B When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 4. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A. Scared. B. Worried. C. Discouraged. D. Wronged. 5. In her 30s, the author _________. A. avoided oil painting practice B. sought for a painting career C. fancied abstract painting D. exhibited child paintings 6. Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A. Confusing. B. Empowering. C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Hard work is the mother of success. C. Dreams are the reflections of realities. D. Creative activities involve being confident. C “How do they walk in these things?” complains Jack Lemmon, walking with difficulty in his heels, newly dressed as his another identity Josephine, in the film “Some Like It Hot”. High heels were in fact, originally designed for men — and had an extremely practical purpose. Soldiers on horseback wore them in 10th-century Persia, according to Elizabeth Semmel hack of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. The heel helped keep them stable as they stood up in their stirrups ( 马镫) and took aim at enemies with bows and arrows (cowboy boots still use heels in this way). Over time, heels appeared on the shoes of male nobles across Europe. Yet from the mid-17th century, heels became associated with supposedly “feminine” qualities, and so became women’s wear. Until the mid-20th century heels were heavy, heavy things. After the Second World War, techniques and materials used in aircraft engineering were applied to shoes, creating the stiletto ( 细高跟). The high, narrow heel requires a thin metal pole, strong enough to bear the wearer’s weight yet flexible enough to allow the shoe to move. Shoemakers have searched actively for a right heel. They aim to reduce the angle created by a high heel, which forces the few square centimeteres of the ball of your foot to bear the entire weight of your body. Joan Oloff, a podiatrist-turned-shoe-designer, makes footwear lined with memory foam ( 泡沫) to absorb the shock of each painful step. The bottom part of the shoe is crafted to support the arch of the foot and distribute the wearer’s weight more equally. Antonia Saint Dunbar, an entrepreneur, makes shoes with a heel cup and strips inside to stop the foot slipping around and getting blisters ( 水泡). And growing numbers of companies make shoes with adjustable heels: two inches for the boardroom, four for the nightclub, none for home. However, the wisest are stepping down altogether: in 2016, for the first time, more British women bought trainers than heels. 8. Why is a scene in “Some Like It Hot” mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To recommend this film. B. To explain Jack’s double identity. C. To introduce the topic of high heels. D. To stress the difficulty of walking in heels. 9. How does Paragraph 2 mainly develop? A. By presenting research findings. B. By analyzing cause and effect. C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance. 10. What was the original purpose of high heels? A To keep soldiers fighting on horseback steady. B. To keep cowboys standing up in stirrups safe. C To show off the beauty of women. D. To show the nobility of Europeans. 11. What have shoemakers tried their best to do? A. Popularize shoes with adjustable heels. B. Help women find the right high heels. C. Encourage women to wear trainers. D. Make high heels comfortable. D Plant- based leathers have the potential to revolutionize the fashion industry. Now, MycoWorks, a California based biotech company, has created a new eco-friendly, vegetal leather derived from mushrooms. The leather turns mycelium (菌丝体) — threads from the root structure of mushrooms — into a material that imitates the look and feel of an animal- based leather. “It’s the first time that a company has been able to produce a vegetal product which is matching or even exceeding the quality and durability of a natural one. It’s a super achievement,” Patrick Thomas, former Hermés CEO and a member of MycoWorks board of directors, said in a statement. MycoWorks creates this special material by using engineered mycelium cells. As the cells grow into 3D structures, they become densely intertwined (交织的), eventually forming a tough material, called Fine Mycelium, which has the strength, durability and performance of the traditional leather. The result differs from other vegetal leathers made with mushrooms. Most mushroom leathers are made from compressed solid foam that mycelium forms naturally, but without engineering, they lack the same look and feel as an animal-based leather. Fine Mycelium can grow in trays (托盘). These trays can be designed to fit a designer’s exact specifications, avoiding any waste. After Fine Mycelium is harvested, it is tanned (鞣色) and finished to look and feel like an animal leather. Last year, luxury fashion brand Hermés debuted (推出（新产品）；首演) their Victoria bag, which featured MycoWork’s Fine Mycelium material. Other companies, including Adidas with their Mylo-made Stan Smith shoes and Lululemon with their mushroom-based yoga products, have also jumped on the eco-friendly trend. The use of plant-based leathers comes during a time when scientists and innovators are trying to come up with solutions for the climate crisis and animal agriculture. Environmentally manufacturing animal-based leathers creates havoc because of deforestation and methane (甲烷) emissions connected to the animals raised for leathers. However, some experts criticize the new mushroom-based leather because it is currently only available as a rare item. For the material to be a truly sustainable option and make a major impact, it would need to be more accessible. They question whether the company can provide designers with enough material to create their products. 12. What is special about MycoWorks’ new leather? A. It is the first to be made from mycelium. B. It is an eco-friendly and vegetal produce. C. It is comparable with the animal-based leather. D. It is the first-ever mushroom-based leather. 13. What can we learn from the text? A. MycoWorks has been partly financed by Hermés. B. MycoWorks’ new leather has made a high fashion debut. C. Trays are needed when designers deal with Fine Mycelium. D. 3D technology is used when MycoWorks creates its new leather. 14. What does the underlined part “havoc” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Fortune. B. Harmony. C. Evolution. D. Damage. 15. Which of the following do some experts concern most? A. The price of the new leather. B. The supply of the new leather. C. The quality of the new leather. D. The durability of the new leather. 第二节 （共5小题, 每小题2.5分，共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。 In today’s world of digital distractions (分心物), the thought of taking your kids to an art gallery might seem a thankless and impossible challenge.

A. Let them determine the pace B. Make the art gallery fit in with your kids C. Turning art into a game is another trick D. The answer is to approach them with fresh eyes E.

I wanted him to dress like a doctor or lawyer, but he always dressed like my father, getting up before dawn every day to make breakfast for my mother and me. We lived in South Texas, where my father worked as a repairman. He often wore a pair of jeans and a shirt, keeping his pencils, glasses and wrenches (扳手) in his breast pocket. His boots were those with steel toes that made them difficult to pull off his feet, which I sometimes helped him with when he returned from repairing cars — his job that also shamed me. I blamed the way he dressed. I felt that my classmates laughed at me because they’d seen him mowing lawns (修剪草坪) in cut-off jeans and black boots. My classmates’ families paid men to beautify their lawns, while their fathers travelled in the bay wearing lemon-yellow sweaters and expensive shoes. He preferred clothes that allowed him the freedom to move under cars. So even when taking part in a school trip with me, he was dressed in his repairman’s suit. On the school bus to the campsite, all students on the bus happily chatted with their parents except me, who lowered the head, avoiding spotting my classmates’ mocking glance (讥笑的眼光) or hearing their jokes, which I thought was about nothing else but what my father wore. I regretted telling my parents the school trip, and I was very angry why my mother had no spare time while my father happened to have a vacation. But my father failed to read my mind. He was very happy, whistling a tune along the way. Though my father didn’t sense my bad mood, the school bus seemed as sad as I was. It drove more and more slowly and finally it stopped on the roadside. The driver got out to check the bus but found nothing wrong. Students and parents on the bus began to whisper about what was happening, worried that the delay might spoil the journey. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 When others were complaining, my father stood up. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The school bus restarted and everyone cheered. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语第一阶段测试 2024.10.9 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分20分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 1.

In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going. Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments. 4. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A. Scared. B. Worried. C. Discouraged. D. Wronged. 5. In her 30s, the author _________. A. avoided oil painting practice B. sought for a painting career C. fancied abstract painting D. exhibited child paintings 6. Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A. Confusing. B. Empowering. C. Disturbing. D. Entertaining. 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Hard work is the mother of success. C. Dreams are the reflections of realities. D. Creative activities involve being confident. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一直喜欢绘画，但中学时由于油画测试成绩较低，作者对绘画失去了信心。在40岁出头时，一个梦让作者重拾画油画的信心并接受了自身局限性的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless.(我觉得很难，但仍希望能通过测试。我没有通过，而且成绩很低。我过于自信了。现在，我被宣布为毫无(油画)天赋的人了)”并结合下文中作者多年不碰油画的经历可推知，作者对美术考试的结果感到气馁。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art.(在我30多岁时，我结交了画家朋友们，学到了看待艺术的新方法)”和“Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice. (虽然这些新朋友是使用油画颜料的抽象画师，或者是版画家或雕塑家，但我把油画作为禁忌的高级形式，不允许我练习)”可知，作者在30多岁时回避练习油画。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. (这个梦给我的感觉是如此的权威，它震撼了我。它是能量的一种形式，让我回我失去了的东西)”可知，作者的梦赋予作者练习油画的力量。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. (成为一名成功的画家需要有决心。我意识到我总是害怕想要得太多)”及文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了作者一直喜欢绘画，但中学时由于油画测试成绩较低，作者对绘画失去了信心。在40岁出头时，一个梦让作者重拾画油画的信心并接受了自身局限性的故事。由此可推知，我们能从文章中学到创作活动需要自信，故选D。 C “How do they walk in these things?” complains Jack Lemmon, walking with difficulty in his heels, newly dressed as his another identity Josephine, in the film “Some Like It Hot”. High heels were, in fact, originally designed for men — and had an extremely practical purpose. Soldiers on horseback wore them in 10th-century Persia, according to Elizabeth Semmel hack of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. The heel helped keep them stable as they stood up in their stirrups ( 马镫) and took aim at enemies with bows and arrows (cowboy boots still use heels in this way). Over time, heels appeared on the shoes of male nobles across Europe. Yet from the mid-17th century, heels became associated with supposedly “feminine” qualities, and so became women’s wear. Until the mid-20th century heels were heavy, heavy things. After the Second World War, techniques and materials used in aircraft engineering were applied to shoes, creating the stiletto ( 细高跟). The high, narrow heel requires a thin metal pole, strong enough to bear the wearer’s weight yet flexible enough to allow the shoe to move. Shoemakers have searched actively for a right heel. They aim to reduce the angle created by a high heel, which forces the few square centimeteres of the ball of your foot to bear the entire weight of your body. Joan Oloff, a podiatrist-turned-shoe-designer, makes footwear lined with memory foam ( 泡沫) to absorb the shock of each painful step. The bottom part of the shoe is crafted to support the arch of the foot and distribute the wearer’s weight more equally. Antonia Saint Dunbar, an entrepreneur, makes shoes with a heel cup and strips inside to stop the foot slipping around and getting blisters ( 水泡). And growing numbers of companies make shoes with adjustable heels: two inches for the boardroom, four for the nightclub, none for home. However, the wisest are stepping down altogether: in 2016, for the first time, more British women bought trainers than heels. 8. Why is a scene in “Some Like It Hot” mentioned in Paragraph 1? A To recommend this film. B. To explain Jack’s double identity. C. To introduce the topic of high heels. D. To stress the difficulty of walking in heels. 9. How does Paragraph 2 mainly develop? A. By presenting research findings. B. By analyzing cause and effect. C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance. 10. What was the original purpose of high heels? A. To keep soldiers fighting on horseback steady. B. To keep cowboys standing up in stirrups safe. C. To show off the beauty of women. D. To show the nobility of Europeans. 11. What have shoemakers tried their best to do? A. Popularize shoes with adjustable heels. B. Help women find the right high heels. C. Encourage women to wear trainers. D. Make high heels comfortable. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了高跟鞋的发展以及鞋匠们为找到合适的鞋跟所做的努力。 8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段描写的电影《热情似火》中，杰克·莱蒙穿着高跟鞋，装扮成另一个身份约瑟芬，跌跌撞撞走路这一场景以及第二段第一句“High heels were, in fact, originally designed for men — and had an extremely practical purpose.”（事实上，高跟鞋最初是为男性设计的，而且有着极其实用的用途）可知，第一段提到电影《热情似火》的场景就是为了引出本文的话题——高跟鞋，故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的originally，10th-century，Over time，the mid-17th century，Until the mid-20th century以及After the Second World War等细节可知，本段主要是按照时间顺序展开的，故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Soldiers on horseback wore them in 10th-century Persia, according to Elizabeth Semmel hack of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto.

They aim to reduce the angle created by a high heel, which forces the few square centimeteres of the ball of your foot to bear the entire weight of your body.”（鞋匠们一直在积极寻找合适的鞋跟。他们的目标是减少高跟鞋所产生的角度，高跟鞋迫使几平方厘米的前脚掌承受整个身体的重量）可知，鞋匠们一直努力让高跟鞋更舒适，故选D。 D Plant- based leathers have the potential to revolutionize the fashion industry. Now, MycoWorks, a California based biotech company, has created a new eco-friendly, vegetal leather derived from mushrooms. The leather turns mycelium (菌丝体) — threads from the root structure of mushrooms — into a material that imitates the look and feel of an animal- based leather. “It’s the first time that a company has been able to produce a vegetal product which is matching or even exceeding the quality and durability of a natural one. It’s a super achievement,” Patrick Thomas, former Hermés CEO and a member of MycoWorks board of directors, said in a statement. MycoWorks creates this special material by using engineered mycelium cells. As the cells grow into 3D structures, they become densely intertwined (交织的), eventually forming a tough material, called Fine Mycelium, which has the strength, durability and performance of the traditional leather. The result differs from other vegetal leathers made with mushrooms. Most mushroom leathers are made from compressed solid foam that mycelium forms naturally, but without engineering, they lack the same look and feel as an animal-based leather. Fine Mycelium can grow in trays (托盘). These trays can be designed to fit a designer’s exact specifications, avoiding any waste. After Fine Mycelium is harvested, it is tanned (鞣色) and finished to look and feel like an animal leather. Last year, luxury fashion brand Hermés debuted (推出（新产品）；首演) their Victoria bag, which featured MycoWork’s Fine Mycelium material. Other companies, including Adidas with their Mylo-made Stan Smith shoes and Lululemon with their mushroom-based yoga products, have also jumped on the eco-friendly trend. The use of plant-based leathers comes during a time when scientists and innovators are trying to come up with solutions for the climate crisis and animal agriculture. Environmentally, manufacturing animal-based leathers creates havoc because of deforestation and methane (甲烷) emissions connected to the animals raised for leathers. However, some experts criticize the new mushroom-based leather because it is currently only available as a rare item. For the material to be a truly sustainable option and make a major impact, it would need to be more accessible. They question whether the company can provide designers with enough material to create their products. 12. What is special about MycoWorks’ new leather? A. It is the first to be made from mycelium. B. It is an eco-friendly and vegetal produce. C. It is comparable with the animal-based leather. D. It is the first-ever mushroom-based leather. 13. What can we learn from the text? A. MycoWorks has been partly financed by Hermés. B. MycoWorks’ new leather has made a high fashion debut. C. Trays are needed when designers deal with Fine Mycelium. D. 3D technology is used when MycoWorks creates its new leather. 14. What does the underlined part “havoc” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Fortune. B. Harmony. C. Evolution. D. Damage. 15. Which of the following do some experts concern most? A. The price of the new leather. B. The supply of the new leather. C. The quality of the new leather. D. The durability of the new leather. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述了一家生物技术公司MycoWorks研制出了一种新的环保植物皮革，这种皮革将菌丝体转化为一种模仿动物皮革外观和触感的材料。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s the first time that a company has been able to produce a vegetal product which is matching or even exceeding the quality and durability of a natural one.( 这是第一次有公司能够生产出质量和耐久性与天然产品相当甚至超过天然产品的植物产品)”可知，MycoWorks公司的新皮革的独特之处在于，这是第一次有公司能够生产出与动物皮革相匹配甚至超过其质量和耐用性的植物产品。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Last year, luxury fashion brand Hermés debuted(推出(新产品)；首演) their Victoria bag, which featured MycoWork’s Fine Mycelium material. (去年，奢侈时尚品牌爱马仕推出了他们的维多利亚包，这款包采用了MycoWork的Fine菌丝体材料)”可知，MycoWorks的新皮革首次在高级时装上亮相。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“because of deforestation and methane(甲烷) emissions connected to the animals raised for leathers(因为森林砍伐和甲烷排放与为皮革而饲养的动物有关)”可知，动物皮革在环境方面造成了严重的破坏，所以划线词与damage“破坏”意思相近。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, some experts criticize the new mushroom- based leather because it is currently only available as a rare item. For the material to be a truly sustainable option and make a major impact, it would need to be more accessible. They question whether the company can provide designers with enough material to create their products.( 然而，一些专家批评这种以蘑菇为基础的新皮革，因为它目前只作为稀有物品。为了使材料成为真正可持续的选择并产生重大影响，它需要更容易获得。他们质疑该公司能否为设计师提供足够的材料来创造他们的产品)”可知，一些专家担心这种皮革的供应。故选B。 第二节 （共5小题, 每小题2.5分，共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。 In today’s world of digital distractions (分心物), the thought of taking your kids to an art gallery might seem a thankless and impossible challenge.

I wanted him to dress like a doctor or lawyer, but he always dressed like my father, getting up before dawn every day to make breakfast for my mother and me. We lived in South Texas, where my father worked as a repairman. He often wore a pair of jeans and a shirt, keeping his pencils, glasses and wrenches (扳手) in his breast pocket. His boots were those with steel toes that made them difficult to pull off his feet, which I sometimes helped him with when he returned from repairing cars — his job that also shamed me. I blamed the way he dressed. I felt that my classmates laughed at me because they’d seen him mowing lawns (修剪草坪) in cut-off jeans and black boots. My classmates’ families paid men to beautify their lawns, while their fathers travelled in the bay wearing lemon-yellow sweaters and expensive shoes. He preferred clothes that allowed him the freedom to move under cars. So even when taking part in a school trip with me, he was dressed in his repairman’s suit. On the school bus to the campsite, all students on the bus happily chatted with their parents except me, who lowered the head, avoiding spotting my classmates’ mocking glance (讥笑的眼光) or hearing their jokes, which I thought was about nothing else but what my father wore. I regretted telling my parents the school trip, and I was very angry why my mother had no spare time while my father happened to have a vacation. But my father failed to read my mind. He was very happy, whistling a tune along the way. Though my father didn’t sense my bad mood, the school bus seemed as sad as I was. It drove more and more slowly and finally it stopped on the roadside. The driver got out to check the bus but found nothing wrong. Students and parents on the bus began to whisper about what was happening, worried that the delay might spoil the journey. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 When others were complaining, my father stood up. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The school bus restarted and everyone cheered. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When others were complaining, my father stood up. Dressed in his repairman’s suit, he had jumped off the school bus without hesitation before I could stop him. “Another chance to be laughed at.” I thought to myself. He examined the bus carefully, using his pencils, glasses and wrenches (扳手) in his breast pocket. It was quite a long time before he was back on the bus again, his hands smeared with oil but a broad smile on his face. He told the driver that there was something was wrong with the engine, but now it was ok. The school bus restarted and everyone cheered. All the parents thumbed up to show their appreciation and those who once mocked me even smiled at me with admiration. I hugged my father tightly for a minute. Only then did I feel proud though he still wore those plain clothes. I finally understood one can’t be judged by what he or she wears. I no longer envy others having a father dressed smartly. I love my father, who teaches the profound truth: It is one’s character, not what one wears that really matters. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者对父亲态度的转变为线索展开，讲述了作者觉得父亲的穿着总让他感到很尴尬，甚至后悔告诉父母学校旅行的事，因为父亲在学校旅行时依旧穿着让我觉得受尽嘲笑的修理工的衣服，但我父亲没能读懂我的心思，他非常高兴，一路上吹着口哨。途中校车出了故障，多亏了我修理工的父亲这一切才得到解决，这一切让我重新认识到我们评判一个人时不能仅仅看他的衣着，更重要的是他的品行。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当别人在抱怨时，我父亲站了起来。”可知，第一段可描写父亲修理车的过程以及我和车上其他人的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“校车重新启动，每个人都欢呼起来。”可知，第二段可描写父亲将车修理以后其他人的反应以及我对父亲的态度的转变以及我的感悟。 2.续写线索：父亲主动站出来修车——其他人的反应、我的反应——车修好——其他人对父亲的赞赏——我态度的转变——我的感悟。 3.词汇积累 行为类 ①穿着：be dressed in/be wearing ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③嘲笑：mock/laugh at/make fun of 情感类 ①紧紧地：tightly/firmly ②潇洒地：smartly/nicely/beautifully 【点睛】【高分句型1】He examined the bus carefully, using his pencils, glasses and wrenches (扳手) in his breast pocket.
