Self-expression through artistic creation has treated value for those who are seeking deeper understanding of themselves. From my own personal experience, art and creativity has been one of the few things that I can use to adjust and describe my inner most feelings. It was invaluable to have a space where I could lose myself even for just a moment in the brushstrokes (笔触) or pencil lines of whatever I was creating. Growing up, it was one of the only spaces where I could actually express my own emotions. Now, even though art is my job, I still use it to quite my mind and express myself. According to the British Association of Art Therapists, art can be used as a mode of expression and communication. It is not necessary to have any prior experience in art because art is being used as a medium for curing and is not the main focus. Art therapy can treat people from all age groups, from children to the elderly. In addition, it can cure various psychological problems, including emotional or behavioral problems, learning or physical difficulties and so on. It is important to bear in mind that while current research does illustrate that art therapy improves mental health, these studies has a small number of people in them. Therefore, the conclusion cannot be considered definitive. More research is needed to find conclusive (确凿的) evidence of the impact of art therapy on mental health. 4. How does art influence the author? A. It greatly inspires creativity. B. It brings spiritual comfort. C. It enhances work efficiency. D. It improves life quality. 5. What can we know about art therapy according to paragraph 3? A. It can be widely applied to different generations. B. It mainly focuses on people’s emotional problems. C It can help people treat their organ problems. D. It works better for people with an artistic experience. 6. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Art therapy’s targeted subjects. B. Art therapy’s current experiment result. C. Art therapy’s practical value. D. Art therapy’s need for improvement. 7. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Art: A Wonderful Job Trend B. Exploring the World of Art. C. Art: A New Way of Treatment D. Spreading Art to People. C Twice a year for the last 29 years, scientists have walked through the same sections of tallgrass prairie (大草原) in Kansas and recorded as many species as they could find. The goal was to determine the impact of American bison (野牛) on the ecosystem. Tallgrass prairies used to cover a huge part of Texas. Today this habitat is at risk of disappearing, present in just four percent of its former range. Now, decades of efforts and data show a surprising result: When bison were allowed to seek food through prairie, they increased plant species richness by 86 percent. “The big effect bison had knocked us out, ”says Zak Ratajczak, an ecologist at Kansas State University. “I don’t think anyone would have prognosticated this ahead of time. ”252 earlier similar studies worldwide showed bison’s effects were relatively slight. As for reasons, Ratajczak has some theories. Bison tend to choose one area, eating everything up there, while leaving another area of the prairie untouched. They also go around forming disturbances in the soil, forming holes. These are areas where they roll around and shake off their winter coats, and that creates little spots of unique types of soil features. The spots harden and collect water after rain, for example, creating wetlands, which allow more plants to grow. By promoting different types of plant growth, scientists believe bison could help their ecosystems become more adaptable to droughts. Millions of bison lived in the US in the mid 1800s, before the government killed the population, reducing their numbers to a few hundred by 1889. The findings suggest ongoing efforts to reintroduce bison could have enormous and long-term benefits. “That is a relationship that was cut off,” says Jason Baldes, a member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe. “As we restore this connection, it favors bison. And bison, by their presence, boost our land.” 8. What was the purpose of scientists walking through the same sections of tall grass prairie in Kansas? A. To seek greater biodiversity. B. To record many species as they could find. C. To research the reason why this habitat is at risk. D To identify the influence of bison on the ecosystem. 9. What does the underlined word “prognosticated” mean in paragraph 2? A. Considered. B. Accepted. C. Predicted. D. Ignored. 10. How do bison promote plant species richness? A. By keeping away from prairies. B. By changing soil characteristics. C. By providing food and habits. D. By helping plants survive droughts. 11. What does Baldes think of the reintroduction of bison? A. It is a win-win situation. B. It should be done long ago. C. It has a long-lasting benefit. D. It requires efforts from many sides. D For using silk design to extend the shelf-lives (保质期) of main food like leafy greens and meat, and to improve crop seeding and growth, Benedetto Marelli is the winner of the first Bio Innovation Institute &Science Prize for Innovation. Marelli’s lab has produced a food security-enhancing technology from his silk-based materials. Sustainably feeding the world is an increasing challenge given factors like a rising population and climate change novel technologies will be crucial to maintaining food security. Even though the development of biomaterials like silk could do much to settle related crises in food availability, their applications in agricultural products have been largely overlooked. “The research focus of my lab aims to expand the current perception and scope of biomaterials by demonstrating how they can be engineered to combine with food and plants, to ultimately boost food security, ”said Marelli, associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In his early research, Marelli had considered the need to apply sustainable biomaterials technology to address decreasing food resources. In an experiment, Marelli left the strawberries in the lab for days. Upon returning a week later, he was surprised to find that the non-silk treated strawberries had spoiled while the coated, silk-treated ones had not. It gave him the vision to explore other links between sustainable materials and create new technologies to extend the food life cycle. Marelli subsequently co-founded the company Mori, which has developed a silk-based food preservation technology. Mori’s silk-based solution for foods creates an all-natural protective layer that doubles a product’s shelf life and reduces plastic use when shipping. “Mori’s technology may provide an important step in reducing the carbon footprint of our food system by reducing both food and packaging waste, ultimately translating to lower greenhouse gas emissions and a lower impact on natural resources, ”Marelli explained. 12. What do we know about Marelli from Paragraph 1? A He built a plant to make silk. B. He advocated eating safe food. C. He invented an eatable plant. D. He won a prize for his invention. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The review of previous/studies. B. The concerns of some scientists. C. The necessity of studying biomaterials. D. The applications of new materials. 14. What inspired Marelli to explore the silk-based technology? A. An academic conference. B. A food waste survey. C. An unexpected experimental discovery. D. A plant observation diary. 15. What is a major advantage of Mori’s silk-based solution for foods? A. High-quality. B. Eco-friendly. C. Affordable. D. Convenient. 第二节根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。(共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分) When you think of creativity, you might picture an artist at work on a big project.

He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White has promised to offer prizes to those who will get a score of 100. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently. “The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said. “So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I will mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers. Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today. Peter, David and Marty got full marks on the spelling test!” Mr. White gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it up high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought. After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribusion” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-O-N-T-R-I-B-U-S-I-O-N,” he whispered. He spelled it wrong. “What am I to do? ”Peter said to himself. “If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back.” Staring at the full marks written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Slowly, Peter raised his hand. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The class burst into applause. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 石嘴山市2025届高三年级教学质量检测 英语试卷 (满分150分, 考试时间120分钟) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前, 考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚, 将条形码准确粘贴在考生信 息条形码粘贴区。 2. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂;非选择题必须使用0. 5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写, 字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3. 请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答, 超出答题区域书写的答案无效; 在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 4. 保持卡面清洁, 不要折叠, 不要弄破、弄皱, 不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 5. 本试卷共12页。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) 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(共5小题;每小题1. 5分, 满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最 佳选项, 并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小 题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍德瑞国际学校不同课外活动，内容主要包括探索周、艺术、体育和领导力与服务四大类课外活动的丰富选择、培养目标、录取条件、收费类型等信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。比较每类活动中的 Educational Objectives (教育目标)可知，DISCOVERY WEEK注重培养学生“life skills such as teamwork, organization, and independence (生存技能，如团队精神、组织能力和独立能力)”；SPORTS注重培养学生confidence, team spirit, concentration and perseverance (自信、团队精神、专注力和毅力)”，DISCOVERY WEEK 和 SPORTS的目标有提高团队精神。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章ARTS部分“Students can discover their passions in order to develop a deeper aesthetic (美学的) appreciation and gain a greater understanding of their cultural significance. (学生可以通过上述艺术活动发现自己真正的热爱所在，从而更加深入发展美学欣赏能力并进一步理解文化重要性。)”可知，发现自己真正的热爱，才能更进一步理解文化的重要性。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Our after- school programmes include both chargeable overseas activities (OAs) and non-chargeable afternoon activities (AAs). (课后项目分为收费的海外活动和不收费的午后活动。)”可知，A选项所有活动都高收费是错误的。根据每类活动的Admissions Condition (录取条件)可知，SPORTS活动“students of all skill levels without chronic diseases (有无基础均可，但不能有基础性慢性疾病)”，因此，B选项所有活动都需要有经验的参与者是错误的。根据文章第一段第一句话“German Swiss International School (GSIS) has established itself as a top international school in Hong Kong, providing a diverse range of clubs and activities to enable our students to acquire new skills, explore new areas of interest, and develop their talents.(德瑞国际学校(GSIS)已成为香港顶尖的国际学校，提供各种各样的俱乐部和活动，使我们的学生获得新的技能，探索新的兴趣领域，并发展他们的才能。)”可知，所有活动的组织者都是German Swiss International School (GSIS) (德瑞国际学校)，所以C选项正确。根据文章第二段第一句话During one week in the Autumn term可知，只有DISCOVERY WEEK明确表述在秋季学期，其他活动均未提及学期季节，因此D选项错误。故选C。 B Art, as a form of therapy (疗法), was first developed in the 20th century and has gained in popularity in recent years. Self-expression through artistic creation has treated value for those who are seeking deeper understanding of themselves. From my own personal experience art and creativity has been one of the few things that I can use to adjust and describe my inner most feelings. It was invaluable to have a space where I could lose myself even for just a moment in the brushstrokes (笔触) or pencil lines of whatever I was creating. Growing up, it was one of the only spaces where I could actually express my own emotions. Now, even though art is my job, I still use it to quite my mind and express myself. According to the British Association of Art Therapists, art can be used as a mode of expression and communication. It is not necessary to have any prior experience in art because art is being used as a medium for curing and is not the main focus. Art therapy can treat people from all age groups, from children to the elderly. In addition, it can cure various psychological problems, including emotional or behavioral problems, learning or physical difficulties and so on. It is important to bear in mind that while current research does illustrate that art therapy improves mental health, these studies has a small number of people in them. Therefore, the conclusion cannot be considered definitive. More research is needed to find conclusive (确凿的) evidence of the impact of art therapy on mental health. 4. How does art influence the author? A. It greatly inspires creativity. B. It brings spiritual comfort. C. It enhances work efficiency. D. It improves life quality. 5. What can we know about art therapy according to paragraph 3? A. It can be widely applied to different generations. B. It mainly focuses on people’s emotional problems. C. It can help people treat their organ problems. D. It works better for people with an artistic experience. 6. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Art therapy’s targeted subjects. B. Art therapy’s current experiment result. C. Art therapy’s practical value. D. Art therapy’s need for improvement. 7. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Art: A Wonderful Job Trend B. Exploring the World of Art. C. Art: A New Way of Treatment D. Spreading Art to People. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是艺术的疗愈功能。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“From my own personal experience, art and creativity has been one of the few things that I can use to adjust and describe my inner most feelings.

The goal was to determine the impact of American bison (野牛) on the ecosystem. Tallgrass prairies used to cover a huge part of Texas. Today this habitat is at risk of disappearing, present in just four percent of its former range. Now, decades of efforts and data show a surprising result: When bison were allowed to seek food through prairie, they increased plant species richness by 86 percent. “The big effect bison had knocked us out, ”says Zak Ratajczak, an ecologist at Kansas State University. “I don’t think anyone would have prognosticated this ahead of time. ”252 earlier similar studies worldwide showed bison’s effects were relatively slight. As for reasons, Ratajczak has some theories. Bison tend to choose one area, eating everything up there, while leaving another area of the prairie untouched. They also go around forming disturbances in the soil, forming holes. These are areas where they roll around and shake off their winter coats, and that creates little spots of unique types of soil features. The spots harden and collect water after rain, for example, creating wetlands, which allow more plants to grow. By promoting different types of plant growth, scientists believe bison could help their ecosystems become more adaptable to droughts. Millions of bison lived in the US in the mid 1800s, before the government killed the population, reducing their numbers to a few hundred by 1889. The findings suggest ongoing efforts to reintroduce bison could have enormous and long-term benefits. “That is a relationship that was cut off,” says Jason Baldes, a member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe. “As we restore this connection, it favors bison. And bison, by their presence, boost our land.” 8. What was the purpose of scientists walking through the same sections of tall grass prairie in Kansas? A. To seek greater biodiversity. B. To record many species as they could find. C. To research the reason why this habitat is at risk. D. To identify the influence of bison on the ecosystem. 9. What does the underlined word “prognosticated” mean in paragraph 2? A. Considered. B. Accepted. C. Predicted. D. Ignored. 10. How do bison promote plant species richness? A. By keeping away from prairies. B. By changing soil characteristics. C. By providing food and habits. D. By helping plants survive droughts. 11. What does Baldes think of the reintroduction of bison? A. It is a win-win situation. B. It should be done long ago. C. It has a long-lasting benefit. D. It requires efforts from many sides. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家发现引入野牛可以增加濒危的北美大草原的生物多样性，提升了大草原的抗旱能力。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Twice a year for the last 29 years, scientists have walked through the same sections of tallgrass prairie (大草原) in Kansas and recorded as many species as they could find. The goal was to determine the impact of American bison (野牛) on the ecosystem.( 在过去的29年里，科学家们每年两次走过堪萨斯州高草草原的相同区域，并记录下尽可能多的物种。目的是确定美洲野牛对生态系统的影响。)”可推知，科学家们在堪萨斯州的高草草原上行走的目的是确定野牛对生态系统的影响。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The big effect bison had knocked us out.(野牛的巨大影响让我们震惊。)”以及“252 earlier similar studies worldwide showed bison’s effects were relatively slight.( 早前在全球范围内进行的252项类似研究表明，野牛的影响相对较小。)”可知，野牛的影响让科学家震惊，之前有252项类似的研究表明野牛的影响是相对较小的。由此可知，科学家应该是没有预料到这一结果。Predicted“预言，预测”可解释划线词的意思。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They also go around forming disturbances in the soil, forming holes. These are areas where they roll around and shake off their winter coats, and that creates little spots of unique types of soil features. The spots harden and collect water after rain, for example, creating wetlands, which allow more plants to grow.( 它们还会四处走动，在土壤中扰动，形成孔洞。它们在这些地方打滚，甩掉它们冬衣，这就形成了独特的土壤特征。例如，雨后这些地点变硬并收集水分，形成湿地，使更多的植物得以生长。)”可知，野牛通过改变土壤特征来促进植物物种丰富度。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As we restore this connection, it favors bison. And bison, by their presence, boost our land.( 当我们恢复这种联系时，它有利于野牛。而野牛的存在，使我们的土地繁荣起来。)”可知，Baldes认为，当我们恢复与野牛的联系时，这对野牛有利，而野牛的存在也改善了我们的土地。由此可推知，重新引进野牛是一件双赢的事情。故选A项。 D For using silk design to extend the shelf-lives (保质期) of main food like leafy greens and meat, and to improve crop seeding and growth, Benedetto Marelli is the winner of the first Bio Innovation Institute &Science Prize for Innovation. Marelli’s lab has produced a food security-enhancing technology from his silk-based materials. Sustainably feeding the world is an increasing challenge given factors like a rising population and climate change novel technologies will be crucial to maintaining food security. Even though the development of biomaterials like silk could do much to settle related crises in food availability, their applications in agricultural products have been largely overlooked. “The research focus of my lab aims to expand the current perception and scope of biomaterials by demonstrating how they can be engineered to combine with food and plants, to ultimately boost food security, ”said Marelli, associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In his early research, Marelli had considered the need to apply sustainable biomaterials technology to address decreasing food resources. In an experiment, Marelli left the strawberries in the lab for days. Upon returning a week later, he was surprised to find that the non-silk treated strawberries had spoiled while the coated, silk-treated ones had not. It gave him the vision to explore other links between sustainable materials and create new technologies to extend the food life cycle. Marelli subsequently co-founded the company Mori, which has developed a silk-based food preservation technology. Mori’s silk-based solution for foods creates an all-natural protective layer that doubles a product’s shelf life and reduces plastic use when shipping. “Mori’s technology may provide an important step in reducing the carbon footprint of our food system by reducing both food and packaging waste, ultimately translating to lower greenhouse gas emissions and a lower impact on natural resources, ”Marelli explained. 12. What do we know about Marelli from Paragraph 1? A. He built a plant to make silk. B. He advocated eating safe food. C. He invented an eatable plant. D. He won a prize for his invention. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The review of previous/studies. B. The concerns of some scientists. C. The necessity of studying biomaterials. D. The applications of new materials. 14. What inspired Marelli to explore the silk-based technology? A. An academic conference. B. A food waste survey. C. An unexpected experimental discovery. D. A plant observation diary. 15. What is a major advantage of Mori’s silk-based solution for foods? A. High-quality. B. Eco-friendly. C. Affordable. D. Convenient. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家Mareli利用真丝开发了一种食品保鲜技术，可以延长食物的保质期。文章旨在激发学生对科技创新的兴趣，引导学生积极参与环保行动。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“For using silk design to extend the shelf-lives (保质期) of main food like leafy greens and meat, and to improve crop seeding and growth, Benedetto Marelli is the winner of the first Bio Innovation Institute &Science Prize for Innovation. (Benedetto Marelli利用丝绸设计延长了绿叶蔬菜和肉类等主要食品的保质期，并改善了作物的播种和生长，获得了第一届生物创新研究所与科学奖)”可知，Marelli因他的发明而获奖。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Even though the development of biomaterials like silk could do much to settle related crises in food availability, their applications in agricultural products have been largely overlooked. “The research focus of my lab aims to expand the current perception and scope of biomaterials by demonstrating how they can be engineered to combine with food and plants, to ultimately boost food security, ” said Marelli (尽管像真丝这样的生物材料的开发可以在很大程度上解决粮食供应方面的相关危机，但它们在农产品中的应用在很大程度上被忽视了。“我实验室的研究重点是通过展示如何将生物材料与食物和植物结合起来，从而扩大目前对生物材料的认知和范围，最终提高食品安全，”Marelli说)”以及“In his early research, Marelli had considered the need to apply sustainable biomaterials technology to address decreasing food resources. (在他早期的研究中，Marelli考虑过应用可持续生物材料技术来解决食物资源减少的问题)”可知，前半段主要表达了像真丝这样的生物材料，在农产品的应用中被忽视；后半段提到Marelli的研究重点是将生物材料与食物和植物结合，从而扩大目前对生物材料的认知和范围，最终提高食品安全。而在他早期研究中，他认为有必要应用可持续生物材料技术来解决食物资源减少的问题。由此推知，本段主要描述了研究生物材料的必要性。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In an experiment, Marelli left the strawberries in the lab for days. Upon returning a week later, he was surprised to find that the non-silk treated strawberries had spoiled while the coated, silk-treated ones had not 在一次实验中，Marelli把草莓遗留在实验室几天后，他惊讶地发现未经真丝处理过的草莓变质了，而真丝处理过的草莓没有变质)”可推知，是一次意想不到的实验发现激发了 Marelli研究基于真丝的新技术的想法。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mori’s silk-based solution for foods creates an all-natural protective layer that doubles a product’s shelf life and reduces plastic use when shipping. “Mori’s technology may provide an important step in reducing the carbon footprint of our food system by reducing both food and packaging waste, ultimately translating to lower greenhouse gas emissions and a lower impact on natural resources,” Marelli explained.(Mori的真丝保鲜膜解决方案创造了一个全天然的保护层，使产品的保质期延长一倍，并减少了运输时的塑料使用。“Mori的技术可以通过减少食品和包装废弃物，在减少食品系统的碳足迹方面迈出重要的一步，最终转化为更低的温室气体排放，降低对自然资源的影响，”Marelli 解释说)”可知，真丝保鲜膜是一种全天然保护层，能减少运输时的塑料使用，且通过减少食品和包装废弃物，为减少食品系统的碳足迹迈出重要的一步，最终转化为更低的温室气体排放和对自然资源的更低影响。由此推知，基于真丝的食品解决方案非常环保。故选B项。 第二节根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。(共5小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分) When you think of creativity, you might picture an artist at work on a big project.

He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White has promised to offer prizes to those who will get a score of 100. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently. “The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said. “So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I will mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers. Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today. Peter, David and Marty got full marks on the spelling test!” Mr. White gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it up high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought. After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribusion” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-O-N-T-R-I-B-U-S-I-O-N,” he whispered. He spelled it wrong. “What am I to do? ”Peter said to himself. “If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back.” Staring at the full marks written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Slowly, Peter raised his hand. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The class burst into applause. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get full marks on the test. I made a mistake.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper, “I spelled contribution with s-i instead of t-i.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something ever more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter, “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.” The class burst into applause. They stared at him with respect. At that moment, Mr. White said. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us. You did very well in the test by being an honest person”. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr. White. Meanwhile, he couldn’t wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Peter参加英语拼写测试并获得满分，奖励字典，但在查看试卷时Peter发现自己拼错了一个单词，在诚信与奖品之间他陷入了纠结。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“Peter慢慢地举起了手。”可知，第一段可描写Peter鼓起勇气向老师坦白自己拼写错误，并交还了奖品字典。老师对Peter的诚实行为表示赞赏，并向全班同学强调了诚实的重要性。 ②由第二段首句“全班爆发出热烈的掌声。”可知，第二段可描写同学们对Peter的诚实行为表示赞扬和尊重。老师再次将字典赠予Peter，以表彰他的诚实。Peter对老师表示感谢，并迫不及待想与母亲分享这一经历。 2.续写线索：Peter坦白错误——交还字典——老师赞赏诚实——同学们鼓掌——老师再次赠予字典——Peter感谢老师——Peter想与母亲分享 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①站起来：stand up/rise to one’s feet ②递：hand/give/pass ③感受到：feel/sense ④盯着：stare at/gaze at 情绪类： ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②尊重：respect/admiration ③诚实的：honest/truthful 【点睛】[高分句型1] Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk.
