B Growing up in Kenya, Lesein Mutunkei, together with his family, always celebrated significant occasions by planting trees, which motivated him to protect the environment. It’s what the now 18-year-old soccer player treasures, especially since Kenya has an ongoing problem with deforestation. Mutunkei follows in the footsteps of the late Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai who founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977. This initiative has resulted in the planting of over 51 million trees to date. In 2018 Lesein decided to start a movement of his own. He started by planting one tree for every goal he scored during a football match. He called it Trees4Goals, and it has grown so much that he now plants 11 trees, one for each member of his team, every time he scores. Through this, he wants to inspire young people, specifically his fellow athletes, to follow in his footsteps, take nature conservation seriously, and promise to plant trees every time they score. As a result, some of them have adapted this practice for their sports. “Seeing that they’re taking that responsibility because of the project I started, for me, that is the biggest achievement,” he said. The initiative has caught the attention of English football club Arsenal and Kenya’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry, which he now works with regularly and gets advice from. Like Green Belt Movement, Trees4Goals, which has planted 5,500 trees so far, has made it. While Lesein has received some recognition for his initiative, he sets his sights on making it a worldwide phenomenon. “Football is a universal game, and climate change is a universal problem,” he explains. “It has the power to unite, educate and inspire my generation to create a safer and greener future.” This is why he wants to work with the world’s biggest football federation FIFA. As for what others can do to fight deforestation or other environmental concerns, the teenager says it’s important to just get involved in some way, no matter how small. 4. What made Lesein get interested in environmental protection? A. The influence of his family. B. Wangari Maathai’s huge assistances. C. The demand of the football team. D. His fellow athletes’ encouragement. 5. Why did Lesein found Trees4Goals? A. To gain Kenya’s support. B. To set an example for others. C. To catch Arsenal’s attention. D. To show his achievements. 6. What is Lesein’s hope for the future of Trees4Goals? A. Promoting football’s development. B. Going global with the help of FIFA. C. Beating climate change completely. D. Getting beyond Green Belt Movement. 7. What can we learn from Lesein’s story? A. Fame is a great thirst of the young. B. A youth is to be regarded with respect. C. Positive thinking and action result in success. D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied. C Almost every human culture on earth has its own music. The oldest discovered musical instruments date back over 40,000 years to the Stone Age. But scientists believe that music itself could be much older than that, originating alongside language. Why did music become so closely related to the human experience? I think it gave our ancestors sigrificant survival advantages. In prehistoric times, music strengthened the bond between community members. Singing and drumming together released chemicals like oxytocin, dopamine and endorphins in the brain, which led to positive emotions that allowed groups to cooperate better in hunting,child-caring and protection against outside threats, Singing while working made labor less boring and tiring. Our brains seem wired at birth to link music with positive emotions and togetherness and mothers may have sung to little babies as an early form of emotional communication. Music also enhanced defenses. Guards beating drums and making noise during the night signaled that they were ready to counter surprise enemy attacks. Young night watchmen sang to indicate they were awake and vigilant. Soldiers used instruments to send warning calls across longer distances. In all these ways, music enhanced survival odds over human evolution (进化). Groups that could make music together-whether a simple drumbeat or a beautiful song-were more communicative,cooperative and defensive, Natural selection then passed on the capacity for music to the next generations. Supporting this, scientists have discovered specific regions of the brain devoted to musical processing. Babies have the ability to detect musical patterns and tones. Even patients with severe dementia (痴呆) respond emotionally and physically to their favorite childhood songs when nothing else can cause a reaction. So next time you find yourself singing along to a catchy tune, remember that music is part of what makes us uniquely human. Our Stone Age ancestors sang and drummed because it enhanced their survival. We engage with music now simply because we are born to do so. 8. What is an advantage of music according to the text? A. It could keep soldiers awake. B. It could help babies speak earlier. C. It could enhance productivity. D. It could cure certain rare diseases. 9. Which best explains the word “vigilant” underlined in paragraph 3? A. Tired. B. Hungry. C. Strong. D. Watchful. 10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5? A. Summarize the previous paragraph. B. Add some background information. C. Introduce a new topic for discussion. D. Provide some advice for the readers. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. My View About the Importance of Music B Every Human Culture Has its Unique Music C. The Oldest Musical Instrument Was Unearthed D. Music May Come Into Existence Before Language D While Industry 5.0, also known as the Fifth Industrial Revolution (IR 5.0), is believed to have started in 2020, the rise of AI in recent years has led experts to say it is now coming. Imagine AI-powered robots that see, hear, touch and more, pooling fresh data from across those groups of sensors to create that data with the vast ranges of digital data stored elsewhere online.The age is a major leap from the First Industrial Revolution, when steam engine started to achieve widespread commercial use. Professor John Nosta says, “The integration of sensory capabilities into AI models is not merely a technological leap. It represents a shift in our philosophical (哲学的) understanding of artificial and human intelligence.” He has also referred to the new era as “the Cognitive (认知) Age”, which will completely change how humans live, work,and think about themselves.According to Nosta, humans don’t typically think of computers as “experiencing” the world themselves. But that assumption will be challenged as more advanced AI systems are hooked up to ever more and ever greater sensors. The machines won’t just be logic boxes that humans input data and commands for processing.The AI will collect that data more and more on its own,experiencing the world for itself. “This is not just about understanding words, but also about grasping the tone, pitch (音高), and emphasis, which add layers of meaning often absent in written text.Image recognition adds another layer of complexity,” he added. “For example, it can analyze photographs, identify objects, and even understand the emotional content of facial expressions.” The Johannesburg-based business school is just one of many college-level programs attempting to investigate and teach its students about the still-emerging IR 5.0.Seton Hall in New Jersey offers a three-credit course on this latest age in human technology and trade; MIT has brought in guest speakers to lecture on the concept,and many other research institutions are following suit. 12. How does IR 5.0 differ from previous industrial revolution? A. It processes data and commands. B. It interacts with humans through texts. C. It enhances human sensory capabilities. D. It employs more senses in its application. 13. Why is IR 5.0 called the Cognitive Age? A. AI turns written texts into voice. B. AI collects and interprets data itself. C. AI understands written language well. D. AI has an ability of expressing emotions. 14. How do some colleges address IR 5.0? A. By providing related courses. B. By expecting more industrial revolution. C. By applying AI to the technological trade. D. By preparing for the rapid economic changes. 15. What is the best title for the text? A IR 5.0:Machine Learning B. IR 5.0:Evolution and Application C. IR 5.0:The Dawn of Sensory AI D. IR 5.0:AI Is Replacing Humans 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。 Easy Ways to Reduce Your Food Waste Shop smart. Most people tend to buy more food than they need.

The kids had fallen asleep in the car, so my husband went and checked in while I stayed with the kids. When he returned with the room keys, we woke up our children and took them out of the car, through the hotel, up the elevators and into our guest room. We kept the room dark, leaving only the entry light on, and quickly put the kids into bed hoping they’d drift back into sleep. My husband went to put our waters in the mini-fridge only to notice some beers. “That’s strange,” he said and I agreed, but having discovered left-behind drinks in hotel fridges in the past I didn’t think much about it. I figured the housekeepers had forgotten to check it. In the meantime, my husband ran to the store and I went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. As I washed my face, I looked down to see cardboard beer containers in the trash. I felt my heart begin to pound. We were in someone else’s room! Now panicked, I checked the closet. Nothing. I then went to the dresser drawers. Nothing. My eyes scanned the door room’s floor and there it was: A black bag that looked like one of ours. But it wasn’t! I immediately called the front desk and the waitress in charge responded with an “Oh,my God! This is not good!” By now the kids were wide-awake, jumping on the beds as I was trying to put all of our things back into our oversized suitcase. Just while we were packing our things, I heard someone unlocking the door, which made my heart beating wildly. Paragraph 1: The door opened and in came a young man. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I didn’t know how to deal with the matter but luckily the waitress arrived out of breath. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年下学期高二期中考试试卷 英 语 第一部分　听力(共两节,满分30分)略 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 Best Careers in Australia If you're attempting to take your first steps on the career ladder, this country is certainly rich with opportunity.

(在肯尼亚长大的Lesein Mutunkei和他的家人总是通过植树来庆祝重要的节日，这促使他保护环境)”可知，在Lesein成长的过程中，他和他的家人总是以种树的方式来庆祝重要的节日，这激励他去保护环境。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Through this, he wants to inspire young people, specifically his fellow athletes, to follow in his footsteps, take nature conservation seriously, and promise to plant trees every time they score. (他希望借此激励年轻人，特别是他的运动员同伴，跟随他的脚步，认真对待自然保护，并承诺每次得分都要植树)”可知，Lesein发起“一球一树运动”是作出表率来激励他人保护环境。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“While Lesein has received some recognition for his initiative, he sets his sights on making it a worldwide phenomenon.(虽然莱辛的倡议得到了一些认可，但他的目标是让它成为一种全球现象)”及“This is why he wants to work with the world’s biggest football federation FIFA.(这就是为什么他想与世界上最大的足球联盟国际足联合作)”可知，在FIFA的帮助下，Lesein 希望“一球一树运动”走向全球。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Mutunkei follows in the footsteps of the late Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai who founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977.

Music May Come Into Existence Before Language 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是音乐在人类社会发展中所起到的重要作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“Singing and drumming together released chemicals like oxytocin, dopamine and endorphins in the brain, which led to positive emotions that allowed groups to cooperate better in hunting,child-caring and protection against outside threats, Singing while working made labor less boring and tiring.(一起唱歌和打鼓会在大脑中释放催产素、多巴胺和内啡肽等化学物质，从而产生积极的情绪，使团队在狩猎、照顾孩子和抵御外部威胁方面能够更好地合作。边工作边唱歌可以减少劳动的无聊和疲劳。)”可知，音乐可以提高生产力。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词前的部分“Young night watchmen sang to indicate they were awake(年轻的守夜人唱歌表明他们醒着)”可知，守夜人肯定需要保持清醒和警惕，所以，划线单词vigilant与watchful“警惕的”意义一致。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。第五段开头的this指的是上一段最后一句提到的“Natural selection then passed on the capacity for music to the next generations.(自然选择将音乐的能力传给了下一代。)”，而第五段提到的这些例子“Babies have the ability to detect musical patterns and tones. Even patients with severe dementia respond emotionally and physically to their favorite childhood songs when nothing else can cause a reaction.(婴儿有识别音乐模式和音调的能力。即使是患有严重痴呆症的患者，在没有其他任何东西能引起反应的情况下，也会对他们最喜欢的童年歌曲做出情感和身体上的反应。)”正是为了说明人类的音乐能力是遗传下来的，所以，第五段的作用是提供信息证明上一段提出的观点：自然选择将音乐的能力传给了下一代。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述的是音乐在人类社会发展中所起到的重要作用。所以用A项“My View About the Importance of Music(我对音乐重要性的看法)”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选A项。 D While Industry 5.0, also known as the Fifth Industrial Revolution (IR 5.0), is believed to have started in 2020, the rise of AI in recent years has led experts to say it is now coming. Imagine AI-powered robots that see, hear, touch and more, pooling fresh data from across those groups of sensors to create that data with the vast ranges of digital data stored elsewhere online.The age is a major leap from the First Industrial Revolution, when steam engine started to achieve widespread commercial use. Professor John Nosta says, “The integration of sensory capabilities into AI models is not merely a technological leap. It represents a shift in our philosophical (哲学的) understanding of artificial and human intelligence.” He has also referred to the new era as “the Cognitive (认知) Age”, which will completely change how humans live, work,and think about themselves.According to Nosta, humans don’t typically think of computers as “experiencing” the world themselves. But that assumption will be challenged as more advanced AI systems are hooked up to ever more and ever greater sensors. The machines won’t just be logic boxes that humans input data and commands for processing.The AI will collect that data more and more on its own,experiencing the world for itself. “This is not just about understanding words, but also about grasping the tone, pitch (音高), and emphasis, which add layers of meaning often absent in written text.Image recognition adds another layer of complexity,” he added. “For example, it can analyze photographs, identify objects, and even understand the emotional content of facial expressions.” The Johannesburg-based business school is just one of many college-level programs attempting to investigate and teach its students about the still-emerging IR 5.0.Seton Hall in New Jersey offers a three-credit course on this latest age in human technology and trade; MIT has brought in guest speakers to lecture on the concept,and many other research institutions are following suit. 12. How does IR 5.0 differ from previous industrial revolution? A. It processes data and commands. B. It interacts with humans through texts. C. It enhances human sensory capabilities. D. It employs more senses in its application. 13. Why is IR 5.0 called the Cognitive Age? A. AI turns written texts into voice. B. AI collects and interprets data itself. C. AI understands written language well. D. AI has an ability of expressing emotions. 14. How do some colleges address IR 5.0? A. By providing related courses. B. By expecting more industrial revolution. C. By applying AI to the technological trade. D. By preparing for the rapid economic changes. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. IR 5.0:Machine Learning B. IR 5.0:Evolution and Application C. IR 5.0:The Dawn of Sensory AI D. IR 5.0:AI Is Replacing Humans 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述随着2020年开始的第五次工业革命逐渐成形，近年来人工智能技术的发展促使专家认为这一变革时代已经到来。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Imagine AI-powered robots that see, hear, touch and more, pooling fresh data from across those groups of sensors to create that data with the vast ranges of digital data stored elsewhere online. (想象一下，人工智能机器人可以看到、听到、触摸等等，从这些传感器组中收集新数据，并与存储在网上其他地方的大量数字数据一起创建这些数据)”和第二段的“The integration of sensory capabilities into AI models is not merely a technological leap.It represents a shift in our philosophical(哲学的)understanding of artificial and human intelligence. (将感官能力整合到人工智能模型中不仅仅是技术上的飞跃。它代表了我们对人工智能和人类智能的哲学理解的转变)”可知，第五次工业革命中在应用中使用了更多的感官。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“The machines won’t just be logic boxes that humans input data and commands for processing.The AI will collect that data more and more on its own,experiencing the world for itself. (这些机器将不仅仅是人类输入数据和命令进行处理的逻辑盒子。人工智能将越来越多地自己收集数据，自己体验这个世界)”可知，第五次工业革命被称之为认知时代，因为人工智能能够从自己的传感器获取数据，感知世界。故选B。 14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The Johannesburg-based business school is just one of many college-level programs attempting to investigate and teach its students about the still-emerging IR 5.0.Seton Hall in New Jersey offers a three-credit course on this latest age in human technology and trade; MIT has brought in guest speakers to lecture on the concept,and many other research institutions are following suit. (这所位于约翰内斯堡的商学院只是许多大学级别课程中的一所，这些课程试图调查和教授学生有关仍在出现的工业革命5.0的知识。新泽西州的西顿霍尔开设了一门三学分的课程，内容涉及人类技术和贸易的最新时代；麻省理工学院已经邀请了客座演讲者就这一概念进行演讲，许多其他研究机构也在效仿)”可知，多所大学提供了关于第五次工业革命的课程和讲座等。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While Industry 5.0, also known as the Fifth Industrial Revolution (IR 5.0), is believed to have started in 2020, the rise of AI in recent years has led experts to say it is now coming. (虽然工业5.0，也被称为第五次工业革命（IR 5.0），被认为是在2020年开始的，但近年来人工智能的崛起让专家们表示，它现在正在到来。)”结合本文主要介绍了随着人工智能技术的迅速发展，人类已迈入第五次工业革命（IR 5.0），这一新时代标志着人与AI之间更深层次的合作。不同于以往以文本命令为主的交互方式，新的工业革命将实现AI能通过视觉、听觉等多种形式收集、整合信息，并结合网络上庞大的数据进行深度理解，预示着一个被称作“认知时代”的新纪元。由此可知，C项“IR 5.0：感官AI的黎明”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。 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。 Easy Ways to Reduce Your Food Waste Shop smart. Most people tend to buy more food than they need. To avoid buying more food than you need, make frequent trips to the supermarket every few days rather than doing a big shopping trip once a week. ____16____ This will help you reduce impulse buying (冲动消费) and reduce food waste as well. Store food correctly. Improper storage leads to a massive amount of food waste. Many people are unsure how to store fruits and vegetables, which can lead to their eventually going bad. For example, potatoes, tomatoes, and onions should never be refrigerated. ____17____ ____18____ The consumer demand for perfect fruits and vegetables has led major supermarkets to buy only picture-perfect produce from farmers. This leads to tons of perfectly good food going to waste. It’s such a big issue that major supermarkets have started offering “ugly” fruits and vegetables at a discount in an attempt to reduce waste. Pack your lunch. Although going out to lunch with co-workers may be enjoyable, it is also costly and can contribute to food waste. ____19____ If you tend to have unfinished home-cooked meals, pack them up for a satisfying and healthy workday lunch. Understand expiration (到期) dates. “Sell by” and “Best by” are just two of the many confusing terms companies use on food labels to let consumers know when a product will most likely go bad. The truth is, most food that has just passed its expiration date is still safe to eat. “Sell by” is used to inform sellers when the product should be sold or removed from the shelves. ____20____ Neither of these terms means that the product is unsafe to eat after the given date. A. Don’t be a perfectionist. B. Get creative in the kitchen. C. These items should be kept at room temperature. D. “Best by” is a suggested date for consumers to use their products by. E. A helpful way to reduce food waste is to bring lunch to work with you. F. Additionally, try making a list of items that you need to buy and stick to that list. G. Not surprisingly, industrialized countries waste more food than developing nations. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. A 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些减少食物浪费的简单方法。 【16题详解】 前文“To avoid buying more food than you need, make frequent trips to the supermarket every few days rather than doing a big shopping trip once a week. (为了避免买到比你需要的更多的食物，每隔几天就频繁地去一次超市，而不是每周去一次大的购物。)”建议频繁去超市购买食物，而不是进行大采购，后文“This will help you reduce impulse buying (冲动消费) and reduce food waste as well. (这将帮助你减少冲动消费，减少食物浪费。)”指出某种做法的好处，因此F项“Additionally, try making a list of items that you need to buy and stick to that list. (另外，试着把你需要买的东西列一个清单，并严格按照这个清单去做。)”符合语境，同样是购物的建议，指出按照所列清单购物，承接前文，后文是对其评价。故选F。 【17题详解】 前文“For example, potatoes, tomatoes, and onions should never be refrigerated. (例如，土豆、西红柿和洋葱永远不应该冷藏。)”举例说明如何保存食物，指出有些蔬菜不应冷藏，因此C项“These items should be kept at room temperature. (这些物品应在室温下保存。)”符合语境，指出这些蔬菜应室温保存，承接前文，其中的These items指代前文的potatoes, tomatoes, and onions。故选C。 【18题详解】 空处是段落标题，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“The consumer demand for perfect fruits and vegetables has led major supermarkets to buy only picture-perfect produce from farmers. This leads to tons of perfectly good food going to waste. (消费者对完美水果和蔬菜的需求导致大型超市只从农民那里购买完美的农产品。这导致大量的好食物被浪费了。)”可知，本段主要指出消费者一味追求完美会造成浪费，因此A项“Don’t be a perfectionist. (不要做一个完美主义者。)”符合语境，建议避免追求完美，契合段落内容，其中的perfectionist和后文的perfect呼应。故选A。 【19题详解】 前文“Although going out to lunch with co-workers may be enjoyable, it is also costly and can contribute to food waste. (虽然和同事出去吃午饭可能会很愉快，但这也很昂贵，而且会造成食物浪费。)”指出和同事外出用午餐容易导致浪费，后文“If you tend to have unfinished home-cooked meals, pack them up for a satisfying and healthy workday lunch. (如果你经常有吃不完的家常菜，那就把它们打包起来，做成一份既满意又健康的工作日午餐。)”具体建议打包家常菜作为工作日午餐，因此E项“A helpful way to reduce food waste is to bring lunch to work with you. (减少食物浪费的一个有效方法是带午餐去上班。)”符合语境，建议带午餐去上班，承前启后，起到过渡的作用。故选E。 【20题详解】 前文““Sell by” is used to inform sellers when the product should be sold or removed from the shelves. (“销售时间”是用来通知卖家产品何时应该出售或从货架上撤下。)”解释“销售时间”的含义，后文“Neither of these terms means that the product is unsafe to eat after the given date. (这两个术语都不意味着该产品在指定日期后食用是不安全的。)”总结两个术语背后的意味，因此D项““Best by” is a suggested date for consumers to use their products by. (“最佳使用日期”是建议消费者使用产品的日期。)”符合语境，解释“最佳使用日期”的含义，和前文是并列关系，引出后文。故选D。 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。 My twin sister and I studied in the same school for ten years.

The kids had fallen asleep in the car, so my husband went and checked in while I stayed with the kids. When he returned with the room keys, we woke up our children and took them out of the car, through the hotel, up the elevators and into our guest room. We kept the room dark, leaving only the entry light on, and quickly put the kids into bed hoping they’d drift back into sleep. My husband went to put our waters in the mini-fridge only to notice some beers. “That’s strange,” he said and I agreed, but having discovered left-behind drinks in hotel fridges in the past I didn’t think much about it. I figured the housekeepers had forgotten to check it. In the meantime, my husband ran to the store and I went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. As I washed my face, I looked down to see cardboard beer containers in the trash. I felt my heart begin to pound. We were in someone else’s room! Now panicked, I checked the closet. Nothing. I then went to the dresser drawers. Nothing. My eyes scanned the door room’s floor and there it was: A black bag that looked like one of ours. But it wasn’t! I immediately called the front desk and the waitress in charge responded with an “Oh,my God! This is not good!” By now the kids were wide-awake, jumping on the beds as I was trying to put all of our things back into our oversized suitcase. Just while we were packing our things, I heard someone unlocking the door, which made my heart beating wildly. Paragraph 1: The door opened and in came a young man. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I didn’t know how to deal with the matter but luckily the waitress arrived out of breath. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: The door opened and in came a young man. After seeing us packing our things into our suitcase, he was shocked and angry. I tried to explain what had happened. However, he wouldn’t listen to me. He talked with me in a loud voice, making my kids frightened. The kids began to cry. Just at that time my husband returned, with some things bought from the store in his hands. Thinking the young man was unfriendly, he started to quarrel with him. Paragraph 2: I didn’t know how to deal with the matter but luckily the waitress arrived out of breath. Watching the waitress, all of us stopped talking. She explained that her mother became badly ill last night, which contributed to her fault. After explaining the reason to us, the waitress burst into tears. The young man, my husband and I, even my kids, tried to comfort the waitress. We said sorry to each other. The special experience in someone else’s room made me realize forgiveness is a kind of virtue. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家去蒙大拿州旅行，在晚上入住酒店时发现进入了别人的房间。结果住这个房间的年轻人回来了，对作者的家人大喊大叫，结果饭店的女服务员解释了原因。作者意识到宽恕是一种美德。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“门开了，一个年轻人走了进来。”可知，第一段可描写房间的主人回来以后，与作者以及家人的对峙。 ②由第二段首句内容“我不知道该如何处理这件事，但幸运的是，女服务员上气不接下气地来了。”可知，第二段可描写女服务员解释了原因，大家都互相谅解了。 2.续写线索：年轻人感到震惊和生气——作者尝试解释——年轻人大声讲话，孩子感到害怕——女服务员解释母亲生病导致犯错——女服务员哭了——大家安慰女服务员——作者意识到宽恕是美德 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①试图做某事：try to do sth./attempt to do sth. ②讲话：talk with sb./communicate with sb. ③导致：contribute to/result in 情绪类 ①生气的：angry/annoyed ②害怕的：frightened/scared ③突然大哭：burst into tears/burst out crying 【点睛】[高分句型1] He talked with me in a loud voice, making my kids frightened.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] She explained that her mother became badly ill last night, which contributed to her fault.（that引导宾语从句，which引导非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
