His passion to help people was clear from the age of eight, and he traveled with his Egyptian mother to north Africa during summer holidays. There his mother organized homework clubs and English lessons for local children. James witnessed the awful effect of desertification (沙漠化). When he was eight, he learned in Egypt that within 5 years, rich farmers could become worse off, and in 10 years they would be in poverty, due to the fact that a decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the droughts have led to an estimated 90% of Egyptian agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Consequently, he wanted to stop the Sahara Desert from desertification and make the land fertile again. James believed that the current farming practices needed to be changed in Egypt. He was confident that small changes can bring large returns if farmers were able to plant sustainable crops, using new technologies for watering and using natural fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals. In 2019, James pursued his dream to fight against the desertification. He moved to Egypt, then set up a programme named One for All to carry his sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I’d like to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities wherever they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water like them.” By September 2021, more than 120, 000 trees had been planted on 25 farms, with farmers recording a 70% survival rate. James estimated that nearly 4 million trees would be needed to protect Egyptian farmland. He expects to plant 1 million trees by 2025. In the next couple of years, James hopes to extend the programme to other countries. 24. How did the summer holiday trips to Egypt influence James? A. They made him decide to leave the country. B. They lit up his passion for helping others. C. They helped him better understand his mother. D. They destroyed his dream of being a teacher. 25. Why did James set up One for All in Egypt? A. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. B. To create job opportunities for young people. C. To help the children gain education on agriculture. D. To promote the protection of Egyptian farmland. 26. Which of the following may best describe James? A. Devoted and caring. B. Demanding and creative. C. Easygoing and carefree. D. Humorous and passionate. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Purifying Water for Drinking B. Planting Trees against Drought C. Holding back the Sahara D. Fighting Poverty in South Africa C You try to keep your eyes wide open while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink of an eye. But in fact humans blink about 15 times per minute on average. Have you ever missed anything because you blinked? Probably not. Why is that? According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink. It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption. In order to understand how this works, a group of scientists at the German Primate Center and the University Medical Center Gottingen in Germany conducted an experiment. In the study, the participants were asked to look at patterns on a screen whose direction could be interpreted in different ways, such as horizontally(水平地) or vertically(垂直地). When one pattern was about to disappear and the next one was about to come, the participants had to indicate the direction that the next pattern would appear. The researchers found that when the directions of two patterns didn’t match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction. “The medial prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层) adjusts current visual information with previously obtained information, and thus enables us to perceive the world with more stability, even when we briefly close our eyes to blink, ” Caspar Schwiedrzik explained in Science Daily. He is the first author of the study and also a scientist at the German Primate Center. 28. We don’t miss anything when blinking because our brain can ________. A. deal with the missing image B. remember all that we see C. imagine what our eyes miss D. put our pieces of memory together 29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Our brain. B. Visual information. C. Current Biology. D. The temporary darkness. 30 What do we know about the experiment? A. The two patterns appear at the same time. B. Visual memory can be more activated by similarity. C. Participants can interpret patterns differently. D. The different directions activated visual memory. 31. What would be the best title for this passage? A. The Brain’s Structure B. The Brain’s Activated Patterns C. The Brain’s Special Skill D. The Brain’s Reaction D Perhaps some girls are wondering whether their kitties can see colors. The simple answer is yes, but the detailed answer is much more interesting. To help you understand how your cat sees, it’s helpful to understand how our eyes work. It’s the eye and brain working together that turn light into color. Our eyes can react to the light and send signals to the brain. Those signals are translated into colors. The amount of three primary colors — red, blue, and green determines the final color your brain registers. It’s thought that people can see as many as one million colors. Both people and cats have three different types of cones (视锥细胞), allowing us to see that red, blue, and green. The big difference is that cats have considerably fewer overall cones than people. As a result, they’re not able to see as many different color variations as we are. There’s also a difference in the richness of color they see because they are much less sensitive to changes in light than we are. Compared with humans, cats tend to see blues, greens, and grays best. Cats can easily tell the difference between these three colors groups. However, reds and pinks, and likely yellows, are difficult for cats to tell. However, cats can see much better in low light than we can. They have more rods (视杆细胞) (responsible for detecting motion) than humans, so they better detect small movements that are significantly farther away. Cats have broader surrounding vision since their eyes are set more on the sides of the head. Interestingly, cats can’t see well close, right in front of their face. If you’ve been wondering why your cat doesn’t play well when you shake a toy right in front of them, it’s because they can’t see it. They’re using their other senses to figure out where that toy is. 32 Which may replace the underlined word “registers” in Paragraph 2? A. Imagines. B. Shows. C. Carries. D. Records 33. Why do cats see fewer color variations than human? A. Their overall cones are fewer. B. They have better color vision. C. Their movements are smaller. D. They see better in low light. 34. What colors can cats see best? A. Reds and pinks. B. Blues and greens. C. Yellows and oranges. D. Purples and browns. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Cats see better than us. B. Cats’ cones are different. C. Cats can see differently. D. Cats’ vision is larger than ours. 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。 Ways to keep your brain young Every brain changes with age, and mental function changes along with it. Mental decline is common, and it's one of the most feared consequences of aging. But cognitive(认知的) damage is not unavoidable. ___36___ . Get mental stimulation Through research with mice and humans, scientists have found that brainy activities stimulate new connections between nerve cells and may even help the brain generate new cells. ___37___ Read, take courses, and try “mental gymnastics,” such as word puzzles or math problems that require mental effort like drawing, painting, and other crafts. Get physical exercise ___38___ . People who exercise regularly increase the number of tiny blood vessels that bring oxygen- rich blood to the region of the brain that is responsible for thought. Exercise also spurs the development of new nerve cells and increases the connections between brain cells. ___39___ Good nutrition can help your mind as well as your body. For example, people that eat a Mediterranean style diet that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, unsaturated oils (olive oil) and plant sources of proteins are less likely to develop cognitive impairment and dementia. In this way, both your blood sugar and blood pressure will be in good control. Care for your emotions People who are anxious, depressed, sleep- deprived, or exhausted tend to score poorly on cognitive function tests. Immediate actions should be taken to prevent cognitive decline. Neglecting your emotional well- being can have a profound impact on your ability to think clearly, make decisions, and maintain a high level of mental sharpness. ___40___ . A. Improve your diet B. Improve your blood sugar C. Enough sleep is of great importance for brain D. Research shows that using your muscles helps your mind E. Here are some ways you can help maintain brain function F. Any mentally stimulating activity should help to build up your brain G.

Inside was a little wooden fairy (仙女), sitting in the center of a flower that he’d lovingly carved and painted. On the fairy’s outstretched (张开的) hand was a tiny orange butterfly-“a special visitor from heaven", said my grandpa. “I love it,” I excitedly and happily answered. As a cabinetmaker (木工), my grandpa loved making us gifts, and my sixth birthday was no exception. After he retired at 60, he spent his time making small wooden items, such as souvenir boxes, garden decorations and kids’ toys. They were so popular that my grandpa would even sell them at the markets. But his favourite things to make were more complex designs for my brother and me. Walking us through his working room in the back yard, he let us pick out paint colors for his sculptures. “What would I do without my little helpers?” he’d always smile. When my grandpa sadly passed away in 2020, I was heartbroken. By then I’d grow n up, married my husband Tim, and was pregnant with my first child. “Our baby will never know how great Nick was,” I cried to Tim. But he comforted me that as long as we talked about my grandpa often, he would live on in our hearts forever. So after our daughter Mia was born later that year, I’d tell her stories about her great- grandpa Nick as often as I could. When we moved to a new house earlier this year, I discovered a box full of all the toys he’d made for me when I was a young girl, including the little wooden fairy. Mia would love these. I smiled, thinking how happy my grandpa had been watching me play with his creations. Placing the toys on Mia’s bookshelf in her new room, I smiled at how she loved them as much as I had. In memory of my grandpa, I decided to give the toys a careful cleaning. 注意：1.续写词数应为150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: When I accidentally knocked the wooden fairy off the shelf, I was heartbroken to see the tiny butterfly bad broken off. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: When I intended to put Mia into bed that evening, something caught my eye. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 仁怀市第六中学2024年秋季学期第一次月考试题 高二英语 分值：150分 时间：120分钟 注意：所有试题均在答题卡上作答。 第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分) 做题时,请先将答案划在试卷上。该部分录音内容结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。 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, 并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man want to pay attention to?

His passion to help people was clear from the age of eight, and he traveled with his Egyptian mother to north Africa during summer holidays. There his mother organized homework clubs and English lessons for local children. James witnessed the awful effect of desertification (沙漠化). When he was eight, he learned in Egypt that within 5 years, rich farmers could become worse off, and in 10 years they would be in poverty, due to the fact that a decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the droughts have led to an estimated 90% of Egyptian agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Consequently, he wanted to stop the Sahara Desert from desertification and make the land fertile again. James believed that the current farming practices needed to be changed in Egypt. He was confident that small changes can bring large returns if farmers were able to plant sustainable crops, using new technologies for watering and using natural fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals. In 2019, James pursued his dream to fight against the desertification. He moved to Egypt, then set up a programme named One for All to carry his sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I’d like to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities wherever they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water like them.” By September 2021, more than 120, 000 trees had been planted on 25 farms, with farmers recording a 70% survival rate. James estimated that nearly 4 million trees would be needed to protect Egyptian farmland. He expects to plant 1 million trees by 2025. In the next couple of years, James hopes to extend the programme to other countries. 24. How did the summer holiday trips to Egypt influence James? A. They made him decide to leave the country. B. They lit up his passion for helping others. C. They helped him better understand his mother. D. They destroyed his dream of being a teacher. 25. Why did James set up One for All in Egypt? A. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. B. To create job opportunities for young people. C. To help the children gain education on agriculture. D. To promote the protection of Egyptian farmland. 26. Which of the following may best describe James? A. Devoted and caring. B. Demanding and creative. C. Easygoing and carefree. D. Humorous and passionate. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Purifying Water for Drinking B. Planting Trees against Drought C. Holding back the Sahara D. Fighting Poverty in South Africa 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过主人公的第一视角，讲述有关沙哈拉沙漠中的人们如何通过合作植树造林及可持续化农业来改变埃及沙哈拉沙漠化的现状，进而保护埃及农耕地。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“As a young boy growing up in England, James Jefferson wanted to become a leader to make the world a better place. His passion to help people was clear from the age of eight, and he traveled with his Egyptian mother to north Africa during summer holidays. There his mother organized homework clubs and English lessons for local children. James witnessed the awful effect of desertification (沙漠化). When he was eight, he learned in Egypt that within 5 years, rich farmers could become worse off, and in 10 years they would be in poverty, due to the fact that a decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the droughts have led to an estimated 90% of Egyptian agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Consequently, he wanted to stop the Sahara Desert from desertification and make the land fertile again.(作为一个在英国长大的小男孩，詹姆斯·杰斐逊想成为一个让世界变得更美好的领袖。他乐于助人的热情从八岁起就表露无遗，暑假期间，他和埃及籍的母亲一起去北非旅行。在那里，他的母亲为当地的孩子组织了家庭作业俱乐部和英语课。詹姆斯亲眼目睹了沙漠化的可怕后果。当他8岁的时候，他在埃及了解到，在5年内，富裕的农民可能会变得更穷，在10年内他们将陷入贫困，因为平均降雨量的减少和干旱的增加导致埃及大约90%的农业用地受到荒漠化的威胁。因此，他想阻止撒哈拉沙漠的沙漠化，使土地再次肥沃)”可知与母亲一同回埃及度过暑假的那些年经历，点燃和坚定了James想要帮助世人并使这个世界成为一个更好的地方的愿景。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He moved to Egypt, then set up a programme named One for All to carry his sustainable farming philosophy into action.(他搬到了埃及，然后建立了一个名为One for All的项目，将他的可持续农业理念付诸实践)”以及第四段“By September 2021, more than 120, 000 trees had been planted on 25 farms, with farmers recording a 70% survival rate.(到2021年9月，25个农场种植了12万多棵树，农民记录的存活率为70%)”可知， One for All 项目里涵盖的种树计划，以期退沙还耕，保护耕地。可知One for All的设立初衷应为保护埃及的农耕地。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。通过首段和末段“By September 2021, more than 120, 000 trees had been planted on 25 farms, with farmers recording a 70% survival rate. James estimated that nearly 4 million trees would be needed to protect Egyptian farmland. He expects to plant 1 million trees by 2025. In the next couple of years, James hopes to extend the programme to other countries.(到2021年9月，在25个农场种植了12万多棵树，农民的成活率达到70%。詹姆斯估计需要近400万棵树来保护埃及的农田。他预计到2025年将种植100万棵树。在接下来的几年里，詹姆斯希望将该项目推广到其他国家。)”可以归纳出James自小心怀世界，了解母亲故乡埃及沙哈拉沙漠的沙漠化情况后，立志改善埃及的农耕地，根据第三段“He moved to Egypt, then set up a programme named One for All to carry his sustainable farming philosophy into action.(他搬到了埃及，然后建立了一个名为One for All的项目，将他的可持续农业理念付诸实践)”可知，长大后建立慈善组织，致力于推广可持续性农业实践，植树造林，阻止沙漠化。为了达成这个目的，James Jefferson没有一天放弃过努力，可知人物的个性应该是 devoted (有奉献精神的)和caring (有同情心的，关爱的)。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段“When he was eight, he learned in Egypt that within 5 years, rich farmers could become worse off, and in 10 years they would be in poverty, due to the fact that a decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the droughts have led to an estimated 90% of Egyptian agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.

But in fact, humans blink about 15 times per minute on average. Have you ever missed anything because you blinked? Probably not. Why is that? According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink. It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption. In order to understand how this works, a group of scientists at the German Primate Center and the University Medical Center Gottingen in Germany conducted an experiment. In the study, the participants were asked to look at patterns on a screen whose direction could be interpreted in different ways, such as horizontally(水平地) or vertically(垂直地). When one pattern was about to disappear and the next one was about to come, the participants had to indicate the direction that the next pattern would appear. The researchers found that when the directions of two patterns didn’t match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction. “The medial prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层) adjusts current visual information with previously obtained information, and thus enables us to perceive the world with more stability, even when we briefly close our eyes to blink, ” Caspar Schwiedrzik explained in Science Daily. He is the first author of the study and also a scientist at the German Primate Center. 28. We don’t miss anything when blinking because our brain can ________. A. deal with the missing image B. remember all that we see C. imagine what our eyes miss D. put our pieces of memory together 29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Our brain. B. Visual information. C. Current Biology. D. The temporary darkness. 30. What do we know about the experiment? A. The two patterns appear at the same time. B. Visual memory can be more activated by similarity. C. Participants can interpret patterns differently. D. The different directions activated visual memory. 31. What would be the best title for this passage? A. The Brain’s Structure B. The Brain’s Activated Patterns C. The Brain’s Special Skill D. The Brain’s Reaction 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现眨眼并不会错过细节并解释了其原因。即大脑有能力在短时间内保存视觉信息，然后将其组合在一起形成不中断的图像信息。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink.”可知，九月份发表在《当代生物学》杂志上的一项新研究表明，我们的大脑有能力跳过我们眨眼时形成的暂时黑暗。据此可推知，由于我们的大脑能处理丢失的图像，所以眨眼不会让我们错过任何东西。故选A项。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。分析可知，“it”作为代词指代前文提及内容。根据第二段第一句“According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink.( 根据9月份发表在《当代生物学》(Current Biology)杂志上的一项新研究，我们的大脑有能力在眨眼时跳过暂时的黑暗。)”可推知第二句“It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption.( 大脑可以在短时间内保存视觉信息，然后将其组合在一起形成不中断的图像。)”中主语“it”指代上文中的“visual information”。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“…when the directions of two patterns didn’t match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction”可知，当两种模式的方向不一致时，掌握视觉记忆的大脑区域被激活；当两种模式在同一方向时，这个区域显示出较少的活动。据此可知，不同的方向能激活视觉记忆。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文文章结构为总分结构，第一段段末提出本文中心话题“But in fact, humans blink about 15 times per minute on average. Have you ever missed anything because you blinked? Probably not. Why is that?”因而可知本文主要介绍了一项科学研究。研究表明，眨眼不会错过细节并解释了其原因，即大脑有能力在短时间内保存视觉信息，然后将其组合在一起形成不中断的图像信息。C项“The Brain’s Special Skill(大脑的特殊技能)”贴合文章主题，作为标题可以吸引读者。故选C项。 D Perhaps some girls are wondering whether their kitties can see colors. The simple answer is yes, but the detailed answer is much more interesting. To help you understand how your cat sees, it’s helpful to understand how our eyes work. It’s the eye and brain working together that turn light into color. Our eyes can react to the light and send signals to the brain. Those signals are translated into colors. The amount of three primary colors — red, blue, and green determines the final color your brain registers. It’s thought that people can see as many as one million colors. Both people and cats have three different types of cones (视锥细胞), allowing us to see that red, blue, and green. The big difference is that cats have considerably fewer overall cones than people. As a result, they’re not able to see as many different color variations as we are. There’s also a difference in the richness of color they see because they are much less sensitive to changes in light than we are. Compared with humans, cats tend to see blues, greens, and grays best. Cats can easily tell the difference between these three colors groups. However, reds and pinks, and likely yellows, are difficult for cats to tell. However, cats can see much better in low light than we can. They have more rods (视杆细胞) (responsible for detecting motion) than humans, so they better detect small movements that are significantly farther away. Cats have broader surrounding vision since their eyes are set more on the sides of the head. Interestingly, cats can’t see well close, right in front of their face. If you’ve been wondering why your cat doesn’t play well when you shake a toy right in front of them, it’s because they can’t see it. They’re using their other senses to figure out where that toy is. 32. Which may replace the underlined word “registers” in Paragraph 2? A. Imagines. B. Shows. C. Carries. D. Records 33. Why do cats see fewer color variations than human? A. Their overall cones are fewer. B. They have better color vision. C. Their movements are smaller. D. They see better in low light. 34. What colors can cats see best? A. Reds and pinks. B. Blues and greens. C. Yellows and oranges. D. Purples and browns. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Cats see better than us. B. Cats’ cones are different. C. Cats can see differently. D. Cats’ vision is larger than ours. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了猫真的可以看到颜色。但是与人相比，猫在看见事物的机制上有很多特殊之处，比如视网膜的构成，色彩的偏好，以及视域的范围。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“The amount of three primary colors — red, blue, and green determines the final color(三种原色——红、蓝、绿的数量决定了最终颜色)”，以及后文“It’s thought that people can see as many as one million colors.(人们认为人类能辨别多达一百万种颜色)”可推知，划线部分表达“三种原色——红、蓝、绿的数量决定了你的大脑最终记录的颜色)”之意，所以registers应是“纪录”之意，和D项意思相近。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The big difference is that cats have considerably fewer overall cones than people. As a result, they’re not able to see as many different color variations as we are. There’s also a difference in the richness of color they see because they are much less sensitive to changes in light than we are.(最大的区别是猫的视锥细胞比人少得多。因此，它们不能像我们一样看到那么多不同的颜色变化。它们看到的色彩丰富程度也有所不同，因为它们对光线的变化远不如我们敏感)”可知，最大的差异在于与人类相比，猫的总的视锥细胞更少。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Compared with humans, cats tend to see blues, greens, and grays best.(与人类相比，猫更容易看到蓝色、绿色和灰色)”可知，猫最能看到蓝色和绿色。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Perhaps some girls are wondering whether their kitties can see colors. The simple answer is yes, but the detailed answer is much more interesting.(也许有些女孩想知道她们的小猫是否能看到颜色。简单的答案是肯定的，但详细的答案要有趣得多)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了猫看东西的方式不同。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。 Ways to keep your brain young Every brain changes with age, and mental function changes along with it.

Inside was a little wooden fairy (仙女), sitting in the center of a flower that he’d lovingly carved and painted. On the fairy’s outstretched (张开) hand was a tiny orange butterfly-“a special visitor from heaven", said my grandpa. “I love it,” I excitedly and happily answered. As a cabinetmaker (木工), my grandpa loved making us gifts, and my sixth birthday was no exception. After he retired at 60, he spent his time making small wooden items, such as souvenir boxes, garden decorations and kids’ toys. They were so popular that my grandpa would even sell them at the markets. But his favourite things to make were more complex designs for my brother and me. Walking us through his working room in the back yard, he let us pick out paint colors for his sculptures. “What would I do without my little helpers?” he’d always smile. When my grandpa sadly passed away in 2020, I was heartbroken. By then I’d grow n up, married my husband Tim, and was pregnant with my first child. “Our baby will never know how great Nick was,” I cried to Tim. But he comforted me that as long as we talked about my grandpa often, he would live on in our hearts forever. So after our daughter Mia was born later that year, I’d tell her stories about her great- grandpa Nick as often as I could. When we moved to a new house earlier this year, I discovered a box full of all the toys he’d made for me when I was a young girl, including the little wooden fairy. Mia would love these. I smiled, thinking how happy my grandpa had been watching me play with his creations. Placing the toys on Mia’s bookshelf in her new room, I smiled at how she loved them as much as I had. In memory of my grandpa, I decided to give the toys a careful cleaning. 注意：1.续写词数应为150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: When I accidentally knocked the wooden fairy off the shelf, I was heartbroken to see the tiny butterfly bad broken off. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: When I intended to put Mia into bed that evening, something caught my eye. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】  When I accidentally knocked the wooden fairy off the shelf, I was heartbroken to see the tiny butterfly had broken off. Tears welled up in my eyes as I picked up the pieces, feeling a deep sense of loss. This fairy was a precious connection to my grandpa, and now it was damaged. I carefully gathered the broken butterfly and placed it in a small box, determined to find a way to fix it. I knew my grandpa would have wanted me to keep his creations alive for Mia. When I intended to put Mia into bed that evening, something caught my eye. On her bedside table, was the wooden fairy, illuminated by the soft glow of her nightlight. Mia had placed it there herself. As I tucked her in, she whispered, “Mommy, can you tell me a story about Great-Grandpa Nick?” Smiling, I began telling a tale about Grandpa’s woodworking skills and the joy he brought to our family. In that moment, I realized that through stories and cherished objects, Grandpa Nick’s love and legacy would continue to live on, not just in our hearts but also in the hearts of our children. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者六岁生日时，爷爷尼克送给作者一个他亲手雕刻的木质仙女玩具。爷爷擅长木工，常做礼物送给孩子们。他去世后，作者时常向女儿讲述爷爷的故事。搬家时，作者发现了一箱爷爷为自己做的玩具，决定好好保存它们以纪念爷爷。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“当我不小心把木仙子从架子上摔下来时，看到小蝴蝶坏掉了，我伤心欲绝。”可知，第一段可以描写作者。看到蝴蝶被损坏后的心理活动。 ②由第二段句首内容“那天晚上，当我打算把米娅放到床上时，有样东西引起了我的注意。”可知，第二段可以描写木仙子出现在那里的原因和爱的延续方式。 2.续写线索：掉下来—决心修复—引起注意—女儿放在那里—讲故事—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①损坏，破坏：damage/destroy ②收集，聚集：gather/collect ③放置：place/put 情绪类 ①感觉失落：feel a sense of loss/feel lost ②快乐： joy/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Tears welled up in my eyes as I picked up the pieces, feeling a deep sense of loss.
