The boy had never known the joy of biking because he suffered from a brain condition that often caused balance disturbances. When he got home, McLindon, now 60, went online and found a three-wheel recumbent (侧卧的) bike with a seat belt, perfect for a child with balance issues. Soon the boy was cycling around the street with his peers, having fun and getting exercise. But there was more, as McLindon learned from his friend’s reaction. “To see his son interacting with other kids,” McLindon says. “I’ll never forget the smile on his face.” That smile launched the McLindon Family Foundation. Funded by donations, the group works with pediatric rehab (小儿康复) clinics to find children who can benefit from owning bike and to help craft each bike to the particular needs of the child. A bike may include a headrest, a shoulder band, a seat belt, and a caregiver’s steering and braking system in the back. The bikes are expensive — $3, 000 to $4, 000, and that’s with the foundation’s large discount. For kids lucky enough to get one, they’re a life changer. “We worked with a 14-year-old who had a back problem,” says McLindon. She spent most days on the couch watching TV. Soon after she got her bike, she was training for special-needs triathlons (铁人三项). In a magazine interview, she said, “I always knew there was an athlete me.” So far, the foundation has given away 450 bikes, and that’s just a start. “I do a lot of things. I run a lot of companies.” McLindon says. “But getting these kids their bikes most important thing that I do.” 4. What inspired Andrew McLindon to search for a special bike online? A. His enthusiasm for cycling. B. His ambition to start a new business. C. His goal to invent a new type of bike. D. His desire to help a boy with balance issues. 5. Why was McLindon Family Foundation established? A To sponsor special-needs triathlons. B. To raise money for pediatric rehab clinics. C. To provide adaptive bikes for disabled children. D. To offer a social network to children with special needs. 6. What benefit can adaptive bikes bring? A. They can offer medical treatment. B. They can provide exercise and fun. C. They can relieve physical suffering. D. They can improve academic performance. 7. What does McLindon think of his work with the McLindon Family Foundation? A. It is a worthwhile effort. B. It is a temporary solution. C. It is financially rewarding. D. It is technically challenging. C Would you take a trip if you couldn’t use your cellphone? A new tour company called Off the Grid is asking travellers to put their cellphones away and not even use them for photos. The company founder, Zach Beattie, is developing his business, using money he saved from a tech job at a mapping company. He’s hired guides for every trip but will help lead the first few himself. The first trip is to Lisbon, Portugal, in July. It takes 7 to 10 days, with small groups of up to 16 people. Prices range from $1,500 to $1,650, including accommodations, meals and ground transportation. The plan includes at least three excursions (远足) and two social events, with an emphasis on unique experiences over bucket-list sightseeing. The tour also includes surfing lessons, yoga on the beach, a day of sailing and dinner with a local family. “When you’re somewhere new, there’s a lot to see and a lot of cool and interesting people to meet,” Beattie said. “Your phone can distract (使分心) you.” The phone ban won’t be enforced quite as strictly as it seems at first glance. “We want it to be voluntary,” he said. “We’re not collecting phones and throwing them in a locked trunk. It’s held by you, but put in your pocket, and you state your intentions for the week, whether that’s checking your social media once or twice a day or a total blackout.” Tour-goers also get a “dumbphone” without Internet access that’s loaded with numbers for group leaders and other participants, both for emergencies and to promote socializing. Participants may bring regular cameras, but Beattie is hiring a photographer for each tour so there will be plenty of photos to remember the trip. Once the trip is over, participants will have access to those photos for use in social media posts. 8. What can be learned about Zach Beattie? A. He set up his business at his own expense. B. He is always guiding every trip personally. C. He forbids tourists to take along cellphones. D. He used to earn his living in a tour company. 9. What do we know about the Lisbon trip? A. The trip features sightseeing. B. Participants live in homestays. C. Air ticket is covered in the cost. D. Tourists experience water sports. 10. What does Zach Beattie expect the participants to do? A. Lock their phones in a trunk. B. Post their photos on social media. C. Free themselves from their phones. D. Shift their focus onto dumbphones. 11. What can tour-goers do with the dumbphone? A. Take photos. B. Access the Internet. C. Record the trip. D. Contact group members. D Just wanting a hamburger, Hembert Figueroa was surprised to learn the dollar bills in his pocket were no good at Dos Toros Taqueria in Manhattan. Figueroa, an ironworker, had to stand to the side, holding his hamburger, until a cashier helped him find another customer willing to pay for his meal with a card in exchange for cash. “I had money but I couldn’t pay,” he said. Cash-free stores are causing a backlash among some activists who say the practice looks down upon people like Figueroa, who either lack bank accounts or rely on cash for many transactions(交易). Supporters for banning cashless stores worry that technology is moving too fast for the 6.5% of American households — 8.4 million — that do not have a bank account. Business owners who go cashless say they are following the lead of majority of customers who are abandoning cash payments. Retailers are under pressure to satisfy customers with higher expectations for fast and convenient service, driven by companies like Amazon and Uber. Leo Kremer, co-worker of Dos Toros, said the amount of cash transactions at his stores fell from about 50% a decade ago to 15% last year. Cash transactions made handling cash especially troublesome. Before going cashless, Dos Toros locations were robbed twice. Financial experts who work with low-income people caution against making assumptions about the shopping preferences or buying power of those who rely on cash. Justine Zinkin, CEO of Neighborhood Trust Financial Partners, said the greater urgency in the digital time is finding ways to better include low-income people in the banking system, such as urging banks to offer no-fee starter accounts and encouraging banks to open branches in underserved areas. 12. What trouble was Hembert Figueroa faced with at Dos Toros Taqueria? A. He failed to find a cashier for help. B. He was caught carrying false bank notes. C. He took no money or a card with him. D. He couldn’t make a deal with cash. 13. What does the underlined word “backlash” in paragraph 3 mean? A. High expectation. B. Warm welcome. C. Heated debate. D. Strong disagreement. 14. What did Justine Zinkin suggest according to the text? A. Making banks more accessible to low-income people. B. Raising the buying power of low-income people. C. Finding ways for banks to adapt with the digital time. D. Making regulations to ban cashless stores. 15. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. An introduction of cashless stores, a new form of transaction. B. A discussion about whether cashless stores should be banned. C. A discussion about whether cashless stores are lawful. D. An introduction of cashless stores, a production of new technology. 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。 Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting. We all talk to ourselves sometimes. _______16_______. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. _______17_______. Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. _______18_______. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. However, critical language may cause anger and defense. _______19_______. Many of us regret something we once said. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid. Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. _______20_______. The choice is ours. A. How should I say it? B. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? C. Generally people like positive and pleasant words. D. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. E. Words possess power because of their lasting effect. F. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves. G. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. 第二部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40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。 I had driven home to celebrate my 38th birthday with my mother.

I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier. The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch! It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless. I waited and waited but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes? What should I do?”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily. 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。 Para 1: The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: The driver drew back and refused to take the money. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 普宁华侨中学2024-2025学年度第一学期 高二级期中考英语试卷 （试卷共8页，满分：130分，考试时间：120分钟） 1. 答题前，考生务必用黑色字迹的签字笔在答题卡上指定的栏目填写自己的考生号。姓名、班级、座号、试室号及试室座位号，用2B铅笔在每张答题卡的“考生号”栏相应位置进行填涂。 2. 选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑：如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案，答案不能答在试卷上。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡上各题目指定区域内相应位置上：如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案，不准使用铅笔和涂改液。 第一部分 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 The Aquarium(水族馆) of the Pacific is Southern California’s largest Aquarium.

I run a lot of companies,’ McLindon says. ‘But getting these kids their bikes is the most important thing that I do.’ (到目前为止，该基金会已经赠送了450辆自行车，而这仅仅是个开始。“我做很多事情。麦克林登说，我经营着很多公司。但让这些孩子拥有自行车是我做的最重要的事情。”)”可知，麦克林登认为给孩子们自行车是他做的最重要的事情，说明他认为自己付出的努力是值得的。故选A。 C Would you take a trip if you couldn’t use your cellphone? A new tour company called Off the Grid is asking travellers to put their cellphones away and not even use them for photos. The company founder, Zach Beattie, is developing his business, using money he saved from a tech job at a mapping company. He’s hired guides for every trip but will help lead the first few himself. The first trip is to Lisbon, Portugal, in July. It takes 7 to 10 days, with small groups of up to 16 people. Prices range from $1,500 to $1,650, including accommodations, meals and ground transportation. The plan includes at least three excursions (远足) and two social events, with an emphasis on unique experiences over bucket-list sightseeing. The tour also includes surfing lessons, yoga on the beach, a day of sailing and dinner with a local family. “When you’re somewhere new, there’s a lot to see and a lot of cool and interesting people to meet,” Beattie said. “Your phone can distract (使分心) you.” The phone ban won’t be enforced quite as strictly as it seems at first glance. “We want it to be voluntary,” he said. “We’re not collecting phones and throwing them in a locked trunk. It’s held by you, but put in your pocket, and you state your intentions for the week, whether that’s checking your social media once or twice a day or a total blackout.” Tour-goers also get a “dumbphone” without Internet access that’s loaded with numbers for group leaders and other participants, both for emergencies and to promote socializing. Participants may bring regular cameras, but Beattie is hiring a photographer for each tour so there will be plenty of photos to remember the trip. Once the trip is over, participants will have access to those photos for use in social media posts. 8. What can be learned about Zach Beattie? A. He set up his business at his own expense. B. He is always guiding every trip personally. C. He forbids tourists to take along cellphones. D. He used to earn his living in a tour company. 9. What do we know about the Lisbon trip? A. The trip features sightseeing. B. Participants live in homestays. C. Air ticket is covered in the cost. D. Tourists experience water sports. 10. What does Zach Beattie expect the participants to do? A. Lock their phones in a trunk. B. Post their photos on social media. C. Free themselves from their phones. D. Shift their focus onto dumbphones. 11. What can tour-goers do with the dumbphone? A. Take photos. B. Access the Internet. C. Record the trip. D. Contact group members. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一家别具一格的旅游公司，组织无手机旅游，禁止游客在旅游期间使用智能手机，因为手机会分散游客注意力，使他们不能集中注意力欣赏风景。旅游公司会派专人拍照，行程后分享给大家。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“A new tour company called Off the Grid is asking travellers to put their cellphones away and not even use them for photos. The company founder, Zach Beattie, is developing his business, using money he saved from a tech job at a mapping company. (一家名为Off the Grid的新旅游公司要求游客把手机收起来，甚至不要用手机拍照。该公司的创始人扎克·比蒂（Zach Beattie）正在用他在一家地图公司从事技术工作攒下的钱发展自己的业务。)”可知，Zach Beattie用之前工作省下来的钱自己出钱创办自己的旅游公司，名为Off the Grid。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The tour also includes surfing lessons, yoga on the beach, a day of sailing and dinner with a local family.(行程还包括冲浪课程、海滩瑜伽、一天的帆船航行以及与当地家庭共进晚餐。)”可知，在 Lisbon之旅中，参与者有机会体验水上运动，如冲浪，帆船运动等。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““When you’re somewhere new, there’s a lot to see and a lot of cool and interesting people to meet,” Beattie said. “Your phone can distract (使分心) you.” (‘当你到了一个新的地方，你会看到很多东西，会遇到很多很酷很有趣的人。’贝蒂说：‘你的手机会让你分心。’)”以及““We want it to be voluntary,” he said. “We’re not collecting phones and throwing them in a locked trunk. It’s held by you, but put in your pocket, and you state your intentions for the week, whether that’s checking your social media once or twice a day or a total blackout.”(‘我们希望这是自愿的，’他说：‘我们不会收集手机，然后把它们扔进锁着的后备箱。你拿着它，但把它放在口袋里，你陈述你一周的意图，无论是每天查看一两次社交媒体还是完全不上网。’)”可知，贝蒂希望参与者能够远离手机，把自己从手机中解放出来，因为手机会让人分心、会错过旅途中遇到的人和风景，但是不会收手机并把手机锁在后备箱里。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Tour-goers also get a “dumbphone” without Internet access that’s loaded with numbers for group leaders and other participants, both for emergencies and to promote socializing. (游客们还会得到一个不能上网的“笨手机（非智能手机）”，里面有小组领导和其他参与者的电话号码，既可以用于紧急情况，也可以促进社交。)”可知，游客们还会得到一个不能上网的“笨手机（非智能手机）”，里面有小组领导和其他参与者的电话号码，游客可以用“笨手机（非智能手机）”来联络其他组员。故选D。 D Just wanting a hamburger, Hembert Figueroa was surprised to learn the dollar bills in his pocket were no good at Dos Toros Taqueria in Manhattan. Figueroa, an ironworker, had to stand to the side, holding his hamburger, until a cashier helped him find another customer willing to pay for his meal with a card in exchange for cash. “I had money but I couldn’t pay,” he said. Cash-free stores are causing a backlash among some activists who say the practice looks down upon people like Figueroa, who either lack bank accounts or rely on cash for many transactions(交易). Supporters for banning cashless stores worry that technology is moving too fast for the 6.5% of American households — 8.4 million — that do not have a bank account. Business owners who go cashless say they are following the lead of majority of customers who are abandoning cash payments. Retailers are under pressure to satisfy customers with higher expectations for fast and convenient service, driven by companies like Amazon and Uber. Leo Kremer, co-worker of Dos Toros, said the amount of cash transactions at his stores fell from about 50% a decade ago to 15% last year. Cash transactions made handling cash especially troublesome. Before going cashless, Dos Toros locations were robbed twice. Financial experts who work with low-income people caution against making assumptions about the shopping preferences or buying power of those who rely on cash. Justine Zinkin, CEO of Neighborhood Trust Financial Partners, said the greater urgency in the digital time is finding ways to better include low-income people in the banking system, such as urging banks to offer no-fee starter accounts and encouraging banks to open branches in underserved areas. 12. What trouble was Hembert Figueroa faced with at Dos Toros Taqueria? A. He failed to find a cashier for help. B. He was caught carrying false bank notes. C. He took no money or a card with him. D. He couldn’t make a deal with cash. 13. What does the underlined word “backlash” in paragraph 3 mean? A. High expectation. B. Warm welcome. C. Heated debate. D. Strong disagreement. 14. What did Justine Zinkin suggest according to the text? A. Making banks more accessible to low-income people. B. Raising the buying power of low-income people. C. Finding ways for banks to adapt with the digital time. D. Making regulations to ban cashless stores. 15. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. An introduction of cashless stores, a new form of transaction. B. A discussion about whether cashless stores should be banned. C. A discussion about whether cashless stores are lawful. D. An introduction of cashless stores, a production of new technology. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章从一个拿现金在无现金店买不到汉堡的故事引出话题：无现金店该不该禁止，并进行了多方论证。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Figueroa, an ironworker, had to stand to the side, holding his hamburger, until a cashier helped him find another customer willing to pay for his meal with a card in exchange for cash.(菲格罗亚是一名钢铁工人，他不得不站在一边，拿着他的汉堡，直到一位收银员帮他找到另一位愿意用卡支付餐费以换取现金的顾客)”可知，菲格罗亚遇到的麻烦是他不能用现金支付餐费。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中划线单词下文“…who say the practice looks down upon people like Figueroa, who either lack bank accounts or rely on cash for many transactions (交易).(他们认为这种做法是对菲格罗亚这样人的蔑视，这些人要么没有银行账户，要么在许多交易中依赖现金)”可知，此处为无现金商店引起了一些活动人士的强烈反对。由此推知，划线单词backlash为“强烈反对”的意思，与D项Strong disagreement“强烈的分歧，反对”意思一致。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Justine Zinkin, CEO of Neighborhood Trust Financial Partners, said the greater urgency in the digital time is finding ways to better include low-income people in the banking system, such as urging banks to offer no-fee starter accounts and encouraging banks to open branches in underserved areas.(Neighborhood Trust Financial Partners首席执行官贾斯汀·津金(Justine Zinkin)表示，在数字时代，更紧迫的是找到更好地将低收入人群纳入银行体系的方法，例如敦促银行提供免费的初始账户，并鼓励银行在服务不足的地区开设分支机构)”可推知，贾斯汀·津金提出的建议是让低收入人群更容易获得银行服务。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Just wanting a hamburger, Hembert Figueroa was surprised to learn the dollar bills in his pocket were no good at Dos Toros Taqueria in Manhattan.(亨伯特·菲格罗亚(Hembert Figueroa)在曼哈顿的多斯·托罗斯塔奎里亚(Dos Toros Taqueria)只想要一个汉堡，却惊讶地发现口袋里的美元纸币并不好用)”可知，想要一个汉堡的菲格罗亚很惊讶地发现口袋里的钱不太好用。本文从这样一个现金使用的故事引出话题：无现金店该不该禁止，此后从赞同和反对两方面陈述了一些群体的观点。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是关于是否应该禁止无现金商店的讨论。故选B项。 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。 Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting. We all talk to ourselves sometimes. _______16_______. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. _______17_______. Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. _______18_______. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. However, critical language may cause anger and defense. _______19_______. Many of us regret something we once said. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid. Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. _______20_______. The choice is ours. A. How should I say it? B. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? C. Generally people like positive and pleasant words. D. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. E. Words possess power because of their lasting effect. F. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves. G. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. G 19. E 20. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了语言的力量。积极的语言可以激励我们，消极的语言会摧毁我们。用话语去伤害别人还是治愈别人，选择权在于我们自己。 【16题详解】 根据上文“We all talk to ourselves sometimes.(我们都有自言自语的时候)”以及后文“In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.(事实上，我们真的不应该感到不好意思，因为越来越多的专家认为大声自言自语是一种健康的习惯)”由此可知，本句属于过渡句，上文提到我们都会自言自语，后文则提到“不应该感到不好意思”，说明本句是在说明我们会为自己自言自语的行为感到不好意思。故D选项“不过，我们通常都不好意思承认”符合语境，故选D。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. (不过要注意，77%的自言自语往往是消极的)”由此可知，上文提到了要注意自己自言自语时的消极语言，说明本句是在强调要对自己说积极鼓励的话。故F选项“所以为了保持积极，我们应该只对自己说鼓励的话”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据后文“And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. However, critical language may cause anger and defense.(而店员可能也会以同样的方式回答你。然而，批评的语言可能会引起愤怒和防卫)”由此可知，后文提到了商店店员，可知本句是在举例说明在购物时会发生的一些情况，且强调要使用热情友好的语言。后文中the clerk与G选项中store相对应。故G选项“例如，当我们把商品退回商店时，我们可能会在交换过程中使用热情友好的语言”符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Many of us regret something we once said. We remember unkind words said to us as well.( 很多人对自己说过的话感到后悔。我们也记得别人对我们说过的不友善的话)”可知，后文提到很多人对自己说出的话感到后悔，也记得他人对自己说过的不友善的话，说明人们说出的话语有持久的影响。故E选项“语言具有力量，因为它们具有持久的影响”符合语境，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things.(话语具有积极的和消极的力量。当我们积极地说话时，我们周围的人会得到鼓励。我们可以提供希望，建立自尊，激励他人做到最好。消极的话语会摧毁一切)”以及后文“The choice is ours.(选择权在我们自己)”可知，上文分别说明了积极的话语和消极的话语的影响，本句承接上文，说明选择用话语去伤害别人还是治愈别人，选择权在我们自己。故B选项“我们会用我们的话去伤害别人还是治愈别人？”符合语境，故选B。 第二部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40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。 I had driven home to celebrate my 38th birthday with my mother.

I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier. The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch! It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless. I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes? What should I do?”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily. 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。 Para 1: The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: The driver drew back and refused to take the money. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. “What’s up? young man!” asked the driver. “I have a flat tire.” I responded. The driver then knelt on his knee and took a close look at the broken tire. “Nothing serious, I’ll help replace the tire.” Hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief. A surge of warmth soon flowed through my heart. The driver immediately pulled some tools out of the trunk and set to work. Just within minutes, the spare tire was installed in place. Deeply touched by the driver’s selfless help, I grabbed his arm, trying to cram some cash into his hand. The driver drew back and refused to take the money. In no time, he stepped onto the pickup and soon disappeared into the dark night, leaving me greatly shocked. An accident turned out to be a blessing when a stranger approached me like an angel. Many years have passed, but the driver’s kind gesture still sticks in my head. It was his generous help that drove away cold, bringing me warmth on that snowy night. Even though I don’t know his name, his act of kindness makes a great difference to me, always inspiring me to reach out to those in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一个风雪交加的夜晚遇到车辆故障，随后被一位陌生司机无私帮助的故事，展现了人与人之间的温情与善意。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“皮卡终于停了下来，司机走了下来。”以及第二段首句内容“司机抽回手，拒绝收钱。”可知，第一段可描写皮卡车司机下车后帮助作者装好了备用轮胎，作者很感动，想给钱对方表示感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“司机抽回手，拒绝收钱。”可知，第二段可描写司机拒绝接受钱，作者非常感动，常常想起这位好心人。 2.续写线索：司机询问情况——作者解释——司机帮忙——表示感谢——司机拒绝——非常感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回复：respond/reply ②抓住：grab/grasp ③努力做某事：try to do sth /make an effort to do sth 情绪类 ①感动的：touched/moved ②震惊的：shocked/stunned 【点睛】【高分句型1】An accident turned out to be a blessing when a stranger approached me like an angel.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Even though I don’t know his name, his act of kindness makes a great difference to me, always inspiring me to reach out to those in need.（运用了even though引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
