B Most people who ran the marathon last month spent days before resting up and days after recovering. But not Jacky Hunt-Broersma. In total, she ran 104 marathons in 104 days. If it’s confirmed by Guinness World Records, that would be a new world record. And she did it all with one leg and a prosthesis (假肢). “Someone able-bodied had done it previously. I wanted to see if I could do it on a prosthetic leg and see what would happen,” she said. “I thought it would be a great way to inspire others to push their limits because I truly believe that we’re stronger than what we think. And I’ve been so pleasantly surprised that my body is held up, everything is held up and I’ve made it to 104.” She actually did not pick up the sport until after she lost the lower part of her left leg in 2001 to a type of cancer called Ewing sarcoma. Runners using a prosthetic leg can’t use a regular one. They need a running blade (刀锋式跑步义肢). Hunt-Broersma has two, but she was only able to run with one because of the swelling she experienced in her left leg that made it impossible to connect to the other blade. But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continue. Altogether, Hunt-Broersma ran over 4, 385 kilometers. During that time, she has had a lot of time to think and has learned a few things about herself. “It has taught me how strong one can be and how important absolute determination is. If you’re mentally strong, you can do anything,” she said. “And our bodies are just amazing...This whole journey was impressive and super hard, but it’s taught me how strong I can be as a person and how far I can push myself.” 4. Why did Hunt-Broersma decide to run marathons? A. She wanted to set a new record. B. She intended to challenge herself. C. She was driven by her interest. D. She was inspired by people like her. 5. What difficulty did Hunt-Broersma meet with? A. She didn’t get professional training. B. She found it hard to keep her balance. C. She suffered discomfort in her left leg. D. She couldn’t use regular running blades. 6. What message does the author express through the story? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Time works wonders. C. A good beginning is half the battle. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 7. What may be the author’s attitude towards Hunt-Broersma? A. Annoyed. B. Concerned C. Admiring. D. Humorous. C The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the first-ever limits on PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, in drinking water. The agency says that the new rule will protect 100 million Americans from six PFAS known to cause a host of health problems. “I support the decision,” says Susan M. Pinney, director of the Center for Environmental Genetics at the University of Cincinnati. “It’s in line with what we know about the health effects of PFAS.” But while public health experts approve of the new rule, they think that getting forever chemicals out of our drinking water will be a demanding task given the great quantity of PFAS found in it along with the difficulty in removing them. And it may come at a cost to consumers. The downside of the new rule is the cost of employing the technology to fix the problem. The EPA guesses that between 6 and 10 percent of the nation’s 66,000 public drinking water systems may have to make changes to their infrastructure (基础设施) in order to follow the new rule. Eleven states already limit PFAS levels but many will still have to make operational changes if their levels are above the national limit. The first task, Pinney says, should be determining the source of pollution to prevent it from entering the water system — which is cheaper and easier than removing pollution that’s already there. The EPA estimates the annual cost at about $1.5 billion but Chris Moody, from the American Water Works Association (AWWA), thinks it’s been vastly underestimated. In a report last year, AWWA estimated the implementation (执行) budget at close to $3.8 billion. What will that mean for the water bill? Moody says the cost burden depends on the size of your local water treatment facility. “Small systems just don’t have the economy of scale (规模经济) so the cost is much higher per household,” he says. While the EPA has only put strict limits on six PFAS based on a lot of scientific evidence, thousands more are still in the environment. The hope is that once new infrastructure is in place it will also remove many of those chemicals that haven’t yet been banned. 8. What is the primary goal of the EPA’s new rule? A. To protect public health by reducing exposure to PFAS. B. To identify health problems caused by PFAS. C. To monitor PFAS levels in drinking water. D. To limit PFAS use in industry. 9. What should be the first step in addressing PFAS in drinking water according to Susan M. Pinney? A. Establishing national standards for PFAS levels. B. Making operational changes to water facilities. C. Counting PFAS-polluted water systems. D. Identifying the origin of pollution. 10. What is the water bill closely related to according to Chris Moody? A. The AWWA’s level of support. B. The accuracy of the EPA’s estimates. C. The size of the local water treatment systems. D. The local economic performance over the past year. 11. What does the EPA expect of the new infrastructure? A. It’ll put stricter limits on the six known PFAS. B. It’ll remove many PFAS chemicals still allowed. C. It’ll be more environmentally friendly. D. It’ll be put into use as soon as possible. D The Forsa Ring is an iron ring from Hälsingland, dating back to the 10th century. The inscription (铭文) on the ring describes fines for a specific crime, where payment was to be made in the form of oxen and silver. The ring is believed to have been used as a door handle and is currently the oldest known preserved legal text in Scandinavia. By changing the translation of the word “auk” from the previous interpretation “and” to the new interpretation “also” the meaning changes so that fines could be paid either with an ox or with two ore of silver. An ore was equal to about 25 grams of silver. “This indicates a much more flexible system, where both oxen and silver could be used as units of payment. If a person had easier access to oxen than to silver, they could pay their fines with an ox. On the contrary, if someone had silver but no oxen, they could pay with two ore of silver,” says Rodney Edvinsson. The new interpretation shows that the Vikings had a system where both oxen and silver served as units of payment. This system allowed for multiple types of units of accounts to be used at the same time, reducing transaction (交易) difficulty and making it easier for individuals to meet their financial responsibilities. The new interpretation also agrees better with how the system functioned later according to later regional laws and is, according to Rodney Edvinsson, significant for our understanding of both Scandinavian and European history of money. Edvinsson previously contributed to developing a historical consumer price index as far back as the 13th century, but this new interpretation provides insights into price levels even earlier in history. The study highlights the importance of using modern economic theories to interpret historical sources. By combining economic theory with archaeological (考古学的) and historical findings, new opportunities for cross-field research and a deeper understanding of early economic systems are opened up. 12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Vikings only accepted silver as payment for fines from crimes. B. Vikings had no knowledge of legal systems before the 10th century. C. The Forsa Ring inscription suggested punishments in oxen and silver. D. The Forsa Ring was mainly used as a means of trading oxen and silver. 13. Which of the following is an advantage of the payment system? A. People found it more convenient to pay their fines. B. According to later regional laws, it functioned better. C. It allowed for a unique kind of currency unit to be used. D. It became easier for governments to settle their financial duties. 14. What is the significance of the new interpretation? A. It is about 3 centuries older than Rodney Edvinsson’s previous study. B. A new means of interpreting historical sources of inscription is available. C. It shows that early Scandinavians had an advanced overall payment system. D. Opportunities of cross-field research and understanding early economies emerge. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. Early Payment Systems in Scandinavia. B. Interpretations of the Vikings’ Legal System. C. New Insights into the Forsa Ring’s Inscription. D. The Discovery of the Scandinavian Forsa Ring. 第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) Why we forget? Remembering things is an important function of our brain — if we can’t recall how to do something, we can’t survive. If you think about it, there is so much we have to remember — from where we leave our car keys to how we walk. ___16___ Memory allows the brain to store and recall information when required. Our short-term memory can hold a small amount of information for a short time, while our long-term memory can hold an unlimited amount of information for a long time. Our memory is amazing, but why do we still forget things? It maybe because we are in a rush or we consider it irrelevant at the time. When we do store information, we often make connections with other things, which helps us recall it later. ___17___ It is also possible that memories decline over time. If you don’t perform a task for a long period of time, it can be difficult to recall how to do it. This could be because our memory is full,or that our short-term memory is easier to access. ___18___ Have you ever gone into a room to fetch something only to forget what you wanted when you got there? This is called “The Doorway Effect”. This occurs because we change both the physical and mental environments, moving to a different room and thinking about many different things. So, if you have a mind like a sieve (筛子) ,it could be because you have too much on your mind. But we do need to keep our memory sharp by continually using it. ___19___That’s when we’re at more risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. However, forgetting is not always a bad thing! It would waste cognitive resources if we remembered every detail of the world around us. ___20___ A. That’s something worth remembering! B. Maybe it’s no surprise that sometimes we are forgetful. C. But sometimes even our short-term memory can let us down. D. If you don’t have these connections, then it can be easier to forget. E. However, it is widely recognized that short-term memory can be improved. F. We also need some mental relaxation such as listening to some classical music. G. Beyond our 50s, our brains tend to shrink in volume and our memory begins to decline. 第三节完形填空(共15小题.每小题1分，满分15分) In the crowded hallways of high school, Edward, towering at 6 feet 5 inches, stood out.

Her house, located in the heart of a village, was a harbour of quietness away from the noise of city life. As I approached her home, the familiar sight of her welcoming smile warmed my heart. My grandmother, a woman of great wisdom and strength, had always been the backbone of our family. Her hands, though weathered with time, were skilled in the art of growing food from the soil. Her garden was her pride and her love for the land. Upon my arrival, I noticed the wide area of her garden, awaiting the plants that would bring forth a harvest. I eagerly offered to help her with the planting, but she looked at me with concern. Her eyes reflected a mix of affection and apprehension. "Are you sure, my dear?" she asked with doubt. "It's hard work, and I don't want you to tire yourself." Determined to assist her, I insisted on learning the skills of gardening. She saw the determination in my eyes and, with a gentle nod, agreed to teach me. Under her careful teaching, I began my learning, eager to absorb every piece of knowledge she had to offer. The process of planting required patience. My grandmother showed me how to prepare the soil, the proper depth to dig, and the correct spacing between each seedling(幼苗). She explained the importance of each step. She taught me every single detail. At first, my movements were clumsy(笨拙的), and I feared I might be more of trouble than a help. But my grandmother's encouragement was firm. She guided my hands, correcting my technique with a gentle touch and kind words. Slowly, I began to find my rhythm (节奏), and my action became more fluent. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, my grandmother agreed to let me do the planting alone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I left that evening, I looked back at the garden. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 新蔡县第一高级中学高二2024年11月份月考英语试题 注意事项： 1.答题前请填好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息； 2.请将答案正确填写在答题卡上。 一、听力(共两节，满分30分)略 二、阅读理解(共两节，共20小题.每小题2.5分，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，共37.5分) A We are delighted to present the details of our application process and the benefits of choosing our school.

The agency says that the new rule will protect 100 million Americans from six PFAS known to cause a host of health problems. “I support the decision,” says Susan M. Pinney, director of the Center for Environmental Genetics at the University of Cincinnati. “It’s in line with what we know about the health effects of PFAS.” But while public health experts approve of the new rule, they think that getting forever chemicals out of our drinking water will be a demanding task given the great quantity of PFAS found in it along with the difficulty in removing them. And it may come at a cost to consumers. The downside of the new rule is the cost of employing the technology to fix the problem. The EPA guesses that between 6 and 10 percent of the nation’s 66,000 public drinking water systems may have to make changes to their infrastructure (基础设施) in order to follow the new rule. Eleven states already limit PFAS levels but many will still have to make operational changes if their levels are above the national limit. The first task, Pinney says, should be determining the source of pollution to prevent it from entering the water system — which is cheaper and easier than removing pollution that’s already there. The EPA estimates the annual cost at about $1.5 billion but Chris Moody, from the American Water Works Association (AWWA), thinks it’s been vastly underestimated. In a report last year, AWWA estimated the implementation (执行) budget at close to $3.8 billion. What will that mean for the water bill? Moody says the cost burden depends on the size of your local water treatment facility. “Small systems just don’t have the economy of scale (规模经济) so the cost is much higher per household,” he says. While the EPA has only put strict limits on six PFAS based on a lot of scientific evidence, thousands more are still in the environment. The hope is that once new infrastructure is in place it will also remove many of those chemicals that haven’t yet been banned. 8. What is the primary goal of the EPA’s new rule? A. To protect public health by reducing exposure to PFAS. B. To identify health problems caused by PFAS. C. To monitor PFAS levels in drinking water. D. To limit PFAS use in industry. 9. What should be the first step in addressing PFAS in drinking water according to Susan M. Pinney? A. Establishing national standards for PFAS levels. B. Making operational changes to water facilities. C. Counting PFAS-polluted water systems. D. Identifying the origin of pollution. 10. What is the water bill closely related to according to Chris Moody? A. The AWWA’s level of support. B. The accuracy of the EPA’s estimates. C. The size of the local water treatment systems. D. The local economic performance over the past year. 11. What does the EPA expect of the new infrastructure? A. It’ll put stricter limits on the six known PFAS. B. It’ll remove many PFAS chemicals still allowed. C. It’ll be more environmentally friendly. D. It’ll be put into use as soon as possible. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了美国环境保护局（EPA）对饮用水中全氟和多氟化合物（PFAS）的限制标准，并围绕这一主题展开了相关讨论，包括新规的利弊、成本估算以及对未来影响的展望等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)has announced the first-ever limits on PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, in drinking water. The agency says that the new rule will protect 100 million Americans from six PFAS known to cause a host of health problems.(美国环境保护局（EPA）宣布了对饮用水中全氟和多氟化合物（PFAS），也被称为“永恒化学物”的首个限制标准。该机构表示，这项新规将为1亿美国民众免受六种已知会引发多种健康问题的PFAS的侵害提供保障。)”可知，，EPA的新规定的主要目标是减少公众对PFAS的暴露，以保护公众健康。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The first task, Pinney says, should be determining the source of pollution to prevent it from entering the water system—which is cheaper and easier than removing pollution that’s already there.( Pinney说，首要任务应是确定污染源，防止其进入供水系统——这比去除已存在的污染更便宜、更容易。)”可知，确定污染源是解决饮用水中PFAS问题的第一步。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“What will that mean for the water bill? Moody says the cost burden depends on the size of your local water treatment facility.(那么，这将如何影响水费呢？Moody表示，成本负担取决于当地水处理设施的规模。)”可知，Moody认为水费与当地水处理系统的规模密切相关。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“While the EPA has only put strict limits on six PFAS based on a lot of scientific evidence, thousands more are still in the environment. The hope is that once new infrastructure is in place it will also remove many of those chemicals that haven’t yet been banned.(虽然美国环境保护局仅基于大量科学证据对六种PFAS设定了严格限制，但环境中仍有数千种PFAS存在。人们希望，一旦新的基础设施建成，还能去除许多尚未被禁止的化学物质。)”可知，美国环境保护局期望新的基础设施能够去除许多虽然目前仍被允许但可能对环境和健康有害的PFAS化学物质。故选B。 D The Forsa Ring is an iron ring from Hälsingland, dating back to the 10th century. The inscription (铭文) on the ring describes fines for a specific crime, where payment was to be made in the form of oxen and silver. The ring is believed to have been used as a door handle and is currently the oldest known preserved legal text in Scandinavia. By changing the translation of the word “auk” from the previous interpretation “and” to the new interpretation “also” the meaning changes so that fines could be paid either with an ox or with two ore of silver. An ore was equal to about 25 grams of silver. “This indicates a much more flexible system, where both oxen and silver could be used as units of payment. If a person had easier access to oxen than to silver, they could pay their fines with an ox. On the contrary, if someone had silver but no oxen, they could pay with two ore of silver,” says Rodney Edvinsson. The new interpretation shows that the Vikings had a system where both oxen and silver served as units of payment. This system allowed for multiple types of units of accounts to be used at the same time, reducing transaction (交易) difficulty and making it easier for individuals to meet their financial responsibilities. The new interpretation also agrees better with how the system functioned later according to later regional laws and is, according to Rodney Edvinsson, significant for our understanding of both Scandinavian and European history of money. Edvinsson previously contributed to developing a historical consumer price index as far back as the 13th century, but this new interpretation provides insights into price levels even earlier in history. The study highlights the importance of using modern economic theories to interpret historical sources. By combining economic theory with archaeological (考古学的) and historical findings, new opportunities for cross-field research and a deeper understanding of early economic systems are opened up. 12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Vikings only accepted silver as payment for fines from crimes. B. Vikings had no knowledge of legal systems before the 10th century. C. The Forsa Ring inscription suggested punishments in oxen and silver. D. The Forsa Ring was mainly used as a means of trading oxen and silver. 13. Which of the following is an advantage of the payment system? A. People found it more convenient to pay their fines. B. According to later regional laws, it functioned better. C. It allowed for a unique kind of currency unit to be used. D. It became easier for governments to settle their financial duties. 14. What is the significance of the new interpretation? A. It is about 3 centuries older than Rodney Edvinsson’s previous study. B. A new means of interpreting historical sources of inscription is available. C. It shows that early Scandinavians had an advanced overall payment system. D. Opportunities of cross-field research and understanding early economies emerge. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. Early Payment Systems in Scandinavia. B. Interpretations of the Vikings’ Legal System. C. New Insights into the Forsa Ring’s Inscription. D. The Discovery of the Scandinavian Forsa Ring. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出考古新解读揭示维京人使用牛和银作为支付单位的灵活经济系统，这一发现对理解斯堪的纳维亚和欧洲货币史具有重要意义，并强调了运用现代经济理论解读历史资料的重要性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The inscription (铭文) on the ring describes fines for a specific crime, where payment was to be made in the form of oxen and silver. (戒指上的铭文描述了对一项特定罪行的罚款，罚款的形式是牛和银。)”以及第二段中“This indicates a much more flexible system, where both oxen and silver could be used as units of payment. (这表明了一个更加灵活的系统，在那里牛和银都可以作为支付单位。)”可知，Forsa Ring上的铭文描述了特定犯罪的罚款，罚款应以牛和银的形式支付。因此，我们可以从这两段中了解到Forsa Ring的铭文表明用牛和银来支付罚款。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“The new interpretation shows that the Vikings had a system where both oxen and silver served as units of payment. This system allowed for multiple types of units of accounts to be used at the same time, reducing transaction (交易) difficulty and making it easier for individuals to meet their financial responsibilities. (新的解释表明，维京人有一种制度，其中牛和银都可以作为支付单位。这个制度允许同时使用多种类型的账户单位，降低了交易难度，使个人更容易履行其财务责任。)”可知，这个系统允许同时使用多种类型的账户单位，降低了交易难度，使个人更容易履行其财务责任。因此，人们可以更方便地支付罚款。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“ By combining economic theory with archaeological (考古学的) and historical findings, new opportunities for cross-field research and a deeper understanding of early economic systems are opened up.(通过将经济理论与考古和历史发现相结合，为跨领域研究和对早期经济体系的更深入理解开辟了新的机会。)”可知，新解释的意义在于它为跨领域研究和理解早期经济体系提供了新的机会。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Forsa Ring is an iron ring from Hälsingland, dating back to the 10th century. The inscription(铭文) on the ring describes fines for a specific crime, where payment was to be made in the form of oxen and silver. (Forsa Ring是一个铁戒指，来自Hälsingland，可以追溯到10世纪。戒指上的铭文描述了对一项特定罪行的罚款，罚款的形式是牛和银。)”以及通读全文，文章主要介绍了对Forsa Ring铭文的新解读，揭示了维京人的支付系统，因此最适合的标题是“New Insights into the Forsa Ring’s Inscription.(对Forsa Ring铭文的新见解)”符合题意。故选C。 第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) Why we forget? Remembering things is an important function of our brain — if we can’t recall how to do something, we can’t survive. If you think about it, there is so much we have to remember — from where we leave our car keys to how we walk. ___16___ Memory allows the brain to store and recall information when required. Our short-term memory can hold a small amount of information for a short time, while our long-term memory can hold an unlimited amount of information for a long time. Our memory is amazing, but why do we still forget things? It maybe because we are in a rush or we consider it irrelevant at the time. When we do store information, we often make connections with other things, which helps us recall it later. ___17___ It is also possible that memories decline over time. If you don’t perform a task for a long period of time, it can be difficult to recall how to do it. This could be because our memory is full,or that our short-term memory is easier to access. ___18___ Have you ever gone into a room to fetch something only to forget what you wanted when you got there? This is called “The Doorway Effect”. This occurs because we change both the physical and mental environments, moving to a different room and thinking about many different things. So, if you have a mind like a sieve (筛子) ,it could be because you have too much on your mind. But we do need to keep our memory sharp by continually using it. ___19___That’s when we’re at more risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. However, forgetting is not always a bad thing! It would waste cognitive resources if we remembered every detail of the world around us. ___20___ A. That’s something worth remembering! B. Maybe it’s no surprise that sometimes we are forgetful. C. But sometimes even our short-term memory can let us down. D. If you don’t have these connections, then it can be easier to forget. E. However, it is widely recognized that short-term memory can be improved. F. We also need some mental relaxation such as listening to some classical music. G. Beyond our 50s, our brains tend to shrink in volume and our memory begins to decline. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. C 19. G 20.

Her house, located in the heart of a village, was a harbour of quietness away from the noise of city life. As I approached her home, the familiar sight of her welcoming smile warmed my heart. My grandmother, a woman of great wisdom and strength, had always been the backbone of our family. Her hands, though weathered with time, were skilled in the art of growing food from the soil. Her garden was her pride and her love for the land. Upon my arrival, I noticed the wide area of her garden, awaiting the plants that would bring forth a harvest. I eagerly offered to help her with the planting, but she looked at me with concern. Her eyes reflected a mix of affection and apprehension. "Are you sure, my dear?" she asked with doubt. "It's hard work, and I don't want you to tire yourself." Determined to assist her, I insisted on learning the skills of gardening. She saw the determination in my eyes and, with a gentle nod, agreed to teach me. Under her careful teaching, I began my learning, eager to absorb every piece of knowledge she had to offer. The process of planting required patience. My grandmother showed me how to prepare the soil, the proper depth to dig, and the correct spacing between each seedling(幼苗). She explained the importance of each step. She taught me every single detail. At first, my movements were clumsy(笨拙的), and I feared I might be more of trouble than a help. But my grandmother's encouragement was firm. She guided my hands, correcting my technique with a gentle touch and kind words. Slowly, I began to find my rhythm (节奏), and my action became more fluent. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, my grandmother agreed to let me do the planting alone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I left that evening, I looked back at the garden. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Finally, my grandmother agreed to let me do the planting alone. I became more careful. I recalled the skills my grandmother had taught me, including the methods of digging, planting vegetable seedlings and watering them. Happily, I made it and my grandmother praised me. Each seedling I planted was a promise of growth, and a symbol of hope for the future. The sun bore down on us, and sweat dropped from my forehead, but the satisfaction of our labor was a reward beyond measure. When I left that evening, I looked back at the garden. I was so proud to see the seedlings I had grown myself. I knew the day I spent with my grandmother would remain in my heart forever. I helped my grandmother, and in the process, I received a gift far greater than I could have imagined. I had learned the art of gardening. More importantly, I had deepened my bond with my grandmother, a connection that would flourish like the seeds we had planted together. I look forward to gardening with my grandmother again in the future. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者去拜访祖母，并在祖母的指导下学习园艺技能的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最终，我祖母同意让我独自进行种植。”可以预测续写这段主要内容： 作者认真种植，并得到祖母的表扬。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上我离开时，回头看了看花园。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者看到自己的成果感到高兴并期待下一次和祖母一起劳作。 2.续写线索：独自种植——得到祖母赞扬——看自己的成果—— 感悟——期待下一次 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.回忆：recall/look back upon ②.种植：plant /grow ③.帮助：help/assist/aid 情绪类 ①.高兴地：happily/delightedly/joyfully/gladly ②.满足：satisfaction/contentment 【点睛】[高分句型1].
