As she told her recent experiment and its results, the response was dead silence for two minutes, then a thunderous applause continued for ten minutes. The woman was Chien-Shiung Wu, known as the First Lady of Physics, who transformed nuclear science through her work on the Manhattan Project and other groundbreaking experiments. Born in 1912, Wu was unlike many Chinese women of her time, and received a formal education. Fascinated by new discoveries and the story of women scientists, she entered the university to study physics and began scientific studies. It was a time of rapid change in both the field of physics and China. Domestic unrest and a bad relationship with Japan made life at home uneasy. With the help of an uncle, she immigrated to the United States for graduate school. Wu planned to go to the University of Michigan, but a tour of the University of California, Berkeley — and word that a student center at Michigan did not allow female students to enter through the front door — changed her mind. At Berkeley Wu was visible for her gender and race, her male colleagues commenting as much on her appearance as her keen mind. She quickly gained a reputation and became an expert in the newly discovered phenomenon of nuclear fission (核裂变). After graduation, she headed to Smith College to teach women physics. During World War Two Wu went to Princeton University, where she became the physics departments first female instructor. But shortly after her arrival, her career took an unexpected turn in 1944. She ended up joining the staff at Columbia University on a top-secret research program now known as the Manhattan Project. 4. Which word best describes the lecture in Paragraph 1? A. Boring. B. Humorous. C. Excellent. D. Common. 5. What inspired Wu to study physics? A. The formal education she received. B. The success of women scientists. C. The background of her family. D. The rapid change in the field of physics. 6. What happened to Wu in America? A. She was looked down on at Berkeley. B. She went to the University of Michigan at first. C. She taught women physics at Princeton University. D. She joined a top-secret research program at Columbia University. 7. Which of the following best describes Wu as a scientist? A. Modest and independent. B. Creative and warm-hearted. C Responsible and cautious. D. Committed and ambitious. C New glove can translate sign language instantly through an app, researchers say California researchers developed a glove embedded with electronic sensors that can translate American Sign Language (ASL) into English in real time through an app on your smartphone. Unlike its past counterparts, the new glove is lightweight, inexpensive and long-lasting. The device could help remove communication barriers between signers and non-signers. Hopefully, this may open up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with non-signers without needing someone else to translate for them. The team worked with four people who are deaf and use ASL and had them repeat gestures up to 15 times while wearing the glove-like device, simultaneously teaching a machine how to recognize them. The glove has thin, stretchable sensors made from “electrically conducting yarns” that run up each finger and convert the movements into signals. These signals are sent to a “dollar-coin-sized” circuit board placed on the person’s wrist, which then wirelessly transfers them over to a smartphone. The system was able to recognize 660 hand motions and finger placements that stand for each letter in the English alphabet, different phrases and each number. The algorithm (计算程序) recognized the correct signs about 99% of the time, and in less than one second — or about a tone word per second. The researchers also placed sensors in between the participants eyebrows and on the sides of their mouths to “capture facial expressions that are a part of ASL”. The same exact hand-shape and movement can totally change meaning because of the facial expression that is used to accompany it. Take the word MUCH. The degree of how much can totally be determined by the facial expression alone while the sign stays the same. Researchers said the glove would need to learn more vocabulary and be able to translate signs faster in order to get a commercial version of it in stores. 8. Who is the new glove intended for? A. Translators. B. Deaf people. C. English learners. D. Sign language users. 9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly say about the new glove? A. Its reliability. B. Its components. C. Its working principle. D. Its broad applications. 10. How do researchers improve the glove’s correctness of recognition? A. By connecting it to smartphones. B. By lengthening the time of catching gestures. C. By inputting more letters and words in English. D. By catching information from participants’ faces. 11. What will researchers do with the glove in the future? A. Bring it to market. B. Update its outlook. C. Extend its service life. D. Improve its performance. D Banff National Park is Canada’s firstborn national park and was recognized in 1885. Located in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Banff includes 6,641 square kilometers of glaciers and ice fields, thick coniferous forest, and alpine(高山的) scenery. The Icefields Park-way spreads from Lake Louise, connecting to Jasper National Park in the north. Provincial forests and Yoho National Park are neighbors to the west while Kootenay National Park is situated to the south. The main commercial center of the park is the town of Banff, in the Bow River valley. The Canadian Pacific Railway was contributory in Banff’s early years, building the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise hotel in the park and attracting tourists through widespread advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by prisoners of World War I, and through Great Depression-era public works projects, As Banff has over three million visitors annually, the health of its ecology has been endangered. In the mid-1990s, Parks Canada launched a two-year study to preserve ecological integrity. Banff National Park has a subarctic climate(副极地气候) with three ecoregions. The forests feature lodgepole pine at lower heights and Engelmann spruce at higher ones below the tree line, above which are chiefly rocks and ice. Mammal(哺乳动物) species such as the grizzly bear, cougar, wolverine, moose and bighorn sheep are found along with hundreds of bird species. Reptiles(爬行动物) are also found but only a restricted number of species have been recorded. The mountains were formed from sedimentary rocks(沉积岩) which were pushed east over newer rock formations, between 80 and 55 million years ago. Over the previous few million years, glaciers have at times covered most of the park, but today are found only on the mountainsides though they include the Columbia Icefield, the largest continuous glacial mass in the Rockies. Erosion(侵蚀) from water and ice has molded the mountains into their existing shapes. 12. What can we infer about Banff National Park? A. It was built mainly by prisoners. B. It is the oldest national park in Canada. C. It is connected to three other provincial parks. D. It failed to satisfy visitors’ demand for commercial activities. 13. What was a contribution of the Canadian Pacific Railway? A. Building roads in Banff. B. Constructing hotels in Banff. C. Preserving the ecology of Banff. D. Providing multiple railway lines to Banff. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The biodiversity of Banff. B. The limited knowledge of reptiles. C. The complex climate system of Banff. D. The mammals’ severe living conditions. 15. What does the underlined word “molded” most probably mean? A. Stuck. B. Broken. C. Formed. D. Followed. 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。 Being a first-year international student at a U.

As she tiptoed (踮着脚走) to tie a balloon, hunger was evident in her eyes. How did her family do this every year? It was so hard to go without food or drink from lunch until sunset. She found this period especially challenging, because today also turned out to be her grandfather Babajoon’s birthday. Suddenly the phone rang. Shireen answered to find her friend Amy on the other end, inviting her to the park. “Can I join Amy and Maya? They want to show me their new toys,” Shireen begged her mom. Understanding the struggle of Shireen, her mother gently replied, “Sorry, sweetie. You’ll get tired and thirsty running around in the sun, especially on an empty stomach.” Disappointed, Shireen felt angry, thinking of her friends enjoying themselves. The burst of hunger and anger made Shireen question the significance of giving up meals of the period. Realizing Shireen’s upset, her mom explained that the most important thing was to know how it felt to be hungry, allowing them to understand those less lucky people’s feeling and experiences and developed compassion (同情). To cheer Shireen up, her mom suggested baking a birthday cake for her grandfather. Her dad was passing by and heard their conversation. He considered it a bad idea, fearing that it would be too hard for Shireen on an empty stomach. However, Shireen had made her mind. She wanted to surprise Babajoon with a cake, not just any cake, but a beautiful chocolate one. Shireen and her mom set out the materials: cocoa powder, sugar, flour (面粉),eggs and butter. Her mom selected the cocoa and flour. Shireen measured sugar into the mixer and added the butter. She liked watching the mixer turn the separate materials into a soft yellow paste. She cracked the eggs one by one into the bowl. “Oops! There’s some shell.” Shireen tried getting it out with a spoon. 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。 The process of making the cake brought moments of joy. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally evening approached. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 AABCA 6—10 CABCB 11—15 CABCB 16—20 ABCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南昌十中2024—2025学年上学期第一次月考 高二英语试题 说明：本试卷分第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分，全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求。 1. 答题前，请您务必将自己的姓名、考试证号用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米签字笔填写在答题卡和答题纸上。 2. 作答非选择题必须用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米签字笔写在答题纸上的指定位置，在其它位置作答一律无效。作答选择题必须用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案，请保持卡面清洁和答题纸清洁，不折叠、不破损。 3. 考试结束后，答题纸交回。 第I卷 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。 1.

As she told her recent experiment and its results, the response was dead silence for two minutes, then a thunderous applause continued for ten minutes. The woman was Chien-Shiung Wu, known as the First Lady of Physics, who transformed nuclear science through her work on the Manhattan Project and other groundbreaking experiments. Born in 1912, Wu was unlike many Chinese women of her time, and received a formal education. Fascinated by new discoveries and the story of women scientists, she entered the university to study physics and began scientific studies. It was a time of rapid change in both the field of physics and China. Domestic unrest and a bad relationship with Japan made life at home uneasy. With the help of an uncle, she immigrated to the United States for graduate school. Wu planned to go to the University of Michigan but a tour of the University of California, Berkeley — and word that a student center at Michigan did not allow female students to enter through the front door — changed her mind. At Berkeley Wu was visible for her gender and race, her male colleagues commenting as much on her appearance as her keen mind. She quickly gained a reputation and became an expert in the newly discovered phenomenon of nuclear fission (核裂变). After graduation, she headed to Smith College to teach women physics. During World War Two Wu went to Princeton University, where she became the physics departments first female instructor. But shortly after her arrival, her career took an unexpected turn in 1944. She ended up joining the staff at Columbia University on a top-secret research program now known as the Manhattan Project. 4. Which word best describes the lecture in Paragraph 1? A. Boring. B. Humorous. C. Excellent. D. Common. 5. What inspired Wu to study physics? A. The formal education she received. B. The success of women scientists. C. The background of her family. D. The rapid change in the field of physics. 6. What happened to Wu in America? A. She was looked down on at Berkeley. B. She went to the University of Michigan at first. C. She taught women physics at Princeton University. D. She joined a top-secret research program at Columbia University. 7. Which of the following best describes Wu as a scientist? A. Modest and independent. B. Creative and warm-hearted. C. Responsible and cautious. D. Committed and ambitious. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了“物理界第一夫人”吴健雄的生平，讲述了她的求学经历，科研之路以及对核科学的贡献。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As she told the crowd about her recent experiment and its results, the response was dead silence for two minutes, then a thunderous applause continued for ten minutes.(当她向人群讲述她最近的实验及其结果时，回应是两分钟的死寂，然后是持续了十分钟的雷鸣般的掌声)”可知，当她向听众介绍她的实验和结果后，现场先是沉默了两分钟，随后是长达十分钟的雷鸣般掌声，由此可推知，她的演讲很精彩。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Fascinated by new discoveries and the story of women scientists like Marie Curie, she entered National Central University to study physics and then began her scientific studies.(她被新发现和像玛丽·居里这样的女科学家的故事所吸引，于是进入中央大学学习物理，然后开始她的科学研究)”可知，吴健雄被新发现和像玛丽·居里这样的女科学家的故事所吸引，所以选择学习物理。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But shortly after her arrival, her career took an unexpected turn in 1944. She ended up joining the staff at Columbia University on a top-secret research program now known as the Manhattan Project.(但在她到达后不久，1944年，她的职业生涯发生了意想不到的转折。她最终加入了哥伦比亚大学的一个绝密研究项目，该项目现在被称为曼哈顿计划)”可知，吴健雄到美国后，加入了哥伦比亚大学的一个绝密研究项目，该项目现在被称为曼哈顿计划。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The woman was Chien-Shiung Wu, known as the First Lady of Physics, who transformed nuclear science through her work on the Manhattan Project and other groundbreaking experiments.(这位女士就是被称为“物理学第一夫人”的吴建雄，她通过在曼哈顿计划和其他开创性实验中的工作改变了核科学)”、第四段中“Wu planned to go to the University of Michigan, but a tour of the University of California, Berkeley-and word that a student center at Michigan did not allow female students to enter through the front door-changed her mind.(吴原计划去密歇根大学，但在参观了加州大学伯克利分校后，听说该校的一个学生中心不允许女学生从前门进入，她改变了主意)”和“She quickly gained a reputation and became an expert in the newly discovered phenomenon of nuclear fission (核裂变).(她很快获得了声誉，并成为新发现的核裂变现象的专家)”以及最后一段中“After graduation, she headed to Smith College to teach women physics. During World War Two Wu went to Princeton University, where she became the physics department’s first female instructor.(毕业后，她前往史密斯学院教授女性物理。第二次世界大战期间，吴去了普林斯顿大学，在那里她成为物理系的第一位女讲师)”可知，吴健雄致力于物理学的研究，并取得很多开创性的成果，故她是一个具有奉献精神和有雄心的科学家，故选D项。 C New glove can translate sign language instantly through an app, researchers say California researchers developed a glove embedded with electronic sensors that can translate American Sign Language (ASL) into English in real time through an app on your smartphone. Unlike its past counterparts, the new glove is lightweight, inexpensive and long-lasting. The device could help remove communication barriers between signers and non-signers. Hopefully, this may open up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with non-signers without needing someone else to translate for them. The team worked with four people who are deaf and use ASL and had them repeat gestures up to 15 times while wearing the glove-like device, simultaneously teaching a machine how to recognize them. The glove has thin, stretchable sensors made from “electrically conducting yarns” that run up each finger and convert the movements into signals. These signals are sent to a “dollar-coin-sized” circuit board placed on the person’s wrist, which then wirelessly transfers them over to a smartphone. The system was able to recognize 660 hand motions and finger placements that stand for each letter in the English alphabet, different phrases and each number. The algorithm (计算程序) recognized the correct signs about 99% of the time, and in less than one second — or about a tone word per second. The researchers also placed sensors in between the participants eyebrows and on the sides of their mouths to “capture facial expressions that are a part of ASL”. The same exact hand-shape and movement can totally change meaning because of the facial expression that is used to accompany it. Take the word MUCH. The degree of how much can totally be determined by the facial expression alone while the sign stays the same. Researchers said the glove would need to learn more vocabulary and be able to translate signs faster in order to get a commercial version of it in stores. 8. Who is the new glove intended for? A. Translators. B. Deaf people. C. English learners. D. Sign language users. 9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly say about the new glove? A. Its reliability. B. Its components. C. Its working principle. D. Its broad applications. 10. How do researchers improve the glove’s correctness of recognition? A. By connecting it to smartphones. B. By lengthening the time of catching gestures. C. By inputting more letters and words in English. D. By catching information from participants’ faces. 11 What will researchers do with the glove in the future? A. Bring it to market. B. Update its outlook. C. Extend its service life. D. Improve its performance. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加利福尼亚州研究人员开发的一种新型手套，该手套能够通过应用程序实时翻译美国手语（ASL）为英语。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The device could help remove communication barriers between signers and non-signers. Hopefully, this may open up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with non-signers without needing someone else to translate for them.(该设备有助于消除手语使用者和非手语使用者之间的沟通障碍。有望为使用手语的人提供一种简便的方式，使他们能够直接与不会手语的人沟通，而无需他人翻译)”可知，这款手套是为了帮助使用手语的人与非手语使用者沟通。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“The glove has thin, stretchable sensors made from “electrically conducting yarns” that run up each finger and convert the movements into signals. These signals are sent to a “dollar-coin-sized” circuit board placed on the person’s wrist, which then wirelessly transfers them over to a smartphone.(手套上装有由“导电纱线”制成的薄而可拉伸的传感器，这些传感器沿每根手指延伸，并将动作转换为信号。这些信号被发送到佩戴者手腕上放置的一块“硬币大小”的电路板上，然后电路板通过无线方式将其传输到智能手机上)”可知，第四段详细描述了新手套的工作原理，即手套上的传感器将动作转换为信号，然后信号被发送到电路板，再通过无线方式传输到智能手机上。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“The researchers also placed sensors in between the participants eyebrows and on the sides of their mouths to “capture facial expressions that are a part of ASL”.(研究人员还在参与者的眉毛之间和嘴巴两侧放置了传感器，以“捕捉作为美国手语一部分的面部表情”)”可知，研究人员在参与者的眉毛之间和嘴巴两侧放置了传感器来捕捉作为美国手语一部分的面部表情。因为同样的手势和动作会因为伴随的面部表情而完全改变意义，所以捕捉面部表情可以提高手套的识别准确性。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Researchers said the glove would need to learn more vocabulary and be able to translate signs faster in order to get a commercial version of it in stores.(研究人员表示，为了让这款手套实现商业化并在商店出售，它需要学习更多的词汇，并能够更快地翻译手语)”可知，研究人员还有很多工作要做，以使手套具有商业价值。他们需要教手套更多的词汇，并使其更快地、更准确地翻译手语。这表明研究人员未来将对手套进行改进，以提高其性能。故选D。 D Banff National Park is Canada’s firstborn national park and was recognized in 1885. Located in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Banff includes 6,641 square kilometers of glaciers and ice fields, thick coniferous forest, and alpine(高山的) scenery. The Icefields Park-way spreads from Lake Louise, connecting to Jasper National Park in the north. Provincial forests and Yoho National Park are neighbors to the west while Kootenay National Park is situated to the south. The main commercial center of the park is the town of Banff, in the Bow River valley. The Canadian Pacific Railway was contributory in Banff’s early years, building the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise hotel in the park and attracting tourists through widespread advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by prisoners of World War I, and through Great Depression-era public works projects, As Banff has over three million visitors annually, the health of its ecology has been endangered. In the mid-1990s, Parks Canada launched a two-year study to preserve ecological integrity. Banff National Park has a subarctic climate(副极地气候) with three ecoregions. The forests feature lodgepole pine at lower heights and Engelmann spruce at higher ones below the tree line, above which are chiefly rocks and ice. Mammal(哺乳动物) species such as the grizzly bear, cougar, wolverine, moose and bighorn sheep are found along with hundreds of bird species. Reptiles(爬行动物) are also found but only a restricted number of species have been recorded. The mountains were formed from sedimentary rocks(沉积岩) which were pushed east over newer rock formations, between 80 and 55 million years ago. Over the previous few million years, glaciers have at times covered most of the park, but today are found only on the mountainsides though they include the Columbia Icefield, the largest continuous glacial mass in the Rockies. Erosion(侵蚀) from water and ice has molded the mountains into their existing shapes. 12. What can we infer about Banff National Park? A. It was built mainly by prisoners. B. It is the oldest national park in Canada. C. It is connected to three other provincial parks. D. It failed to satisfy visitors’ demand for commercial activities. 13. What was a contribution of the Canadian Pacific Railway? A. Building roads in Banff. B. Constructing hotels in Banff. C. Preserving the ecology of Banff. D. Providing multiple railway lines to Banff. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The biodiversity of Banff. B. The limited knowledge of reptiles. C. The complex climate system of Banff. D. The mammals’ severe living conditions. 15. What does the underlined word “molded” most probably mean? A. Stuck. B. Broken. C. Formed. D. Followed. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章从发展历史、生物多样性以及现代公园风貌等方面介绍了加拿大第一个国家公园——班夫国家公园。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Banff National Park is Canada’s firstborn national park and was recognized in 1885.

As she tiptoed (踮着脚走) to tie a balloon, hunger was evident in her eyes. How did her family do this every year? It was so hard to go without food or drink from lunch until sunset. She found this period especially challenging, because today also turned out to be her grandfather Babajoon’s birthday. Suddenly the phone rang. Shireen answered to find her friend Amy on the other end, inviting her to the park. “Can I join Amy and Maya? They want to show me their new toys,” Shireen begged her mom. Understanding the struggle of Shireen, her mother gently replied, “Sorry, sweetie. You’ll get tired and thirsty running around in the sun, especially on an empty stomach.” Disappointed, Shireen felt angry, thinking of her friends enjoying themselves. The burst of hunger and anger made Shireen question the significance of giving up meals of the period. Realizing Shireen’s upset, her mom explained that the most important thing was to know how it felt to be hungry, allowing them to understand those less lucky people’s feeling and experiences and developed compassion (同情). To cheer Shireen up, her mom suggested baking a birthday cake for her grandfather. Her dad was passing by and heard their conversation. He considered it a bad idea, fearing that it would be too hard for Shireen on an empty stomach. However, Shireen had made her mind. She wanted to surprise Babajoon with a cake, not just any cake, but a beautiful chocolate one. Shireen and her mom set out the materials: cocoa powder, sugar, flour (面粉),eggs and butter. Her mom selected the cocoa and flour. Shireen measured sugar into the mixer and added the butter. She liked watching the mixer turn the separate materials into a soft yellow paste. She cracked the eggs one by one into the bowl. “Oops! There’s some shell.” Shireen tried getting it out with a spoon. 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。 The process of making the cake brought moments of joy. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally evening approached. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： The process of making the cake brought moments of joy. As the cake began to take shape, Shireen almost forgot about her hunger. She and her mom laughed heartily when shireen got some flour on her nose, and her mom taught her the technique to perfect the cake. With every added decoration, the cake became more beautiful. They also discussed how Babajoon would react, and the excitement of the evening’s celebration lightened Shireen’s earlier feelings of sadness and tiredness. Finally evening approached. The setting sun marked the end of the day’s no food policy. As the family sat around the dining table, Babajoon was presented with Shireen’s beautiful cake. The joy and pride in Shireen’s eyes were obvious. Not only had she successfully overcame the challenge, but she also managed to make a beautiful gift from the heart for her beloved grandfather. The day taught her the value of compassion, patience and the importance of family ties. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Shireen的妈妈为了让他们体验饥饿是什么感觉，让他们理解那些不那么幸运的人的感受和经历，并培养同情心，在为爷爷准备生日的期间不允许孩子们吃东西，这让Shireen难以接受。妈妈也拒绝了Shireen和朋友一起玩耍的请求，为了让女儿高兴起来，妈妈建议Shireen亲自为爷爷Babajoon做生日蛋糕。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“制作蛋糕的过程带来了欢乐的时刻。”可知，第一段可描写Shireen和妈妈一起制作蛋糕的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于到了晚上。”可知，第二段可描写一家人一起为爷爷庆祝生日和Shireen的内心感受。 2.续写线索：蛋糕开始成形——母女俩开怀大笑——讨论Babajoon的反应——兴奋减轻了难过和疲惫——Babajoon被赠予蛋糕——Shireen感到快乐和骄傲——成功克服困难，做出蛋糕——学会了同情心和耐心的价值，家庭关系的重要性 3.词汇激活 行为类 开始成形：begin to take shape/start to shape up 讨论：discuss/talk over 成功做某事：manage to do sth./be succeeded in doing sth. 情绪类 开怀大笑：laugh heartily/roar with laughter 高兴：joy/delight 【点睛】 [高分句型1] They also discussed how Babajoon would react, and the excitement of the evening’s celebration lightened Shireen’s earlier feelings of sadness and tiredness.（运用了how引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] Not only had she successfully overcame the challenge, but she also managed to make a beautiful gift from the heart for her beloved grandfather.（运用了部分倒装） 听力 1—5 AABCA 6—10 CABCB 11—15 CABCB 16—20 ABCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
