。语言模型也可能有助于进行不切实际甚至危险的实验。)”以及上文可知，本文主要探讨在行为研究方面，人工智能可助力科研人员。所以D项Can AI Help Behavioral Research?(人工智能能帮助行为研究吗？)符合语境。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。 As a mind-body coach in professional sports, I work with medical staff and expert consultants every year during baseball spring training to help players prepare their bodies for the season. ____16____.

Andy Waters looked up and saw his new neighbor, Francis Frame. “Hello,” he shouted back cheerfully, as he tightened his roller skates. “Do you want to go skating with me, Francis?” Andy asked. “I can’t. I lost my roller skates last fall, and my mother says she can’t afford to buy me another pair just now,” said Francis. Andy looked at his neighbor’s long legs. They were just the right kind, he thought, to make a fast skater. “That’s too bad, Francis, because if you had some roller- skates, maybe you could be in our skating race next Saturday,” he said seriously. “Oh! How do I wish I had some skates!” cried Francis. “I have to go for the training now but I can let you use my skates when I am not using them” Andy said. When Andy skated slowly toward the end of the block, he thought about Francis Frame. Francis hadn’t lived in the block very long, and none of the other boys knew him. So the new boy was left to himself a great deal, and often seemed very lonely. “Yes,” Andy said to himself, “I ought to do something for him.” As he skated to the empty lot where they usually trained, he met the captain of his team, a large boy called Buddy Bowers. “I stopped for a few moments to talk to my new neighbor,” said Andy. “Don’t you think we could use another boy on our team for the race? That new boy, Francis Frame, I mean?” “We just can’t do it. The other team wouldn’t let us take on an extra boy,” Buddy refused. Soon the training began, but Andy couldn’t help worrying that his short legs would keep him from being a fast skater. On the way home, Andy figured out a way to help Francis and his team. When he told Francis his decision, Andy hesitated for a moment and then replied, “If you truly believe in me and want me to do this, I’ll give it my all. But we have to persuade the captain first.” 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。 The next day, the two boys showed up together. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Francis’s long legs proved to be particularly fit for skating. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The next day, the two boys showed up together. Andy went straight to the captain and asked him to give Francis a chance. Standing there in silence for a while, the captain stole a few looks at Francis’s legs. Then he said with a smile, “I happen to have another pair of skating shoes. Perhaps, we can invite him to train with us. If he can do better and you are willing to help him, he can take your place in the race.” Francis’s long legs proved to be particularly fit for skating. He passed captain’s “test” with ease and was allowed to compete in the race. When the race began, the crowd kept cheering for his skilled and graceful movements. Sure enough, Andy’s team won the race. The boys on the team embraced Francis as their hero and were grateful for his remarkable contribution to the victory. Surrounded by the boys, Francis suddenly felt a sense of belonging. On the way home, he said to Andy, “Thanks for your help, buddy!” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Andy如何帮助他的新邻居Francis克服困难，最终一起参与滑冰比赛并取得胜利的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，两个男孩一起出现了。”以及第二段首句内容“Francis修长的腿非常适合滑冰。”可知，第一段可描写Andy告知了队长自己的想法，希望Francis能够加入滑冰队。 ②由第二段首句内容“Francis修长的腿非常适合滑冰。”可知，第二段可描写队长同意了Andy的请求，而Andy所在队伍也赢得了比赛。 2.续写线索：希望加入团队——给他一个机会——表现非常优异——赢得了比赛——充满感激之情 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①取代：take one’s place/replace ②邀请某人：invite sb/give sb an invitation ③拥抱：embrace/hug 情绪类 ①面带微笑： with a smile/be smiling ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】If he can do better and you are willing to help him, he can take your place in the race.（运用了if引导的条件状语从句） 【高分句型2】When the race began, the crowd kept cheering for his skilled and graceful movements.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
