B Smoking is even a tradition in Chinese celebrations. At my wedding, we handed out the traditional candies to people who came. I had said to my wife, Ellen, that handing out packets of cigarettes was wrong, as it just encouraged people to continue a deadly habit. “But it’s traditional,” she replied, “People would think we were mean if we don’t!” Over the years I’ve been given cigarettes as gifts and have always handed them straight back. This might make me look ungrateful in Chinese eyes, but I can’t understand the logic behind handing someone a gift that will cause them to smell terrible, have awful breath, and even worse, kill them. This year the university I work at has taken the bold step of making the entire campus “smoke free”. As my students are either doctors doing postgraduates studies, or medical students on their way to being doctors, I thought they would be in favor of such a move, but I was wrong. Many of them have complained to me that they see this as depriving them of their civil rights and that they should be allowed to smoke when and where they like. When I pointed out to them that cigarettes do harm not only to those smoking themselves, but even to those breathing in second hand smoke, the argument was dismissed with a wave. “Those studies aren’t conclusive”, one doctor replied. “Besides, my grandmother told me that smoking is manly.” Tempting(诱人的) as it was to ask if she was also a doctor, I let the argument go and went off in search of some fresh air. 4. Which of the following is a consequence of smoking according to the author? A. It will leave you breathless. B. People believe you are mean. C. People think you are ungrateful. D. It will make your smell unpleasant. 5. What attitude do many of the author’s students have towards the entire campus “smoke free”? A. Objective. B. Unconcerned. C. Negative. D. Positive. 6. What does the underlined word “depriving” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Robbing. B. Accusing. C. Informing. D. Reminding. 7. In which column of a newspaper is this text probably found? A. Technology. B. Entertainment. C. Art. D. Life. C Robots in space will be extracting (提取) gold from asteroids (小行星) within ten years if anew project backed by a Silicon Valley billionaire goes as planned. Peter Diamandis, the founder of Planetary Resources, said the company attempts to make the resources of space available to humanity. The initial stage, to be achieved in the next 18 to 24 months, is to launch a series of private telescopes which will orbit Earth. These will be used to search for the right type of asteroids. The plan is to use commercially built robotic ships to extract rocket fuel and valuable minerals from the rocks that regularly pass by Earth. Diamandis predicts that they could have their version of a space-based petrol station up and running by 2025. Several scientists not involved in the project argued that the project was daring, difficult and very pricey. They do not see how it could be cost-effective. But the founder of Planetary Resources has a track record of profiting from space exploration business. Diamandis was the first person to sell rides into space to tourists. “Before we started launching people into space as private citizens, people thought that was a ridiculous idea,” Diamandis said. “This is a long-term project. But it’s not a charity. We’ll make money.” The idea that asteroids could be mined for resources has been around for years. There are probably 1,500 asteroids that pass near Earth that would be good initial targets. They are at least 50 meters wide, and Diamandis figures ten percent of them have water and other valuable minerals. Richard Binzel, Professor of Planetary Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says, “The idea might be many decades ahead of its time. But you have to start somewhere as it might offer a new perspective of saving the earth from being over explored.” 8. What is supposed to be the first step of the project? A. Launching robots into Earth orbit. B. Sending some telescopes into space. C. Building a space-based petrol station. D. Using robotic ships to extract rocket fuel. 9. How did Diamandis use to make money from space exploration business? A By extracting gold from asteroids. B. By providing space travels for tourists. C. By being the first person to ride into space. D. By selling tickets to sce tourists' rides into space. 10. What does Richard Binzel think of the project? A. It is risky. B. It is complex. C. It is worthwhile. D. It is demanding. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Mining Asteroids B. Humans and Asteroids C. Space Exploration in Progress D. The Project of Extracting Minerals D Where do great musicians, great mathematicians and great sportspeople get their talent? For decades now, we have assumed that most of them are simply born with a talent that ordinary people do not have. When baseball legend Ted Williams claimed that his achievement had nothing to do with natural ability but were the result of practice, practice, practice, people assumed that he was merely being modest. But scientists now believe that there was a good deal of truth in what he said. Throughout the last century, it was accepted that we inherit （继承） many of our characteristics from our parents via their DNA, that each of us inherits a fixed amount of intelligence -a fixed IQ, and that most of us are to be ordinary. But now it is accepted that our genes interact with their surroundings, getting turned on and off all the time. “There are no genetic factors that can be studied independently of the environment,” explains Michael Meaney of McGill University. “And there are no environmental factors that function independently of our genes. They work alongside each other.” How does this view of the role of genes change our understanding of individual talent and abilities? Does it now mean that genes don’t matter, and that we all have the potential to be like, say, Lionel Messi or Lebron James? Such a claim flies in the face of reason. The genes we inherit clearly matter, as do genetic differences between individuals. But it is also true that Lionel Messi would not have become the super footballer he is, nor Lebron James a basketball superstar, without putting in thousands of hours of practice. They could have turned out entirely different people. Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees. “High academic achievers are not necessarily born much smarter than others but genes do count,” he writes in his book Talented Teenagers, “and above all they usually work harder and develop more self-discipline.” 12. What did Ted Williams think led to his success? A. His natural talent. B. His full commitment. C. His modest personality. D. His extraordinary intelligence. 13 What did we widely believe during the 20 century? A. Intelligence has little to do with DNA. B. Our genes interact with our environment. C. The majority of us are of average intelligence. D. Our character is simply decided by inherited DNA. 14. Why does the author mention “Lionel Messi” and “Lebron James” in paragraph 3? A. To clarify a point. B. To illustrate a rule. C. To offer a solution. D. To make a prediction. 15. Which statement will Kevin Rathunde probably agree with? A. Most of us are born to be average persons. B. We could all be geniuses if working hard enough. C. Genetie factors are more important than hard work. D. Great talent is a combination of genes and practice. 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。 When it comes to money, the world’s luckiest woman appears to be a 63-year-old American called Joan Ginther.

Whenever there was an exam, he watched very closely, making sure no act of cheating was neglected, and any student who cheated would be seriously punished. I remember many times after tests, Mr. Ward found that the students sitting around me had better scores than the others and the further away a student was from me, the worse his grade. Mr. Ward suspected that some of the juniors “accidentally” got some of my answers. So he and I had a very interesting talk about cheating. Mr. Ward once told me of some of the ways students tried to cheat. Student A intentionally “dropped” his pencil an unusually far distance from his desk. Then he stood up and walked slowly across the room to take it back. On the way, he glanced at the papers. Student B got a piece of paper and wrote down all the formulas (公式) on a tiny bit of paper taped to the inside of the kid’s palm. These incidents weren’t very rare. The last day of the entire school year, all I had left was my math exam and there seemed to be some definite tension in the air because this was the biggest test of the year. I saw some kids trying to do some last minute studying, some trying to calm themselves down by breathing slowly and some saying a silent prayer. Mr. Ward went to the front and started handing out the tests by rows. After explaining the rules of the test, he said very clearly, “If you cheat, I will take your test and tear it up. You will get a 0 for the biggest grade of the year.” Mr. Ward moved very effortlessly and efficiently about the room and during every test he went into a sort of RADAR mode. He sat at the front and watched the room for anything that might look like cheating. During this RADAR mode, if you were cheating, you would be caught. Guaranteed. 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。 Our test started and we were sitting there busy working on our papers. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Mr. Ward asked the kid he was watching to go to his office. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语 满分：100分 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A A Color Run at School What Is a Color Run?

At my wedding, we handed out the traditional candies to people who came.

(最初阶段将在未来18至24个月内实现，将发射一系列私人望远镜，绕地球运行)”可知，项目的最初阶段是往太空发射一系列私人望远镜。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Diamandis was the first person to sell rides into space to tourists. “Before we started launching people into space as private citizens, people thought that was a ridiculous idea,” Diamandis said. “This is a long-term project. But it’s not a charity. We’ll make money.”(迪亚曼迪斯是第一个向游客出售太空游乐设施的人。迪亚曼迪斯说：“在我们开始将人们作为普通公民送入太空之前，人们认为这是一个荒谬的想法。这是一个长期项目。但它不是慈善机构。我们会赚钱的。”)”可知，迪亚曼迪斯以前通过把游客送入太空旅行来获取利益。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Richard Binzel, Professor of Planetary Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says, “The idea might be many decades ahead of its time. But you have to start somewhere as it might offer a new perspective of saving the earth from being over explored.”(麻省理工学院行星科学教授Richard Binzel说：“这个想法可能比它的时代早了几十年。但你必须从某个地方开始，因为它可能会为拯救地球提供一个新的视角，使其免于被过度探索。”)”可推知，Richard Binzel认为这个新的项目是值得开发的。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Robots in space will be extracting (提取) gold from asteroids (小行星) within ten years if anew project backed by a Silicon Valley billionaire goes as planned.

Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees. “High academic achievers are not necessarily born much smarter than others but genes do count,” he writes in his book Talented Teenagers, “and above all they usually work harder and develop more self-discipline.” 12. What did Ted Williams think led to his success? A. His natural talent. B. His full commitment. C. His modest personality. D. His extraordinary intelligence. 13. What did we widely believe during the 20 century? A. Intelligence has little to do with DNA. B. Our genes interact with our environment. C. The majority of us are of average intelligence. D. Our character is simply decided by inherited DNA. 14. Why does the author mention “Lionel Messi” and “Lebron James” in paragraph 3? A. To clarify a point. B. To illustrate a rule. C. To offer a solution. D. To make a prediction. 15. Which statement will Kevin Rathunde probably agree with? A. Most of us are born to be average persons. B. We could all be geniuses if working hard enough. C. Genetie factors are more important than hard work. D. Great talent is a combination of genes and practice. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了一人的基因对人的天赋起到作用，但是周围的环境和后天的努力也会有影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When baseball legend Ted Williams claimed that his achievement had nothing to do with natural ability but were the result of practice, practice, practice, people assumed that he was merely being modest.(当棒球传奇人物泰德·威廉姆斯声称他的成就与天赋无关，而是练习、练习、再练习的结果时，人们以为他只是谦虚而已)”可知，泰德·威廉姆斯认为是他的努力导致了他的成功，也就是他的全身心的投入。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Throughout the last century, it was accepted that we inherit （继承） many of our characteristics from our parents via their DNA, that each of us inherits a fixed amount of intelligence -a fixed IQ, and that most of us are to be ordinary.(在上个世纪，人们普遍认为，我们通过DNA从父母那里继承了许多特征，我们每个人都继承了固定的智力——固定的智商，我们大多数人都是平凡的)”可知，在20世纪，我们普遍相信我们大多数人的智力一般。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“How does this view of the role of genes change our understanding of individual talent and abilities? Does it now mean that genes don’t matter, and that we all have the potential to be like, say, Lionel Messi or Lebron James? Such a claim flies in the face of reason. The genes we inherit clearly matter, as do genetic differences between individuals. But it is also true that Lionel Messi would not have become the super footballer he is, nor Lebron James a basketball superstar, without putting in thousands of hours of practice.(这种关于基因作用的观点如何改变我们对个人天赋和能力的理解?这是否意味着基因不重要，我们都有成为莱昂内尔·梅西或勒布朗·詹姆斯那样的潜力?这样的说法完全违背理性。我们遗传的基因显然很重要，个体之间的基因差异也很重要。但同样不可否认的是，如果没有成千上万小时的训练，莱昂内尔•梅西(Lionel Messi)就不会成为现在的超级足球运动员，勒布朗•詹姆斯(Lebron James)也不会成为篮球巨星)”可知，作者提到“莱昂内尔·梅西”和“勒布朗·詹姆斯”是为了阐明一个观点。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees. “High academic achievers are not necessarily born much smarter than others but genes do count,” he writes in his book Talented Teenagers, “and above all they usually work harder and develop more self-discipline.”(人才研究人员Kevin Rathunde对此表示赞同。他在《天才少年》一书中写道:“学业成绩优异的人不一定天生就比别人聪明，但基因确实很重要。最重要的是，他们通常更努力学习，更自律。”)”可知，Kevin Rathunde认为伟大的才能是基因和实践的结合。故选D项。 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。 When it comes to money, the world’s luckiest woman appears to be a 63-year-old American called Joan Ginther. She has managed to win the jackpot (头奖) four times. ____16____ Experts say that the chances of winning this much are extremely small. Mrs. Ginther’s first win was in 1993 when she won half of the $11 million first prize of the Texas Lottery (彩票). The rest of her money has come from scratch (刮) cards. You scratch these cards to expose if you have a winning code. They are very popular, but not many people who buy them win anything. However, Mrs. Ginther won $2 million from a Holiday Millionaire scratchcard in 2006 and then she won another $3 million from a Millions and Millions scratch card in 2008. ____17____ As a result of these wins, the Times Market in Bishop, where Mrs. Ginther bought her card, has become very popular. ____18____ The shop also receives calls from people trying to purchase scratch cards over the phone even though they live far away. However, not much is known about Mrs. Ginther. ____19____ Even her neighbours have very little to say about her. She is now rarely seen in Bishop because she moved away and she now lives in Las Vegas. Sun Bae, the owner of Times Market, remembers that Mrs. Ginther bought a new car for one of the town residents, even though she herself drives around in an old car. ____20____ And she bought her new home in Las Vegas and she donated her old home in Bishop to charity. “She has helped so many people,” Mrs. Bae said. A. That time, the card won $10 million. B. In total, she has won over $20 million! C. Obviously, her private life is very important to her. D. Additionally, she also bought a van for the local church. E. So she is perhaps as lucky with cards as with the lottery. F. Her answering machine says, “Please do not leave a message.” G. There are often long queues outside the shop and along the road nearby. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. G 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了世界上最幸运的女人——63岁的美国人Joan Ginther的故事，她中了4次头奖，总共赢了2000多万美元，不过她独来独往，为社区做了很多好事。 【16题详解】 根据上文“She has managed to win the jackpot (头奖) four times.(她已经四次中头奖了)”及下文提到的所有奖金数额可知，B. In total, she has won over $20 million!(她总共赢了2000多万美元！)能够衔接上文，符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Mrs. Ginther’s first win was in 1993 when she won half of the $11 million first prize of the Texas Lottery (彩票). The rest of her money has come from scratch (刮) cards.(Ginther夫人的第一次中奖是在1993年，当时她赢得了德克萨斯州彩票1100万美元头奖的一半。她其余的钱都来自刮刮卡)”及“They are very popular, but not many people who buy them win anything. However, Mrs. Ginther won $2 million from a Holiday Millionaire scratchcard in 2006 and then she won another $3 million from a Millions and Millions scratch card in 2008.(它们很受欢迎，但买它们的人并没有赢得什么。然而，Ginther夫人在2006年从“假日百万富翁”刮刮卡中赢得了200万美元，然后在2008年又从“百万和百万”刮刮卡中赢得了300万美元)”可知，Ginther夫人不仅从彩票中赢得大笔钱，玩刮刮卡时，运气也超级好。由此可知，E. So she is perhaps as lucky with cards as with the lottery.(因此，她玩刮刮卡的运气可能和买彩票一样好)能够衔接上文，符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“As a result of these wins, the Times Market in Bishop, where Mrs. Ginther bought her card, has become very popular.(这些胜利的结果是，Ginther夫人买卡片的地方——毕肖普市的时报市场变得非常受欢迎)”可知，因为Ginther夫人老中奖，Ginther夫人买刮刮卡的市场变得非常受欢迎，因此应该有很多人去买刮刮卡。由此可知，G. There are often long queues outside the shop and along the road nearby.(商店外面和附近的路上经常排着长队)能够衔接上文，符合语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“However, not much is known about Mrs.(然而，人们对金瑟夫人知之甚少)”及下文“Even her neighbours have very little to say about her. She is now rarely seen in Bishop because she moved away and she now lives in Las Vegas.(就连她的邻居也很少谈起她。她现在很少在毕夏普露面了，因为她搬走了，现在住在拉斯维加斯)”可知，Ginther夫人很低调，人们对她知之甚少。由此可知，C. Obviously, her private life is very important to her.(显然，她的私人生活对她来说非常重要)能够承上启下，符合语境。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Sun Bae, the owner of Times Market, remembers that Mrs. Ginther bought a new car for one of the town residents, even though she herself drives around in an old car.(时代市场的老板Sun Bae记得，金瑟尔夫人为镇上的一位居民买了一辆新车，尽管她自己开的是一辆旧车)”和“And she bought her new home in Las Vegas and she donated her old home in Bishop to charity. “She has helped so many people,” Mrs. Bae said.(她在拉斯维加斯买了新家，并将毕晓普的旧家捐给了慈善机构。“她帮助了很多人，”Bae说)”可知，Ginther夫人开始用她的钱做好事。由此可知，D. Additionally, she also bought a van for the local church.(此外，她还为当地教堂买了一辆面包车)继续讲述她的善行，能够衔接上文，符合语境。故选D。 第二部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分25分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C，D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I love wildlife.

But however we view money, moderate spending is certainly a good idea when we are still too young to get a job. There is a British saying that offers some good advice in this situation: ”Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after ____45____" 【答案】36. thought 37. starting 38. surprisingly 39. underdeveloped 40. the 41. for 42. richest 43. that 44. what 45. themselves 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要讨论了如今人们对金钱的看法。许多人认真地对待存钱的想法，节俭的观念也在富人中流行起来，就此作者建议人们在太年轻而找不到工作时应当适度消费。 【36题详解】 考查一般过去时。句意：早在1924年，在意大利，一群人认为无力抵制支出已成为一个主要的社会问题。根据时间状语“Back in 1924”可知句子是描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填thought。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们想出了一个主意，开始一天提醒人们存一些钱以备不时之需。空处作介词of 的宾语，应用动名词形式。故填starting。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：毫不奇怪，一场针对穷人的运动开始了。分析句子可知，空处作状语，修饰后面整个句子，应用副词形式。故填surprisingly。 【39题详解】 考查形容词。句意：欠发达国家的人们更容易接受谨慎理财的呼吁。空处应填形容词作定语，修饰名词world。故填underdeveloped。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：但节俭的观念也在富人中流行起来。根据空后“of being thrifty（节俭）”可知，idea表示特指，应用定冠词。故填the。 【41题详解】 考查介词。句意：以马克．扎克伯格为例。take……for example“以……为例”，为固定搭配。故填for。 【42题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：作为世界上最富有的人之一，Facebook 的创始人并没有在自己身上花太多钱。结合句意以及空前“one of the world’s”可知，此处指“世界上最富有的人之一”，使用形容词最高级。故填richest。 【43题详解】 考查同位语从句。句意：这与我们应该通过我们参加的活动而不是我们买的东西让自己快乐的观点有关。分析句子可知，此处为that引导的同位语从句，对先行词view的解释和说明，从句不缺成分，无意思需求。故填that。 【44题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：这与我们应该通过我们参加的活动而不是我们买的东西让自己快乐的观点有关。分析句子可知，此处为连接代词what引导的宾语从句，what在从句中作buy的宾语成分，意为“买的东西”。故填what。 【45题详解】 考查反身代词。句意：在这种情况下，有一句英国谚语提供了一些很好的建议：“节约，英镑会自己照顾自己的。”。根据句意可知，此处宾语和主语pounds是同一指代对象，应用反身代词。故填themselves。 第三部分 读后续写(共一节，满分25分) 46. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Mr. Ward couldn’t stand students cheating the most. Whenever there was an exam, he watched very closely, making sure no act of cheating was neglected, and any student who cheated would be seriously punished. I remember many times after tests, Mr. Ward found that the students sitting around me had better scores than the others and the further away a student was from me, the worse his grade. Mr. Ward suspected that some of the juniors “accidentally” got some of my answers. So he and I had a very interesting talk about cheating. Mr. Ward once told me of some of the ways students tried to cheat. Student A intentionally “dropped” his pencil an unusually far distance from his desk. Then he stood up and walked slowly across the room to take it back. On the way, he glanced at the papers. Student B got a piece of paper and wrote down all the formulas (公式) on a tiny bit of paper taped to the inside of the kid’s palm. These incidents weren’t very rare. The last day of the entire school year, all I had left was my math exam and there seemed to be some definite tension in the air because this was the biggest test of the year. I saw some kids trying to do some last minute studying, some trying to calm themselves down by breathing slowly and some saying a silent prayer. Mr. Ward went to the front and started handing out the tests by rows. After explaining the rules of the test, he said very clearly, “If you cheat, I will take your test and tear it up. You will get a 0 for the biggest grade of the year.” Mr. Ward moved very effortlessly and efficiently about the room and during every test he went into a sort of RADAR mode. He sat at the front and watched the room for anything that might look like cheating. During this RADAR mode, if you were cheating, you would be caught. Guaranteed. 注意：（1）续写词数应150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Our test started and we were sitting there busy working on our papers. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Mr. Ward asked the kid he was watching to go to his office. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Our test started and we were sitting there busy working on our papers. Given the importance of the test, all students put in a lot of effort to write down their answers. I was relieved when I finished it easily. With 15 minutes left, I carefully checked my answers. Then I put down my pencil and looked around. At that time, I noticed something peculiar. I was surprised to see a kid stretching his neck to sneak a look at other students’ answers. He was cheating! I was unsure of what to do when I saw Mr. Ward looking at the kid with anger in his eyes. Then Mr. Ward asked the kid he was watching to go to his office. The kid, feeling embarrassed and scared, slowly moved into the office. In front of the stern Mr. Ward, the kid stood still and silent, his head hanging low and his body shaking uncontrollably. Eventually, he was overwhelmed with guilt, tears of regret streaming down his face. In a tearful voice, he confessed to cheating in the test. Mr. Ward’s expression softened slightly. He gently patted the kid’s head and said seriously, “Honesty is the most important thing!” The kid nodded in understanding. Despite receiving a failing grade, the kid learned a valuable lesson about honesty. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ward先生最不能容忍学生作弊，在整个学年的最后一天，只剩下数学考试，这是一年中最重要的考试，空气中弥漫着紧张的氛围，Ward先生分发试卷后告诫同学们不要作弊，一旦作弊就会被抓住并得0分。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“考试开始了，我们坐在那里忙着做试卷。”可知，第一段可描写作者写完试卷后发现有个学生在作弊。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后，Ward先生让他监视的那个孩子去他的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写那个学生承认作弊，Ward先生告诫他诚实是最重要的。 2.续写线索：写试卷——发现有个学生作弊——学生被叫到办公室——承认作弊——Ward先生教导学生要诚实 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①写下：write down /take down ②完成：finish/complete ③承认：confess/admit 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②害怕的：scared/frightened 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was unsure of what to do when I saw Mr. Ward looking at the kid with anger in his eyes.（由连接代词what引导的宾语从句和when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] In front of the stern Mr. Ward, the kid stood still and silent, his head hanging low and his body shaking uncontrollably.（独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
