US News gathered a list of top destinations based on expert opinions and reader votes, considering weather, crowds, seasonal events, and other factors. Lucerne Lucerne, Switzerland, is ideal for various winter activities, from skiing to relaxing by the fire. The city’s snowy streets, ice skating fields, and Christmas markets make it charming during the holidays. The Lilu Light Festival in January continues the festive mood with light displays across the city. Visitors can also access nearby resorts (度假村) for skiing, sledding, and snowshoeing. To unwind, Lucerne offers numerous spas. Big Sky, MT Big Sky, Montana, boasts (夸耀) one of the best ski resorts in the US, with nearly6,000 acres of skiable terrain. The town is popular with outdoor enthusiasts for cross-country skiing, sleigh rides, an enchanted forest, and snow-coach tours of Yellowstone National Park, just an hour’s drive away. Though winter temperatures can be very cold, Big Sky Resort’s Mountain Village provides comfortable accommodation, dining options, and a spa. Honolulu, Oahu While temperatures drop elsewhere, Hawaii’s capital city remains warm, with highs in the low 80s. During winter, visitors can enjoy Chinatown’s Chinese New Year celebrations or the Honolulu City Lights Christmas display. Sports fans should visit during events like the Sony Open in Hawaii golf tournament or the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing. Winter is the island’s high season, so early bookings are essential. Maldives For a romantic winter getaway, the Maldives offers dry weather, temperatures in the mid-80s, and wonderful beaches.

Concerned about him, Kelvin went up to him with the only money he had—a dollar bill he had just been given for his good grades—and offered it to the man. The man in question turned out to be Matt Busbice, owner of sporting goods store Buckfeather. After being awakened by a fire alarm in his apartment complex, but discovering that there was no fire, he decided to grab a coffee to cool down. He then realized he had forgotten to pray that morning, so he stepped outside for a quick moment of reflection. “And I started to slowly open my eyes, and there’s a kid coming at me, about my height,” Busbice told the media. The businessman got himself ready for a conflict. “And I go, ‘What?’” Busbice said. “If you’re homeless, here’s a dollar,” Kelvin replied. “I always wanted to help a homeless person, and I finally had the opportunity.” The boy’s action deeply touched Busbice. After introducing himself and explaining the situation, he bought Kelvin breakfast, promising to stay in touch. Busbice later gave Kelvin a shopping tour at Buckfeather. However, what Kelvin initially expected to get out of this interaction was something else. “Joy, because I helped someone,” Kelvin said. “Give something away, and you feel like you’ve got a lot of things from it.” To which Busbice added, “If you give, you’re actually going to get more out of that. I couldn’t grasp that as a kid. And if we can spread that around, everything changes.” Kelvin shared that he initially thought Busbice was homeless due to his ashy knees, which Busbice explained were caused by psoriasis (银屑病). In the end, they both gained a lifelong friend. To Busbice, the whole experience made him feel richer than any other day in his life. 4. What did Kelvin do when he first saw Matt Busbice? A. He offered him a cup of coffee. B. He gave him a dollar out of kindness. C. He admired him for his social position. D. He observed his behavior with curiosity. 5. Why did Matt Busbice feel shocked at first? A. He was still in panic for the alarm. B. He didn’t want his prayer disturbed. C. He was unsure of the boy’s intention. D. He thought Kelvin was playing a trick. 6. What can we know about the outcome of the event? A. It’s surprising. B. It’s uplifting. C. It’s disappointing. D. It’s heart-warming. 7. What message does the story convey? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Giving is more blessed than receiving. C Charlie from Sydney, felt driven and motivated when he first launched his small business. However, it wasn’t long before he became bogged down, having a decline in motivation. That’s the trouble with motivation. Fiona Kumfor, a senior research fellow at the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre, explains that motivation is influenced by the brain’s reward network, particularly the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) and striatum (纹状体). “The prefrontal cortex is responsible for higher-level thinking, like making decisions, reasoning and planning for the future,” says Dr. Kumfor. “The striatum is important in habitual processes or what we do without thinking.” A chemical called dopamine (多巴胺) is another important component of this reward network. It’s released when we do something that makes us feel good, from eating a tasty meal to going for a jog, and the prefrontal cortex and striatum are very sensitive to it. “Dopamine is really important for reward and motivation,” says Dr. Kumfor. “It’s the release of dopamine in the striatum and prefrontal cortex that ultimately determines our level of motivation and helps us decide what we’re going to do.” The trouble is that short-term decisions are more likely to yield a dopamine rush than things that take longer to achieve like losing weight or, in Charlie’s case, operating a successful business. “When we’re deciding whether to do something, we’re weighing up the costs versus the benefits,” says Dr. Kumfor. “If you take something like eating healthily, for example, the benefit might be that you lose some weight or you’re less likely to have certain medical conditions, but the cost is you’re potentially not going to be able to eat chips, ice cream or other unhealthy food.” To enhance motivation, Kumfor suggests making rewards more immediate and breaking down larger goals into smaller. Charlie found that rewarding himself for small accomplishments and turning these actions into habits were key to boosting his motivation. By doing so, he reduced the reliance on his prefrontal cortex for constant cost-benefit analyses and allowed the habit-forming striatum to take over, making positive behavioral changes more automatic. 8. What is the main idea of the text? A. The challenges of maintaining motivation. B. The operation of motivation and enhancing strategies. C. The role of the prefrontal cortex and striatum in motivation. D. The importance of dopamine in the brain’s reward network. 9. What chemical makes us happy? A. The dopamine. B. The striatum. C. The motivation. D. The prefrontal cortex. 10. Why do people fail to achieve long-term goals? A. Because they demand more dopamine. B. Because we prefer short-term decisions. C. Because they often have higher costs. D. Because we like to eat unhealthy food. 11. How did Charlie solve his motivation problem? A. Avoiding any form of reward. B. Focusing only on long-term goals. C. Ignoring the role of the prefrontal cortex. D. Rewarding himself constantly and making smaller goals. D There’s a whiteboard on the refrigerator in du Plessises’ kitchen the couple uses to plan dinners. But with two young children, full-time jobs and the nearest supermarket20 minutes away, figuring out what to eat can sometimes be challenging. To lighten the load, Mr. du Plessis regularly uses a grocery delivery service. America’s appetite for online grocery sales soared more than 50%, from $62 billion in 2019 to $96 billion in 2020, according to the Food and Drug Administration. One in five consumers now has groceries delivered to their door at least once a month. By 2029, it is estimated that the market will be worth $455 billion. Meanwhile, there’s been a steep increase in demand for restaurant takeout. Meal kits which come with premeasured ingredients are also experiencing strong growth. At the same time, food production and transportation make up as much as 1/3 of a typical US household’s annual contribution to climate change-inducing emissions. The Department of Agriculture estimates that 30% of food produced is wasted. So, changing consumer behavior to minimize waste and reduce transportation could have a significant impact on the overall pollution. In 2022 researchers from the University of Michigan modeled a single 36-item grocery cart to compare greenhouse emissions from an e-commerce grocery delivery and a traditional trip to the store to get the same items. They found that using an electric vehicle to pick up groceries could cut emissions by as much as half, compared to a gas-powered vehicle. They also found that home delivery could be an even better option. That’s because with a delivery vehicle, orders are often clustered, with a driver dropping off not just your groceries, but also hitting neighbors during the same run. When it comes to delivery services, Mr. du Plessis theorizes that because this guy’s literally delivering two burgers and like two sodas, such options would have a big footprint. “For the volume of food compared to the amount of carbon emitted, yeah, the equation doesn’t quite add up.” 12. What is the first paragraph about? A. Meal planning challenges. B. Time-saving meal strategies. C Benefits of grocery delivery. D. The du Plessis family’s lifestyle. 13. What do paragraphs 2 and 3 suggest about grocery delivery services? A. They bring about disorder in commercial competition B. They arouse a pressing need to change delivery mode. C. They bring attention to goods quality concerns. D. They offer convenience for meal preparation. 14. What does the word “clustered” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Grouped together. B. Separated individually. C. Delivered randomly. D. Packed tightly. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Innovations in Food Delivery B. The Challenges of Meal Planning C The Rise of Online Grocery Shopping D. Environmental Effects of Food Delivery 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。 Learning how to live your life with purpose can lead to a sense of general contentment.

When I first laid eyes on him, he gave off the impression of being a rather stuffy old man with a bad reputation for shouting at kids. Strangely enough, he was oddly loved by the older students, but nobody in the first year knew the reason when we took seats in his class for the very first time. At the beginning of our very first history lesson, Mr. Radford shocked us all by declaring that the world is flat. He made this bold statement with great confidence and stated that he could actually prove it. Eagerly, he invited the entire class to quiz him or challenge his seemingly outrageous claim. This set the stage for a highly engaging start to the lesson. Instantly the entire class was thrown into a whirlwind of heated arguments. We quickly formed groups and passionately set out to prove that Mr. Radford was definitely wrong. We were determined to confirm the well-known fact that the world is round. The classroom was filled with the energy and excitement of a heated debate as we all tried to make our points and to argue against Mr. Radford. However, every answer, reason, or piece of evidence that we presented to Mr. Radford was countered (反驳) with a solid theory on his part. He took the time to explain in detail why we do not fall off the edge of the earth. Not only that, but he also provided even more persuasive reasons for why a compass (指南针) points north and south. Just as the bell rang and the class was supposed to come to an end, he spoke to us in a calm manner and said, “This is exactly the kind of reception that Copernicus (哥白尼) received when he tried to explain that the earth is not the center of the universe.” 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。 We were truly shocked and filled with respect by Mr. Radford’s method of teaching. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The “world is flat” lesson really taught me how to think. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 肇庆市2025届高中毕业班第一次模拟考试 英语 本试题共10页，考试时间120分钟，满分120分 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生先将自己的信息填写清楚、准确，将条形码准确粘贴在条形码粘贴处。 2.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。 3.答题时请按要求用笔，保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不得使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。考试结束后，请将本试题及答题卡交回。 第二部分 阅读（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Some travelers are charmed by winter’s first snowfall, while others prefer to escape the season’s cold weather.

I couldn’t grasp that as a kid. And if we can spread that around, everything changes.” Kelvin shared that he initially thought Busbice was homeless due to his ashy knees, which Busbice explained were caused by psoriasis (银屑病). In the end, they both gained a lifelong friend. To Busbice, the whole experience made him feel richer than any other day in his life. 4. What did Kelvin do when he first saw Matt Busbice? A.

B 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，本文讲述了9 岁男孩Kelvin Ellis在咖啡店里误以为Matt Busbice是无家可归者, 因此慷慨地把自己仅有的一美元给了他的故事。这一善举感动了Busbice, 两人由此结下了深厚的友谊的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Concerned about him, Kelvin went up to him with the only money he had—a dollar bill he had just been given for his good grades—and offered it to the man.(出于对他的关心，Kelvin拿着他仅有的钱——一张因为他成绩好而刚得到的一美元钞票——走向他，并递给了那个男人。)”可知，Kelvin看见Matt Busbice时，出于善意给了他一美元。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“The businessman got himself ready for a conflict. ‘And I go, “What?”’ Busbice said.(这位商人准备应对冲突。‘我说，“什么？”’Busbice说。)”和第三段第一句“ “If you’re homeless, here’s a dollar,” Kelvin replied. (“如果你无家可归，这是一美元”Kelvin回答到)”推知，Matt Busbice一开始感到震惊是因为他不确定Kelvin的意图。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In the end, they both gained a lifelong friend. To Busbice, the whole experience made him feel richer than any other day in his life.(最终，他们都获得了终生的朋友。对Busbice来说，这次经历让他感觉比生命中的任何一天都更富有。)”可以推断，这件事的结果是温暖人心的。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段Kelvin的话““Joy, because I helped someone,” Kelvin said. “Give something away, and you feel like you’ve got a lot of things from it.”(“喜悦，因为我帮助了别人，”Kelvin说。“送出一些东西，你会觉得你从中得到了很多东西。”)”以及倒数第二段Busbice的话“To which Busbice added, “If you give, you’re actually going to get more out of that. I couldn’t grasp that as a kid. And if we can spread that around, everything changes.”(对此，Busbice补充道：“如果你付出，你实际上会从中得到更多。我小时候无法理解这一点。如果我们能传播开来，一切都会改变。”)”以及整个故事可知，文章讲述了Kelvin用自己的钱帮助了一个看似无家可归的人（实际上是运动用品店的老板），最终两人都获得了一个终身的朋友，并且都从中得到了更多的东西。由此可知，故事传达的信息是给予比接受更有福。故选D项。 C Charlie from Sydney, felt driven and motivated when he first launched his small business.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文探讨了动机的生理基础（大脑奖励系统），以及如何通过调整奖励机制来增强动机。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Fiona Kumfor, a senior research fellow at the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre, explains that motivation is influenced by the brain’s reward network, particularly the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) and striatum(纹状体). (悉尼大学脑与心智中心高级研究员菲奥娜·昆福解释说，动机受大脑奖励网络的影响，尤其是前额叶皮层和纹状体。)”及第二段内容可知，动力受大脑的特定区域和多巴胺等因素影响。这解释了动力是如何运作的；最后一段中“To enhance motivation, Kumfor suggests making rewards more immediate and breaking down larger goals into smaller. Charlie found that rewarding himself for small accomplishments and turning these actions into habits were key to boosting his motivation. (为了提高积极性，Kumfor建议更直接地提供奖励，并将较大的目标分解为较小的目标。Charlie发现，为小成就奖励自己并将这些行为变成习惯是提高他动力的关键。)”提出了增强动力的策略，包括让奖励更即时和分解大目标等，并以Charlie的经历为例进行说明。因此，整个文章围绕动力的运作和增强策略展开，故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A chemical called dopamine (多巴胺) is another important component of this reward network. It’s released when we do something that makes us feel good, from eating a tasty meal to going for a jog, and the prefrontal cortex and striatum are very sensitive to it. (一种名为多巴胺的化学物质是这个奖励网络的另一个重要组成部分。当我们做一些让我们感觉良好的事情时，比如吃一顿美味的饭菜或者去慢跑，多巴胺就会被释放出来，前额叶皮层和纹状体对它非常敏感。)”可知，多巴胺带给人们快乐感，故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“ ‘When we’re deciding whether to do something, we’re weighing up the costs versus the benefits,’ says Dr. Kumfor. ‘If you take something like eating healthily, for example, the benefit might be that you lose some weight or you’re less likely to have certain medical conditions, but the cost is you’re potentially not going to be able to eat chips, ice cream or other unhealthy food.’ (“当我们决定是否做某事时，我们会权衡成本与收益，”Kumfor博士说。“例如，如果你采取健康饮食等措施，好处可能是你减轻了一些体重，或者你不太可能患上某些疾病，但代价是你可能无法吃薯片、冰淇淋或其他不健康的食物。”)”可知，人们难以实现长期目标是因为长期目标通常成本更高，故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Charlie found that rewarding himself for small accomplishments and turning these actions into habits were key to boosting his motivation. (Charlie发现，因小成就而奖励自己并将这些行为转化为习惯是提升动力的关键。)”可知，Charlie通过为小成就奖励自己并将行动变成习惯来解决动力问题，也就是不断奖励自己并设定小目标，故选D项。 D There’s a whiteboard on the refrigerator in du Plessises’ kitchen the couple uses to plan dinners. But with two young children full-time jobs and the nearest supermarket20 minutes away, figuring out what to eat can sometimes be challenging. To lighten the load, Mr. du Plessis regularly uses a grocery delivery service. America’s appetite for online grocery sales soared more than 50%, from $62 billion in 2019 to $96 billion in 2020, according to the Food and Drug Administration. One in five consumers now has groceries delivered to their door at least once a month. By 2029, it is estimated that the market will be worth $455 billion. Meanwhile, there’s been a steep increase in demand for restaurant takeout. Meal kits which come with premeasured ingredients are also experiencing strong growth. At the same time, food production and transportation make up as much as 1/3 of a typical US household’s annual contribution to climate change-inducing emissions. The Department of Agriculture estimates that 30% of food produced is wasted. So, changing consumer behavior to minimize waste and reduce transportation could have a significant impact on the overall pollution. In 2022, researchers from the University of Michigan modeled a single 36-item grocery cart to compare greenhouse emissions from an e-commerce grocery delivery and a traditional trip to the store to get the same items. They found that using an electric vehicle to pick up groceries could cut emissions by as much as half, compared to a gas-powered vehicle. They also found that home delivery could be an even better option. That’s because with a delivery vehicle, orders are often clustered, with a driver dropping off not just your groceries, but also hitting neighbors during the same run. When it comes to delivery services, Mr. du Plessis theorizes that because this guy’s literally delivering two burgers and like two sodas, such options would have a big footprint. “For the volume of food compared to the amount of carbon emitted, yeah, the equation doesn’t quite add up.” 12. What is the first paragraph about? A. Meal planning challenges. B. Time-saving meal strategies. C Benefits of grocery delivery. D. The du Plessis family’s lifestyle. 13. What do paragraphs 2 and 3 suggest about grocery delivery services? A. They bring about disorder in commercial competition B. They arouse a pressing need to change delivery mode. C. They bring attention to goods quality concerns. D. They offer convenience for meal preparation. 14. What does the word “clustered” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Grouped together. B. Separated individually. C. Delivered randomly. D. Packed tightly. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Innovations in Food Delivery B. The Challenges of Meal Planning C. The Rise of Online Grocery Shopping D. Environmental Effects of Food Delivery 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了美国线上食品杂货销售量增长，及其对消费者行为和环境的影响。研究表明，使用电动车或选择杂货配送服务有助于减少碳排放，而改变消费者行为对减轻环境污染具有重要意义。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“There’s a whiteboard on the refrigerator in du Plessises’ kitchen the couple uses to plan dinners. But with two young children, full-time jobs and the nearest supermarket 20 minutes away, figuring out what to eat can sometimes be challenging. To lighten the load, Mr. du Plessis regularly uses a grocery delivery service.(在杜·普莱西斯的厨房里，这对夫妇用来计划晚餐的冰箱上有一块白板。但由于有两个年幼的孩子，有全职工作，离最近的超市也只有20分钟的路程，弄清楚吃什么有时会很有挑战性。为了减轻负担，du Plessis先生经常使用杂货送货服务)”可知，本段主要描述了du Plessis一家在制定膳食计划时因面临距离和时间等方面的挑战。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“America’s appetite for online grocery sales soared more than 50%, from $62 billion in 2019 to $96 billion in 2020, according to the Food and Drug Administration. One in five consumers now has groceries delivered to their door at least once a month. By 2029, it is estimated that the market will be worth $455 billion. Meanwhile, there’s been a steep increase in demand for restaurant takeout. Meal kits which come with premeasured ingredients are also experiencing strong growth.(美国食品和药物管理局的数据显示，美国人对在线杂货销售的兴趣飙升了50%以上，从2019年的620亿美元飙升至2020年的960亿美元。现在，五分之一的消费者每月至少有一次食品杂货送货上门。预计到2029年，该市场规模将达到4550亿美元。与此同时，对餐馆外卖的需求急剧增加。预制配料的套餐也在强劲增长)”和第三段“So, changing consumer behavior to minimize waste and reduce transportation could have a significant impact on the overall pollution.(因此，改变消费者行为以尽量减少浪费和减少运输可能对整体污染产生重大影响)”可知，食品杂货配送服务急需改变配送模式。故选B项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“with a driver dropping off not just your groceries, but also hitting neighbors during the same run.(司机不仅会给你送杂货，还会在同一次运送中去邻居家)”可知，clustered指的是多个距离相近的订单被分在一起进行配送，即订单被组合在一起。故划线词意思是“组合在一起”。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“At the same time, food production and transportation make up as much as 1/3 of a typical US household’s annual contribution to climate change-inducing emissions. The Department of Agriculture estimates that 30% of food produced is wasted. So, changing consumer behavior to minimize waste and reduce transportation could have a significant impact on the overall pollution.(与此同时，一个典型的美国家庭每年排放的导致气候变化的温室气体中，食品生产和运输所占的比例高达1/3。农业部估计有30%的食物被浪费了。因此，改变消费者行为以尽量减少浪费和减少运输可能对整体污染产生重大影响)”可知，文章重点讨论了食品配送服务和线上购买食品杂货对环境的影响，尤其是它们如何减少碳排放。故D项“食品配送的环境影响”最适合作为文章标题。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。 Learning how to live your life with purpose can lead to a sense of general contentment.

Ask them if they are working on any projects. You might discover new activities to explore or different places to visit.(相反，花点时间和你周围的人谈谈。问他们是否在做什么项目。你可能会发现新的活动或不同的地方去探索)”可知，本句承接上文，并引出下文关于与周围人交谈的建议，旨在建议读者克制这种冲动，并引出后文与人交谈，而不是沉浸于社交媒体。故A选项“抵制这种冲动”符合语境，故选A。 【18题详解】 根据本段内容“Many people have their pet causes that surround an injustice.

When I first laid eyes on him, he gave off the impression of being a rather stuffy old man with a bad reputation for shouting at kids. Strangely enough, he was oddly loved by the older students, but nobody in the first year knew the reason when we took seats in his class for the very first time. At the beginning of our very first history lesson, Mr. Radford shocked us all by declaring that the world is flat. He made this bold statement with great confidence and stated that he could actually prove it. Eagerly, he invited the entire class to quiz him or challenge his seemingly outrageous claim. This set the stage for a highly engaging start to the lesson. Instantly, the entire class was thrown into a whirlwind of heated arguments. We quickly formed groups and passionately set out to prove that Mr. Radford was definitely wrong. We were determined to confirm the well-known fact that the world is round. The classroom was filled with the energy and excitement of a heated debate as we all tried to make our points and to argue against Mr. Radford. However, every answer, reason, or piece of evidence that we presented to Mr. Radford was countered (反驳) with a solid theory on his part. He took the time to explain in detail why we do not fall off the edge of the earth. Not only that, but he also provided even more persuasive reasons for why a compass (指南针) points north and south. Just as the bell rang and the class was supposed to come to an end, he spoke to us in a calm manner and said, “This is exactly the kind of reception that Copernicus (哥白尼) received when he tried to explain that the earth is not the center of the universe.” 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。 We were truly shocked and filled with respect by Mr. Radford’s method of teaching. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The “world is flat” lesson really taught me how to think. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 We were truly shocked and filled with respect by Mr. Radford’s method of teaching. We had entered the classroom with false notions towards Mr. Radford, guessing that he would probably be a bad-tempered teacher, but he completely shattered these impressions and opened our minds to new ways of thinking. His ability to engage us in a heated debate, skillfully countering every argument we put forward with well-thought-out theories, left us astounded. We couldn’t help but admire his creative approach to teaching, turning an ordinary lesson into a fascinating journey of discovery. It was really an unforgettable experience that resonated long after the lesson ended. The “world is flat” lesson really taught me how to think. It was the first time I had started to question what I was supposed to know and what was supposedly true. I discovered the ability to challenge conventional wisdom and embrace alternative viewpoints. Thanks to him, I learned to approach knowledge with an open mind, always hungry for deeper understanding. This experience instilled in me a lifelong passion for critical thinking and continuous learning, shaping me into a more thoughtful individual. It ignited within me a curiosity to explore and seek out opportunities for growth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了历史老师雷德福先生深受学生喜爱，他的“世界是平的”理论让学生感到震惊和钦佩，并且让学生开发了自己的探索能力和思考能力。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“雷德福先生的教学方法让我们感到震惊和敬佩”可知，第一段可描写雷德福先生的教学方法对学生所产生的影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘世界是平的’这一课真正教会了我如何思考”可知，第二段可描写作者从老师那里学到的能力以及感悟。 2.续写线索：感到震惊钦佩——思维方式被打开——难忘经历——教会思考——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①进入：enter/get into ②发现：discover/find out ③结束：end/finish 情绪类 ①惊讶：astounded/surprised ②难忘的：unforgettable/memorable 【点睛】[高分句型1] We couldn’t help but admire his creative approach to teaching, turning an ordinary lesson into a fascinating journey of discovery.
