B The “Got Talent” crew is one of the pioneers in finding and publicizing music talent and has been giving the world some of its most favorite artists for almost two decades. In 2023, “Britain’s Got Talent” (BGT) uncovered a musical genius named Malakai Bayoh who impressed the audience with perfect high-note singing. The London-based 13-year-old boy appeared for the show’s audition (海选) in April, 2023 and was accompanied by his mom and sister. “My big dream is to be an opera singer. I started singing at 7,” said Malakai to the BGT team. He then added jokingly, “My mom made me join the choir because she’s very bossy.” The teenager mentioned she was his biggest fan. Malakai’s mom was worried as he was about to perform and said, “It scares me because, on his first show, somebody heckled (对……起哄) him. It was sad to see someone boo a child on stage because it might destroy his confidence completely.” Contrary to his mom’s fear, Malakai set the stage on fire singing a beautiful song and the entire crowd was impressed by his amazing voice. As he ended his song, the audience and the judges gave him a big round of applause. The performance won him Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer, sending him straight to the semi-finals of the show. The other judges called Malakai’s performance “perfect” and “heavenly”. His angelic voice blew the audience away and the judges thanked the teen for coming to the show. Malakai went on to become one of the finalists of the show and signed a record deal with Universal Music. Malakai’ s audition at the BGT went viral on social media, “I’m a trained singer, and a music teacher by profession, and sang this song as a young performer myself. I can say with absolute certainty this is the best I’ve ever heard this song sung, with proper technique and proper breathing. This boy is a gifted singer,” @mayacorinne878 posted. 4 What made Malakai’s mom feel worried? A. The judge’s expression. B. Her son’s performance on stage. C. A bad experience. D. Her son’s difficulty in singing in public. 5. What does the phrase “set the stage on fire” in paragraph 3 imply about Malakai’s performance? A.

He has exceptional talent that is recognized by both professionals and the public. C. He has talent, but his performance was not enough to send him to the semi-finals. D. He lacks talent, but his story touched the hearts of the audience. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The rise of a young opera singer. B. The impact of social media on music talent. C. The history of “Got Talent” shows. D. The challenges faced by young performers. C For adults who have struggled with understanding new math homework or surprised at how quickly kids can learn a second language, there is new evidence that shows kids can really learn things much faster than adults. A study published in Current Biology finds that children and adults have different concentrations of a key brain messenger called gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA. This messenger slows down the brain by blocking specific signals in the body’s central nervous system. It also produces a calming effect and is thought to play a major role in controlling the overactivity of nerve cells associated with anxiety, stress and fear. All these contribute to the learning of new things. In the study, the researchers from Brown University used neuro-imaging techniques to examine visual perceptive (视觉感知) learning in elementary school-aged children and adults. Participants were shown a number of different images and were later asked questions about them following the test. Visual learning caused an increase of GABA in children’s visual cortex, the area of the brain that processes visual information. However, GABA levels didn’t change in the adults who took the same visual tests. In addition, children participants kept that GABA increase for hours after training ended, while the concentrations of GABA remained the same in the adults studied. “In subsequent behavioral experiments, we found that children indeed learn more items within a given period of time than adults.” said Sebastian M. Frank, the co-author of the study. “Our results therefore point to GABA as a key player in making learning more efficient in children.” These results, the authors argue, should encourage teachers and parents to keep giving children opportunities to learn anything from riding a bike to playing an instrument throughout their childhood. The findings may also change neuro-scientists’ conception of brain maturity in children. “Although children’s brains are not yet fully mature and many of their behavioral and cognitive functions are not as efficient as in adults, children are not, in general, surpassed in their learning abilities by adults,” said study co-author Takeo Watanabe. 8. What’s the function of GABA? A. Send specific messages to the brain. B. Deal with complex math problems. C. Make the nervous system more active. D. Increase efficiency in learning new things. 9. What do we know about the children taking the visual test? A. Their GABA concentrations kept increasing after training. B. Their learning abilities still needed to be improved. C. They could remember more images than adults. D. They were surpassed by adults in learning abilities. 10. How did the researchers do the research? A. By comparing participants’ reaction. B. By analyzing statistics. C. By collecting relative evidence. D. By conducting online survey 11. What does Takeo Watanabe want to say in the last paragraph? A. Neuro-scientists don’t fully understand brain maturity in children. B. Children are not mature in their behavior and cognition. C. It takes a long time for children’s brains to be fully mature. D. Children’s brain maturity does not affect their learning abilities. D Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, Open AI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while faithfully following your content instructions. Sora is said to be superior to many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests. Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is astonishing. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by. Sora’s amazing performance wouldn’t be possible without its helpful assistant, ChatGPT, which transforms simple sentences into detailed descriptions, improving the accuracy of output. However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (时空补丁), independently. Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals. 12. What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3? A. Sora’s development. B. Sora’s diversity. C. Sora’s capabilities. D. Sora’s popularity. 13. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 5? A. To highlight Sora’s potential safety risks. B. To illustrate Sora’s existing limitations. C. To showcase Sora’s perfect performance. D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch. 14. What can we know about Sora up to now? A. It has been made available to various industries. B. Its commercial release has been called off. C. It has exposed alarming security issues. D. It is undergoing testing and improvement. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos B. Sora: Surpass existing ChatGPT C. Sora:Generate a rich variety of videos D. Sora:A perfect text-to-video AI model 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being a good friend isn’t always easy. Nevertheless, taking the time to develop a lasting friendship is worth every ounce of effort. ___16___ Here are a few things you can do to be a good friend to others. Make time for each other ___17___ The mark of a good friend is someone who makes time for you and makes spending time with you a priority. A good friend will also look for opportunities to maximize the time you have together by seeking fun and unique experiences that strengthen and maintain your bond. Open up and allow each other to be vulnerable A good friend is someone genuine, someone with whom you can be yourself and they can be themselves around you. A good friend allows you to be vulnerable with them and vice versa, meaning you can expose your emotions and circumstances with each other and trust one another to listen, be supportive, and have each other’s best interests at heart. ___18___ If your friend hurt you, don’t be afraid to talk about it. ___19___ It is one of the most important aspects of being a good friend. Your friend will need you for support especially in hard times. Nobody wants to be friends with someone who actually isn’t interested in them. It’s hard to rely on a person who doesn’t behave in a trustworthy way. We all know well-intentioned people who say, “Okay, I will...” but never follow through. If that’s you, be aware that you’re destroying your friends’ trust. Eventually, they’ll stop believing what you say. Apologize when you’ve made a mistake. If you want your friends to trust you, then you can’t act like you’re perfect. If you know you’ve made a mistake, own up to it instead of denying. Though your friends won’t be happy that you made a mistake, they’ll be very pleased that you’re mature enough to admit it instead of just pretending that nothing is wrong, or worse — blaming it on someone else. ___20___ Let your friends hear the sincerity in your voice. A. Be dependable. B. Be a good listener. C. When you do so, you should mean it. D. A good friend is willing to stick their neck out on behalf of their friends. E. It will contribute to direct lines of communication between both of you. F. Friendships grow through shared experiences and quality time together. G. Because good friendships provide a sense of belonging and security, knowing you are loved. 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。 Raquel is a college student who has spent nearly every summer working in the fields of Southwestern Michigan with her family, 1,500 miles from their home in Edinburg, Texas.

Sure enough, across the street was Ink Spot cleaning himself in the window of Mrs. Cleary’s sitting room. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was my cat, not Mrs. Cleary’s. She had already adopted twelve cats. Why must she keep my cat？I could feel anger boiling up inside me. Meanwhile, Ink Spot’s leaving without any signs upset me. A sense of being left out hit me hard. Ink Spot was special for me. After my baby sister’s birth, “my” parents’ time was taken by her. It seemed no one in the family cared about or even noticed me. Worse still, I was packed off to a kindergarten. I hated being left out from the bottom of my heart. It was when mom noticed me weeping in a corner one night that things began to change. After that, Ink Spot came into my life. Every night, he curled（卷曲）up beside me in bed and he was there for me after school when I raced home just to be with him. I fell in love with Ink Spot the first time I saw its tiny black and white kitten, for which I called him Ink Spot. Mom and daddy beamed with pleasure as my eyes danced with joy again. It was the first time that I had smiled since my little baby sister came into the family. As for me, he was more than a cat. Actually, he was my life. But today when I came home, Ink Spot was in Mrs. Cleary’s window. I wanted him back. But mom insisted that if Ink Spot stayed at Mrs. Cleary’s, that meant it was where he wanted to be. “No！Mom, Ink Spot is my cat”, I protested wildly but I had to admit the truth of mom’s words. Standing on the sidewalk, I was at a loss as to what to do. Staring at Ink Spot for a while, I couldn’t stand the anger any longer. 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。 I walked towards Mrs. Cleary’s house hurriedly and knocked at the door angrily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon seeing me, Ink Spot jumped off the window, running towards me in a flash. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 惠州中学 2023 级高二年级上学期期中考试 英语科试卷 卷面满分 120 分, 考试用时 120 分钟 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A 、B 、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Calling All High School Students Apply to The Daily’s Summer 2023 Journalism Workshop!!

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了对于那些很难理解新的数学作业或对孩子学习第二语言的速度感到惊讶的成年人来说，有新的证据表明，孩子学习东西的速度真的比成年人快得多。解释了研究开展的经过和发现。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A study published in Current Biology finds that children and adults have different concentrations of a key brain messenger called gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA. This messenger slows down the brain by blocking specific signals in the body’s central nervous system. It also produces a calming effect and is thought to play a major role in controlling the overactivity of nerve cells associated with anxiety, stress and fear. All these contribute to the learning of new things.(发表在《当代生物学》杂志上的一项研究发现，儿童和成人大脑中一种名为γ -氨基丁酸（GABA）的关键信使的浓度不同。这种信使通过阻断身体中枢神经系统中的特定信号来减慢大脑的速度。它还具有镇静作用，被认为在控制与焦虑、压力和恐惧相关的神经细胞的过度活动方面发挥着重要作用。所有这些都有助于学习新事物)”可知，GABA的功能是提高学习新事物的效率。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In addition, children participants kept that GABA increase for hours after training ended, while the concentrations of GABA remained the same in the adults studied.(此外，儿童参与者在训练结束后的几个小时内GABA的浓度都在增加，而成人参与者的GABA浓度则保持不变)”可知，参加视力测试的孩子训练后GABA浓度持续升高。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“In subsequent behavioral experiments, we found that children indeed learn more items within a given period of time than adults.(在随后的行为实验中，我们发现孩子们在一段时间内确实比成年人学到了更多的东西)”可知，研究人员通过比较参与者的反应进行研究。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings may also change neuro-scientists’ conception of brain maturity in children. “Although children’s brains are not yet fully mature and many of their behavioral and cognitive functions are not as efficient as in adults, children are not, in general, surpassed in their learning abilities by adults,” said study co-author Takeo Watanabe.(这一发现也可能改变神经科学家对儿童大脑成熟度的看法。研究报告的合著者Takeo Watanabe说：“虽然儿童的大脑还没有完全成熟，他们的许多行为和认知功能还没有成年人那么有效，但总的来说，儿童的学习能力并没有被成年人超越。”)”可知，Takeo Watanabe在最后一段想说儿童大脑的成熟度并不影响他们的学习能力。故选D。 D Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, Open AI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while faithfully following your content instructions. Sora is said to be superior to many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests. Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is astonishing. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by. Sora’s amazing performance wouldn’t be possible without its helpful assistant, ChatGPT, which transforms simple sentences into detailed descriptions, improving the accuracy of output. However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (时空补丁), independently. Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals. 12. What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3? A. Sora’s development. B. Sora’s diversity. C. Sora’s capabilities. D. Sora’s popularity. 13. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 5? A. To highlight Sora’s potential safety risks. B. To illustrate Sora’s existing limitations. C. To showcase Sora’s perfect performance. D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch. 14. What can we know about Sora up to now? A. It has been made available to various industries. B. Its commercial release has been called off. C. It has exposed alarming security issues. D. It is undergoing testing and improvement. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos B. Sora: Surpass existing ChatGPT C. Sora:Generate a rich variety of videos D. Sora:A perfect text-to-video AI model 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了最新的文本到视频模型Sora可以将文字转换为视觉质量良好的视频，同时忠实地遵循您的内容说明，文章讲述了这个视频模型的优势以及局限性。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Sora is said to be superior to many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests.(据说Sora比许多具有类似功能的其他现有型号优越。人工智能模型可以为不同的设备创建合适的长宽比视频。它还允许用户在制作高质量版本之前快速测试低质量的内容，这有助于根据用户的要求加快输出速度)”以及第三段“Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is astonishing.(除此之外，它以逼真和流畅的方式呈现视频的能力令人惊讶)”可知，这两段主要讲述Sora的能力。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another.(然而，目前的模式并不完美。它可能无法准确地显示复杂场景中的事物如何移动，也可能无法理解一个动作如何导致另一个动作)”以及接下来的例子“For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions like left and right, and find it hard to describe events in the right order.(例如，如果有人在Sora制作的视频中吃了一部分饼干，饼干可能看起来不像被咬过。模型可能会混淆方向，如左和右，并发现很难以正确的顺序描述事件)”可推断，下文的例子是为了说明Sora的局限性。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals.(Sora仍处于测试开发阶段。OpenAI现在正在邀请网络安全专家对Sora的系统进行随机攻击，旨在测试该模型可能存在的弱点和风险。Sora也向一些视觉艺术家、设计师和电影制作人开放。他们的反馈将有助于OpenAI改进模型，更好地为创意专业人士服务)”可知，Sora正在进行测试和改进。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, Open AI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while faithfully following your content instructions.(人工智能模型早已不仅仅是创建文本响应和图像。现在，只需一句话，Open AI最新的文本到视频模型Sora就可以将您的文字转换为视觉质量良好的视频，同时忠实地遵循您的内容说明)”结合文章主要讲述了最新的文本到视频模型Sora可以将文字转换为视觉质量良好的视频，同时忠实地遵循您的内容说明，文章讲述了这个视频模型的优势以及局限性。可知，A选项“Sora：引领视频创作”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being a good friend isn’t always easy. Nevertheless, taking the time to develop a lasting friendship is worth every ounce of effort. ___16___ Here are a few things you can do to be a good friend to others. Make time for each other ___17___ The mark of a good friend is someone who makes time for you and makes spending time with you a priority. A good friend will also look for opportunities to maximize the time you have together by seeking fun and unique experiences that strengthen and maintain your bond. Open up and allow each other to be vulnerable A good friend is someone genuine, someone with whom you can be yourself and they can be themselves around you. A good friend allows you to be vulnerable with them and vice versa, meaning you can expose your emotions and circumstances with each other and trust one another to listen, be supportive, and have each other’s best interests at heart. ___18___ If your friend hurt you, don’t be afraid to talk about it. ___19___ It is one of the most important aspects of being a good friend. Your friend will need you for support, especially in hard times. Nobody wants to be friends with someone who actually isn’t interested in them. It’s hard to rely on a person who doesn’t behave in a trustworthy way. We all know well-intentioned people who say, “Okay, I will...” but never follow through. If that’s you, be aware that you’re destroying your friends’ trust. Eventually, they’ll stop believing what you say. Apologize when you’ve made a mistake. If you want your friends to trust you, then you can’t act like you’re perfect. If you know you’ve made a mistake, own up to it instead of denying. Though your friends won’t be happy that you made a mistake, they’ll be very pleased that you’re mature enough to admit it instead of just pretending that nothing is wrong, or worse — blaming it on someone else. ___20___ Let your friends hear the sincerity in your voice. A. Be dependable. B. Be a good listener. C. When you do so, you should mean it. D. A good friend is willing to stick their neck out on behalf of their friends. E.

A good friend will also look for opportunities to maximize the time you have together by seeking fun and unique experiences that strengthen and maintain your bond.(好朋友的标志是他会为你腾出时间，并把和你在一起的时间放在首位。好朋友也会寻找机会，通过寻找有趣和独特的经历来最大限度地延长你们在一起的时间，从而加强和维持你们的关系)”可知，后文主要说明了好朋友会为彼此腾出时间，通过经历来维持关系，即通过共同经历来发展友谊。故F选项“友谊在共同经历和共度美好时光中成长”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“A good friend allows you to be vulnerable with them and vice versa, meaning you can expose your emotions and circumstances with each other and trust one another to listen, be supportive, and have each other’s best interests at heart.(一个好朋友允许你在他们面前脆弱，反之亦然，这意味着你可以在彼此面前暴露你的情绪和情况，信任彼此，互相倾听，支持彼此，并把彼此的最大利益放在心上)”可知，上文提到了有好朋友的各种好处，故本句承接上文说明这么做的好处：有助于你们双方之间的直接沟通。故E选项“这将有助于你们双方之间的直接沟通”符合语境，故选E。 【19题详解】 根据本段内容“It is one of the most important aspects of being a good friend.

If that’s you, be aware that you’re destroying your friends’ trust. Eventually, they’ll stop believing what you say.(这是成为好朋友最重要的方面之一。你的朋友需要你的支持，尤其是在困难时期。没有人想和对自己不感兴趣的人做朋友。很难依赖一个行为不值得信赖的人。我们都认识一些善意的人，他们会说：“好吧，我会……”但从不坚持到底。如果你是这样的人，你要意识到你正在破坏你朋友的信任。最终，他们会不再相信你说的话)”可知，本段的主旨是要成为一个值得信赖的人，即可靠的人。故A选项“成为可靠的人”符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“If you want your friends to trust you, then you can’t act like you’re perfect. If you know you’ve made a mistake, own up to it instead of denying. Though your friends won’t be happy that you made a mistake, they’ll be very pleased that you’re mature enough to admit it instead of just pretending that nothing is wrong, or worse — blaming it on someone else.(如果你想让你的朋友信任你，那么你就不能表现得很完美。如果你知道自己犯了错误，就承认而不是否认。虽然你的朋友不会因为你犯了错误而高兴，但他们会很高兴看到你足够成熟地承认错误，而不是假装什么都没有错，或者更糟的是，把它归咎于别人)”以及后文“Let your friends hear the sincerity in your voice.(让你的朋友听到你声音中的真诚)”可知，后文提到了听到声音中的真诚，说明承认错误要认真，真诚，故C选项“当你这样做的时候，你应该是认真的”符合语境，故选C。 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。 Raquel is a college student who has spent nearly every summer working in the fields of Southwestern Michigan with her family, 1,500 miles from their home in Edinburg, Texas.

Sure enough, across the street was Ink Spot cleaning himself in the window of Mrs. Cleary’s sitting room. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was my cat, not Mrs. Cleary’s. She had already adopted twelve cats. Why must she keep my cat？I could feel anger boiling up inside me. Meanwhile, Ink Spot’s leaving without any signs upset me. A sense of being left out hit me hard. Ink Spot was special for me. After my baby sister’s birth, “my” parents’ time was taken by her. It seemed no one in the family cared about or even noticed me. Worse still, I was packed off to a kindergarten. I hated being left out from the bottom of my heart. It was when mom noticed me weeping in a corner one night that things began to change. After that, Ink Spot came into my life. Every night, he curled（卷曲）up beside me in bed and he was there for me after school when I raced home just to be with him. I fell in love with Ink Spot the first time I saw its tiny black and white kitten, for which I called him Ink Spot. Mom and daddy beamed with pleasure as my eyes danced with joy again. It was the first time that I had smiled since my little baby sister came into the family. As for me, he was more than a cat. Actually, he was my life. But today when I came home, Ink Spot was in Mrs. Cleary’s window. I wanted him back. But mom insisted that if Ink Spot stayed at Mrs. Cleary’s, that meant it was where he wanted to be. “No！Mom, Ink Spot is my cat”, I protested wildly but I had to admit the truth of mom’s words. Standing on the sidewalk, I was at a loss as to what to do. Staring at Ink Spot for a while, I couldn’t stand the anger any longer. 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。 I walked towards Mrs. Cleary’s house hurriedly and knocked at the door angrily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon seeing me, Ink Spot jumped off the window, running towards me in a flash. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I walked towards Mrs. Cleary’s house hurriedly and knocked at the door angrily. The moment she opened the door, I asked Mrs. Cleary with watery eyes, “Why is my cat in your window？” Confused, Mrs. Cleary responded， “I didn’t know he was yours. I just thought he was another abandoned cat, so I took him in just like I took in all the rest. If what I did has hurt you, I am awfully sorry.” Then she led me directly to the sitting room, where cats were playing happily. Upon seeing me, Ink Spot jumped off the window, running towards me in a flash. A flood of excitement passed through my body. I immediately picked him up and held him close as he rubbed beneath my chin purring loudly. Seeing my cat well taken care of, I realized I had misunderstood my caring neighbor. Now my anger gave way to gratitude. I thanked her again and again before I took Ink Spot to my home, where I thought he should belong. The lost and found companion made me feel I was someone again. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物情感变化为线索展开，主要讲述主人公在妈妈生了妹妹后，感到孤独，多亏有猫咪墨点的陪伴，但有一天猫咪去了领居家，主人公误以为是猫咪抛弃了自己，后来误会解除，他再一次感觉被爱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我慌忙走向克利里太太家，生气地敲了敲门。” 可知，第一段可描写主人公是如何质问克利里太太，以及克利里太太是怎样解释的。 ②由第二段首句内容“墨点一看见我，就从窗户上跳了下来，一眨眼的工夫向我跑来。” 可知，第二段可描写主人公情绪变化过程以及内心活动，还有误会矛盾的化解。 2.续写线索：生气质问——解释归还——矛盾误会解开——感激——幸福快乐 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①慌忙：in a hurry/hurriedly ②一眨眼：in the blink of an eye/in a flash ③被……所取代：give place/way to/be replaced by 情绪类 ①困惑：confused/puzzled ②抱歉：feel/be awfully/badly/terribly/rather sorry 【点睛】[高分句型1]: Then she led me directly to the sitting room, where cats were playing happily.(这句话运用了where引导的非限制性定语从句) [高分句型2]: Seeing my cat well taken care of, I realized I had misunderstood my caring neighbor.(这句话运用了现在分词作状语和省略连接词that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
