B For my 56th birthday, my daughter, Beth, bought me two beautifully carved wooden butterflies. I hung them in prominent places on my walls so that I can see them often during the day. Each time I do so, they give me a wonderful reminder of love. My daughter and my love of butterflies goes back many years. After a long battle against cancer, my mom passed away when I was only 25 years old. Beth was only a baby at the time and never got to have any memories of her grandma. I tried to make up for it by telling her stories of my mom but each time I did, I could see that there was a little sadness in Beth’s eyes. One day when she was only seven or so we were outside at the playground. Beth suddenly said how much she saddened not having her grandma around. Well, sometimes I comforted her and this time I told her how much her grandma loved her and that Grandma still remained positive in the last weeks of her life. I said she was watching over her from Heaven and that maybe she was even hitching (搭乘) a ride on the back of a butterfly to come down and get a closer look. At that very moment, a butterfly appeared flying around Beth’s face and then flew away. We both laughed with our hearts full of love and joy. Since that moment all of those years ago, both Beth and I seem to attract butterflies like flowers. Whenever we are outside, they seem to fly down, circle around us, take a good look, and then fly away. And every time, we are reminded of my mom’s love watching over us. The only time this doesn’t happen is during the coldest months of the year when there are no insects of any kind. But now during those times I can take a look at the two beautiful wooden butterflies my daughter bought me and still be reminded of that love. 4. Why did Beth buy wooden butterflies? A. To celebrate the new year. B. To decorate her bedroom. C. To remind her childhood. D. To celebrate her mother’s birthday. 5. What does the underlined word “prominent” in Paragraph 1 mean ? A. Noticeable. B. Essential. C. Special. D. Meaningful. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author’s mom? A. Independent and reliable. B. Enthusiastic and helpful. C. Tough and optimistic. D. Capable and respectable. 7. What does the author intend to tell us through the story? A. Wooden butterflies are of great artistic value. B. We all need reminders that we are loved in our life. C. It is difficult to maintain family ties during difficult times. D. The presence of parents is important to children’s development. C Recently, a group of scientists decided to find out what the funniest joke in the world was. This is obviously a difficult task, as no two people really agree about what is funny and what is not — especially when they are from different countries. Here is the joke which the experts decided was the funniest joke in the world: Two hunters were out in the woods. One of them fell to the ground. He didn’t seem to be breathing; his eyes were closed. The other hunter took out his mobile phone and called the emergency services. “My friend is dead!” he cried to the operator. “What can I do?” The operator said, “Don’t worry. First, make sure he’s dead.” There was a silence, and then a shot was heard. Bang! The hunter’s voice came back on the line. He said, “OK, now what?” This is perhaps amusing. Culturally, it depends on us knowing that often hunters are not considered to be very intelligent people, and that often they are quite violent. But perhaps this is not so all over the world. It’s also quite a black joke — a joke about something that isn’t really a funny subject. The experts also found the second funniest joke in the world. Here it is: Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After dinner, they went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes woke up. “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.” “I see millions of stars, Holmes” replied Watson. “And what do you infer from that?” “Well, there are billions of stars...we are a small part of the universe.” “Watson, you idiot!” he said. “Someone has stolen our tent!” I personally think this is better. Can scientists in the end decide what is funny? Some things are much too complicated, even for scientists. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Few jokes can make scientists laugh. B. Only scientists can find out the funniest joke. C. There are different jokes in different countries. D People hold different opinions about what is funny. 9. What does the author think of the first joke? A. It is not so funny as the experts thought. B. It is really the funniest joke he has ever heard. C. It will make readers laugh their head off. D. It shows that not all hunters are intelligent. 10. What can affect a person’s understanding of a joke? A. The person’s feeling. B. The length of the joke. C. The person’s cultural background. D. The language that the teller uses. 11. Which of the following is the best title for this text? A. Uninteresting Jokes B. Different Kinds of Jokes C. The Funniest Joke in the World D. Tips on How to Make Others Laugh D Across the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude toward reading. There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents. So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys’ reading? To improve boys’ reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called “boy-friendly” books that boys supposedly “prefer” These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction. But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability. Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books. Firstly, don’t assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests. Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading. In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure. 12. According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys’ and girls’ reading ability? A Social factors. B. Teaching methods. C. Personal preferences. D. Psychological differences. 13. Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading? A. To persuade boys to read more often. B. To learn what boys are most interested in. C. To help boys improve their language ability. D. To show that adults are good reading role models. 14. When should schools give students additional library access according to the author? A. Before and after class. B. At any time of the school day. C. At regular times during class. D. When they are in the lower grades. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To show students ways to improve their reading. B. To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls. C. To urge governments to provide more reading resources. D. To provide strategies that can help improve boys’ reading ability. 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。 Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.

I said good morning to our headmaster, Mr. Jordan, at the school entrance. With a genuine smile that reached his eyes, he greeted me by name, inquiring about my weekend and showing a sincere interest in my day ahead. That was really comforting! It was the day of the poetry festival. and I was excited. At my old school, I had won the poetry award every year. I’m horrible at sports, and too shy to be popular—but І do write good poetry, although I never told anyone here about it yet. The poem I wrote for the Edison Festival was about my dad. I wished I would surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker, my English teacher. When Mrs. Baker called on me, I was so nervous that I had to swallow about ten times before I could speak. But once I started, I didn’t even bother to look at my paper. I’d spent so much time perfecting the rhymes that I knew the poem by heart. I had just started the third line when I noticed Mrs. Baker’s expression change. She looked at me with a mixture of appreciation and disbelief. I stopped in the middle of a word and waited for her to say something. “Linda, you are supposed to be reading a poem you made up yourself, not reciting something you learned. That is called plagiarism(剽窃)!” “Oh, but it’s an original one. I did make it up, it’s about my dad.” I heard a “Yeah, right!” from somewhere behind me, and someone else laughed. I opened my mouth to explain, but no words came out. “Perhaps you could step out and gather your thoughts, and when you feel ready, we can discuss this with a clear mind,” said Mrs. Baker. I’d been standing outside for 5 minutes when Mr Jordan came over to ask me what happened. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Almost in tears, I poured out the whole story. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by his words, I gathered my courage and turned back to the classroom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 浦北中学2024年秋季学期十月份考试试题 高二英语 （时间：120分钟 满分150分） 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。 1．Why does the woman look awful?

His first book was published in 2007.( Harry Bernstein (1910 - 2011)。Bernstein是一名杂志编辑。他的第一本书于2007年出版。)”可知Harry Bernstein在97岁（2007-1910）时出版了他的第一部作品。故选D项。 B For my 56th birthday, my daughter, Beth, bought me two beautifully carved wooden butterflies. I hung them in prominent places on my walls so that I can see them often during the day. Each time I do so, they give me a wonderful reminder of love. My daughter and my love of butterflies goes back many years. After a long battle against cancer, my mom passed away when I was only 25 years old. Beth was only a baby at the time and never got to have any memories of her grandma. I tried to make up for it by telling her stories of my mom but each time I did, I could see that there was a little sadness in Beth’s eyes. One day when she was only seven or so we were outside at the playground. Beth suddenly said how much she saddened not having her grandma around. Well, sometimes I comforted her and this time I told her how much her grandma loved her and that Grandma still remained positive in the last weeks of her life. I said she was watching over her from Heaven and that maybe she was even hitching (搭乘) a ride on the back of a butterfly to come down and get a closer look. At that very moment, a butterfly appeared flying around Beth’s face and then flew away. We both laughed with our hearts full of love and joy. Since that moment all of those years ago, both Beth and I seem to attract butterflies like flowers. Whenever we are outside, they seem to fly down, circle around us, take a good look, and then fly away. And every time, we are reminded of my mom’s love watching over us. The only time this doesn’t happen is during the coldest months of the year when there are no insects of any kind. But now during those times I can take a look at the two beautiful wooden butterflies my daughter bought me and still be reminded of that love. 4. Why did Beth buy wooden butterflies? A. To celebrate the new year. B. To decorate her bedroom. C. To remind her childhood. D. To celebrate her mother’s birthday. 5. What does the underlined word “prominent” in Paragraph 1 mean ? A. Noticeable. B. Essential. C. Special. D. Meaningful. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author’s mom? A. Independent and reliable. B. Enthusiastic and helpful. C. Tough and optimistic. D. Capable and respectable. 7. What does the author intend to tell us through the story? A. Wooden butterflies are of great artistic value. B. We all need reminders that we are loved in our life. C. It is difficult to maintain family ties during difficult times. D. The presence of parents is important to children’s development. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者和女儿怀念过世亲人的感人故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“For my 56th birthday, my daughter, Beth, bought me two beautifully carved wooden butterflies.(在我56岁生日的时候，我的女儿Beth给我买了两只雕刻精美的木制蝴蝶。)”可知，Beth买木蝴蝶是为了给母亲庆祝生日。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“so that I can see them often during the day(这样我就可以在白天经常看到它们)”可知，作者把蝴蝶挂在显眼的地方，划线词prominent的意思是“显眼的，突出的”，和noticeable意思相近，故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“After a long battle against cancer, my mom passed away when I was only 25 years old.(经过与癌症的长期斗争，我妈妈在我25岁的时候去世了。)”和“Well, sometimes I comforted her and this time I told her how much her grandma loved her and that Grandma still remained positive in the last weeks of her life.(嗯，有时候我会安慰她，这次我告诉她奶奶有多爱她，奶奶在生命的最后几个星期里仍然保持着积极的态度。)”可知，作者的母亲与癌症进行了长期的斗争，并在最后的日子里仍然保持着乐观的态度，由此推知，作者的母亲是坚强乐观的人，可用tough和optimistic来描述作者的母亲。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合最后一段中“Since that moment all of those years ago, both Beth and I seem to attract butterflies like flowers. Whenever we are outside, they seem to fly down, circle around us, take a good look, and then fly away. And every time, we are reminded of my mom’s love watching over us.(从多年前的那一刻起，Beth和我就像蝴蝶一样吸引着花朵。每当我们在外面，它们似乎飞下来，在我们周围盘旋，看了看，然后飞走了。每一次，我们都会想起妈妈对我们的爱。)”可推知，作者把蝴蝶视作是逝去的母亲对自己和女儿Beth的爱的象征。因此，作者想通过这个故事告诉我们：在生活中我们都需要被提醒我们是被人爱着的。故选B。 C Recently, a group of scientists decided to find out what the funniest joke in the world was. This is obviously a difficult task, as no two people really agree about what is funny and what is not — especially when they are from different countries. Here is the joke which the experts decided was the funniest joke in the world: Two hunters were out in the woods. One of them fell to the ground. He didn’t seem to be breathing; his eyes were closed. The other hunter took out his mobile phone and called the emergency services. “My friend is dead!” he cried to the operator. “What can I do?” The operator said, “Don’t worry. First, make sure he’s dead.” There was a silence, and then a shot was heard. Bang! The hunter’s voice came back on the line. He said, “OK, now what?” This is perhaps amusing. Culturally, it depends on us knowing that often hunters are not considered to be very intelligent people, and that often they are quite violent. But perhaps this is not so all over the world. It’s also quite a black joke — a joke about something that isn’t really a funny subject. The experts also found the second funniest joke in the world. Here it is: Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After dinner, they went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes woke up. “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.” “I see millions of stars, Holmes” replied Watson. “And what do you infer from that?” “Well, there are billions of stars...we are a small part of the universe.” “Watson, you idiot!” he said. “Someone has stolen our tent!” I personally think this is better. Can scientists in the end decide what is funny? Some things are much too complicated, even for scientists. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Few jokes can make scientists laugh. B. Only scientists can find out the funniest joke. C. There are different jokes in different countries. D. People hold different opinions about what is funny. 9 What does the author think of the first joke? A. It is not so funny as the experts thought. B. It is really the funniest joke he has ever heard. C. It will make readers laugh their head off. D. It shows that not all hunters are intelligent. 10. What can affect a person’s understanding of a joke? A. The person’s feeling. B. The length of the joke. C. The person’s cultural background. D. The language that the teller uses. 11. Which of the following is the best title for this text? A. Uninteresting Jokes B. Different Kinds of Jokes C. The Funniest Joke in the World D. Tips on How to Make Others Laugh 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是最近，一群科学家决定找出世界上最有趣的笑话是什么。文章对此进行了介绍和讨论。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“This is obviously a difficult task, as no two people really agree about what is funny and what is not—especially when they are from different countries.(这显然是一项艰巨的任务，因为对于什么是有趣的，什么是不有趣的，没有任何两个人的看法是一致的——尤其是当他们来自不同的国家时。)”可知，人们对什么是有趣的持有不同的观点。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Here is the joke which the experts decided was the funniest joke in the world(下面这个笑话被专家们评为世界上最有趣的笑话)”和第四段第一句“This is perhaps amusing.(这也许很有趣。)”可知，作者并不认为这个笑话有趣到专家们认为的程度。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Culturally, it depends on us knowing that often hunters are not considered to be very intelligent people, and that often they are quite violent.(在文化上，这取决于我们知道猎人通常不被认为是非常聪明的人，而且他们通常非常暴力。)”可知，一个人的文化背景会影响一个人对笑话的理解。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Recently, a group of scientists decided to find out what the funniest joke in the world was.(最近，一群科学家决定找出世界上最有趣的笑话是什么。)”，第二段“Here is the joke which the experts decided was the funniest joke in the world(下面这个笑话被专家们评为世界上最有趣的笑话)”和第五段的“The experts also found the second funniest joke in the world.(专家们还发现了世界上第二有趣的笑话。)”以及最后一段“Can scientists in the end decide what is funny? Some things are much too complicated, even for scientists.(科学家们最终能决定什么是有趣的吗？有些事情甚至对科学家来说都太复杂了。)”可知，文章主要是讨论世界上最有趣的笑话是什么，因此最好的题目是C选项“The Funniest Joke in the World(世界上最有趣的笑话) ”。故选C。 D Across the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude toward reading. There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents. So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys’ reading? To improve boys’ reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called “boy-friendly” books that boys supposedly “prefer” These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction. But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability. Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books. Firstly, don’t assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests. Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading. In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure. 12. According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys’ and girls’ reading ability? A. Social factors. B. Teaching methods. C. Personal preferences. D. Psychological differences. 13. Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading? A. To persuade boys to read more often. B. To learn what boys are most interested in. C. To help boys improve their language ability. D. To show that adults are good reading role models. 14. When should schools give students additional library access according to the author? A. Before and after class. B. At any time of the school day. C. At regular times during class. D. When they are in the lower grades. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To show students ways to improve their reading. B. To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls. C. To urge governments to provide more reading resources. D. To provide strategies that can help improve boys’ reading ability. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【分析】本文属于科普文，介绍女孩在阅读方面要比男孩做的好，以及背后的原因，提升男孩阅读能力的解决办法。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage.可知，父母与女儿读书的机会更多，同时也给大家传递一条信息，书籍是为女孩提供的，故推断出，出现差异主要原因是社会因素，故选A. 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段Firstly, don’t assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.可知，不要认为同年男孩的兴趣都一样或者兴趣保持不变，因此需要定期和孩子讨论阅读内容，从而知道其兴趣的变化，提供相应的阅读材料，可知这么做的原因是帮助了解孩子的兴趣，故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling.可知，学校应该在学年读书期间让孩子能够得以使用图书馆，故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys’ reading?可知，本文主要讲述女孩在阅读方面要比男孩做的好，以及背后的原因，提升男孩阅读能力的解决办法，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。 Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.

I said good morning to our headmaster, Mr. Jordan, at the school entrance. With a genuine smile that reached his eyes, he greeted me by name, inquiring about my weekend and showing a sincere interest in my day ahead. That was really comforting! It was the day of the poetry festival. and I was excited. At my old school, I had won the poetry award every year. I’m horrible at sports, and too shy to be popular—but І do write good poetry, although I never told anyone here about it yet. The poem I wrote for the Edison Festival was about my dad. I wished I would surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker, my English teacher. When Mrs. Baker called on me, I was so nervous that I had to swallow about ten times before I could speak. But once I started, I didn’t even bother to look at my paper. I’d spent so much time perfecting the rhymes that I knew the poem by heart. I had just started the third line when I noticed Mrs. Baker’s expression change. She looked at me with a mixture of appreciation and disbelief. I stopped in the middle of a word and waited for her to say something. “Linda, you are supposed to be reading a poem you made up yourself, not reciting something you learned. That is called plagiarism(剽窃)!” “Oh, but it’s an original one. I did make it up, it’s about my dad.” I heard a “Yeah, right!” from somewhere behind me, and someone else laughed. I opened my mouth to explain, but no words came out. “Perhaps you could step out and gather your thoughts, and when you feel ready, we can discuss this with a clear mind,” said Mrs. Baker. I’d been standing outside for 5 minutes when Mr Jordan came over to ask me what happened. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Almost in tears, I poured out the whole story. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by his words, I gathered my courage and turned back to the classroom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Almost in tears, I poured out the whole story. With a lump in my throat, I explained how much I loved poetry and that I had never even considered plagiarizing. Mr. Jordan listened attentively, nodding occasionally as I spoke. When I finished, he smiled gently and reassured me that it was okay to feel sad, “Sharing your creativity is a brave thing to do, Linda,” he said warmly. “Even if it didn’t go as planned, your courage is admirable. Remember, talent like yours is a gift. Trust in your own abilities and let your work speak for itself.” His words comforted me, giving me a sense of affirmation I desperately needed in that moment of doubt and frustration. Inspired by his words, I gathered my courage and turned back to the classroom. Mrs. Baker looked up as I entered, her expression now softened with understanding. Taking a deep breath, I assured everyone the poem was indeed my own creation and explained how I had crafted the poem about my father with love and care, “I’d like to recite it again,” I said with determination. This time, I recited the poem slowly and clearly, letting the emotions behind the words flow naturally. As I finished, there was a moment of silence before applause broke out, genuine and warm. “Sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you for sharing that,” Mrs. Baker said sincerely, “Your poem is really touching.” The tension lifted, and I felt a sense of pride knowing that I did surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要介绍了作者在新学校爱迪生中学首次参加诗歌节时，因为紧张而背诵了自己为父亲写的原创诗歌，却被老师误解为剽窃。尽管作者试图解释，但老师仍要求她先出去冷静一下，之后再进行讨论。正在作者不知所措时，乔丹先生走过来问他发生了什么事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句“我几乎流下了眼泪，把整个故事都讲了出来。”可知，本段可描写作者因误会而伤心，乔丹老师安慰并肯定其才华，鼓励其自信。 ②由第二段首句“受到他的启发，我鼓起勇气回到教室。”可知，本段可描写作者鼓起勇气再次朗诵原创诗歌，赢得师生掌声与认可，消除误会，倍感自豪。 2.续写线索：伤心落泪——遇到Mr. Jordan——询问原因——得到鼓励——鼓励自信——回到教室——再次创作——得到认可——消除误会 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①温柔地笑了：smile gently/beamed mildly ②保证：assure/guarante ③爆发：break out/burst fort 情绪类 ①值得赞赏的：admirable/respectable ②真诚地：sincerely/genuinely 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mr. Jordan listened attentively, nodding occasionally as I spoke.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型2】The tension lifted, and I felt a sense of pride knowing that I did surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
