B Undergoing surgery can be really scary, especially for children. But a team of highly intelligent researchers have developed something that will make the experience less frightening, and the driving force behind it — a robot car. According to a study conducted by Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona Children’s Hospital, six out of 10 young patients who undergo surgery experience stress before receiving anaesthesia (麻醉). While pharmacological strategies are used to ease this, the side-effects can cause the experience to be more stressful. Working with the hospital to explore alternative solutions, researchers from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya developed a robot car as an initiative to reduce feelings of fear and anxiety. This innovative product can detect the emotions of the children by their facial expressions, heart rate, and breathing patterns, while adapting to their needs by interacting with them, changing color, making music, and creating smells. It was tested in a pilot study of 86 children aged between three and nine from 2020 to 2023, and received positive feedback from both the children and their parents. “It gave the children the feeling of control, and having an active role in the process without realising it, in a way that was fun,” a paediatric (儿科的) nurse Carmen Jerez said. “The parents were able to walk with them, talking about their driving, and they could see that their child was experiencing less anxiety and fear.” Though it has been put on hold while it awaits funding to develop a new prototype (原型), it’s clear that this technology is capable of revolutionising the well-being support of children in healthcare settings. 4. Why would the researchers from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya create the robot car? A. To help the physicians with surgeries. B. To help develop the creativity of children. C. To relieve pre-operation anxiety of children. D. To reduce the side-effects caused by anaesthesia. 5. What does paragraph 4 focus on concerning the robot car? A. The operating principle. B. The supportive feedbacks. C. The test procedures. D. The potential drawbacks. 6. What does the author think of the future of the robot car? A. Promising. B. Hopeless. C. Competitive. D. Risky. 7. What’s the best title of the text? A. Scientists invented an innovative robot car B. Most children feel stressed before a surgery C. Robot car delivers joy to children in hospital D. Technology plays an important role in hospitals C The sellers say that blue-light-blocking glasses are designed to protect our eyes from the effects of short-wavelength light from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, this sounds like a smart investment, right? After all, eye strain (紧张) is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even cataracts (白内障) and other eye diseases. The glasses can cost £350 all the way up to around £1,500. But do they work? Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist (眼科医生) based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. Firstly, blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “Of course, the sun gives off a much higher level of blue light than man-made devices, and that’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood, alertness and sleep-wake cycle. The problem is blue light at night: It suppresses the release of melatonin. “Melatonin helps regulate our body rhythms and makes us sleepy,” says Dr. Esparaz. So, in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a table at night avoid sleeplessness. A Seeing Blue 2021 review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jetlag and shift work fell asleep faster after using these glasses. As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And a 2018 review study, also by Austra lianresearchers, found insufficient evidence that they prevent certain eye diseases. “These glasses aren’t going to be harmful,” says Dr. Esparaz. But, she adds, a lack of standardization in the industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another. A more reliable solution: Turn on the blue-light-filtering function on your devices and limit screen time before bed. To help with eye strain, Dr. Esparaz also suggests taking breaks and using lubricating (润滑) eye drops. 8. What can be inferred from Elizabeth Esparaz’s words? A. Blue light is beneficial to the body someway. B. Blue light merely comes from digital devices. C. Blue light from the sun does more harm to human. D. Glasses sellers are confused about the glasses’ function. 9. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “suppresses” in paragraph 3? A. Increases. B. Blocks. C. Promotes. D. Causes. 10. How did the author clarify the effectiveness of wearing blue-light-blocking glasses? A. By referring to the results of studies. B. By comparing the changes of the wearers. C. By offering different examples. D. By quoting the wearers’ comments. 11. Which statement might the author agree with to relieve eye strain? A. To wear blue-light-blocking glasses. B. To do eye exercises regularly. C. To control the screen time to rest eyes. D. To rely on eye drops to keep eyes healthy. D It has long been known that dogs can learn commands like “sit,” “stay,” or “fetch” and can respond to these words with learned behaviors, often with the help of a treat or two, but uncovering their understanding of nouns has proven more difficult. To look into the mystery, Boros from Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary and her colleagues, inspired by studies investigating the comprehension of babies before they can speak, decided to mimic (模仿) these experiments with dogs. They invited 18 dog owners to bring their pets to the lab along with five objects the animals knew well. These included balls, slippers, Frisbees, rubber toys, leads and other items. At the lab, the owners were instructed to say words for objects their dogs already knew. Then, the owners held up either the matching object or a different one while small metal discs harmlessly attached to the dogs’ heads measured brain activity in a process known as electroencephalography (EEG). Using EEG, the researchers aimed to observe any variances in brain activity when the dog’s owner mentioned a specific object, such as a “ball”, but displayed a different item, like a stick, as opposed to when both the spoken word and the presented object matched. This was indeed the case, with the results being strongest when the object was very familiar to the dog. That’s similar to what researchers have seen in humans and is widely accepted as evidence that they understand the words. Writing in Current Biology, the scientists say the results “provide the first neural evidence for object word knowledge in a non-human animal”. But the true extent of the dogs’ comprehension is still unknown, even by the study’s authors, since the dogs were responding to their own toys and objects that the owners brought to the lab. The researchers are now curious to know if this ability to understand referential language is specific to dogs or might be present in other mammals as well. Either way, they want to learn more about how this ability emerged and whether it depends on dogs’ unique experience of living with people. 12. Which aspect of dogs did Boros’s research focus on? A. Their speed of learning actions. B. Their willingness to follow orders. C. Their responses to training treats. D. Their capacity of understanding nouns. 13. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. The result of human-dog interactions. B. The process of Boros’s experiment. C. The logic of pattern matching. D. The theory of EEG analysis. 14. The brain recording results showed a different pattern in the brain when ______. A. pet owners showed more objects than usual B. dogs had a larger vocabulary of object words C. the experiment was conducted in a new environment D. the spoken word and the presented object mismatched 15. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Conclusions from the experiment. B. Insights into dogs’ experiences. C. Expectations for future studies. D. Applications of the discovery. 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。 Explore theme parks like a pro: tips for an unforgettable day of fun Plan and budget.

It was a winter day when I came to the library. The sunlight was bright but not warm. It was a typical southern winter day, windless but cold. The winter vacation was crucial for me, and studying in the library could efficiently improve my studies. I stood in front of the door with my backpack. On the board on the door read: “Community Library”. I pushed the door open. Behind the service desk sat an old man with gray hair and dark skin, wearing reading glasses. When he saw me, he pushed his glasses up. “Hello, I live nearby. My home is small and noisy. Can I study here?” I asked. The old man looked me over and nodded. I then moved to a table in the corner. After lunch every day, I would come to the library. Most of the time, it was just the old man and me, and the only sound was the hum (嗡嗡声) of the old air conditioner. When I felt too cold or tired of reading, I would get up and move around. Gradually, the old man would ask me if I needed hot water. Sometimes he brought me subject-related books. We had brief conversations sometimes. The old man grew up in the countryside and didn’t have much education. He worked in a factory when he was young, and after retiring, he came to the community library to work. Every day, I studied until sunset. When it was about time for the old man to get off work, I would pack up and get ready to leave. He would also stand up and tidy up. After I left, he would close the door, ending his day’s work. One afternoon, I went to the library to return some books. The old man was very happy that day and handed me a book, saying, “I found a book on the far right of the shelf in the corner. I’m sure you’ll like it” I nodded, took the book, and thanked him. 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。 A week later, I went to return the book, only to find an old lady locking the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Then why did the library close around 4 pm during the last few weeks?” I asked. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 ACBAC 6-10 CAACB 11-15 BCABC 16-20 ABAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024—2025学年度上学期高二年级二调考试 英语试卷 全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、考号等填写在试题卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 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) 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?

But a team of highly intelligent researchers have developed something that will make the experience less frightening, and the driving force behind it — a robot car. According to a study conducted by Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona Children’s Hospital, six out of 10 young patients who undergo surgery experience stress before receiving anaesthesia (麻醉). While pharmacological strategies are used to ease this, the side-effects can cause the experience to be more stressful. Working with the hospital to explore alternative solutions, researchers from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya developed a robot car as an initiative to reduce feelings of fear and anxiety. This innovative product can detect the emotions of the children by their facial expressions, heart rate, and breathing patterns, while adapting to their needs by interacting with them, changing color, making music, and creating smells. It was tested in a pilot study of 86 children aged between three and nine from 2020 to 2023, and received positive feedback from both the children and their parents. “It gave the children the feeling of control, and having an active role in the process without realising it, in a way that was fun,” a paediatric (儿科的) nurse Carmen Jerez said. “The parents were able to walk with them, talking about their driving, and they could see that their child was experiencing less anxiety and fear.” Though it has been put on hold while it awaits funding to develop a new prototype (原型), it’s clear that this technology is capable of revolutionising the well-being support of children in healthcare settings. 4. Why would the researchers from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya create the robot car? A. To help the physicians with surgeries. B. To help develop the creativity of children. C. To relieve pre-operation anxiety of children. D. To reduce the side-effects caused by anaesthesia. 5. What does paragraph 4 focus on concerning the robot car? A. The operating principle. B. The supportive feedbacks. C. The test procedures. D. The potential drawbacks. 6. What does the author think of the future of the robot car? A. Promising. B. Hopeless. C. Competitive. D. Risky. 7. What’s the best title of the text? A. Scientists invented an innovative robot car B. Most children feel stressed before a surgery C. Robot car delivers joy to children in hospital D. Technology plays an important role in hospitals 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了通过一所大学的研究者们和医院共同努力，制造出了能缓解儿童术前焦虑的机器人汽车。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to a study conducted by Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona Children’s Hospital, six out of 10 young patients who undergo surgery experience stress before receiving anaesthesia (麻醉).

Given how much time we spend on our devices, this sounds like a smart investment, right? After all, eye strain (紧张) is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even cataracts (白内障) and other eye diseases. The glasses can cost £350 all the way up to around £1,500. But do they work? Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist (眼科医生) based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. Firstly, blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “Of course, the sun gives off a much higher level of blue light than man-made devices, and that’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood, alertness and sleep-wake cycle. The problem is blue light at night: It suppresses the release of melatonin. “Melatonin helps regulate our body rhythms and makes us sleepy,” says Dr. Esparaz. So, in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a table at night avoid sleeplessness. A Seeing Blue 2021 review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jetlag and shift work fell asleep faster after using these glasses. As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And a 2018 review study, also by Austra lianresearchers, found insufficient evidence that they prevent certain eye diseases. “These glasses aren’t going to be harmful,” says Dr. Esparaz. But, she adds, a lack of standardization in the industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another. A more reliable solution: Turn on the blue-light-filtering function on your devices and limit screen time before bed. To help with eye strain, Dr. Esparaz also suggests taking breaks and using lubricating (润滑) eye drops. 8. What can be inferred from Elizabeth Esparaz’s words? A. Blue light is beneficial to the body someway. B. Blue light merely comes from digital devices. C. Blue light from the sun does more harm to human. D. Glasses sellers are confused about the glasses’ function. 9. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “suppresses” in paragraph 3? A. Increases. B. Blocks. C. Promotes. D. Causes. 10. How did the author clarify the effectiveness of wearing blue-light-blocking glasses? A. By referring to the results of studies. B. By comparing the changes of the wearers. C. By offering different examples. D. By quoting the wearers’ comments. 11. Which statement might the author agree with to relieve eye strain? A. To wear blue-light-blocking glasses. B. To do eye exercises regularly. C. To control the screen time to rest eyes. D. To rely on eye drops to keep eyes healthy. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕着防蓝光眼镜是否有效果展开，说明了防蓝光眼镜在晚上使用可以避免失眠，但在缓解眼部疲劳以及预防眼部疾病方面没有太大的作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“‘Of course, the sun gives off a much higher level of blue light than man-made devices, and that’s actually beneficial,’ says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood, alertness and sleep-wake cycle.(埃斯帕拉斯博士说，‘当然，太阳发出的蓝光比人造设备高得多，这实际上是有益的。它有助于我们的情绪、警觉性和睡眠-觉醒周期。’)”可知，蓝光在某种程度上对身体是有好处的。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“The problem is blue light at night(问题是晚上的蓝光)”可知，蓝光在夜晚是有问题的，说明蓝光在夜晚有不好的作用；再根据画线词下文“‘Melatonin helps regulate our body rhythms and makes us sleepy,’ says Dr. Esparaz.(埃斯帕拉斯博士说，褪黑素有助于调节我们的身体节律，让我们昏昏欲睡。)”可知，褪黑素有助于调节身体节奏，帮助人入睡。由此可推知，蓝光会抑制褪黑素的分泌，画线词意为“抑制”。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“A Seeing Blue 2021 review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jetlag and shift work fell asleep faster after using these glasses.(俄克拉荷马大学2021年的一项Seeing Blue回顾性研究对之前的24项研究进行了研究，发现受睡眠障碍、时差和轮班工作影响的人在使用这些眼镜后睡得更快。)”以及第五段可推知，作者在阐述防蓝光眼镜的作用时，主要是通过陈述研究结论来说明的。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“A more reliable solution: Turn on the blue-light-filtering function on your devices and limit screen time before bed. To help with eye strain, Dr. Esparaz also suggests taking breaks and using lubricating (润滑) eye drops.(一个更可靠的解决方案是：打开设备上的蓝光过滤功能，限制睡前的屏幕时间。为了缓解眼睛疲劳，Esparaz博士还建议休息一下，使用润滑眼药水。)”可知，作者建议打开设备上的蓝光过滤功能，并限制睡前看屏幕的时间。故选C。 D It has long been known that dogs can learn commands like “sit,” “stay,” or “fetch” and can respond to these words with learned behaviors, often with the help of a treat or two, but uncovering their understanding of nouns has proven more difficult. To look into the mystery, Boros from Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary and her colleagues, inspired by studies investigating the comprehension of babies before they can speak, decided to mimic (模仿) these experiments with dogs. They invited 18 dog owners to bring their pets to the lab along with five objects the animals knew well. These included balls, slippers, Frisbees, rubber toys, leads and other items. At the lab, the owners were instructed to say words for objects their dogs already knew. Then, the owners held up either the matching object or a different one while small metal discs harmlessly attached to the dogs’ heads measured brain activity in a process known as electroencephalography (EEG). Using EEG, the researchers aimed to observe any variances in brain activity when the dog’s owner mentioned a specific object, such as a “ball”, but displayed a different item, like a stick, as opposed to when both the spoken word and the presented object matched. This was indeed the case, with the results being strongest when the object was very familiar to the dog. That’s similar to what researchers have seen in humans and is widely accepted as evidence that they understand the words. Writing in Current Biology, the scientists say the results “provide the first neural evidence for object word knowledge in a non-human animal”. But the true extent of the dogs’ comprehension is still unknown, even by the study’s authors, since the dogs were responding to their own toys and objects that the owners brought to the lab. The researchers are now curious to know if this ability to understand referential language is specific to dogs or might be present in other mammals as well. Either way, they want to learn more about how this ability emerged and whether it depends on dogs’ unique experience of living with people. 12. Which aspect of dogs did Boros’s research focus on? A. Their speed of learning actions. B. Their willingness to follow orders. C. Their responses to training treats. D. Their capacity of understanding nouns. 13. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. The result of human-dog interactions. B. The process of Boros’s experiment. C. The logic of pattern matching. D. The theory of EEG analysis. 14. The brain recording results showed a different pattern in the brain when ______. A. pet owners showed more objects than usual B. dogs had a larger vocabulary of object words C. the experiment was conducted in a new environment D. the spoken word and the presented object mismatched 15. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Conclusions from the experiment. B. Insights into dogs’ experiences. C. Expectations for future studies. D. Applications of the discovery. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一项研究狗对名词理解能力的实验。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“but uncovering their understanding of nouns has proven more difficult. (但揭示它们对名词的理解却更加困难。)”以及第二段“To look into the mystery, Boros from Eötvös Lorán d University in Hungary and her colleagues, inspired by studies investigating the comprehension of babies before they can speak, decided to mimic(模仿) these experiments with dogs. (为了揭开这个谜团，匈牙利 Eötvös Lorán d 大学的 Boros 和她的同事们受到研究婴儿在会说话前的理解能力的启发，决定用狗来模拟这些实验。) ”可知，Boros的研究重点是狗理解名词的能力。故选D。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“They invited 18 dog owners to bring their pets to the lab along with five objects the animals knew well. These included balls, slippers, Frisbees, rubber toys, leads and other items. At the lab, the owners were instructed to say words for objects their dogs already knew. Then, the owners held up either the matching object or a different one while small metal disc s harmlessly attached to the dogs’ heads measured brain activity in a process known as electroencephalography (EEG). (他们邀请了 18 位狗主人带着他们的宠物和 5 个动物熟悉的物品到实验室。这些物品包括球、拖鞋、飞盘、橡胶玩具、绳索和其他物品。在实验室里，主人被要求说出狗已经知道的物品的名称。然后，主人举起匹配的物品或不同的物品，同时无害地贴在狗头上的小金属盘测量大脑活动，这一过程被称为脑电图（EEG）。) ”可知，该段主要介绍了研究人员对狗进行实验的过程。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Using EEG, the researchers aimed to observe any variances in brain activity when the dog’s owner mentioned a specific object, such as a “ball”, but displayed a different item, like a stick, as opposed to when both the spoken word and the presented object matched. This was indeed the case, with the results being strongest when the object was very familiar to the dog.(研究人员使用脑电图（EEG）的目的是观察当狗的主人提到一个特定的物体，比如“球”，但展示的是一个不同的物品，如棍棒，与说出的单词和展示的物体相匹配时相比，大脑活动的任何变化。结果确实如此，当物体对狗来说非常熟悉时，结果最为显著)”可知，当说出的单词和呈现的物体不匹配时，狗的大脑活动会有所不同。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers are now curious to know if this ability to understand referential language is specific to dogs or might be present in other mammals as well. Either way, they want to learn more about how this ability emerged and whether it depends on dogs’ unique experience of living with people. (研究人员现在好奇的是，这种理解指涉语言的能力是狗特有的，还是也可能存在于其他哺乳动物中。无论哪种方式，他们都想更多地了解这种能力是如何出现的，以及它是否取决于狗与人类生活的独特经历) ”可知，研究人员希望了解这种能力是如何出现的，以及它是否取决于狗与人类生活的独特经历，这表明他们对未来的研究充满期待。故选C。 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。 Explore theme parks like a pro: tips for an unforgettable day of fun Plan and budget.

The sunlight was bright but not warm. It was a typical southern winter day, windless but cold. The winter vacation was crucial for me, and studying in the library could efficiently improve my studies. I stood in front of the door with my backpack. On the board on the door read: “Community Library”. I pushed the door open. Behind the service desk sat an old man with gray hair and dark skin, wearing reading glasses. When he saw me, he pushed his glasses up. “Hello, I live nearby. My home is small and noisy. Can I study here?” I asked. The old man looked me over and nodded. I then moved to a table in the corner. After lunch every day, I would come to the library. Most of the time, it was just the old man and me, and the only sound was the hum (嗡嗡声) of the old air conditioner. When I felt too cold or tired of reading, I would get up and move around. Gradually, the old man would ask me if I needed hot water. Sometimes he brought me subject-related books. We had brief conversations sometimes. The old man grew up in the countryside and didn’t have much education. He worked in a factory when he was young, and after retiring, he came to the community library to work. Every day, I studied until sunset. When it was about time for the old man to get off work, I would pack up and get ready to leave. He would also stand up and tidy up. After I left, he would close the door, ending his day’s work. One afternoon, I went to the library to return some books. The old man was very happy that day and handed me a book, saying, “I found a book on the far right of the shelf in the corner. I’m sure you’ll like it” I nodded, took the book, and thanked him. 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。 A week later, I went to return the book, only to find an old lady locking the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Then why did the library close around 4 pm during the last few weeks?” I asked. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： A week later, I went to return the book, only to find an old lady locking the door. I checked my watch and saw it wasn’t closing time yet, so I asked her. She didn’t speak but pointed to a notice on the foam board on the wall. The board showed the library’s closing time: 2 pm. I was puzzled and asked when the closing time had changed. She said that it had never changed and that the closing time had always been 2 pm. I was shocked at the fact. “Then why did the library close around 4 pm during the last few weeks?” I asked. She smiled and said, “So you are that child.” She told me the library indeed closed late the past few weeks because the old man said there was a child who needed to study... At that moment, I was stunned, and my nose felt a bit sour. I looked up to hold back my tears, and a ray of sunlight shone on my face. The sunlight was warm. It was a typical southern winter day, windless and chilly, but the sunlight was spreading across the earth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了寒假时，作者去图书馆学习，图书馆的老人每天陪伴作者，在作者收拾东西准备离开时，老人也会站起来收拾，作者离开后，老人会关上门，结束一天的工作。一天下午，老人向作者推荐了一本书，作者表示感谢。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一周后，我去还书，却发现一位老太太正在锁门。”可知，第一段可描写在老太太的解释下，作者了解到事实上图书馆的闭馆时间是下午2点，作者感觉震惊。 ②由第二段首句内容““那为什么图书馆在过去几周的下午4点左右关门了？”我问。”可知，第二段可描写作者得知老人4点关门的原因，作者很感动。 2.续写线索：作者还书——被告知本应2点闭馆——作者震惊——得知老人4点关门的原因——作者感动 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②改变：change/alter ③学习：study/learn 情绪类 ①困惑的：puzzled/confused ②震惊的：shocked/astonished 【点睛】【高分句型1】I was puzzled and asked when the closing time had changed.(运用了when引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】She told me the library indeed closed late the past few weeks because the old man said there was a child who needed to study.(运用了省略that引导的宾语从句，because引导的原因状语从句，第二个省略that引导的宾语从句，who引导的限制性定语从句) 听力答案：1-5 ACBAC 6-10 CAACB 11-15 BCABC 16-20 ABAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
