My first thought when I opened the tissue paper and saw the blouse was that it was another candidate to hang in the back of my closet. I felt like the most important person didn’t care enough about me to think about my likes and dislikes. “What do you think, Mom?” Jason asked, hardly waiting for me to pull the blouse out of the box. “I thought it would look so nice on you.” He smiled at me with anticipation. At that moment, I realized Jason saw me as someone who would be open to receiving and wearing something more elegant than my usual clothes. He wanted to give me something special. It was a flash of sudden recognition. Then everything changed. “It’s beautiful,” I was able to say genuinely as I hugged him. “Try it on. I want to see how it looks,” Jason added. “I know just the skirt to try it with,” I said as I headed towards my closet. When I returned with the outfit on, Jason was waiting. “It looks just like I thought it would. It’s pretty on you, Mom,” Jason said. I tried to stop the tears that were welling in the corner of my eyes. “Thank you, honey. It is a beautiful blouse. I can tell you put a lot of thought into picking it out.” Jason probably wondered why I was so emotional over the gift. It made me think back on the gifts I’d ignored. Maybe the people who gave me the gifts saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. That opened me up to change and growth. In the years since, I received my son’s present. I have rarely felt disappointed when a gift doesn’t match my interests or desires. I’ve started appreciating the thoughts and efforts behind every gift and accepted it with gratitude. This change has made holidays more joyful and deepened my appreciation for family and friends. There is surely something special about receiving a gift that is perfectly suited for you. But I have found that it is just as special to receive all gifts with an open mind and a grateful heart. 4. How did the author feel in the beginning when receiving the present from her son? A. Curious. B. Relieved. C. Guilty. D. Dissatisfied. 5 What mainly changed the author’s attitude toward Jason’s gift? A. The understanding of Jason’s thoughts. B. The recognition of her own potential. C. The skirt that matches the blouse. D. The praise from Jason. 6. After reflecting on past gifts, the author became _________. A. careful about choosing gifts B. indifferent to receiving gifts C. joyful about choosing gifts D grateful for receiving gifts 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. What suits you is best for you. B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. C. An open mind is the source of progress. D. Unspoken gratitude is often the most heartfelt. C Black students reported facing barriers that prevent them from completing their undergraduate studies in six years or less, regardless of the type of certificate or degree program, according to research published Thursday by Gallup and the Lumina Foundation. The most significant factors contributing to the lower rates among Black students, the study found, were experiencing acts of discrimination and managing multiple priorities that can interfere with completing coursework. The report compiled data in fall 2022 from 6, 008 college students across different certification and degree programs, including 1, 106 Black students. 21% of Black respondents said they felt discriminated against frequently or occasionally compared to 15% of other students. Black students were also more likely to have shared that they felt disrespected or psychologically unsafe at an institution while learning. 28% of Black students who attended an institution with little diversity felt physically unsafe, while 26% felt disrespected and 27% felt psychologically unsafe. Managing multiple priorities was another factor interfering with Black students’ education goals. The report found that 22% of Black students overall have caregiving responsibilities, compared to 11% of students in other racial groups, and 20% of Black students overall have full-time jobs, compared to 11% of other racial groups. Aside from discrimination and the task of managing responsibilities, the data also acknowledged other barriers making it difficult for Black students to complete their education, including the high costs of attending school. An April 2022 report by The Education Trust found that because Black women fall within two marginalized groups, they make less money and often have to takeout more loans to cover the cost of attending college. 8. Which factor can’t lead to the lower rate of completing education among black students directly? A. Management of multiple priorities. B. Experiences of discrimination. C. The types of certificate or degree programs. D. High costs of attending school. 9. How did the researcher draw the conclusion? A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making some comparisons. C. By explaining causes and effects. D. By analyzing respondents’ psychology. 10. What can we infer from the passage? A. About 21% of Black students feel discriminated against frequently. B. Black students feel discriminated mainly due to physical in security. C. Black students have to take full-time jobs for lack of access to loans. D. The black female students may be in the most disadvantaged position. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the phenomenon referred to in the passage? A. Objective. B. Favorable. C. Critical. D. Concerned. D I have taught medical students for 40 years in many contexts — on hospital rounds, during patient appointments, running small group discussions, and teaching large classes. I have lectured on topics that range from biochemical pathways to lifestyle diseases to nutrition science and the biology of aging. The most pleasing part of teaching is passing along the less visible aspects of being a physician — how to show respect for patients and be a true caregiver. I do this by telling stories about my clinical experience during lectures and the pay-off for me is engagement with students. The pandemic and its consequent shift in how students learn has changed all of that. In my 40 years of teaching, I’ve never seen such a dramatic change. The pandemic forced first- and second-year medical students into virtual classes, causing in-person attendance to dive. As I watched this shift to remote learning, I worried about its impact on future doctors. The engagement I once saw in the classroom is now hidden behind screens, and I find myself wondering if my stories and lessons are having the same impact. The shift to virtual learning also worries me about the future of medical education. The personal nature of medicine, often seen in clinical skills training and up-close body studies, is hard to obtain virtually. I’m also concerned about other crucial aspects of early medical school education that I’ve seen benefit students over the years — things like research opportunities, specialty exploration and volunteer work. These activities are much harder to do remotely. These experiences are vital for developing well-rounded, skilled doctors who can provide thorough treatment. Finally, there is a very real threat to medical education in changing the role of the physician professors. Doctors are unusual among professions in the expectation that they will teach medical students regardless of where and what specific field of medicine they practice. Remove professors’ satisfaction that comes with face-to-face teaching and we risk losing their commitment, much of which is often done on an entirely voluntary basis. 12. What did the author enjoy most in the past 40 years? A. Telling attractive stories. B. Lecturing on many topics. C. Sharing his values and attitude. D. Being experienced and respected. 13. What is important for the future of medical education? A. Appealing nature of medicine. B. Well-rounded clinical trainings. C. Hands-on non-virtual experiences. D. Students’ special personal talents. 14. According to paragraph 5, what worries the author? A. Medical professors might be expected to teach wherever they are. B. Medical professors might not fully devote themselves to teaching. C. Medical professors might lose most of the students’ satisfaction. D. Medical professors might change their role to be student-centered. 15. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The issues with reduced face-to-face lecture attendance. B. The debates over necessity of virtual medical education. C. The problems of medical students, low employment rate. D. The concerns about the shift to virtual medical education. 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。 The World Book Day, also called World Book and Copyright Day, falls on April 23rd. ____16____ Reading extensively exposes you to new ideas and knowledge, improves your concentration and memory, and enhances your creativity and critical thinking sills.

He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 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。 At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 BABAC 6-10 ABCAC 11-15 ABBCA 16-20 AACBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 丁沟中学高三年级期中统考热身 英语试题 2024.10 第一部分 听力 (共两节，20小题，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 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.

My first thought when I opened the tissue paper and saw the blouse was that it was another candidate to hang in the back of my closet. I felt like the most important person didn’t care enough about me to think about my likes and dislikes. “What do you think, Mom?” Jason asked, hardly waiting for me to pull the blouse out of the box. “I thought it would look so nice on you.” He smiled at me with anticipation. At that moment, I realized Jason saw me as someone who would be open to receiving and wearing something more elegant than my usual clothes. He wanted to give me something special. It was a flash of sudden recognition. Then everything changed. “It’s beautiful,” I was able to say genuinely as I hugged him. “Try it on. I want to see how it looks,” Jason added. “I know just the skirt to try it with” I said as I headed towards my closet. When I returned with the outfit on, Jason was waiting. “It looks just like I thought it would. It’s pretty on you, Mom,” Jason said. I tried to stop the tears that were welling in the corner of my eyes. “Thank you, honey. It is a beautiful blouse. I can tell you put a lot of thought into picking it out.” Jason probably wondered why I was so emotional over the gift. It made me think back on the gifts I’d ignored. Maybe the people who gave me the gifts saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. That opened me up to change and growth. In the years since, I received my son’s present. I have rarely felt disappointed when a gift doesn’t match my interests or desires. I’ve started appreciating the thoughts and efforts behind every gift and accepted it with gratitude. This change has made holidays more joyful and deepened my appreciation for family and friends. There is surely something special about receiving a gift that is perfectly suited for you. But I have found that it is just as special to receive all gifts with an open mind and a grateful heart. 4. How did the author feel in the beginning when receiving the present from her son? A. Curious. B. Relieved. C. Guilty. D. Dissatisfied. 5. What mainly changed the author’s attitude toward Jason’s gift? A. The understanding of Jason’s thoughts. B. The recognition of her own potential. C. The skirt that matches the blouse. D. The praise from Jason. 6. After reflecting on past gifts, the author became _________. A. careful about choosing gifts B. indifferent to receiving gifts C. joyful about choosing gifts D. grateful for receiving gifts 7. What can we learn from this passage? A. What suits you is best for you. B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. C. An open mind is the source of progress. D. Unspoken gratitude is often the most heartfelt. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者收到了儿子送的生日礼物，这件礼物并不合作者的心意，但作者突然意识到这反应了自己在儿子心目中的形象，作者的心态发生了改变。收下适合自己的礼物固然特别，但怀着开放且感激的心情收下所有类型的礼物同样特别。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“One day I was unwrapping a birthday gift from my teenage son—a blouse more stylish than I felt comfortable wearing. My first thought when I opened the tissue paper and saw the blouse was that it was another candidate to hang in the back of my closet. I felt like the most important person didn’t care enough about me to think about my likes and dislikes.(有一天，我正打开十几岁儿子送的生日礼物——一件与其说我穿起来感觉舒适倒不如说时尚的衬衫。当我打开薄纸看到这件衬衫时，我第一个想到的是，它又是一件挂在衣橱后面的候选衬衫。我觉得最重要的人没有足够关心我，没有考虑我的喜恶。)”可知，作者觉得这件衬衫穿起来不舒服，以后只能在衣柜里束之高阁，她觉得儿子没有关心自己，由此可推测出，作者不满意。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At that moment, I realized Jason saw me as someone who would be open to receiving and wearing something more elegant than my usual clothes. He wanted to give me something special. It was a flash of sudden recognition. Then everything changed.(那一刻，我意识到杰森认为我是一个愿意接受并穿上比平时衣物更优雅的衣服的人。他想给我特别的东西。那是一种突然的认识。然后一切都变了。)”可推知，作者突然理解了儿子的想法，所以改变了对这件礼物的态度。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“It made me think back on the gifts I’d ignored. Maybe the people who gave me the gifts saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. That opened me up to change and growth.(这让我想起了我忽略的礼物。也许送我礼物的人在我身上看到了我自己没有看到的东西。这让我有机会改变和成长。)”和倒数第二段中的“I have rarely felt disappointed when a gift doesn’t match my interests or desires. I’ve started appreciating the thoughts and efforts behind every gift and accepted it with gratitude.(当礼物不符合我的兴趣或愿望时，我很少感到失望。我开始欣赏每一份礼物背后的想法和努力，并感激地接受它。)”可知，作者回顾了过去曾收到的礼物，开始心怀感激地接受礼物。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者一开始收到儿子礼物的时候感觉不合自己的心意，有些失望，但后来突然理解了儿子送这件礼物背后的想法，这让作者改变了心态，回顾以前收到的礼物，作者明白了送礼人背后的想法和努力，此后开始保持开放心态、心怀感激地接受礼物。最后一段中的“But I have found that it is just as special to receive all gifts with an open mind and a grateful heart.(但我发现，以开放的心态和感恩的心接受所有礼物同样特别。)”突出文章主题，即要怀着开放的心态和感恩的心接受所有礼物。由此可推测出，C项“开放的心态是进步的源泉。”符合题意。故选C。 C Black students reported facing barriers that prevent them from completing their undergraduate studies in six years or less, regardless of the type of certificate or degree program, according to research published Thursday by Gallup and the Lumina Foundation. The most significant factors contributing to the lower rates among Black students, the study found, were experiencing acts of discrimination and managing multiple priorities that can interfere with completing coursework. The report compiled data in fall 2022 from 6, 008 college students across different certification and degree programs, including 1, 106 Black students. 21% of Black respondents said they felt discriminated against frequently or occasionally compared to 15% of other students. Black students were also more likely to have shared that they felt disrespected or psychologically unsafe at an institution while learning. 28% of Black students who attended an institution with little diversity felt physically unsafe, while 26% felt disrespected and 27% felt psychologically unsafe. Managing multiple priorities was another factor interfering with Black students’ education goals. The report found that 22% of Black students overall have caregiving responsibilities, compared to 11% of students in other racial groups, and 20% of Black students overall have full-time jobs, compared to 11% of other racial groups. Aside from discrimination and the task of managing responsibilities, the data also acknowledged other barriers making it difficult for Black students to complete their education, including the high costs of attending school. An April 2022 report by The Education Trust found that because Black women fall within two marginalized groups, they make less money and often have to takeout more loans to cover the cost of attending college. 8. Which factor can’t lead to the lower rate of completing education among black students directly? A. Management of multiple priorities. B. Experiences of discrimination. C. The types of certificate or degree programs. D. High costs of attending school. 9. How did the researcher draw the conclusion? A. By referring to previous studies. B By making some comparisons. C. By explaining causes and effects. D. By analyzing respondents’ psychology. 10. What can we infer from the passage? A. About 21% of Black students feel discriminated against frequently. B. Black students feel discriminated mainly due to physical in security. C. Black students have to take full-time jobs for lack of access to loans. D. The black female students may be in the most disadvantaged position. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the phenomenon referred to in the passage? A. Objective. B. Favorable. C. Critical. D. Concerned. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲一项研究具体报告了一些导致黑人学生入学率较低的最重要因素。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“The most significant factors contributing to the lower rates among Black students, the study found, were experiencing acts of discrimination and managing multiple priorities that can interfere with completing coursework. (研究发现，导致黑人学生入学率较低的最重要因素是经历歧视行为和管理可能干扰完成课程的多个优先事项)”和最后一段中“Aside from discrimination and the task of managing responsibilities, the data also acknowledged other barriers making it difficult for Black students to complete their education, including the high costs of attending school. (除了歧视和管理责任的任务外，数据还承认了其他使黑人学生难以完成学业的障碍，包括高昂的上学成本)”可知，多个优先事项的管理、歧视的经历和上学费用高能直接导致黑人学生完成教育的比率较低，C项“证书或学位课程的类型”无法直接导致黑人学生完成教育的比率较低。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段中“21% of Black respondents said they felt discriminated against frequently or occasionally compared to 15% of other students. (21%的黑人受访者表示，他们经常或偶尔感到受到歧视，而其他学生的这一比例为15%)”和第四段中“The report found that 22% of Black students overall have caregiving responsibilities, compared to 11% of students in other racial groups, and 20% of Black students overall have full-time jobs, compared to 11% of other racial groups. (报告发现，22%的黑人学生总体上有照顾责任，而其他种族群体的学生只有11%，20%的黑人学生整体上有全职工作，而其他族裔群体的这一比例为11%)”可知，研究人员是通过把黑人学生和其他族裔学生进行对比而得出结论的。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中“An April 2022 report by The Education Trust found that because Black women fall within two marginalized groups, they make less money and often have to takeout more loans to cover the cost of attending college. (教育信托基金会2022年4月的一份报告发现，由于黑人女性属于两个边缘化群体，她们赚的钱更少，而且往往不得不获得更多的贷款来支付上大学的费用)”可知，黑人女性被自己种族群体和其他种族群体所歧视，因而黑人女学生可能处于最不利的地位。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中“The most significant factors contributing to the lower rates among Black students, the study found, were experiencing acts of discrimination and managing multiple priorities that can interfere with completing coursework.(研究发现，导致黑人学生入学率较低的最重要因素是经历歧视行为和管理可能干扰完成课程的多个优先事项)”和下文内容可知，文章主要讲一项研究具体报告了一些导致黑人学生入学率较低的最重要因素，作者并未发表个人见解，可得出作者对文章中提到的现象持客观态度。故选A项。 D I have taught medical students for 40 years in many contexts — on hospital rounds, during patient appointments, running small group discussions, and teaching large classes. I have lectured on topics that range from biochemical pathways to lifestyle diseases to nutrition science and the biology of aging. The most pleasing part of teaching is passing along the less visible aspects of being a physician — how to show respect for patients and be a true caregiver. I do this by telling stories about my clinical experience during lectures and the pay-off for me is engagement with students. The pandemic and its consequent shift in how students learn has changed all of that. In my 40 years of teaching, I’ve never seen such a dramatic change. The pandemic forced first- and second-year medical students into virtual classes, causing in-person attendance to dive. As I watched this shift to remote learning, I worried about its impact on future doctors. The engagement I once saw in the classroom is now hidden behind screens, and I find myself wondering if my stories and lessons are having the same impact. The shift to virtual learning also worries me about the future of medical education. The personal nature of medicine, often seen in clinical skills training and up-close body studies, is hard to obtain virtually. I’m also concerned about other crucial aspects of early medical school education that I’ve seen benefit students over the years — things like research opportunities, specialty exploration and volunteer work. These activities are much harder to do remotely. These experiences are vital for developing well-rounded, skilled doctors who can provide thorough treatment. Finally, there is a very real threat to medical education in changing the role of the physician professors. Doctors are unusual among professions in the expectation that they will teach medical students regardless of where and what specific field of medicine they practice. Remove professors’ satisfaction that comes with face-to-face teaching and we risk losing their commitment, much of which is often done on an entirely voluntary basis. 12. What did the author enjoy most in the past 40 years? A. Telling attractive stories. B. Lecturing on many topics. C. Sharing his values and attitude. D. Being experienced and respected. 13. What is important for the future of medical education? A. Appealing nature of medicine. B. Well-rounded clinical trainings. C. Hands-on non-virtual experiences. D. Students’ special personal talents. 14. According to paragraph 5, what worries the author? A. Medical professors might be expected to teach wherever they are. B. Medical professors might not fully devote themselves to teaching. C. Medical professors might lose most of the students’ satisfaction. D. Medical professors might change their role to be student-centered. 15. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The issues with reduced face-to-face lecture attendance. B. The debates over necessity of virtual medical education. C. The problems of medical students, low employment rate. D. The concerns about the shift to virtual medical education. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章属于议论文。文章主要讨论了作者作为医学教授在40年教学生涯中遇到的由于疫情导致的医学教育方式转变，以及这种转变对医学教育和学生未来可能产生的影响。作者通过列举自己的教学经历和对疫情下医学教育变化的观察，表达了对医学教育未来发展的担忧，并提出了相关问题，如远程学习对学生学习效果的影响、医学教育个人性质的缺失以及对医学教授角色的潜在威胁等。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“The most pleasing part of teaching is passing along the less visible aspects of being a physician — how to show respect for patients and be a true caregiver. I do this by telling stories about my clinical experience during lectures and the pay-off for me is engagement with students. (教学中最令我满意的部分是传授那些不太显眼的医生特质——如何尊重患者并成为一名真正的护理者。我通过在课堂上讲述我的临床经验来做到这一点，而对我来说，最大的回报就是与学生的互动。)”可知，在过去的40年里，作者最喜欢分享他的价值观和态度。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“The personal nature of medicine, often seen in clinical skills training and up-close body studies, is hard to obtain virtually. I’m also concerned about other crucial aspects of early medical school education that I’ve seen benefit students over the years — things like research opportunities, specialty exploration and volunteer work. These activities are much harder to do remotely. These experiences are vital for developing well-rounded, skilled doctors who can provide thorough treatment. (医学的个人化特性，通常体现在临床技能训练和近距离人体研究中，很难通过虚拟方式获得。我还担心其他对早期医学院教育至关重要的方面，这些方面多年来一直对学生有益——例如研究机会、专业探索和志愿工作。这些活动远程进行的难度很大。这些经历对于培养全面、技能娴熟的医生，能够提供全面治疗，是至关重要的。)”可知，作者认为医学教育中实际操作的非虚拟体验非常重要，这些体验对于培养全面发展的医生至关重要。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“Remove professors’ satisfaction that comes with face-to-face teaching and we risk losing their commitment, much of which is often done on an entirely voluntary basis. (如果剥夺了教授们面对面授课所带来的满足感，我们可能会失去他们的奉献精神，而这种奉献精神往往完全是自愿的。)”可知，作者担心的是教授们可能不会全身心投入教学。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段中“The pandemic and its consequent shift in how students learn has changed all of that. (疫情及其导致的学生学习方式的转变改变了这一切。)”可知，文章整体讨论了由于疫情导致的医学教育转向虚拟教学所带来的各种问题，包括学生参与度下降、实际操作经验难以获得、教授们的教学热情可能受影响等。因此，文章的主要思想是对转向虚拟医学教育的担忧。故选D。 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。 The World Book Day, also called World Book and Copyright Day, falls on April 23rd. ____16____ Reading extensively exposes you to new ideas and knowledge, improves your concentration and memory, and enhances your creativity and critical thinking sills.

He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 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。 At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. Not wanting him to feel left out, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey Germy,” he said. “My name is Jamie.” I replied. I wanted to apologize for starting that rumor about him, but I was too ashamed to say it out loudly. “Del, do you want to play kickball with us?” I asked instead. He looked surprised but happy at the same time. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head. Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I stood up and shouted to the other kids, “Guys, come here! Let’s play kickball together! ” Some of them hesitated, but they eventually joined us. Del was smiling again and so were we. As we played, I realized that Del wasn’t as bad as I thought he was. He was just a normal kid who wanted to have fun and be accepted by others. From then on, whenever someone tried to start a rumor about him, I would stand up for him and tell them the truth about Del. We became good friends, and I learned an important lesson about judging people based on rumors. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者不喜欢一个名叫Del的同学，因为那同学总是称呼作者外号，并且是有名的捣蛋鬼。一次校长把Del叫去办公室，作者透过窗户看到另一个小男孩在哭泣，Del也不高兴，作者认为Del打了人，要被学校开除了，就把自己想象的结果传播给同学，同学们信以为真。Del回到学校后，大家都不和他玩，他很孤独。后来作者知道了真相，校长把Del叫去办公室，是因为他妈妈病了，那个哭泣的小孩是Del的弟弟。作者知道自己传播了谣言，感觉对不起Del，作者主动和Del打招呼，带动其他同学和Del一起玩。他们最终成为好朋友的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天课间休息时，我看见Del独自坐着看踢球比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者想要主动和Del打招呼，和Del一起玩。 ②由第二段首句内容“既然Del已经原谅了我，我决定在课间休息结束前做更多的事情。”可知，第二段可描写作者带动其他同学和Del一起玩，通过交流他们成为好朋友。 2.续写线索：走过去——打招呼——道歉——请求一起玩——带动其他同学一起玩——成为好朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 1.说：say/put it 2.道歉：apologize/say sorry 3.接受：accept/recognize 4.加入：join/take part 情绪类 1. 惊讶的：surprised/astonished 2. 快乐的：happy/pleased/delighted 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
