The Palm Beaches is best-known for great shopping, and it is considered Florida’s Cultural Capital with over 4,000 events each year. The following are must-visits to your trip. The Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens In the early 1900s, Jo Sakai, born in Miyazu, Japan and a recent graduate of New York University, created a community of Japanese farmers. The mission of the Morikami Museum is to engage a diverse audience by presenting Japanese cultural experiences. The Yamato-Kan, which is the museum’s original building, is modeled after a Japanese villa (别墅). The Square Located in the heart of the downtown of West Palm Beach, The Square(formerly Rosemary Square) is a 72-acre destination where you’ll find shopping, dining, and entertainment, as well as a dynamic cultural scene worth exploring. The Square is home to the largest concentration of public art installed by a private company in Palm Beach County. Silverball Museum Imagine you’re about to step into a local museum. What do you expect to see? The Silver-ball Museum is an interactive museum where visitors are encouraged to not only touch the exhibits but to enthusiastically enjoy hours of hands-on fun while learning about the history of each item. Dozens of classic machines fill the room giving a brief history of the machines and special drawings. Where to stay If you’re looking for somewhere bright and good situation for your stay in the Palm Beaches, then you need to experience the Aloft Delray Beach hotel. The new hotel blends special design, modern style and technology for the travellers. Moreover, it’s not just a hotel: close to white sandy beaches, art venues, restaurants, local shopping and a short drive to Boca Raton. 21. What is the Palm Beaches most famous for? A. Its length. B.

B New Jersey school bus driver Herman Cruse noticed that a kindergartner seemed a little sad one morning. When Cruse asked him what was wrong, the boy named Kingsly explained that he wasn’t able to complete his reading assignment because his parents were busy with his four siblings (兄弟姐妹) at home. It was hard to find one-on-one time to practice reading with his mom or dad. An idea popped into Cruse’s mind. He received permission from the 6-year-old boy’s teacher, Alex Bakley, to show up at her kindergarten classroom the following week. When he walked in, Kingsly shouted, “Hey, that’s my bus driver!” “We went into a quiet corner and began reading together,” Cruse said. “He read to me, and I read to him. We read together, and from there, it took on a life of its own. A second student wanted to read to me, then a third.” Now Cruse volunteers to help Bakley’s 18 kindergarten students with reading two days a week, and on a third day, he tutors the school’s first- and second-graders. “I have never wanted to be anything other than a bus driver. Because I live 40 miles away, it doesn’t make sense for me to drive home after delivering students. Instead, I’d hang out at the gym, go to the library or sit in my car and go to sleep to fill up the time,” Cruse said. It wasn’t until he offered to help the kindergartner on his bus last year that he realized there was something more rewarding he could be doing. Kingsly has been more excited about books since he started reading with Cruse. “Kingsly had a rough time with reading at the beginning of the school year, but he’s doing much better because of this fun one-on-one time,” Bakley said. What started out as a way to kill time has now blossomed into a way to make a difference in the hearts of children. 24. Why was Kingsly sad? A. He didn’t get along with his siblings. B. He couldn’t spend enough time reading. C. He had trouble with his reading task. D. He forgot to do the reading assignment. 25. What did Cruse do to help Kingsly? A. He read together with him. B. He worked as a class assistant. C. He organized a reading group. D. He found a quiet reading place. 26. What can we know about Kingsly? A. He has become more active. B. He has gained a sense of achievement. C. He has formed the best reading habit. D. He has improved his reading ability. 27. Which best describes Cruse’s volunteering experience? A. Demanding. B. Meaningful. C. Eventful. D. Boring. C There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing. The relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends. Marina, 27 years old, said, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining(保持) and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of work and technology, which may bring them even closer together. Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse; the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. Sometimes this is not an equal relationship. Daughters don’t always feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. But mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers always “trump(胜过)” friends. 28. What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. differ. B. benefit. C. prevent. D. change. 29. What can we learn from what Marina said? A. Best friends will not spend money on her wedding. B. Best friends will not remind her of important issues in life. C. Her mother is wiser on account of her age. D. Her mother is definitely not her best friend. 30. Why can a mother and a daughter build a even closer relationship today? A. Because they share advanced technology with each other. B. Because they work together to support the whole family. C. Because they experience the same values and traditions. D. Because they have common experience in life and work. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. How to build a good mother and daughter relationship. B. A mother-daughter relationship is irreplaceable. C Mothers want to be daughters’ friends. D. A daughter is a mother’s best friend. D The idea that night owls who don’t go to bed until the early hours struggle to get anything done during the day may have to be revised. It turns out that staying up late could be good for our brain power as research suggests that people who identify as night owls could be sharper than those who go to bed early. Researchers led by academics at Imperial College London studied data from the UK Biobank study on more than 26,000 people who had completed intelligence, reasoning, reaction time and memory tests. They then examined how participants’ sleep duration, quality, and chronotype (睡眠类型) affected brain performance. They found that those who stayed up late and those classed as “intermediate” had “superior cognitive function”, while morning risers had the lowest scores. Going to bed late is strongly associated with creative types. Artists, authors and musicians known to be night owls include Henride Toulouse- Lautrec, James Joyce and Kanye West; But while politicians such as, Winston Churchill and Barack Obama famously seemed to thrive on little sleep, the study found that sleep duration is important for brain function, with those getting between seven and nine hours of shut-eye each night performing best in cognitive tests. Dr Raha West, lead author and clinical research fellow at the department of surgery and cancer at Imperial College London, said: “While understanding and working with your natural sleep tendencies is essential, it’s equally important to remember to get just enough sleep, not too long or too short. This is crucial for keeping your brain healthy and functioning at its best.” Prof Daqing Ma, the co-leader of the study who is also from Imperial’s department of surgery and cancer, added: “We found that sleep duration has a direct effect on brain function, and we believe that actively managing sleep patterns is really important for boosting, and safeguarding, the way our brains work.” 32. What do we know about night owls? A. Night owls struggle to do things in daytime. B. Night owls don’t like sleeping. C. Night owls may be more intelligent. D. Night owls have to stay up late. 33. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning some people in paragraph 3? A. To show they sleep less but perform better. B. To illustrate creation is linked with late sleep. C. To explain the importance of less sleeping. D. To identify which type of person can sleep less. 34. What will Prof Daqing Ma agree with? A Active management of sleep patterns is significant. B. The more we sleep, the better our brain are. C. Our brain function directly relies on sleeping. D. Sleep seven to nine hours a day, keep doctors away. 35. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Sleeping pattern is essential. B. Staying up will make us creative. C. Night owls’ sleeping behavior “better” than early risers. D. Night owls’ cognitive function “superior” to early risers. 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。 Do you ever find yourself studying exceptionally hard for a test but finally not doing so well?

After only a month in school, she began to come home on a regular basis asking for pencils, crayons (蜡笔), paper, etc. At first I just dutifully provided whatever she needed, never questioning her. This went on for weeks. I became concerned and asked her, “Gina, what are you doing with your school things?” She would always respond with answers that satisfied me. One day, after supplying a brand new eraser to her only three days earlier, I became annoyed and angrily asked her once more. Knowing her excuses would no longer work, she bent her head and began to cry. I lifted her tiny chin and looked into those big brown eyes, filled now with tears. I waited impatiently for her to answer. “Mum, there is a boy named John in my class. He doesn’t have any of the school things he needs to do his work. Other kids tease him because his papers are messy and he only has two crayons to color with. Secretly, I’ve been putting the new school things you bought me on his desk,” Gina explained with watery eyes. My heart sank as I stood there in disbelief. She had taken on the role of an adult and tried to hide it like a child. I knelt down and hugged her to me, not wanting her to see my own tears. When I pulled myself together, I stood up and said, “Gina, I would never get mad at you for wanting to help someone, but why didn’t you just come and tell me?” I didn’t wait for her to answer. The next day I visited Mrs. Melton and told her what Gina had said. I then learnt that John’s family had just moved here. John was the eldest of four boys and their parents were struggling to make ends meet. Getting school things for the boys was not their priority. 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。 With Christmas drawing near, I became increasingly concerned about John and his family. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, we set out for John’s home. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2024-2025学年度第一学期十月月考试卷 高二英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

The new hotel blends special design, modern style and technology for the travellers. (如果你想在棕榈滩找一个明亮舒适的地方，那么你需要体验一下Aloft Delray Beach酒店。新酒店融合了特殊的设计，现代的风格和技术为旅行者。)”可知，Aloft Delray Beach酒店很现代化，由此可知，A项“现代的”最能描述Aloft Delray Beach，故选A。 B New Jersey school bus driver Herman Cruse noticed that a kindergartner seemed a little sad one morning. When Cruse asked him what was wrong, the boy named Kingsly explained that he wasn’t able to complete his reading assignment because his parents were busy with his four siblings (兄弟姐妹) at home. It was hard to find one-on-one time to practice reading with his mom or dad. An idea popped into Cruse’s mind. He received permission from the 6-year-old boy’s teacher, Alex Bakley, to show up at her kindergarten classroom the following week. When he walked in, Kingsly shouted, “Hey, that’s my bus driver!” “We went into a quiet corner and began reading together,” Cruse said. “He read to me, and I read to him. We read together, and from there, it took on a life of its own. A second student wanted to read to me, then a third.” Now Cruse volunteers to help Bakley’s 18 kindergarten students with reading two days a week, and on a third day, he tutors the school’s first- and second-graders. “I have never wanted to be anything other than a bus driver. Because I live 40 miles away, it doesn’t make sense for me to drive home after delivering students. Instead, I’d hang out at the gym, go to the library or sit in my car and go to sleep to fill up the time,” Cruse said. It wasn’t until he offered to help the kindergartner on his bus last year that he realized there was something more rewarding he could be doing. Kingsly has been more excited about books since he started reading with Cruse. “Kingsly had a rough time with reading at the beginning of the school year, but he’s doing much better because of this fun one-on-one time,” Bakley said. What started out as a way to kill time has now blossomed into a way to make a difference in the hearts of children. 24. Why was Kingsly sad? A. He didn’t get along with his siblings. B. He couldn’t spend enough time reading. C. He had trouble with his reading task. D. He forgot to do the reading assignment. 25. What did Cruse do to help Kingsly? A. He read together with him. B. He worked as a class assistant. C. He organized a reading group. D. He found a quiet reading place. 26. What can we know about Kingsly? A. He has become more active. B. He has gained a sense of achievement. C. He has formed the best reading habit. D. He has improved his reading ability. 27. Which best describes Cruse’s volunteering experience? A Demanding. B. Meaningful. C. Eventful. D. Boring. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了幼儿园的校车司机Cruse帮助幼儿园的一位小朋友Kingsly练习阅读的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When Cruse asked him what was wrong, the boy named Kingsly explained that he wasn’t able to complete his reading assignment because his parents were busy with his four siblings (兄弟姐妹) at home. It was hard to find one-on-one time to practice reading with his mom or dad. (当克鲁斯问他出了什么问题时，这个名叫金斯利的男孩解释说，他无法完成阅读作业，因为他的父母在家里忙着照顾他的四个兄弟姐妹。很难找到一对一的时间和他的父母一起练习阅读。)”可知，Kingsly伤心的原因是他无法完成阅读作业，故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中““We went into a quiet corner and began reading together,” Cruse said. “He read to me, and I read to him. We read together, and from there, it took on a life of its own. (“我们走进一个安静的角落，开始一起阅读，”克鲁斯说。“他给我读书，我也给他读书。我们一起读书，从那时起，它就有了自己的生命。”)”可知，Cruse和Kingsly一起读书，以此来帮助Kingsly，故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Kingsly had a rough time with reading at the beginning of the school year, but he’s doing much better because of this fun one-on-one time,” Bakley said. (巴克利说：“金斯利在新学年开始的时候阅读是很困难的，但是因为这次有趣的一对一，他做得更好了。”)”可知，Kingsly在阅读方面做得越来越好，由此可推知，他提高了阅读能力。故选D。 27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What started out as a way to kill time has now blossomed into a way to make a difference in the hearts of children. (一开始只是消磨时间的方式，现在已经成为一种改变孩子们心灵的方式。)”可推知，Cruse的志愿者经历是很有意义的，故选B。 C There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing. The relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends. Marina, 27 years old, said, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining(保持) and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of work and technology, which may bring them even closer together. Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse; the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. Sometimes this is not an equal relationship. Daughters don’t always feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. But mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers always “trump(胜过)” friends. 28. What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. differ. B. benefit. C. prevent. D. change. 29. What can we learn from what Marina said? A. Best friends will not spend money on her wedding. B. Best friends will not remind her of important issues in life. C. Her mother is wiser on account of her age. D. Her mother is definitely not her best friend. 30. Why can a mother and a daughter build a even closer relationship today? A. Because they share advanced technology with each other. B. Because they work together to support the whole family. C. Because they experience the same values and traditions. D. Because they have common experience in life and work. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. How to build a good mother and daughter relationship. B. A mother-daughter relationship is irreplaceable. C. Mothers want to be daughters’ friends. D. A daughter is a mother’s best friend. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了母女关系是任何其他关系都无法替代的。 母亲总是胜过朋友。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship.”（然而，母女关系有其独特的特征，区别于友谊）可知划线词所在的句子These characteristics include responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.意思是这些特征包括责任和无条件的爱，这使母亲和女儿无法成为最好的朋友。“preclude”意思是阻止，A. differ不同；B. benefit受益；C. prevent阻止；D. change改变。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段Marina 说的话“I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend.”（我喜欢和我妈妈在一起，但我不认为她是我最好的朋友）可知我们能从Marina所说的话中得知她妈妈绝对不是她最好的朋友。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of work and technology, which may bring them even closer together.”（今天，当代的母亲和女儿还分享工作和技术的经验，这可能会使她们更紧密地联系在一起）可知今天的母亲和女儿可以建立更紧密的关系是因为她们在生活和工作中有共同的经历。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers always “trump(胜过)” friends.”（母女关系是任何其他关系都无法替代的。 母亲总是胜过朋友）结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲了母女关系是不可替代的。故选B。 D The idea that night owls who don’t go to bed until the early hours struggle to get anything done during the day may have to be revised. It turns out that staying up late could be good for our brain power as research suggests that people who identify as night owls could be sharper than those who go to bed early. Researchers led by academics at Imperial College London studied data from the UK Biobank study on more than 26,000 people who had completed intelligence, reasoning, reaction time and memory tests. They then examined how participants’ sleep duration, quality, and chronotype (睡眠类型) affected brain performance. They found that those who stayed up late and those classed as “intermediate” had “superior cognitive function”, while morning risers had the lowest scores. Going to bed late is strongly associated with creative types. Artists, authors and musicians known to be night owls include Henride Toulouse- Lautrec, James Joyce and Kanye West; But while politicians such as, Winston Churchill and Barack Obama famously seemed to thrive on little sleep, the study found that sleep duration is important for brain function, with those getting between seven and nine hours of shut-eye each night performing best in cognitive tests. Dr Raha West, lead author and clinical research fellow at the department of surgery and cancer at Imperial College London, said: “While understanding and working with your natural sleep tendencies is essential, it’s equally important to remember to get just enough sleep, not too long or too short. This is crucial for keeping your brain healthy and functioning at its best.” Prof Daqing Ma, the co-leader of the study who is also from Imperial’s department of surgery and cancer, added: “We found that sleep duration has a direct effect on brain function, and we believe that actively managing sleep patterns is really important for boosting, and safeguarding, the way our brains work.” 32. What do we know about night owls? A. Night owls struggle to do things in daytime. B. Night owls don’t like sleeping. C. Night owls may be more intelligent. D. Night owls have to stay up late. 33. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning some people in paragraph 3? A. To show they sleep less but perform better. B. To illustrate creation is linked with late sleep. C. To explain the importance of less sleeping. D. To identify which type of person can sleep less. 34. What will Prof Daqing Ma agree with? A. Active management of sleep patterns is significant. B. The more we sleep, the better our brain are. C. Our brain function directly relies on sleeping. D. Sleep seven to nine hours a day, keep doctors away. 35. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Sleeping pattern is essential. B. Staying up will make us creative. C. Night owls’ sleeping behavior “better” than early risers. D. Night owls’ cognitive function “superior” to early risers. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现，熬夜对我们的脑力有好处，夜猫子可能比早睡的人更聪明。文章对此进行了介绍。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“It turns out that staying up late could be good for our brain power as research suggests that people who identify as night owls could be sharper than those who go to bed early.(事实证明，熬夜对我们的脑力有好处，研究表明，夜猫子可能比早睡的人更聪明。)”可知，夜猫子可能更聪明。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Going to bed late is strongly associated with creative types.(晚睡与有创造力的人密切相关。)”可知，作者在第三段提到一些人的目的是举例说明创作与晚睡有关。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We found that sleep duration has a direct effect on brain function, and we believe that actively managing sleep patterns is really important for boosting, and safeguarding, the way our brains work.(我们发现睡眠时间对大脑功能有直接影响，我们相信积极管理睡眠模式对于促进和保护大脑的工作方式非常重要。)”可知，马大庆教授会认同积极管理睡眠模式很重要的观点。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The idea that night owls who don’t go to bed until the early hours struggle to get anything done during the day may have to be revised. It turns out that staying up late could be good for our brain power as research suggests that people who identify as night owls could be sharper than those who go to bed early.(“夜猫子”直到凌晨才上床睡觉，白天很难完成任何事情，这种想法可能需要修改了。事实证明，熬夜对我们的脑力有好处，研究表明，夜猫子可能比早睡的人更聪明。)”和第二段最后一句“They found that those who stayed up late and those classed as “intermediate” had “superior cognitive function”, while morning risers had the lowest scores.(他们发现，那些熬夜的人和那些被划分为“中级”的人有“更高的认知功能”，而早起的人得分最低。)”可知，文章主要是讲研究人员发现夜猫子的认知功能“优于”早起者。故选D。 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。 Do you ever find yourself studying exceptionally hard for a test but finally not doing so well?

After only a month in school, she began to come home on a regular basis asking for pencils, crayons (蜡笔), paper, etc. At first I just dutifully provided whatever she needed, never questioning her. This went on for weeks. I became concerned and asked her, “Gina, what are you doing with your school things?” She would always respond with answers that satisfied me. One day, after supplying a brand new eraser to her only three days earlier, I became annoyed and angrily asked her once more. Knowing her excuses would no longer work, she bent her head and began to cry. I lifted her tiny chin and looked into those big brown eyes, filled now with tears. I waited impatiently for her to answer. “Mum, there is a boy named John in my class. He doesn’t have any of the school things he needs to do his work. Other kids tease him because his papers are messy and he only has two crayons to color with. Secretly, I’ve been putting the new school things you bought me on his desk,” Gina explained with watery eyes. My heart sank as I stood there in disbelief. She had taken on the role of an adult and tried to hide it like a child. I knelt down and hugged her to me, not wanting her to see my own tears. When I pulled myself together, I stood up and said, “Gina, I would never get mad at you for wanting to help someone, but why didn’t you just come and tell me?” I didn’t wait for her to answer. The next day I visited Mrs. Melton and told her what Gina had said. I then learnt that John’s family had just moved here. John was the eldest of four boys and their parents were struggling to make ends meet. Getting school things for the boys was not their priority. 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。 With Christmas drawing near, I became increasingly concerned about John and his family. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, we set out for John’s home. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: With Christmas drawing near, I became increasingly concerned about John and his family. I knew that the holiday season could be particularly tough for those facing financial hardships, and I wanted to do something to help. I discussed with Gina about how we could make a difference for John and his siblings, and she was eager to contribute in any way she could. We organized a small fundraiser at a local community center, inviting neighbors and friends to donate food, drinks, school supplies and toys. The next morning, we set out for John’s home. Armed with bags full of donated items, we knocked on the door with a mixture of nervousness and excitement. When John’s mother opened the door, her eyes widened in surprise. We explained our visit and handed over the donations, assuring her that it was a community effort. She was tearful as she thanked us, expressing how much this meant to her family. Gina beamed with pride, knowing that she had played a part in bringing joy to someone else’s Christmas. From that day on, Gina learned that sometimes, the best way to help is by working together with others, and that sharing the burden can lighten the load for everyone. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的女儿Gina上了四年级后，开始频繁回家索要学习用品。作者最初未加怀疑，仅是提供所需物品。随着时间推移，作者开始担心并询问Gina，而Gina总是给出令人满意的回答。一天，作者因频繁提供新橡皮擦而感到恼火，再次询问Gina。Gina终于坦白，她在帮助班上的一个名叫John的男孩，因为他缺乏学习用品，其他孩子因此取笑他。作者被John的善举感动，询问Gina为什么不直接告诉她。第二天，作者拜访了老师，了解到John的家庭最近搬来，经济困难，无法为孩子们提供足够的学习用品。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着圣诞节的临近，我越来越担心John和他的家人”可知，第一段可描写作者担心John一家的节日会变得难熬，以及作者和Gina一同想办法为John一家筹集东西。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，我们出发去John家”可知，第二段可描写作者和Gina向John一家送出筹集到的东西，他们表示感谢，以及Gina从这件事中得到的感悟。 2. 续写线索：圣诞节临近——作者担心——作者和Gina努力提供帮助——作者和Gina去John家——作者和Gina送出帮助——Gina的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①面临：face/confront ②讨论：discuss/talk ③解释：explain/clarify ④表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/tension ②兴奋：excitement/thrill ③惊讶：surprise/amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1] I discussed with Gina about how we could make a difference for John and his siblings, and she was eager to contribute in any way she could.
