The game is popular both in cities and rural areas. C. Men and women can battle 1VS1 in the same game. D. Athletes who perform creatively may get high scores. 2. What do the four sporting events have in common? A. They are all performed outdoors. B. Their venues must meet strict requirements. C. They give fair opportunities to men and women. D. They are all easily influenced by bad weather. 3. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A poster. B. A website. C. A brochure. D. A magazine. B One by one prejudices are disappearing in the West. People may hold private suspicions that other people’s race or sex makes them inferior — but to say so openly is totally taboo (禁忌). One old prejudice remains undisturbed, though. Just ask a childless person. They are not charged to special taxes, as they were in Soviet Russia; nor are they driven from their homes, as they still are in some poor countries. The childless nonetheless come in for a lot of criticism. Some point out that non-parents are failing to produce the future workers who will pay for their pensions. Childless politicians are charged with not having a proper stake in society. “He talks to us about the future, but he doesn’t have children!” complained Jean-Marie Le Pen, co-founder of the National Front party, of Emmanuel Macron, who went on to win the French presidency. Similar attacks on Theresa May and Angela Merkel also failed but researchers find that many voters quietly agree. If non-breeders are selfish, they have a strange way of showing it. They are more likely to set up charitable foundations than people with children, and much more likely to donate money to good causes. According to one American estimate, the mere fact of not having children raises the amount a person leaves to charity by a little over $10,000. The childless are thus a small but useful counterweight to the world’s parents, who stop social stability by passing on their social and economic advantages to their children. The charge that childless people fail to pull their weight in population is correct, but is less serious than it appears. Those who do not have children do put pressure on public pension systems. Governments have to do unpopular things like making pensions less generous, as Japan has done, or accepting more immigrants, as some Western countries have done. But to sustain public pensions in the long term, countries do not actually need more parents. What they need instead is more babies. It is possible to combine a high rate of childlessness with a high birth rate, provided people who become parents have more than one or two children. That was the pattern in many Western countries a century ago. Ireland, yet another country with a childless leader, still manages it today. The childless also do everyone else a favor by creating wonderful works of art. British novelists have been especially likely to have no offspring: think of Hilary Mantel, P.G Wodehouse and the Bronte sisters. In September last year Britain put Jane Austen on its ten-pound note. That decision was controversial, though it was hard to see why. Few people have written as shrewdly about money or about families even though Austen did not marry, and had no children. 4. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The childless often come under sharp criticism. B. Childlessness is to future workers’ disadvantage. C. Many highly successful people have no children D. The childless politicians get attacked in society. 5. The childless are prejudiced because people think the childless ______. A. have a strange way to show selfishness B. set a bad example for young people C. are not as generous as those with children D. are the government’s financial burden 6 What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Accepting more immigrants. B. Reducing the pensions for the aged. C. Encouraging parents to have more children. D. Supporting the political leaders with no children. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. In defense of the childless. B. Prejudice against non-breeders. C. Why don’t they have children? D. Measures to address childlessness. C The estimated number of monarch butterflies migrating (迁徙) to Mexico for winter has reached its second - lowest level ever for the 2023 to 2024 overwintering season. The estimate, based on the size of the butterflies’ hibernating forest area, has dropped by about 59% from the previous year, according to officials. Experts are pointing to extensive heat and drought as well as climate change for the major decline. Now monarch butterflies face three primary threats, including habitat loss for their breeding and overwintering; the use of pesticides, which can be toxic (有毒的) to the butterflies or can kill their food source, milkweed; and climate change, which can shift their migratory patterns. By the 2022 to 2023 overwintering season, World Wildlife Fund reported a 22% drop in the amount of overwintering monarch butterflies in Mexico. According to WWF, monarch butterflies once covered about 45 acres of forested land in Mexico during their 1996 to 1997 overwintering season. Last year, they covered 5.5 acres. With the 59% decline, the 2023 overwintering season saw the butterflies covering just 2.2 acres, The Associated Press reported. The lowest coverage ever recorded was 1.65 acres from 2013 to 2014. The largest amount of butterflies observed for the current overwintering season were around the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. “This is not the first time we’ve observed changes in the locations of the largest monarch colonies,” Jorge Rickards, general director of WWF Mexico, said in a statement. “It’s telling us that we need to strengthen conservation and restoration measures not only in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, but also outside of it.” According to the Center for Biological Diversity, monarch butterflies have declined by 85% in the past 20 years. The eastern monarch butterflies migrate from Canada and the U. S. to Mexico for overwintering. Western monarchs, which overwinter in California, have declined 99% in the past two decades. In 2020, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service noted that these butterflies do warrant protections under the Endangered Species Act, but there were higher-priority species to consider for listing. Biologist Ryan Drum, who works with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, told The Associated Press that the latest count would be considered this year when officials consider whether to list migratory monarch butterflies as threatened or even endangered. 8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. More butterflies are migrating to Mexico. B. The number of butterflies is getting larger. C. The size of forest area is decreasing faster. D. Monarch butterflies are facing survival crisis. 9. How does the author show us the gravity of the problem concerning monarch butterflies? A. By listing concrete numbers. B. By describing typical scenes. C By interviewing some scientists. D. By making reasonable predictions. 10. What does Jorge Rickards suggest people do? A. Increase the number of the butterfly reserves. B. Observe the changing number of the butterflies. C. Take more actions to protect the butterflies. D. Distinguish eastern butterflies from western ones. 11. What does the underlined word “warrant” mean in the last paragraph? A. Resist. B. Need. C. Support. D. Provide. D A modern problem of the outdoor lifestyle is how to keep your devices powered. Battery packs are one option, but they have limited use and can be rather heavy. The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices. Last year, the Shine Turbine launched a campaign that was fully funded in a matter of hours, highlighting the level of interest in this innovative product. Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility. While out backpacking or working remotely, the Shine Turbine takes just a few minutes to set up. There are no loose pieces to worry about losing while you f old out the high-efficiency blades and place the turbine on the retractable stand (可伸缩支架). Everything you need is stored inside the container. This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows. Then you can take it with you for more charging later. It can also be pre - charged before you head out using a standard wall outlet. “Wind is the second-largest producer of clean energy in the world, yet most people don’t have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with backgrounds in science and engineering, we set out to create a wind power product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud, or shine,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies. The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup. “To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay. “The simplicity of our design, two-minute setup, and ability to rapidly generate and store power, does just that. It’s a game-changer in allowing people to access wind energy in the wind.” 12. What can we learn about the Shine Turbine from the text? A. It is intelligent and works efficiently. B. It is user- friendly but expensive to buy. C. It is sustainable and convenient to carry. D. It is cost- effective but breaks down easily. 13. What kind of people might need the Shine Turbine most according to the text? A. Emergency rescuers. B. Sea surfboarders. C. Rock- climbing lovers. D. Geological explorers. 14. Why do the researchers create the Shine Turbine? A. Their product obtains financial support. B. They want to gain direct access to wind. C. They attempt to prevent global warming. D. Their desired life promotes green rethink. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Wind: the world’s second clean energy B. Aurea Technologies: innovative pioneers C. The Shine Turbine: a green power product D. Outdoor lovers: environment campaigners 第二节 七选五（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。 For most, the first thing that likely comes to mind when thinking about vitamin C is either an image of orange fruits or its ability to keep your immune system healthy. ____16____.

So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, Albert dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, Albert immediately offered to care for the bird. Albert named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. Albert and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. Albert always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). Albert’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member. In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful! But what then? Albert became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. Albert loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. He wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how? Keep the windows closed all the time? That was not practical.” 注意：1. 续写词数应150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 海安市实验中学 2024届高三第二次月考 英语试题 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。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?

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了2024年巴黎奥运会新增的一些创意运动项目。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据Breakdance下面的“Key Elements: Athletes perform combinations of moves such as the 6-step, and freezes, judged on execution, creativity, and style.(关键要素：运动员完成六步和定点等动作组合，这些要根据执行力、创造力和风格来裁判。)”可知，运动员的表现要根据执行力、创造力和风格来裁判，由此可推测，运动员动作富有创造性，得分会更高，答案为D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Breakdance下面的“Events: Men’s and Women’s singles, with 16 athletes each competing in 1VS1 battles.(赛事：男子和女子单项，各有16名运动员参加1VS1比赛。)”、Skateboarding下面的“Description: A street-inspired sport where male and female athletes perform a variety of tricks on skateboards, featuring two venues: Park and Street.(描述：这是一项街头运动，男女运动员在滑板上表演各种技巧，有两个场地：公园和街道。)”、Sport Climbing下面的“Events: Bouldering, Lead Climbing, and Speed Climbing, with men’s and women’s events in Speed and Combined.(活动：攀石、难度和速度攀岩，包括男子和女子速度和组合项目。)”、Surfing下面的“Events: Men’s and Women’s Shortboard events, where athletes perform technical maneuvers on waves.(项目：男子和女子短板项目，运动员在波浪上进行技术动作。)”可知，四个比赛项目中男女均可参加，故答案为C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。从最后一段中的“And return to home page to find more about Unique Aspects of Traditional Sports.(返回主页，了解更多关于传统体育的独特方面。)”可推知该文出自某网页内容。故答案为B。 B One by one, prejudices are disappearing in the West. People may hold private suspicions that other people’s race or sex makes them inferior — but to say so openly is totally taboo (禁忌). One old prejudice remains undisturbed, though. Just ask a childless person. They are not charged to special taxes, as they were in Soviet Russia; nor are they driven from their homes, as they still are in some poor countries. The childless nonetheless come in for a lot of criticism. Some point out that non-parents are failing to produce the future workers who will pay for their pensions. Childless politicians are charged with not having a proper stake in society. “He talks to us about the future, but he doesn’t have children!” complained Jean-Marie Le Pen, co-founder of the National Front party, of Emmanuel Macron, who went on to win the French presidency. Similar attacks on Theresa May and Angela Merkel also failed but researchers find that many voters quietly agree. If non-breeders are selfish, they have a strange way of showing it. They are more likely to set up charitable foundations than people with children, and much more likely to donate money to good causes. According to one American estimate, the mere fact of not having children raises the amount a person leaves to charity by a little over $10,000. The childless are thus a small but useful counterweight to the world’s parents, who stop social stability by passing on their social and economic advantages to their children. The charge that childless people fail to pull their weight in population is correct, but is less serious than it appears. Those who do not have children do put pressure on public pension systems. Governments have to do unpopular things like making pensions less generous, as Japan has done, or accepting more immigrants, as some Western countries have done. But to sustain public pensions in the long term, countries do not actually need more parents. What they need instead is more babies. It is possible to combine a high rate of childlessness with a high birth rate, provided people who become parents have more than one or two children. That was the pattern in many Western countries a century ago. Ireland, yet another country with a childless leader, still manages it today. The childless also do everyone else a favor by creating wonderful works of art. British novelists have been especially likely to have no offspring: think of Hilary Mantel P.G Wodehouse and the Bronte sisters. In September last year Britain put Jane Austen on its ten-pound note. That decision was controversial, though it was hard to see why. Few people have written as shrewdly about money or about families even though Austen did not marry, and had no children. 4. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The childless often come under sharp criticism. B. Childlessness is to future workers’ disadvantage. C. Many highly successful people have no children D. The childless politicians get attacked in society. 5. The childless are prejudiced because people think the childless ______. A. have a strange way to show selfishness B. set a bad example for young people C. are not as generous as those with children D. are the government’s financial burden 6. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Accepting more immigrants. B. Reducing the pensions for the aged. C. Encouraging parents to have more children. D. Supporting the political leaders with no children. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. In defense of the childless. B. Prejudice against non-breeders. C. Why don’t they have children? D. Measures to address childlessness. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了当今社会对不生孩子的偏见，并认为对无子女者的指控应当驳回，他们的存在为社会产生很多好处。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段第二句“The childless nonetheless come in for a lot of criticism. (尽管如此，没有孩子的人还是受到了很多批评。)”并结合下文可知，本段主要讲述了无子女者常常遭受尖锐批判。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Some point out that non-parents are failing to produce the future workers who will pay for their pensions. (一些人指出，非父母者无法培养出未来的工人来支付养老金。)”和倒数第二段中的“Those who do not have children do put pressure on public pension systems. Governments have to do unpopular things like making pensions less generous, as Japan has done, or accepting more immigrants, as some Western countries have done. (那些没有孩子的人确实给公共养老金系统带来了压力。政府不得不做一些不受欢迎的事情，比如像日本那样降低养老金的慷慨程度，或者像一些西方国家那样接受更多的移民。)”可知，由于无子女者没有生孩子来为养老金系统作贡献，这会给公共养老金系统带来压力，政府不得不做一些不受欢迎的事情。由此可推测出，无子女者遭受人们的偏见是因为人们认为他们成为政府的经济负担。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词it所在句前文“It is possible to combine a high rate of childlessness with a high birth rate, provided people who become parents have more than one or two children. That was the pattern in many Western countries a century ago. (如果成为父母的人有一个或两个以上的孩子，就有可能把高无子女率和高出生率结合起来。这是一个世纪前许多西方国家的模式。)”可知，画线词it指代前文的内容，即一个世纪前许多国家采取的模式是鼓励成为父母的人生孩子，从而兼顾高无子女率与高出生率。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段最后一句“One old prejudice remains undisturbed, though. Just ask a childless person. (然而，一种古老的偏见仍然受人尊敬。问问一个没有孩子的人就知道了。)”引出话题：无子女者遭受偏见；第二段具体讲述了无子女者面对的批判；接下来几段作者分别从慈善、政治能力、人口增长、艺术文学贡献等方面讲述无子女者的贡献。由此可推测出，本文主要指出人们对无子女者的偏见，并为无子女者辩护，由此可推测出，A项“为无子女者辩护”最适合作本文标题。故选A。 C The estimated number of monarch butterflies migrating (迁徙) to Mexico for winter has reached its second - lowest level ever for the 2023 to 2024 overwintering season. The estimate, based on the size of the butterflies’ hibernating forest area, has dropped by about 59% from the previous year, according to officials. Experts are pointing to extensive heat and drought as well as climate change for the major decline. Now monarch butterflies face three primary threats, including habitat loss for their breeding and overwintering; the use of pesticides, which can be toxic (有毒的) to the butterflies or can kill their food source, milkweed; and climate change, which can shift their migratory patterns. By the 2022 to 2023 overwintering season, World Wildlife Fund reported a 22% drop in the amount of overwintering monarch butterflies in Mexico. According to WWF, monarch butterflies once covered about 45 acres of forested land in Mexico during their 1996 to 1997 overwintering season. Last year, they covered 5.5 acres. With the 59% decline, the 2023 overwintering season saw the butterflies covering just 2.2 acres, The Associated Press reported. The lowest coverage ever recorded was 1.65 acres from 2013 to 2014. The largest amount of butterflies observed for the current overwintering season were around the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. “This is not the first time we’ve observed changes in the locations of the largest monarch colonies,” Jorge Rickards, general director of WWF Mexico, said in a statement. “It’s telling us that we need to strengthen conservation and restoration measures not only in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, but also outside of it.” According to the Center for Biological Diversity, monarch butterflies have declined by 85% in the past 20 years. The eastern monarch butterflies migrate from Canada and the U. S. to Mexico for overwintering. Western monarchs, which overwinter in California, have declined 99% in the past two decades. In 2020, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service noted that these butterflies do warrant protections under the Endangered Species Act, but there were higher-priority species to consider for listing. Biologist Ryan Drum, who works with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, told The Associated Press that the latest count would be considered this year when officials consider whether to list migratory monarch butterflies as threatened or even endangered. 8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. More butterflies are migrating to Mexico. B. The number of butterflies is getting larger. C. The size of forest area is decreasing faster. D. Monarch butterflies are facing survival crisis. 9. How does the author show us the gravity of the problem concerning monarch butterflies? A. By listing concrete numbers. B. By describing typical scenes. C. By interviewing some scientists. D. By making reasonable predictions. 10. What does Jorge Rickards suggest people do? A. Increase the number of the butterfly reserves. B. Observe the changing number of the butterflies. C. Take more actions to protect the butterflies. D. Distinguish eastern butterflies from western ones. 11. What does the underlined word “warrant” mean in the last paragraph? A. Resist. B. Need. C. Support. D. Provide. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了帝王蝶迁徙数量下降的现象及其原因。文章通过具体的数据和专家的观点，详细描述了帝王蝶面临的生存危机，并强调了保护和恢复措施的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The estimated number of monarch butterflies migrating (迁徙) to Mexico for winter has reached its second - lowest level ever for the 2023 to 2024 overwintering season. (迁徙到墨西哥过冬的帝王蝶估计数量已达到2023年至2024年越冬季节有史以来的第二低水平。) ”和第二段中的“Now monarch butterflies face three primary threats, including habitat loss for their breeding and overwintering; the use of pesticides, which can be toxic (有毒的) to the butterflies or can kill their food source, milkweed; and climate change, which can shift their migratory patterns. (现在帝王蝶面临三大威胁，包括繁殖和越冬的栖息地丧失；使用杀虫剂，这可能对蝴蝶有毒，也可能杀死它们的食物来源——马利筋；以及气候变化，这可能会改变他们的迁徙模式。) ”可知，帝王蝶的数量急剧下降、栖息地丧失、气候变化等问题表明帝王蝶正面临生存危机。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The estimate, based on the size of the butterflies’ hibernating forest area, has dropped by about 59% from the previous year, according to officials. (据官员称，根据蝴蝶冬眠森林面积的大小，这一估计比上一年下降了约59%。) ”和第二段中的“Last year, they covered 5.5 acres. With the 59% decline, the 2023 overwintering season saw the butterflies covering just 2.2 acres,  The Associated Press  reported. (去年，他们占地5.5英亩。据美联社报道，随着59%的下降，2023年的越冬季节，蝴蝶的面积仅为2.2英亩。) ”可知，作者通过列出具体的数字，来展示黑脉金斑蝶面临的问题的严重性。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的““It’s telling us that we need to strengthen conservation and restoration measures not only in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, but also outside of it.” (“这告诉我们，我们需要加强保护和恢复措施，不仅在帝王蝶生物圈保护区，而且在保护区外。”) ”可知，Jorge Rickards建议人们不仅要在帝王蝶生物圈保护区内加强保护和恢复措施，还要在保护区外也采取更多的行动来保护这些蝴蝶。因此，他建议人们采取更多的行动来保护这些蝴蝶。故选C项。 【11题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“but there were higher - priority species to consider for listing (但有更高优先级的物种需要考虑列入名单) ”可知，这些蝴蝶确实需要得到《濒危物种法》的保护，但是因为有更高优先级的物种需要考虑列入保护名单，所以它们暂时没有被列入。因此，warrant在这里的意思是“需要”，即这些蝴蝶需要得到保护。故选B项。 D A modern problem of the outdoor lifestyle is how to keep your devices powered. Battery packs are one option, but they have limited use and can be rather heavy. The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices. Last year, the Shine Turbine launched a campaign that was fully funded in a matter of hours, highlighting the level of interest in this innovative product. Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility. While out backpacking or working remotely, the Shine Turbine takes just a few minutes to set up. There are no loose pieces to worry about losing while you f old out the high-efficiency blades and place the turbine on the retractable stand (可伸缩支架). Everything you need is stored inside the container. This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows. Then you can take it with you for more charging later. It can also be pre - charged before you head out using a standard wall outlet. “Wind is the second-largest producer of clean energy in the world, yet most people don’t have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with backgrounds in science and engineering, we set out to create a wind power product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud, or shine,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies. The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup. “To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay. “The simplicity of our design, two-minute setup, and ability to rapidly generate and store power, does just that. It’s a game-changer in allowing people to access wind energy in the wind.” 12. What can we learn about the Shine Turbine from the text? A It is intelligent and works efficiently. B. It is user- friendly but expensive to buy. C. It is sustainable and convenient to carry. D. It is cost- effective but breaks down easily. 13.

Feeling sad for the bird, Albert petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, Albert dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, Albert immediately offered to care for the bird. Albert named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. Albert and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. Albert always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). Albert’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member. In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful! But what then? Albert became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. Albert loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. He wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how? Keep the windows closed all the time? That was not practical.” 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。 Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. In the beginning, Lucky seemed fine inside it. He believed he had made the right choice to keep Lucky close and secure. However, as time passed, things took a turn for the worse. After a fully recovery, Lucky wanted to spread its wings and fly in the sky. When all its attempts failed, what Lucky could do was sitting inside the little cage and squawking sadly. Several days later, Lucky refused to eat and drink. Worried and confused, he didn’t know what to do about it. Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son. They told their son, “If you really love Lucky, you should think of how to make it happy.” After careful consideration, Albert opened both his heart and the cage. Lucky was released and flew away. Two weeks later, a wonderful thing happened: Lucky returned, flying around Albert and chirped happily, seeming to say thanks to him. This had happened from time to time since then. Instead of losing a forced friend, Albert had made a permanent one. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了一个小男孩偶遇受伤的小鸟并把它带回家悉心照顾，在小鸟痊愈之后，小男孩不想失去他的这位好朋友，便把小鸟关在了笼子里，失去了自由的小鸟变越来越伤心，最终在父母的开导下，小男孩给予了小鸟自由。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，他买了一个小笼子，把Lucky关在里面。”可知，第一段可描小鸟在笼子里的状况和小男孩的不知所措。 ②由第二段首句内容“知道了这个糟糕的情况，男孩的父母决定帮助Lucky和他们的儿子”可知，第二段可描写在父母的开导下，男孩给予小鸟自由，小鸟时常飞回来，他们成了永久的朋友。 2.续写线索：做出决定——把小鸟关进笼子——小鸟伤心——小男孩不知所措——父母决定帮忙——给予小鸟自由——小鸟回来，小男孩高兴 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①展翅：spread its wings / stretch its wings / extend its wings ②.拒绝：refuse / reject ③.返回：return / go back / get back 情绪类 ①.伤心地：sadly / sorrowfully ②.感谢：thanks / appreciation / gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1].
