B My eye-opening years living among the locals in Nicaragua Having lived among the locals in Nicaragua (尼加拉瓜) or what is now three years, I’ve experienced cultural differences that are still alien to my British eyes. While I find it rather disgraceful to try to attract the attention of someone with a sound which a Brit would reserve only for calling animals, for him this is perfectly normal and polite. I also think it is rude to walk into a shop and say give me without a please or a thank you but he doesn’t and neither does the shopkeeper. I have also had to learn yet another foreign language of hand gestures and body language. “Come here” is always done with the palm down, smacking the elbows implies a person is tight with their money and the strangers one of all for me is — pointing with the lips the first few times this happened it looked like someone was blowing me a kiss — how wrongly I could have translated that one. Economic status of Nicaragua, one of the poorest Central American nations, influences its culinary practices. I have to confess to becoming thoroughly bored with gallo pinto — the ubiquitous rice and beans dish of Nicaragua—after a few weeks but for many Nicaraguans this is breakfast, lunch and dinner, their whole life. It is the cheapest way to keep the family fed and where food is concerned nothing here is wasted. Can you imagine piling the entire family onto a scooter (小型摩托车)? It’s perfectly normal for Nicaraguans. Dad drives, the child old enough to stand is perched on the footplate holding onto the handlebars, a toddler clings onto dad’s back while mum with a babe in arms is riding (sometimes side-saddle) at the back. Even after three years, it still fascinates me that the locals can sit in a rocking chair outside their houses, doing nothing for hours, without getting bored. There have been times when i have been led to question my own attitudes and been shown levels of patience, bravery and positivity in the face of hardship which my own culture could learn a great deal from. 4. Which of the following actions is unusual for Nicaraguans? A. Pointing to the things they want with the lip. B. Showing their strength by smacking the elbows. C. Serving customers without saying “please” or “thank you”. D. Greeting with a sound of what a Brit thinks of as calling animals. 5. Which word can best replace the underlined word “culinary” in Paragraph 4? A. Trading. B. Cooking. C. Traveling. D. Communicating. 6. How many family members can be on a scooter according to the text? A Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 7. What does the writer think of Nicaraguan culture after there for three years? A. Strange and boring. B. Simple and uncivilized. C. Backward but fascinating. D. Surprising but worth learning. C If you have been out and about in Atlanta, you have probably seen something very unusual—groups of people who are reading silently to themselves. These meet-ups are a way for people to read and socialize, which is part of a growing trend of Silent Book Club (SBC). The global organization has over 1,000 branches where adults of all ages come to read. The first chapter was founded in San Francisco in 2012 by two women, and the idea really took off and is now fostering this love of reading and connection in 50 countries. The Atlanta chapter usually has between 130 and 170 people attending. It is increasingly popular with the participants. “It is a space where I can quietly read with others,” Danielle Clarke, a reader with SBC Atlanta, said. Once the reading session ends, people can move around and socialize with one another, or not. “As a new reader, I thought it would be special to step into this space with my books and hopefully meet new people,” said Spencer Bonner, another reader with SBC Atlanta. SBC is part of a new resurgence (复苏) of the old-style book clubs, where everyone reads the same book and comes together to discuss it. In this digital world where people work long days on computers, book clubs are a way to make genuine human offline connections. “I want to connect with my friends in a context that doesn’t rely on spending money and the book club offers at least one inexpensive social opportunity per month,” one book club regular said. Some book clubs focus on economic issues while others focus on literature. What they all have in common is that they give people a sense of belonging, something everyone needs. 8. What phenomenon will you see in Atlanta? A. People seldom read alone. B. People read quietly together. C. People like to get together. D. People spare no effort to socialize. 9. What can be learned about SBC? A. It is female readers’ favourite. B. It focuses on literary works. C. It is increasingly popular. D. It holds online reading events. 10. What does SBC satisfy according to the last paragraph? A. Thirst for knowledge. B. Need to discussion. C. Search for partners. D. Desire to belong. 11 What would be a suitable title for the text? A. SBC: An Old Social Tradition B. SBC: Bridging Digital Divides C. SBC: Redefining Literary Gatherings D. SBC: Mixing Reading And Socializing D While often seen as a negative (消极的) emotion, anger can also be a powerful motivator (促进因素) for people to achieve challenging goals in their lives, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. “People often believe that a state of happiness is perfect,” said lead author Heather Lench, PhD, a professor in the department of psychologcal and brain sciences at Texas A & M University, “but previous research suggests that a mix of emotions, including negative emotions like anger, results in good outcomes.” The functionalist theory of emotion suggests that all emotions, good or bad, are reactions to events within a person’s environment and help that person to make proper actions, according to Lench. For example, sadness may suggest that a person needs to seek help or emotional support, while anger may indicate a person needs to take action to overcome an obstacle (障碍). To better understand the role of anger in achieving goals, researchers conducted a series of experiments involving more than 1,000 participants and analyzed survey data from more than 1,400 respondents. In each experiment, participants either had an emotional response (such as anger, amusement, desire or sadness) or a neutral (中性的) emotional state, and then were presented with a challenging goal. Across all the experiments, anger improved people’s ability to reach their goals compared with a neutral condition in a variety of challenging situations. “Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes well-being, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations,” Lench said. 12. What is commonly believed concerning people’s emotions? A. It is believed that a state of joy is great. B. A feeling of sadness leads to poor effect. C. Anger is actually a positive emotion. D. Pride acts as an obstacle to success. 13. Why did researchers do a seres of experiments? A. They hoped to overturn the previous findings. B. They hoped to prove that a state of happiness is ideal. C. They hoped to find the relationship between positive and negative emotions. D. They hoped to have a better understanding of the role of anger in attaining goals. 14. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The problem of the research. B. The background of the research. C. The process of the research. D. The significance of the research. 15. What’s Lench’s attitude to their research? A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Uncaring. D. Critical. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Productivity can be a struggle for many of us. It can be easy to feel upset with overflowing email inboxes, housework, social responsibilities. ____16____ Write it down, do the tasks and cross them off! There are three key reasons why lists are beneficial. Firstly, they help to drown out the disorder and anxiety that comes with having never-ending tasks. By writing everything down, we don’t have to rely on our memory and can instead focus on the task at hand. ____17____ Secondly, lists provide structure and guidance, giving us a plan to follow. As well as this, our brains are more likely to keep information that is presented in a structure d and organized manner. ____18____ They act as proof of what we have achieved, which can help boost our sense of accomplishment and motivation. Seeing our progress on paper can be a great motivator to keep going and tackle more tasks. Another reason why our brains love lists is something called the “Zeigarnik Effect”, which means we tend to better remember unfinished tasks than completed ones. Researchers found that people who permitted to plan had reduced anxiety and performed better in the next task. ____19____ In conclusion, the to-do list is an invaluable tool for managing our daily lives. ____20____ It just might be the key to unlocking your full potential. A. Finally, lists give us the psychological boost as well. B. Instead, we can check our lists to remind us of what's next. C. This not only helps us stay organized but also reduces mental stress. D. Nevertheless, making a to-do list is not always a straightforward process. E. However, one simple tool that can help us stay on top of everything is the to-do list. F. The next time you feel overwhelmed, grab a pen and paper, and start making your list. G. This finding highlights the importance of completing tasks and crossing them off our lists. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last year, as my 9-year-old son, Leopold, and I prepared for a ski trip to Keystone, I set a rule: We would say yes to everything.

Maddy’s daughter Cathy suffered from a condition called spina bifida (脊柱裂). She spent most of her life in a wheelchair, which made even the simplest tasks a tough challenge. One such challenge for Cathy was getting a haircut. As Maddy’s neighbor, I witnessed the daily struggle firsthand and felt the urge to help. A hairstylist myself, I decided to visit Maddy’s home to cut Cathy’s hair. Little did I know this small act would light a spark within me. Through my visits, I realized that many others in our community had the same problem. Maddy explained the difficulties special groups of people encountered — the loud noises and strong smells in regular hair salons were too much for people with autism (自闭症). Also, just getting into a salon was tough for people in wheelchairs. Her words touched me, and I wondered if there was something more I could do to help. An idea began to form in my mind — I could open a special salon, a place where people with physical disabilities or psychological problems would feel more comfortable. It wouldn’t just be easy to enter for people in wheelchairs; it would also have floors with different textures (纹理) to help those who can’t see well. To make the place even more comfortable, it would have calm music instead of loud pop songs. Toys and blankets would be on hand to help people stay calm. Hairstylists would use quiet hair dryers and soft voices. They would also learn how to help customers who don’t like others touching their hair. Most importantly, they would treat every customer with the same level of respect. The only issue was that I didn’t have the funds to make this dream a reality. As a hairstylist, I had limited savings. Maddy suggested, “How about organizing a community bazaar (义卖) in our neighborhood this Saturday to raise funds for the salon?” Her eyes shone with enthusiasm as she continued, “People love supporting good causes, and I’m sure many would join in to help create a place where everyone feels comfortable getting a haircut.” I nodded, recognizing the brilliance in her plan. 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。 Paragraph 1: As Saturday approached, something changed in our neighborhood. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Even after the end of the community bazaar, our neighbors’ support didn’t stop there. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1~5 CABBA 6~10 ABABC 11~15 CABBC 16~20 ACACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年阜阳三中高二年级第一学期第一次调研考试 英语试卷 考生注意： 1.本试卷由四个部分组成。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3.本卷命题范围：人教版必修一、必修二、必修三、选必一。 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.

While I find it rather disgraceful to try to attract the attention of someone with a sound which a Brit would reserve only for calling animals, for him this is perfectly normal and polite. I also think it is rude to walk into a shop and say give me without a please or a thank you but he doesn’t and neither does the shopkeeper. I have also had to learn yet another foreign language of hand gestures and body language. “Come here” is always done with the palm down, smacking the elbows implies a person is tight with their money and the strangers one of all for me is — pointing with the lips the first few times this happened it looked like someone was blowing me a kiss — how wrongly I could have translated that one. Economic status of Nicaragua, one of the poorest Central American nations, influences its culinary practices. I have to confess to becoming thoroughly bored with gallo pinto — the ubiquitous rice and beans dish of Nicaragua—after a few weeks but for many Nicaraguans this is breakfast, lunch and dinner, their whole life. It is the cheapest way to keep the family fed and where food is concerned nothing here is wasted. Can you imagine piling the entire family onto a scooter (小型摩托车)? It’s perfectly normal for Nicaraguans. Dad drives, the child old enough to stand is perched on the footplate holding onto the handlebars, a toddler clings onto dad’s back while mum with a babe in arms is riding (sometimes side-saddle) at the back. Even after three years, it still fascinates me that the locals can sit in a rocking chair outside their houses, doing nothing for hours, without getting bored. There have been times when i have been led to question my own attitudes and been shown levels of patience, bravery and positivity in the face of hardship which my own culture could learn a great deal from. 4. Which of the following actions is unusual for Nicaraguans? A. Pointing to the things they want with the lip. B. Showing their strength by smacking the elbows. C. Serving customers without saying “please” or “thank you”. D. Greeting with a sound of what a Brit thinks of as calling animals. 5. Which word can best replace the underlined word “culinary” in Paragraph 4? A. Trading. B. Cooking. C. Traveling. D. Communicating. 6 How many family members can be on a scooter according to the text? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 7. What does the writer think of Nicaraguan culture after there for three years? A. Strange and boring. B. Simple and uncivilized. C. Backward but fascinating. D. Surprising but worth learning. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在尼加拉瓜生活的一些经历和感受。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““Come here” is always done with the palm down, smacking the elbows implies a person is tight with their money and the strangers one of all for me is —pointing with the lips the first few times this happened it looked like someone was blowing me a kiss—how wrongly I could have translated that one.(“过来”总是用掌心向下的手势来表示，拍打肘部则暗示一个人手头拮据，而对我来说最陌生的是——用嘴唇指东西，一开始几次我以为有人在向我飞吻——我差点误解了这个意思。)”可知，通过拍打肘部来显示他们的力量对尼加拉瓜人来说是不寻常的。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I have to confess to becoming thoroughly bored with gallo pinto—the ubiquitous rice and beans dish of Nicaragua—after a few weeks but for many Nicaraguans this is breakfast, lunch and dinner, their whole life. It is the cheapest way to keep the family fed and where food is concerned nothing here is wasted.(我不得不承认，几周后我就对gallo pinto——一种在尼加拉瓜随处可见的米饭和豆子菜——感到彻底厌倦了，但对许多尼加拉瓜人来说，这是他们一生的早餐、午餐和晚餐。这是养家糊口最便宜的方式，在食物方面，这里没有任何浪费)”可知，后文主要讲述了尼加拉瓜的烹饪习惯。故划线词意思是“烹饪”。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Dad drives, the child old enough to stand is perched on the footplate holding onto the handlebars, a toddler clings onto dad’s back while mum with a babe in arms is riding (sometimes side-saddle) at the back.(爸爸开车，能站起来的孩子抓着车把坐在踏板上，一个蹒跚学步的孩子抱在爸爸的背上，妈妈抱着婴儿坐在后面（有时是侧座）)”可知，一辆滑板车可以坐5个家庭成员。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even after three years, it still fascinates me that the locals can sit in a rocking chair outside their houses, doing nothing for hours, without getting bored.(即使三年过去了，当地人可以坐在屋外的摇椅上，无所事事几个小时，也不会感到无聊，这一点仍然让我着迷)”可知，在尼加拉瓜生活了三年之后，作者认为尼加拉瓜文化令人惊讶但值得学习。故选D。 C If you have been out and about in Atlanta, you have probably seen something very unusual—groups of people who are reading silently to themselves. These meet-ups are a way for people to read and socialize, which is part of a growing trend of Silent Book Club (SBC). The global organization has over 1,000 branches where adults of all ages come to read. The first chapter was founded in San Francisco in 2012 by two women, and the idea really took off and is now fostering this love of reading and connection in 50 countries. The Atlanta chapter usually has between 130 and 170 people attending. It is increasingly popular with the participants. “It is a space where I can quietly read with others,” Danielle Clarke, a reader with SBC Atlanta, said. Once the reading session ends, people can move around and socialize with one another, or not. “As a new reader, I thought it would be special to step into this space with my books and hopefully meet new people,” said Spencer Bonner, another reader with SBC Atlanta. SBC is part of a new resurgence (复苏) of the old-style book clubs, where everyone reads the same book and comes together to discuss it. In this digital world where people work long days on computers, book clubs are a way to make genuine human offline connections. “I want to connect with my friends in a context that doesn’t rely on spending money and the book club offers at least one inexpensive social opportunity per month,” one book club regular said. Some book clubs focus on economic issues while others focus on literature. What they all have in common is that they give people a sense of belonging, something everyone needs. 8. What phenomenon will you see in Atlanta? A. People seldom read alone. B. People read quietly together. C. People like to get together. D. People spare no effort to socialize. 9. What can be learned about SBC? A. It is female readers’ favourite. B. It focuses on literary works. C. It is increasingly popular. D. It holds online reading events. 10. What does SBC satisfy according to the last paragraph? A. Thirst for knowledge. B. Need to discussion. C. Search for partners. D. Desire to belong. 11. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. SBC: An Old Social Tradition B. SBC: Bridging Digital Divides C. SBC: Redefining Literary Gatherings D. SBC: Mixing Reading And Socializing 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是无声读书俱乐部（SBC）以及其受欢迎的现象。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“If you have been out and about in Atlanta, you have probably seen something very unusual—groups of people who are reading silently to themselves.(如果你去过亚特兰大，你可能会看到一些非常不寻常的事情——一群人在默默阅读)”可知，在亚特兰大，你会看到人们一起安静地读书的现象。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It is increasingly popular with the participants.(它越来越受到参与者的欢迎)”可知，SBC越来越受欢迎。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some book clubs focus on economic issues while others focus on literature. What they all have in common is that they give people a sense of belonging, something everyone needs.(一些读书会关注经济问题，而另一些则关注文学。它们的共同点是，它们给人们一种归属感，这是每个人都需要的)”可知，SBC满足渴望归属的需要。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you have been out and about in Atlanta, you have probably seen something very unusual—groups of people who are reading silently to themselves. These meet-ups are a way for people to read and socialize, which is part of a growing trend of Silent Book Club (SBC).(如果你去过亚特兰大，你可能会看到一些非常不寻常的事情——一群人在默默阅读。这些聚会是人们阅读和社交的一种方式，这是无声读书俱乐部（SBC）日益增长的趋势的一部分)”结合文章主要介绍了什么是无声读书俱乐部（SBC）以及其受欢迎的现象。可知，D选项“SBC：把阅读和社交结合起来”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D While often seen as a negative (消极的) emotion, anger can also be a powerful motivator (促进因素) for people to achieve challenging goals in their lives, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. “People often believe that a state of happiness is perfect,” said lead author Heather Lench, PhD, a professor in the department of psychologcal and brain sciences at Texas A & M University, “but previous research suggests that a mix of emotions, including negative emotions like anger, results in good outcomes.” The functionalist theory of emotion suggests that all emotions, good or bad, are reactions to events within a person’s environment and help that person to make proper actions, according to Lench. For example, sadness may suggest that a person needs to seek help or emotional support, while anger may indicate a person needs to take action to overcome an obstacle (障碍). To better understand the role of anger in achieving goals, researchers conducted a series of experiments involving more than 1,000 participants and analyzed survey data from more than 1,400 respondents. In each experiment, participants either had an emotional response (such as anger, amusement, desire or sadness) or a neutral (中性的) emotional state, and then were presented with a challenging goal. Across all the experiments, anger improved people’s ability to reach their goals compared with a neutral condition in a variety of challenging situations. “Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes well-being, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations,” Lench said. 12. What is commonly believed concerning people’s emotions? A. It is believed that a state of joy is great. B. A feeling of sadness leads to poor effect. C. Anger is actually a positive emotion. D. Pride acts as an obstacle to success. 13. Why did researchers do a seres of experiments? A. They hoped to overturn the previous findings. B. They hoped to prove that a state of happiness is ideal. C. They hoped to find the relationship between positive and negative emotions. D. They hoped to have a better understanding of the role of anger in attaining goals. 14. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The problem of the research. B. The background of the research. C. The process of the research. D. The significance of the research. 15. What’s Lench’s attitude to their research? A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Uncaring. D. Critical. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项实验表明，愤怒是人们实现人生中具有挑战性目标的强大动力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“People often believe that a state of happiness is perfect (人们通常认为幸福状态是完美的)”可知，人们普遍认为幸福的状态是很棒的。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“To better understand the role of anger in achieving goals, researchers conducted a series of experiments involving more than 1,000 participants and analyzed survey data from more than 1,400 respondents. (为了更好地理解愤怒在实现目标中的作用，研究人员进行了一系列实验，涉及1000多名参与者，并分析了1400多名受访者的调查数据)”可知，研究人员进行了一系列实验是为了更好地理解愤怒在实现目标中的作用。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“To better understand the role of anger in achieving goals, researchers conducted a series of experiments involving more than 1,000 participants and analyzed survey data from more than 1,400 respondents. In each experiment, participants either had an emotional response (such as anger, amusement, desire or sadness) or a neutral(中性的) emotional state, and then were presented with a challenging goal.

(为了更好地理解愤怒在实现目标中的作用，研究人员进行了一系列实验，涉及1000多名参与者，并分析了1400多名受访者的调查数据。在每个实验中，参与者要么有情绪反应（如愤怒、娱乐、欲望或悲伤），要么有中性的情绪状态，然后提出一个具有挑战性的目标。在所有的实验中，在各种具有挑战性的情况下，与中性条件相比，愤怒提高了人们实现目标的能力)”可知，这一段主要介绍研究的过程。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes well-being, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations,” Lench said.

Maddy’s daughter Cathy suffered from a condition called spina bifida (脊柱裂). She spent most of her life in a wheelchair, which made even the simplest tasks a tough challenge. One such challenge for Cathy was getting a haircut. As Maddy’s neighbor, I witnessed the daily struggle firsthand and felt the urge to help. A hairstylist myself, I decided to visit Maddy’s home to cut Cathy’s hair. Little did I know this small act would light a spark within me. Through my visits, I realized that many others in our community had the same problem. Maddy explained the difficulties special groups of people encountered — the loud noises and strong smells in regular hair salons were too much for people with autism (自闭症). Also, just getting into a salon was tough for people in wheelchairs. Her words touched me, and I wondered if there was something more I could do to help. An idea began to form in my mind — I could open a special salon, a place where people with physical disabilities or psychological problems would feel more comfortable. It wouldn’t just be easy to enter for people in wheelchairs; it would also have floors with different textures (纹理) to help those who can’t see well. To make the place even more comfortable, it would have calm music instead of loud pop songs. Toys and blankets would be on hand to help people stay calm. Hairstylists would use quiet hair dryers and soft voices. They would also learn how to help customers who don’t like others touching their hair. Most importantly, they would treat every customer with the same level of respect. The only issue was that I didn’t have the funds to make this dream a reality. As a hairstylist, I had limited savings. Maddy suggested, “How about organizing a community bazaar (义卖) in our neighborhood this Saturday to raise funds for the salon?” Her eyes shone with enthusiasm as she continued, “People love supporting good causes, and I’m sure many would join in to help create a place where everyone feels comfortable getting a haircut.” I nodded, recognizing the brilliance in her plan. 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。 Paragraph 1: As Saturday approached, something changed in our neighborhood. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Even after the end of the community bazaar, our neighbors’ support didn’t stop there. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Paragraph 1: As Saturday approached, something changed in our neighborhood. The familiar streets became lively with colorful stalls, each offering different goods and crafts. The smell of freshly baked bread filled the air, and the sounds of laughter and cheerful chatter echoed along the sidewalks. Neighbors, young and old, flocked to the event, contributing not only as buyers but also as sellers and volunteers. Our community bazaar, once just an idea, had blossomed into a real gathering with a shared purpose. Seeing how successful the event was, I felt excited and grateful. Judging from Maddy’s smile, I knew she shared the same feeling with me. Paragraph 2: Even after the end of the community bazaar, our neighbors’ support didn’t stop there. Donations continued to flow in, and several local businesses reached out, offering to sponsor or donate materials for the salon. My heart would swell with joy every time I saw their enthusiastic smiles. After six months, we finally had enough funds to open our hair salon. I invited Cathy to be our first customer. As I watched the scissors cutting through the air, I realized it wasn’t just a haircut for Cathy — it symbolized the sympathy and victory of a community coming together to make a positive difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者看到身边的人需要帮助，于是决定开一个特别的沙龙，一个身体残疾或有心理问题的人会感觉更舒服的地方。由于足够的资金，于是组织了一个义卖活动，社区的人们都积极支持活动，作者最终也筹集到了足够的资金开了发廊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着星期六的临近，我们的社区发生了一些变化”可知，第一段可描写社区的人们积极支持活动，作者感到感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“即使在社区义卖结束后，邻居们的支持也不止于此”可知，第二段可描写作者得到了足够多的捐款，最终开了发廊。 2.续写线索：社区义卖——人们支持——作者激动感谢——筹集到足够捐款——开发廊——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提议：offer/propose ②看到：see/spot ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①感谢：grateful/thankful ②快乐：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Donations continued to flow in, and several local businesses reached out, offering to sponsor or donate materials for the salon.
