B Thomas Coryat was not one of those famous explorers who found new trade routes or mapped unexplored territory. But in his time, he was an extremely well-known traveller and writer. His writings about his tours opened the eyes of many readers to the geography and customs of other countries: Born in England in 1577, Coryat was educated at Winchester College and Oxford. Not long after he finished his education, he was employed by Prince Henry as a royal (皇家的) entertainer. This is evidence of his intelligence and sense of humour, which later became more widely known in his travel writings. In 1608, Coryat started a long tour of Europe. The book he published in 1611 gave a lively picture of European life at the time. His book was extremely popular, partly because people were very curious about life in other countries. They also preferred reading about someone else’s exciting explorations, since travel was difficult and dangerous at the time. In 1612 Coryat started another tour. This time he eventually travelled to the eastern Mediterranean, Persia and India. He sent home detailed letters describing his experiences and observations. These were published while he was still abroad. If he had lived longer, he would certainly have published a book about this trip, but his life was cut short by illness in 1617. Not only were Coryat’s writings entertaining, but they also influenced society in unexpected ways. People say that he brought the table fork to the attention of English society, and that he introduced the word “umbrella” into the English language. At about this time, rich people began to send their sons to Europe to see great works of art and history. Today, historians call this kind of journey “the Grand Tour”, and they think that the educational tour tradition partly began because of Coryat’s books. 4. What is a notable feature of Coryat’s writing? A. A special focus on art. B. Its formal and serious language. C. Its humorous and lively content. D. A detailed description of trade routes. 5. Which contributed to the popularity of Coryat’s book published in 1611? A. His employment by Prince Henry. B. The difficulty and danger of travel. C. People’s wish to live in other countries. D. The lack of competition from other writers. 6. In what way was Coryat’s second great tour recorded? A. Through talking with other explorers. B. Through writing family letters. C. Through publishing a book. D. Through keeping a journal. 7. What does the underlined part “this kind of journey” refer to in the last paragraph? A. Tours to the eastern Mediterranean. B. Tours aimed at acquiring wealth. C. Tours focused on art and history. D. Tours made by rich people C In 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)announced it would let some hearing aids be sold over-the-counter for the first time, a move that will make the devices much more widely available and, in all likelihood, significantly cheaper. It’s a move that has been increasingly important, as hearing loss is expected to rise sharply in the coming ten years. The World Health Organization warns that by 2030, nearly 630 million people worldwide will suffer from hearing loss. By 2050, that could jump to 900 million. The act comes with some limitations. Devices for severe (重度的) hearing loss and those intended for use on children under the age of 18 will still require a prescription (处方). But for the millions who suffer from mild to moderate (轻度到中度的) hearing loss, picking up a hearing aid could be about as easy as picking up a pair of reading glasses at the drugstore. They won’t be quite that cheap, of course, but they will likely cost less than today’s hearing aids. The FDA estimated the price of those devices could be cut in half once the rule takes effect. “I seriously believe that we will see a significant reduction in prices for consumers with mild to moderate hearing loss,” said Blake Cadwell, founder and CEO of Soundly, a site that allows people to compare and buy hearing aids online. “Expect simple products like the Bose B1 hearing aid to go on sale for $899 and more expensive devices to sell for $1,500. In the long term, we may see even lower prices.” “Hearing loss is an important public health issue that affects the ability of millions of Americans to effectively communicate in their daily life,” said FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf, MD. “Establishing this new rule will allow people with mild to moderate hearing loss to have convenient access to safe, effective, and affordable hearing aids from their neighborhood store or online.” 8. How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2? A. By providing data. B. By giving examples. C. By stating arguments. D. By making comparisons. 9. What can be inferred about the new rule? A. It limits online sales of hearing aids. B. It requires no prescription for all types of devices. C. It primarily aims to discourage people from using hearing aids. D. It directly benefits people over 18 with mild to moderate hearing loss. 10. What is Blake Cadwell’s attitude toward the future price reduction of hearing aids? A. Reserved. B. Confident. C. Uncertain. D. Concerned. 11. Which can be the most suitable title for the text? A. Consumer Enthusiasm: The Rising Demand for Hearing Aids. B. Over- the- Counter Hearing Aids: Critics’ Warning of the Risks C. Accessibility Concerns: The True Cost of FDA’s Hearing Aid Changes D. Affordable Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids: FDA’s Game- Changing Move D 133 students between the ages of 14 — 18 took part in an experiment run by researchers from the University of Oxford. Unlike most countries worldwide, in the UK 16-year-old students can decide to stop their math education. This situation allowed the team to study whether this specific lack of math education in students coming from a similar environment could impact brain development. The study found that students who didn’t study math had a lower amount of an important chemical for brain plasticity (可塑性), gamma-aminobutyric acid (γ-氨基丁酸), in a key brain region that impacts memory, learning, reasoning, and more. Moreover, the amount of this brain chemical successfully predicted changes in math performance around 19months later. Notably, the researchers did not find differences in the brain chemical before the teens stopped studying math. Psychologist (心理学家) Raquel Bild-Libbin, explains that the chemical the study is analyzing will help teens in their future in ways we haven’t even fully understood yet. “The role of brain plasticity has made incredible achievements in the area of research. It is being applied in many areas of interest such as mindfulness, anxiety, anger control, and now in education. We never imagined the brain structures could be changed in anyway,” she says. In addition, the chemical will help teens “develop better interpersonal relationships (人际关系), learn to control emotions and to be able to achieve higher educational goals that lead to better job opportunities and increase socioeconomic levels.” The study’s analysis corroborates this, suggesting that math education is related to “educational progress, employment, mental and physical health, and financial success.” Karen Aronian, a college professor, says she can’t think of a single career that doesn’t use math and reasoning in some way. As she mentions, math is excellent for the brain, has real-world applications, and improves problem-solving skills. She also calls it a “super shame” when high schools start backing off the math requirements in later teenage years. 12. What enabled the researchers to conduct the study according to the text? A. The students’ decision to discontinue math education. B. The students’ desire to develop learning capabilities. C. The students’ different cultural backgrounds. D. The students’ slow brain development. 13. What is the finding of the study? A. Lack of math education may harm teen brain development. B. Memory and reasoning skills can predict math performance. C. Anxiety and anger have damaging effects on brain plasticity. D. The amount of gamma-aminobutyric acid in brain varies with age. 14 What does the underlined word “corroborates” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Doubts. B. Ignores. C. Supports. D. Confuses. 15. What does Karen Aronian think of high schools’ dropping math requirements? A. It is a way to relieve student anxiety. B. It makes no difference to financial success. C. It is beneficial for. students’ physical health. D. It creates a challenge to career development. 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。 On the whole, the fashion industry as we know it is an environmental nightmare (噩梦).

After all, it’s in two weeks!” I had gone bathing suit shopping with my best friend. We wound up buying bathing suits, and the topic of going on a diet came up. The only reason for going on one would be to lose a little bit of our “baby fat”. I thought all the guys would like me if I was pretty and thin. So I decided to stick to a diet, even though it would be hard because I am a chocoholic (巧克力狂). I had always been a big girl. Not necessarily fat, but tall with a strong build. I played many sports and reduced my dinner servings. I had a desire to eat ice cream, but whenever I looked at beauty magazines and my bathing suit, the desire disappeared quickly. My mom noticed when I dropped five pounds. She told me to stop because I could harm myself. I promised her I’d stop, but I couldn’t. I started getting praised by my schoolmates. I wore the same clothes which kept getting baggier and baggier. My gym teacher questioned me about my noticeable weight loss. I explained to her that it was the result of exercise alone. Since I lost weight by dropping lunch, I did the same with breakfast. I tricked (哄骗) my dad into thinking that I ate snacks, but whatever snacks I had, I fed them to the deer. When I looked at myself in the mirror every day, I saw excess fat (赘肉) that had to go. About a month and a half after I had bought the bathing suit, I tried it on again and it fell right off me. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Finally dark circles formed under my eyes, and I stopped physically developing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I started seeing the doctor and it took one year for my body to start working normally again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二上学期第二次月考英语试卷 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，选出最佳选项。 1.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了托马斯·科里亚特是一位非常有名的旅行家和作家，他的作品《欧洲游记》描述了17世纪欧洲生活的生动画面，至今仍影响着人们的旅行方式。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This is evidence of his intelligence and sense of humour, which later became more widely known in his travel writings.( 这是他的智慧和幽默感的证据，后来在他的旅行作品中广为人知。)”可知，科里亚特写作的一个显著特点是幽默和生动的文笔。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“His book was extremely popular, partly because people were very curious about life in other countries. They also preferred reading about someone else’s exciting explorations, since travel was difficult and dangerous at the time.( 他的书非常受欢迎，部分原因是人们对其他国家的生活非常好奇。他们也更喜欢阅读别人激动人心的探险故事，因为当时旅行既困难又危险。)”可知，是旅行的困难和危险的这种现实因素促成了科里亚特1611年出版的这本书的流行。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“He sent home detailed letters describing his experiences and observations. These were published while he was still abroad.( 他给家里寄去了详细的信，描述了他的经历和观察。这些书是他还在国外时出版的。)”可知，科里亚特的第二次伟大旅行是通过写信回家的方式记录下来的。故选B项。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“At about this time, rich people began to send their sons to Europe to see great works of art and history. (大约在这个时候，富人开始把他们的儿子送到欧洲去看伟大的艺术和历史作品。)”可知，一些富人把他们的儿子送到欧洲去看伟大的艺术和历史作品，由此可知，划线短语“this kind of journey”指的是以艺术和历史为重点的旅游。故选C项。 C In 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)announced it would let some hearing aids be sold over-the-counter for the first time, a move that will make the devices much more widely available and, in all likelihood, significantly cheaper. It’s a move that has been increasingly important, as hearing loss is expected to rise sharply in the coming ten years. The World Health Organization warns that by 2030, nearly 630 million people worldwide will suffer from hearing loss. By 2050, that could jump to 900 million. The act comes with some limitations. Devices for severe (重度的) hearing loss and those intended for use on children under the age of 18 will still require a prescription (处方). But for the millions who suffer from mild to moderate (轻度到中度的) hearing loss, picking up a hearing aid could be about as easy as picking up a pair of reading glasses at the drugstore. They won’t be quite that cheap, of course, but they will likely cost less than today’s hearing aids. The FDA estimated the price of those devices could be cut in half once the rule takes effect. “I seriously believe that we will see a significant reduction in prices for consumers with mild to moderate hearing loss,” said Blake Cadwell, founder and CEO of Soundly, a site that allows people to compare and buy hearing aids online. “Expect simple products like the Bose B1 hearing aid to go on sale for $899 and more expensive devices to sell for $1,500. In the long term, we may see even lower prices.” “Hearing loss is an important public health issue that affects the ability of millions of Americans to effectively communicate in their daily life,” said FDA Commissioner Robert M. Califf, MD. “Establishing this new rule will allow people with mild to moderate hearing loss to have convenient access to safe, effective, and affordable hearing aids from their neighborhood store or online.” 8. How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2? A. By providing data. B. By giving examples. C. By stating arguments. D. By making comparisons. 9. What can be inferred about the new rule? A. It limits online sales of hearing aids. B. It requires no prescription for all types of devices. C. It primarily aims to discourage people from using hearing aids. D. It directly benefits people over 18 with mild to moderate hearing loss. 10. What is Blake Cadwell’s attitude toward the future price reduction of hearing aids? A. Reserved. B. Confident. C. Uncertain. D. Concerned. 11. Which can be the most suitable title for the text? A. Consumer Enthusiasm: The Rising Demand for Hearing Aids. B. Over- the- Counter Hearing Aids: Critics’ Warning of the Risks C. Accessibility Concerns: The True Cost of FDA’s Hearing Aid Changes D. Affordable Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids: FDA’s Game- Changing Move 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）宣布，将首次允许一些助听器在非处方销售，此举将使助听器更广泛地获得，而且很可能大大便宜。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It’s a move that has been increasingly important, as hearing loss is expected to rise sharply in the coming ten years.(这一举措变得越来越重要，因为听力损失预计将在未来十年急剧上升。)”以及下文中的“The World Health Organization warns that by 2030, nearly 630 million people worldwide will suffer from hearing loss. By 2050, that could jump to 900 million.( 世界卫生组织警告说，到2030年，全球将有近6.3亿人患有听力损失。到2050年，这一数字可能跃升至9亿。)”可知，由于听力损失预计在未来十年将急剧上升，进而在下文中列举了相关的数据，由此可知，本段是通过列举数据来支持他的观点的。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Devices for severe (重度的) hearing loss and those intended for use on children under the age of 18 will still require a prescription (处方). But for the millions who suffer from mild to moderate (轻度到中度的) hearing loss, picking up a hearing aid could be about as easy as picking up a pair of reading glasses at the drugstore.(用于严重听力损失的设备和用于18岁以下儿童的设备仍然需要处方。但对于数百万患有轻度至中度听力损失的人来说，挑选助听器可能就像在药店买一副老花镜一样容易。)”可知，听力严重受损的以及18岁以下儿童使用该设备仍需处方，而轻度以及中度听力受损的人买助听器将会变得很容易，由此可知，这一新规直接使18岁以上轻度到中度听力损失的人受益。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的““I seriously believe that we will see a significant reduction in prices for consumers with mild to moderate hearing loss,” said Blake Cadwell, founder and CEO of Soundly, a site that allows people to compare and buy hearing aids online.(Soundly网站的创始人兼首席执行官Blake Cadwell说：“我真的相信，对于轻度到中度听力损失的消费者来说，我们将看到价格大幅下降。” Soundly网站允许人们在线比较和购买助听器。)”可知，Blake Cadwell相信对于轻度到中度听力损失的消费者来说，将看到价格大幅下降，由此可知，Blake Cadwell对未来助听器降价的态度是有信心的。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段“In 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)announced it would let some hearing aids be sold over-the-counter for the first time, a move that will make the devices much more widely available and, in all likelihood, significantly cheaper.( 2022年，美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）宣布，将首次允许一些助听器在非处方销售，此举将使助听器更广泛地获得，而且很可能大大便宜。)”以及下文中介绍的该新规的制定将给轻度和中度听力受损患者带来的便利可知，本文主要讲述的是关于助听器使用的新规将帮助更多听力受损患者可以买得起助听器，所以题目“可负担的非处方助听器：FDA改变游戏规则的举措”可以概括全文的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 D 133 students between the ages of 14 — 18 took part in an experiment run by researchers from the University of Oxford. Unlike most countries worldwide, in the UK 16-year-old students can decide to stop their math education. This situation allowed the team to study whether this specific lack of math education in students coming from a similar environment could impact brain development. The study found that students who didn’t study math had a lower amount of an important chemical for brain plasticity (可塑性), gamma-aminobutyric acid (γ-氨基丁酸), in a key brain region that impacts memory, learning, reasoning, and more. Moreover, the amount of this brain chemical successfully predicted changes in math performance around 19months later. Notably, the researchers did not find differences in the brain chemical before the teens stopped studying math. Psychologist (心理学家) Raquel Bild-Libbin, explains that the chemical the study is analyzing will help teens in their future in ways we haven’t even fully understood yet. “The role of brain plasticity has made incredible achievements in the area of research. It is being applied in many areas of interest such as mindfulness, anxiety, anger control, and now in education. We never imagined the brain structures could be changed in anyway,” she says. In addition, the chemical will help teens “develop better interpersonal relationships (人际关系), learn to control emotions and to be able to achieve higher educational goals that lead to better job opportunities and increase socioeconomic levels.” The study’s analysis corroborates this, suggesting that math education is related to “educational progress, employment, mental and physical health, and financial success.” Karen Aronian, a college professor, says she can’t think of a single career that doesn’t use math and reasoning in some way. As she mentions, math is excellent for the brain, has real-world applications, and improves problem-solving skills. She also calls it a “super shame” when high schools start backing off the math requirements in later teenage years. 12. What enabled the researchers to conduct the study according to the text? A. The students’ decision to discontinue math education. B. The students’ desire to develop learning capabilities. C. The students’ different cultural backgrounds. D. The students’ slow brain development. 13. What is the finding of the study? A. Lack of math education may harm teen brain development. B. Memory and reasoning skills can predict math performance. C. Anxiety and anger have damaging effects on brain plasticity. D. The amount of gamma-aminobutyric acid in brain varies with age. 14. What does the underlined word “corroborates” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Doubts. B. Ignores. C. Supports. D. Confuses. 15. What does Karen Aronian think of high schools’ dropping math requirements? A. It is a way to relieve student anxiety. B. It makes no difference to financial success. C. It is beneficial for. students’ physical health. D. It creates a challenge to career development. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项研究发现学生缺乏数学教育可能会影响大脑发育。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段中的“This situation allowed the team to study whether this specific lack of math education in students coming from a similar environment could impact brain development.(这种情况使研究小组能够研究来自类似环境的学生缺乏数学教育是否会影响大脑发育。)”以及上文的“133 students between the ages of 14-18 took part in an experiment run by researchers from the University of Oxford. Unlike most countries worldwide, in the UK 16-year-old students can decide to stop their math education.(133名年龄在14-18岁之间的学生参加了牛津大学研究人员开展的一项实验。与世界上大多数国家不同，在英国，16岁的学生可以决定停止数学教育。)”可知，一项实验中发现，在英国16岁的学生可以决定停止数学教育，这使得研究小组能够研究来自类似环境的学生缺乏数学教育是否会影响大脑发育。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The study found that students who didn’t study math had a lower amount of an important chemical for brain plasticity (可塑性), gamma-aminobutyric acid (γ-氨基丁酸), in a key brain region that impacts memory, learning, reasoning, and more.(研究发现，不学习数学的学生在大脑中影响记忆、学习、推理等的关键区域中，具有较低数量的影响大脑可塑性的重要化学物质，γ-氨基丁酸。)”可知，研究发现，影响大脑可塑性的重要化学物质，γ-氨基丁酸在不学数学的学生的大脑关键区域中数量较低，结合下文中的“Notably, the researchers did not find differences in the brain chemical before the teens stopped studying math.(值得注意的是，在青少年停止学习数学之前，研究人员没有发现大脑化学物质的差异。)”可知，在停止学数学之前，没有发现大脑化学物质的差异，由此可知，研究发现的是缺乏数学教育可能会损害青少年的大脑发育。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的“In addition, the chemical will help teens “develop better interpersonal relationships (人际关系), learn to control emotions and to be able to achieve higher educational goals that lead to better job opportunities and increase socioeconomic levels.”(此外，这种化学物质将帮助青少年“发展更好的人际关系，学会控制情绪，能够实现更高的教育目标，从而获得更好的工作机会，提高社会经济水平。”)”可知，这种化学物质对青少年发展人际关系，控制情绪，实现更高的教育目标等方面都有很大的好处，结合划线单词后的“suggesting that math education is related to “educational progress, employment, mental and physical health, and financial success.”(表明数学教育与“教育进步、就业、身心健康和经济成功”有关。)”可知，数学教育与“教育进步、就业、身心健康和经济成功”等相关，所以该研究分析应该是“支持”上文的说法，由此可知，划线单词的意思应与“支持”意义相近。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Karen Aronian, a college professor, says she can’t think of a single career that doesn’t use math and reasoning in some way.(大学教授Karen Aronian说，她想不出哪一份职业在某种程度上不需要用到数学和推理。)”可知，在Karen Aronian看来，几乎每一份职业在某种程度上都要用到数学和推理，结合下文中的“She also calls it a “super shame” when high schools start backing off the math requirements in later teenage years.(她还称高中在青少年后期开始降低数学要求是一种“超级耻辱”。)”可知，他认为高中降低数学要求是一种“超级耻辱”，由此可推断，Karen Aronian认为在高中降低数学要求可能对职业发展构成挑战。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。 On the whole, the fashion industry as we know it is an environmental nightmare (噩梦).

After all, it’s in two weeks!” I had gone bathing suit shopping with my best friend. We wound up buying bathing suits, and the topic of going on a diet came up. The only reason for going on one would be to lose a little bit of our “baby fat”. I thought all the guys would like me if I was pretty and thin. So I decided to stick to a diet, even though it would be hard because I am a chocoholic (巧克力狂). I had always been a big girl. Not necessarily fat, but tall with a strong build. I played many sports and reduced my dinner servings. I had a desire to eat ice cream, but whenever I looked at beauty magazines and my bathing suit, the desire disappeared quickly. My mom noticed when I dropped five pounds. She told me to stop because I could harm myself. I promised her I’d stop, but I couldn’t. I started getting praised by my schoolmates. I wore the same clothes which kept getting baggier and baggier. My gym teacher questioned me about my noticeable weight loss. I explained to her that it was the result of exercise alone. Since I lost weight by dropping lunch, I did the same with breakfast. I tricked (哄骗) my dad into thinking that I ate snacks, but whatever snacks I had, I fed them to the deer. When I looked at myself in the mirror every day, I saw excess fat (赘肉) that had to go. About a month and a half after I had bought the bathing suit, I tried it on again and it fell right off me. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Finally, dark circles formed under my eyes, and I stopped physically developing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I started seeing the doctor and it took one year for my body to start working normally again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Finally, dark circles formed under my eyes, and I stopped physically developing. I felt tired all the time, and even everyday activities became difficult. My worried parents talked to me about how unhealthy I was becoming. That’s when I realized how serious my situation was. I had let the desire for a thinner body overshadow my well-being, and now I was paying the price. Regret and fear gripped my heart as I faced the consequences of my choices. I started seeing the doctor and it took one year for my body to start working normally again. The road to recovery was long and arduous. My doctors and nutritionists worked tirelessly to help me regain my strength and health. Slowly but surely, the color returned to my cheeks, and the dark circles faded. I learned the hard way that true beauty comes from within, and that health should never be compromised for the sake of appearance. Now, I cherish my body and focus on maintaining a balanced lifestyle, grateful for the lesson that almost cost me everything. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了主人公在朋友的影响下开始追求瘦身，通过节食等极端方式迅速减重，但最终导致身体健康出现问题，出现黑眼圈并停止发育。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“最后，我的黑眼圈形成了，我的身体也停止了发育。”可知，第一段可以描写作者因为过度节食而导致的身体健康问题，以及作者开始意识到问题的严重性。 ②由第二段首句“我开始看医生，我的身体花了一年的时间才开始恢复正常。”可知，第二段可以描写作者如何恢复健康，以及从这次经历中学到的教训。 2.续写线索：出现黑眼圈，停止发育——感到疲惫，日常活动困难——父母担忧，谈论我的健康问题——意识到问题严重，开始看医生——医生与营养师帮助我——我逐渐康复，得到教训 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①意识到：realize/become aware of/dawn on ②开始：start/begin ③珍惜：cherish/treasure/value 情绪类： ①担忧的：worried/concerned/anxious ②后悔：regret/remorse/sorrow ③感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] That’s when I realized how serious my situation was.
