B Last year, as my then-9-year-old son, Leopold, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip to Keystone, Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything. Leopold is a picky eater and can be hesitant to try new things. According to him, it’s because he has fears, including heights, spiders and the dark. I was hoping to find a solution. So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, after watching the movie of the same name. Before the trip, Leopold and I agreed we would say yes to everything, especially new ones. Settled at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor. Though he had basic lessons in Connecticut, this was his first time on a larger mountain. While he learned, I skied by myself, choosing an easy green run on day one. Inspired by Leopold’s bravery on the chairlift, I challenged myself to ski a more demanding blue run the next day. It was steep (陡峭的), but with careful turns, I made it down in one piece, feeling proud of conquering a new challenge. Later that afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub. Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to object, Leopold reminded me of the rule. Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together. Developing a sense of adventure helps us live life to the fullest — even if you sometimes wind up cold and wet. 4. Why did the writer start a “Yes Day” rule? A. To conquer Leopold’s ski fears. B. To master new snowboarding tricks. C. To win in snowboarding competitions. D. To encourage Leopold to try new things. 5. Which of the following best describes the writer? A. Adventurous. B. Confident. C. Optimistic. D. Considerate. 6. What can we learn about the writer from paragraph 4&5? A. She was eager to go in the outdoor hot tub. B. She regretted breaking the rule with Leopold. C. She found it rewarding to brave the experience. D. She felt much better when she got out of the tub. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Braving Winter: Family Unity B. Embracing Yes: A Family Adventure C. Family Ski Trip: Mountain Memories D. Ski Challenges: Winter Wonders C Switching food and drink purchases to very similar but more environmentally friendly alternatives could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from household groceries by more than a quarter (26%), according to a new Australian study from The George Institute published in Nature Food. Making bigger changes— like swapping a frozen meat lasagne (宽面条) for the vegetarian option— could push the reduction to as much as 71%. Lead author Dr Allison Gaines said, “Dietary habits need to change significantly if we are to meet global emissions targets, particularly in high- income countries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the food system, they lack reliable information to identify the more environmentally friendly options. Researchers calculated the projected emissions of annual grocery purchases from 7,000 Australian households in The George Institute’s FoodSwitch database and global environmental impact datasets. More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minor and sub- categories of foods(e. g. ‘bread and bakery’, ‘bread’ and ‘white bread’, respectively) to quantify emissions saved by switching both within and between groups. Making switches within the same sub- categories of foods could lead to emission reductions of 26% in Australia, equivalent to taking over 1.9 million cars off the road. Switches within minor categories of foods could lead to even bigger emission reductions of 71%. The results of the study show the potential to significantly reduce our environmental impact by switching like- for- like products. “It showed that you can switch to lower emissions products while still enjoying nutritious foods,” Dr Gaines added. A free app, called ecoSwitch, has been developed currently available in Australia, based on this research. Shoppers can use their device to scan a product barcode and check its ‘Planetary Health Rating’, a measure of its emissions shown as a score between half a star(high emissions) to five stars (low emissions). “While ecoSwitch is a much- needed first step in providing environmental transparency (透明度) for grocery shoppers, the vision is for compulsive display of a single, standardised sustainability rating system on all supermarket products,” concluded prof Neal, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Imperial College London. 8. What does the author want to show by listing numbers in paragraph 1? A. The impact of food industry. B. The need of changing daily diet. C. The status of environmental problems. D. The influencing factors of gas emissions. 9. Why do researchers make a detailed classification for products? A. To set up a comprehensive database. B. To figure out the detailed food categories. C. To identify emissions reduced by switching food. D. To ensure less air pollution caused by food options. 10. What do we know about ecoSwitch? A. It is popular in high- income countries. B. It checks the emissions of star products. C. It is a measurement system for a supermarket. D. It ensures wiser choices for food purchase. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. EcoSwitch makes customers aware of food risk. B. Food swaps contribute to environmental sustainability. C. Environmental problems account for less food nutrition. D. Greenhouse gas emissions have an effect on food safety. D The state of Maine is famous for its delicious wild blueberries. The blueberries grow well on barren mountaintops, in abandoned fields, along rural roadsides or where most other plants don’t. They are also decidedly native as they have been growing in this landscape for more than10,000 years. At David Dickey’s small farm, farmers harvest blueberries, packing a burst of sweetness into tiny purple package. They’re also harvesting sunshine. A grid (格子) of solar panels stands a few feet above four hectares (10 acres) of the land. The electricity these generate powers a few hundred nearby homes. Under and around these panels are extending fields of the low, thick blueberry bushes. Solar panels generate electric power without sending out the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that fossil fuels release as they’re burned. Fixing solar panels on farms helps solve another major problem: finding the space to collect enough sunlight to produce enough supply of electricity. This concept is called “Agrivoltaics”. The word combines “agriculture” with “photovoltaics (光伏)”. Photovoltaic materials — such as solar panels — generate electric current from sunlight. Growing crops requires hard work — often generating only a low income. A grivoltaic projects can benefit farmers by giving them a second crop: electric power. Also, farmers can pick up some extra cash by renting their land to power companies that will fix their own solar panel son the site. At the University of Maine in Orono, Dr. Calderwood focuses on finding ways to grow better berries. Her work includes studying how the bushes can be planted to produce delicious berries despite the shade cast by the solar panels at Dickey’s farm. “Although the idea behind A grivoltaics has been around for decades, it’s really just exploded over the last few years. Around the world, farmers and solar companies are working together to combine farming with the production of electricity,” Calderwood says. 12. How is the second paragraph developed? A. By giving descriptions. B. By making predictions. C. By making comparisons. D. By offering suggestions. 13. How do the solar panels make a difference in generating electricity? A. They take up less space. B. They produce no pollution. C. They block out direct sunlight. D. They avoid the waste of electricity. 14. What is the main advantage of Agrivoltaic projects? A. Increased agricultural productivity. B. Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. C. Additional source of income for farmers. D. Promotion of sustainable farming practices. 15. What can we learn about Agrivoltaic projects? A. They are a creative idea. B. They are in a growing trend. C. They are only useful to farmers. D. They are a traditional farming. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Overcoming Procrastination: Strategies for Taking Action Procrastination (拖延症) is like a thief, stealing time and opportunities from us. ____16____, often accompanied by the pain of last-minute stress.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me,” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, the smell so attractive. As she was eating, Lucy cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Lucy as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Lucy sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home, Lucy made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 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: Approaching the doorway, Lucy was very nervous and took a deep breath. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 太行中学2024—2025学年第一学期第一次月考 高二英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，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。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分　听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节　(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Leopold is a picky eater and can be hesitant to try new things. According to him, it’s because he has fears, including heights, spiders and the dark. I was hoping to find a solution. So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, after watching the movie of the same name. Before the trip, Leopold and I agreed we would say yes to everything, especially new ones. Settled at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor. Though he had basic lessons in Connecticut, this was his first time on a larger mountain. While he learned, I skied by myself, choosing an easy green run on day one. Inspired by Leopold’s bravery on the chairlift, I challenged myself to ski a more demanding blue run the next day. It was steep (陡峭的), but with careful turns, I made it down in one piece, feeling proud of conquering a new challenge. Later that afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub. Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to object, Leopold reminded me of the rule. Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together. Developing a sense of adventure helps us live life to the fullest — even if you sometimes wind up cold and wet. 4. Why did the writer start a “Yes Day” rule? A. To conquer Leopold’s ski fears. B. To master new snowboarding tricks. C. To win in snowboarding competitions. D. To encourage Leopold to try new things. 5. Which of the following best describes the writer? A. Adventurous. B. Confident. C. Optimistic. D. Considerate. 6. What can we learn about the writer from paragraph 4&5? A. She was eager to go in the outdoor hot tub. B. She regretted breaking the rule with Leopold. C. She found it rewarding to brave the experience. D. She felt much better when she got out of the tub. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Braving Winter: Family Unity B. Embracing Yes: A Family Adventure C. Family Ski Trip: Mountain Memories D. Ski Challenges: Winter Wonders 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为记叙文。文章主要讲述一位母亲与9岁儿子在滑雪旅行中采取“Yes Day”规则，鼓励儿子尝试新事物，最终获得了令人满意的家庭冒险体验。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I was hoping to find a solution. So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, after watching the movie of the same name. Before the trip, Leopold and I agreed we would say yes to everything, especially new ones.(我希望能找到解决办法。所以在看完同名电影后，我借用了“Yes Day”的想法。出发前，利奥波德和我一致同意接受一切，尤其是新事物)”可知，作者设立“Yes Day”规则是为了鼓励利奥波德尝试新事物。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Inspired by Leopold’s bravery on the chairlift, I challenged myself to ski a more demanding blue run the next day. It was steep (陡峭的), but with careful turns, I made it down in one piece, feeling proud of conquering a new challenge.(受到利奥波德在缆车上的勇敢的鼓舞，我挑战自己，在第二天滑了一条要求更高的蓝道。这条路很陡，但我小心翼翼地转弯，安然无恙地滑了下来，为征服了一个新的挑战而感到自豪)”可知，作者喜爱冒险。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Later that afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub. Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to object, Leopold reminded me of the rule.(那天下午晚些时候，当利奥波德和我团聚时，他问我们是否可以去户外的热水浴缸。提醒你一下，那是一个20华氏度的天气，我唯一讨厌的事情比寒冷更讨厌的是又冷又湿！当我开始反对时，利奥波德提醒了我这条规则)”以及第五段“Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together.(是的，天气很冷，是的，我浑身湿透了。但感受凉风吹在皮肤上的感觉也很清爽，而且我们一进去，热水浴缸里的温水感觉就好多了。离开这里是另一回事，但我和利奥波德一起勇敢地走出来，这段经历令人愉快)”可知，虽然作者最初反对去室外温泉浴池，因为她讨厌寒冷和潮湿，但最终她发现这个体验令人清新，一旦进入温泉，温暖的水感觉也很好。这表明作者最终觉得这个经历是值得的，尽管她最初有所犹豫。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Last year, as my then-9-year-old son, Leopold, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip to Keystone, Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything.(去年，当我和当时9岁的儿子利奥波德准备去科罗拉多州基斯顿的母子滑雪之旅时，我想出了一个规则：我们对所有事情都说“是”)”结合文章主要讲述一位母亲与9岁儿子在滑雪旅行中采取“Yes Day”规则，鼓励儿子尝试新事物，最终获得了令人满意的家庭冒险体验。可知，B选项“拥抱‘是’：一次家庭冒险”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C Switching food and drink purchases to very similar but more environmentally friendly alternatives could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from household groceries by more than a quarter (26%), according to a new Australian study from The George Institute published in Nature Food. Making bigger changes— like swapping a frozen meat lasagne (宽面条) for the vegetarian option— could push the reduction to as much as 71%. Lead author Dr Allison Gaines said, “Dietary habits need to change significantly if we are to meet global emissions targets, particularly in high- income countries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the food system, they lack reliable information to identify the more environmentally friendly options. Researchers calculated the projected emissions of annual grocery purchases from 7,000 Australian households in The George Institute’s FoodSwitch database and global environmental impact datasets. More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minor and sub- categories of foods(e. g. ‘bread and bakery’, ‘bread’ and ‘white bread’, respectively) to quantify emissions saved by switching both within and between groups. Making switches within the same sub- categories of foods could lead to emission reductions of 26% in Australia, equivalent to taking over 1.9 million cars off the road. Switches within minor categories of foods could lead to even bigger emission reductions of 71%. The results of the study show the potential to significantly reduce our environmental impact by switching like- for- like products. “It showed that you can switch to lower emissions products while still enjoying nutritious foods,” Dr Gaines added. A free app, called ecoSwitch, has been developed currently available in Australia, based on this research. Shoppers can use their device to scan a product barcode and check its ‘Planetary Health Rating’, a measure of its emissions shown as a score between half a star(high emissions) to five stars (low emissions). “While ecoSwitch is a much- needed first step in providing environmental transparency (透明度) for grocery shoppers, the vision is for compulsive display of a single, standardised sustainability rating system on all supermarket products,” concluded prof Neal, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Imperial College London. 8. What does the author want to show by listing numbers in paragraph 1? A. The impact of food industry. B. The need of changing daily diet. C. The status of environmental problems. D. The influencing factors of gas emissions. 9. Why do researchers make a detailed classification for products? A. To set up a comprehensive database. B. To figure out the detailed food categories. C. To identify emissions reduced by switching food. D. To ensure less air pollution caused by food options. 10 What do we know about ecoSwitch? A. It is popular in high- income countries. B. It checks the emissions of star products. C. It is a measurement system for a supermarket. D. It ensures wiser choices for food purchase. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. EcoSwitch makes customers aware of food risk. B. Food swaps contribute to environmental sustainability. C. Environmental problems account for less food nutrition. D. Greenhouse gas emissions have an effect on food safety. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11.

The blueberries grow well on barren mountaintops, in abandoned fields, along rural roadsides or where most other plants don’t. They are also decidedly native as they have been growing in this landscape for more than10,000 years. At David Dickey’s small farm, farmers harvest blueberries, packing a burst of sweetness into tiny purple package. They’re also harvesting sunshine. A grid (格子) of solar panels stands a few feet above four hectares (10 acres) of the land. The electricity these generate powers a few hundred nearby homes. Under and around these panels are extending fields of the low, thick blueberry bushes. Solar panels generate electric power without sending out the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that fossil fuels release as they’re burned. Fixing solar panels on farms helps solve another major problem: finding the space to collect enough sunlight to produce enough supply of electricity. This concept is called “Agrivoltaics”. The word combines “agriculture” with “photovoltaics (光伏)”. Photovoltaic materials — such as solar panels — generate electric current from sunlight. Growing crops requires hard work — often generating only a low income. A grivoltaic projects can benefit farmers by giving them a second crop: electric power. Also, farmers can pick up some extra cash by renting their land to power companies that will fix their own solar panel son the site. At the University of Maine in Orono, Dr. Calderwood focuses on finding ways to grow better berries. Her work includes studying how the bushes can be planted to produce delicious berries despite the shade cast by the solar panels at Dickey’s farm. “Although the idea behind A grivoltaics has been around for decades, it’s really just exploded over the last few years. Around the world, farmers and solar companies are working together to combine farming with the production of electricity,” Calderwood says. 12. How is the second paragraph developed? A. By giving descriptions. B. By making predictions. C. By making comparisons. D. By offering suggestions. 13. How do the solar panels make a difference in generating electricity? A. They take up less space. B. They produce no pollution. C. They block out direct sunlight. D. They avoid the waste of electricity. 14. What is the main advantage of Agrivoltaic projects? A. Increased agricultural productivity. B. Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. C. Additional source of income for farmers. D. Promotion of sustainable farming practices. 15. What can we learn about Agrivoltaic projects? A. They are a creative idea. B. They are in a growing trend. C. They are only useful to farmers. D. They are a traditional farming. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以美国缅因州的蓝莓种植业为例，介绍了“农业光伏”这一概念。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“At David Dickey’s small farm, farmers harvest blueberries, packing a burst of sweetness into tiny purple package.

Cut them into more effortless bits C. Once you’ve identified the root cause D. It’s the art of postponing tasks to later E. A clean and organized space aids focused work F. General goals are an invitation to procrastinate G. Specific goals enhance focus and boost achievement 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几条关于如何克服拖延症的建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Procrastination (拖延症) is like a thief, stealing time and opportunities from us.(拖延症就像一个小偷，从我们身边偷走时间和机会)”可知，本句紧接着介绍拖延症的比喻，说明拖延症本质是推迟任务的行为。故D选项“这是把任务推迟到以后的艺术”符合语境，故选D。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The first step in overcoming procrastination is understanding why you do it. Is it fear of failure, perfectionism, or simply a lack of interest in the task?(克服拖延症的第一步是理解你为什么这样做。是害怕失败、追求完美，还是只是对任务缺乏兴趣？)”以及后文“you can address it directly(你可以直接解决它)”可知，本句指出一旦识别出拖延的根源，就可以直接解决它。故C选项“一旦你确定了根本原因”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Large tasks can seem challenging, leading us to procrastinate.(大任务看起来具有挑战性，导致我们拖延)”以及后文“This not only makes the task seem less demanding but also provides a series of quick wins that raise motivation. By celebrating these mini-victories, you can transform a huge task into a series of manageable challenges.(这不仅使任务看起来不那么苛刻，而且还提供了一系列快速的胜利，提高了动力。通过庆祝这些小小的胜利，你可以把一个巨大的任务变成一系列可管理的挑战)”可知，后文提到了小小的胜利，推测是建议将大任务分解为容易处理的小部分。B选项与标题“Break Tasks into Smaller Parts(把任务分成更小的部分)”相呼应，effortless bits与smaller parts含义相近，故B选项“把它们分解成更容易的小块”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Instead, set specific, achievable goals with clear deadlines. For instance, instead of saying “I need to start a project,” say “I will complete the project outline by Friday.” Having a clear deadline can create a sense of urgency that drives you into action.(相反，你应该设定具体的、可实现的目标，并设定明确的截止日期。例如，与其说“我需要开始一个项目”，不如说“我将在周五之前完成项目大纲。”有一个明确的截止日期可以创造一种紧迫感，促使你采取行动)”可知，后文与本句构成转折，后文建议设定具体的、可实现的目标，可知本句是在说明模糊的目标会导致拖延。故F选项“笼统的目标是拖延的诱因”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Your environment can significantly influence your productivity. Remove distractions by creating a supportive workspace. This could mean tidying up your desk, turning off notifications, or using noise-cancelling headphones.(你的环境会极大地影响你的工作效率。通过创造一个支持性的工作空间来消除干扰。这可能意味着整理你的办公桌，关闭通知，或者使用降噪耳机)”可知，本段主要强调了整洁有序的环境有助于集中注意力进行工作。故E选项“清洁和有组织的空间有助于重点工作”符合语境，故选E。 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。 Tired and sleepy, we got off the night train, stepping foot on new territory: Berlin.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me,” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, the smell so attractive. As she was eating, Lucy cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Lucy as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Lucy sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home, Lucy made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 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: Approaching the doorway, Lucy was very nervous and took a deep breath. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Approaching the doorway, Lucy was very nervous and took a deep breath. Standing in front of the door, she was afraid whether her mother would forgive her for her rudeness. But when she thought of her mother’s familiar face and the noodle seller’s kind advice, she decided to knock on the door bravely. Her mother opened the door but Lucy was so ashamed that she didn’t know what to say. A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. Lucy couldn’t help crying and said “Sorry, mom, I know I have made a big mistake. I shouldn’t have quarreled with you. I shouldn’t have run away from home. Could you forgive me?” Lucy’s mother was moved, saying “Good girl, never mind, I also should make an apology to you for scolding at you angrily. I am very worried about you. ” Tears rolled down from both of their faces and they hugged each other tightly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小女孩Lucy和母亲争吵后离家出走，走在街上，觉得饿了，一个卖面条的摊位前停下，摊主人知道情况后，免费请她吃了一碗面并听她倾诉，她很感恩，摊主却告诉她：“我请你吃一碗面，你就感激我，你想想你的妈妈养大你，给你做了多少顿饭呢？”Lucy顿悟，决定回家和妈妈好好沟通。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“走到门口时，露茜非常紧张，深吸了一口气。”可知，第一段可描写Lucy在走到家门口进门前的心理活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“她的头发被轻轻地碰了一下，她的思绪又回来了。” 可知，第二段可描写Lucy和妈妈的谈话。 2. 续写线索：站在家门口—敲门—妈妈开门—承认错误—妈妈担心—拥抱 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①原谅：forgive/ pardon ②想起：think of/ remember ③向……道歉：make an apology to/ say sorry to 情绪类 ①担心的：afraid /concerned ②羞愧的：ashamed/ abashed 【点睛】【高分句型1】Standing in front of the door, she was afraid whether her mother would forgive her for her rudeness.
