B At 11:45 pm on March 19, Vinod Kapri, a former TV journalist and award-winning filmmaker, was returning home from a dinner. As he was driving along Golf Course Road in the northern Indian city of Noida, near New Delhi, he spotted a kid racing along in the dead of night. Kapri was alarmed at first—it was late and he was running so fast. So he slowed down and opened a window. The boy turned out to be 19-year-old Pradeep Mehra, who had just finished his work at McDonald’s and was returning home. Once it was evident that nothing was wrong, Kapri offered to drop the teen home, but Mehra politely turned him down and, without missing a beat, kept on running. Surprised by his refusal. Kapri took out his cellphone and started filming their conversation because he could tell that there must be a story behind the midnight run. Mehra explained that he fell into the habit of running at midnight to keep fit so that he could achieve his dream of joining the army to serve his country. Kapri said the conversation left him deeply in awe of young Pradeep Mehra. When asked if his regular midnight run was ever disturbed by cars, Mehra said, “I haven’t had too much of a problem with cars. But people are a different story! My midnight running habit does make people curious. Many have stopped to ask me why I run at this time of night, while others have made fun of me. There’s a lot of sarcasm (讥讽) too—I am warned that running like this will only get me chased by dogs. No matter what others say, I just smile at them. I’ve always believed that hard work has its own rewards, and that one day, I will reach my goal and succeed.” Kapri came to help but instead left inspired. After asking permission to post the video, Kapri uploaded the recording, a little over 2 minutes, to his Twitter account. Kapri’s ending caption—“Run Pradeep run, to your brighter destiny”—touched many viewers. 4. Why did Kapri chat with Mehra at first? A. He was eager to give Mehra a ride back home. B. He had a desire to film the story behind Mehra. C. He thought the boy encountered some difficulties. D. He aimed to warn Mehra of the dangers of running fast. 5. What do we know about Mehra’s regular midnight run? A. It encouraged others to run with him. B. It frequently affected Mehra’s part-time job. C. It sometimes interrupted the steady flow of traffic. D. It received some unpleasant attention from passers-by. 6. Which of the following can best describe Mehra? A Strict and honest. B. Brave and outgoing. C. Adventurous and innovative. D. Devoted and determined. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Nightly midnight run by an Indian teen B. The story about a chance encounter C. A special bond with a running boy D. The wide spread of a recording C Sixty-six years ago, there was only one human-built object in Earth’s orbit (天体轨道). It was the world’s first satellite. Try to guess how many human-made objects are circling the planet now. Ready? Your answer is wrong, unless you guessed 100 trillion (万亿). That’s a jaw-dropping number. For years, the junk has formed an ever-growing mass near the Earth. The researchers are calling for a global agreement to limit the number of satellites and the amount of rubbish in space. There are 9,000 active satellites in orbit. That could grow to more than 60,000 by 2030. The rest of that 100 trillion figure includes debris—everything from old rockets to accidentally dropped tools, and even paint chips (碎片). Don’t think a paint chip is harmless. Traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, it can strike a spacecraft hard; causing dents (凹痕) and holes. All of the debris will eventually fall to the Earth and burn up in the atmosphere. But we’re replacing the junk more quickly than its falling. Heather Koldewey, an ocean biologist, says, “Cleaning up space has a lot in common with the challenges of addressing environmental issues in the ocean.” Heather and her coauthors see hope for space. They look to the effort to clean up the oceans. In March 2022, nearly 200 countries signed a global plastics treaty at the United Nations. This is an agreement to throw less plastic in the ocean and deal with what’s already there. There could be similar rules for how much debris a launch (发射) can create. And technologies could be developed for cleaning up the rubbish. Years ago, scientists on the International Space Station tested the Remove Debris satellite. Tracking the location and speed of floating debris, it used a net to catch the junk, which fell and burned up in the Earth’s atmosphere. The test was a success. It may have brought the world a step closer to a safer orbit. 8. What does the underlined word “jaw-dropping” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Correct. B. Specific. C. Shocking. D. Declining. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The makeup of space debris. B. The whole description of space scenery. C. The reasons for dealing with space junk. D. The number of satellites circling the Earth. 10. Why does the author mention plastic pollution in the ocean? A. To compare the junk in space with that in the ocean. B To prove space debris could eventually reach Earth’s oceans. C. To show the space cleanup can be inspired by the ocean cleanup. D. To argue that the ocean cleanup is harder than the space cleanup. 11. What do we know about the Remove Debris satellite? A. It indicated the possibility of reducing space debris. B. It provided data on the size and speed of space debris. C. It effectively removed a good deal of space debris from orbit. D. It encouraged international cooperation on launching satellites. D If you’ve never heard of a biophilic city (亲自然城市) before, you probably will soon — there’s a growing movement emerging globally. A biophilic city is a city where the planning and design largely integrate the natural world into the daily lives of residents. It’s based on the idea that humans have a deep love for nature and desire to connect with nature. “We describe the vision of biophilic cities as immersive (沉浸式的) nature — nature is not just something to be found in a park here and there that you have to walk to, but rather we need to reimagine the city as a park, or as a forest,” says Tim Beatley, a professor of sustainable communities. “There is a renewed (更新的) appreciation for how essential nature is in cities and how it can help to make them more beautiful places,” Beatley says. “We know, for instance, that cities face great pressures from climate change — a key response must be nature and nature-based solutions, such as cooling cities with trees and urban forests.” Beatley’s colleague, Peter Newman, a professor of sustainability, says he has devoted nearly 50 years to activism, research and teaching how to make cities more sustainable. He made a film with Beatley, called “Singapore: Biophilic City”. Singapore is seen as an exceptional biophilic city. “In our film we show how biophilic values began with the first Prime Minister of Singapore saying that the environment in the city was as important as the economy,” says Newman, who got the idea of making the film after he spent some time in Singapore teaching a course. “Singapore is one of the best examples in showing that you can accommodate city development and population growth and also actually protect nature as well,” says Newman. Greenery is woven throughout the city, not only in many parks, but integrated even into the design of tall buildings. “Singapore has now officially changed its motto from ‘Singapore, Garden City’ to ‘Singapore, a City in a Garden’,” says Beatley. 12. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? A. To explain a concept. B. To put forward an idea. C. To provide an example. D. To introduce a general rule. 13. What can we infer from Beatley’s words in Paragraph 3? A. Parks in cities need to be renewed. B. Biophilic cities face many problems. C. It is difficult to imagine a city as a park. D. Nature should be a key factor in city planning. 14. What does Newman’s film mainly focus on? A. The unforgettable experience in Singapore. B. The rise of tall green buildings in Singapore. C. Why Singapore chooses to be a biophilic city. D. How Singapore balances the economy and the environment. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A. Singapore: a garden city B. Turning cities into gardens C. The future of biophilic cities D. Nature: a solution to climate change 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。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. ____16____ And this positive emotion can be good for our health — our emotional and physical health, as well as the health of our relationships. Let’s start by looking at the mental health benefits of expressing gratitude. There have been many studies showing that writing a gratitude letter to another person improves mental health. One reason for this is that gratitude stops us from thinking about negative emotions over and over again. ____17____ But even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life. ____18____As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positıve, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive (直觉的). And so, the more we express gratitude, the more positive we feel. ____19____There are studies linking a gratitude practice to better sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced inflammation (炎症) in people who have had heart problems. So gratitude is clearly good for us but is it also good for the people in our lives? The simple answer is yes. Gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. ____20____ And that’s on top of all the other ways — be it with family, partners, friends or even colleges. Maybe we should all stop counting sheep or counting calories and start counting our blessings instead. A. And this gets better with time. B. Gratitude appears to have a lasting effect. C. Gratitude can also make us feel good in our bodies. D. Feeling valued can help build stronger relationships. E. People who regularly express gratitude are more patient. F. It redirects our attention so that we focus on positive emotions. G. It is a deeper appreciation for someone or something that makes us feel a positive emotion. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Sam Delauter owns Sunrise Diner in Ocean City, Maryland.

For the first week or so, I was so uncomfortable that I did nothing but sleep. As I started feeling better, I wanted to keep engaged. I read too quickly for my mom to keep me in books and wasn’t really interested in television either, so my mom was desperate（绝望的）. One day, she accidentally hit on one of the most popular trends of the time: making bead（珠子）animals. She bought me a lot of silk thread（丝线）, a big bag of beads in every color of the rainbow, and a book that taught me how to make all different types of animals. I got the hang of it quickly, and enjoyed making bead animals, such as snakes, rabbits and turtles. One morning, one of the nurses came in, saw me working on a beaded keychain, and praised it warmly as cute. She was one of my favorite nurses, so I offered her one. and she quickly attached the keychain to her ID badge（徽章）. An elder nurse asked for one, so I gave her one, too, and then my doctor… and then it seemed like everyone wanted one! I started spending most of my time making them. My mother felt bad that it was turning from a hobby into a burden（负担）, but I truly enjoyed it and wanted to make something for everybody who’d been so nice to me when I was sick. The nurses proudly wore them on their badges, which not only made me smile but also made the other patients smile. Joy was brought into the wards（病房）, making us more cheerful. The head nurse also received such a gift and she appreciated it so much. She told me the children in other wards kept asking her where she got it. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Her words reminded me that I could do something. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day came for me to give gifts to the children in the wards. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度第一学期教学质量检测 高二英语试题 2024.11 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。满分150分，考试用时120分钟。考试结束后，将本试卷和答案卡一并交回。 注意事项： 1. 答第Ⅰ卷前考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 选出每小题答案前，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，再选涂其他答案标号。所有试题的答案，写在答题卡上，不能答在本试卷上，否则无效。 第Ⅰ卷（共95分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

As he was driving along Golf Course Road in the northern Indian city of Noida, near New Delhi, he spotted a kid racing along in the dead of night. Kapri was alarmed at first—it was late and he was running so fast. So he slowed down and opened a window. The boy turned out to be 19-year-old Pradeep Mehra, who had just finished his work at McDonald’s and was returning home. Once it was evident that nothing was wrong, Kapri offered to drop the teen home, but Mehra politely turned him down and, without missing a beat, kept on running. Surprised by his refusal. Kapri took out his cellphone and started filming their conversation because he could tell that there must be a story behind the midnight run. Mehra explained that he fell into the habit of running at midnight to keep fit so that he could achieve his dream of joining the army to serve his country. Kapri said the conversation left him deeply in awe of young Pradeep Mehra. When asked if his regular midnight run was ever disturbed by cars, Mehra said, “I haven’t had too much of a problem with cars. But people are a different story! My midnight running habit does make people curious. Many have stopped to ask me why I run at this time of night, while others have made fun of me. There’s a lot of sarcasm (讥讽) too—I am warned that running like this will only get me chased by dogs. No matter what others say, I just smile at them. I’ve always believed that hard work has its own rewards, and that one day, I will reach my goal and succeed.” Kapri came to help but instead left inspired. After asking permission to post the video, Kapri uploaded the recording, a little over 2 minutes, to his Twitter account. Kapri’s ending caption—“Run Pradeep run, to your brighter destiny”—touched many viewers. 4. Why did Kapri chat with Mehra at first? A. He was eager to give Mehra a ride back home. B.

It was the world’s first satellite. Try to guess how many human-made objects are circling the planet now. Ready? Your answer is wrong, unless you guessed 100 trillion (万亿). That’s a jaw-dropping number. For years, the junk has formed an ever-growing mass near the Earth. The researchers are calling for a global agreement to limit the number of satellites and the amount of rubbish in space. There are 9,000 active satellites in orbit. That could grow to more than 60,000 by 2030. The rest of that 100 trillion figure includes debris—everything from old rockets to accidentally dropped tools, and even paint chips (碎片). Don’t think a paint chip is harmless. Traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, it can strike a spacecraft hard; causing dents (凹痕) and holes. All of the debris will eventually fall to the Earth and burn up in the atmosphere. But we’re replacing the junk more quickly than its falling. Heather Koldewey, an ocean biologist, says, “Cleaning up space has a lot in common with the challenges of addressing environmental issues in the ocean.” Heather and her coauthors see hope for space. They look to the effort to clean up the oceans. In March 2022, nearly 200 countries signed a global plastics treaty at the United Nations. This is an agreement to throw less plastic in the ocean and deal with what’s already there. There could be similar rules for how much debris a launch (发射) can create. And technologies could be developed for cleaning up the rubbish. Years ago, scientists on the International Space Station tested the Remove Debris satellite. Tracking the location and speed of floating debris, it used a net to catch the junk, which fell and burned up in the Earth’s atmosphere. The test was a success. It may have brought the world a step closer to a safer orbit. 8. What does the underlined word “jaw-dropping” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Correct. B. Specific. C. Shocking. D. Declining. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The makeup of space debris. B. The whole description of space scenery. C. The reasons for dealing with space junk. D. The number of satellites circling the Earth. 10. Why does the author mention plastic pollution in the ocean? A. To compare the junk in space with that in the ocean. B. To prove space debris could eventually reach Earth’s oceans. C. To show the space cleanup can be inspired by the ocean cleanup. D. To argue that the ocean cleanup is harder than the space cleanup. 11. What do we know about the Remove Debris satellite? A. It indicated the possibility of reducing space debris. B. It provided data on the size and speed of space debris. C. It effectively removed a good deal of space debris from orbit. D. It encouraged international cooperation on launching satellites. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了随着绕地球运行物体的增加，太空垃圾越来越多，我们应该重视这个问题并采取办法解决。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线单词上句“Your answer is wrong, unless you guessed 100 trillion (万亿). (除非你猜对了100万亿，否则你的答案是错误的。)”可知，现在有约100万亿人造物体在绕地球运行，这是一个令人震惊的数字，由此可知，画线单词所在句指这是一个令人震惊的数字，“Shocking”意为“令人震惊的”，能够表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选C项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段关键句“The rest of that 100 trillion figure includes debris—everything from old rockets to accidentally dropped tools, and even paint chips (碎片). Don’t think a paint chip is harmless. Traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, it can strike a spacecraft hard; causing dents (凹痕) and holes. All of the debris will eventually fall to the Earth and burn up in the atmosphere. (这100万亿中的其余部分包括碎片——从旧火箭到意外掉落的工具，甚至是油漆碎片。不要以为油漆碎片是无害的。它以每小时17500英里的速度飞行，可以猛烈撞击航天器；导致凹痕和孔洞。所有的碎片最终都会落到地球上，并在大气层中燃烧。)”可知，本段内容告诉我们油漆碎片等太空垃圾是有害的，例如它们可以猛烈撞击航天器；导致凹痕和孔洞，我们需要合理地处理它们，由此可知，第3段的主要内容是告诉我们处理太空垃圾的原因。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Heather Koldewey, an ocean biologist, says, “Cleaning up space has a lot in common with the challenges of addressing environmental issues in the ocean.”(海洋生物学家Heather Koldewey说：“清理太空与解决海洋环境问题的挑战有很多共同之处。”)”和“This is an agreement to throw less plastic in the ocean and deal with what’s already there. There could be similar rules for how much debris a launch (发射) can create. (这是一项减少向海洋中丢弃塑料并处理现有塑料的协议。对于一次发射会产生多少碎片，可能也有类似的规则。)”可知，清理太空与解决海洋环境问题的挑战有很多共同之处，太空清理可以从海洋清理中获得灵感，由此可知，作者提到海洋中的塑料污染是为了展示太空清理可以从海洋清理中获得灵感。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“Tracking the location and speed of floating debris, it used a net to catch the junk, which fell and burned up in the Earth’s atmosphere. The test was a success. It may have brought the world a step closer to a safer orbit. (通过追踪漂浮碎片的位置和速度，它使用了一张网来捕捉落下并在地球大气层中燃烧的垃圾。测试成功了。它可能使世界更接近一个更安全的轨道。)”可知，“清除碎片”卫星试成功捕捉落下并在地球大气层中燃烧的垃圾，这项成功说明我们可以减少太空碎片，由此可知，“清除碎片”卫星表明了减少太空碎片的可能性。故选A项。 D If you’ve never heard of a biophilic city (亲自然城市) before, you probably will soon — there’s a growing movement emerging globally. A biophilic city is a city where the planning and design largely integrate the natural world into the daily lives of residents. It’s based on the idea that humans have a deep love for nature and desire to connect with nature. “We describe the vision of biophilic cities as immersive (沉浸式的) nature — nature is not just something to be found in a park here and there that you have to walk to, but rather we need to reimagine the city as a park, or as a forest,” says Tim Beatley, a professor of sustainable communities. “There is a renewed (更新的) appreciation for how essential nature is in cities and how it can help to make them more beautiful places,” Beatley says. “We know, for instance, that cities face great pressures from climate change — a key response must be nature and nature-based solutions, such as cooling cities with trees and urban forests.” Beatley’s colleague, Peter Newman, a professor of sustainability, says he has devoted nearly 50 years to activism, research and teaching how to make cities more sustainable. He made a film with Beatley, called “Singapore: Biophilic City”. Singapore is seen as an exceptional biophilic city. “In our film we show how biophilic values began with the first Prime Minister of Singapore saying that the environment in the city was as important as the economy,” says Newman, who got the idea of making the film after he spent some time in Singapore teaching a course. “Singapore is one of the best examples in showing that you can accommodate city development and population growth and also actually protect nature as well,” says Newman. Greenery is woven throughout the city, not only in many parks, but integrated even into the design of tall buildings. “Singapore has now officially changed its motto from ‘Singapore, Garden City’ to ‘Singapore, a City in a Garden’,” says Beatley. 12. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? A. To explain a concept. B. To put forward an idea. C. To provide an example. D. To introduce a general rule. 13. What can we infer from Beatley’s words in Paragraph 3? A. Parks in cities need to be renewed. B. Biophilic cities face many problems. C. It is difficult to imagine a city as a park. D. Nature should be a key factor in city planning. 14. What does Newman’s film mainly focus on? A. The unforgettable experience in Singapore. B. The rise of tall green buildings in Singapore. C. Why Singapore chooses to be a biophilic city. D. How Singapore balances the economy and the environment. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A. Singapore: a garden city B. Turning cities into gardens C. The future of biophilic cities D. Nature: a solution to climate change 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了亲自然城市的理念，并以新加坡为例证明了城市发展和环境保护可以共生。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A biophilic city is a city where the planning and design largely integrate the natural world into the daily lives of residents. It’s based on the idea that humans have a deep love for nature and desire to connect with nature.”（亲生态城市是指城市的规划和设计在很大程度上将自然世界融入到居民的日常生活中。它基于人类对自然的热爱和与自然联系的渴望。）可推知，在第二段中作者打算解释一个概念。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““We describe the vision of biophilic cities as immersive (沉浸式的) nature — nature is not just something to be found in a park here and there that you have to walk to, but rather we need to reimagine the city as a park, or as a forest,” says Tim Beatley, a professor of sustainable communities. “There is a renewed (更新的) appreciation for how essential nature is in cities and how it can help to make them more beautiful places,” Beatley says.”（ 可持续发展社区教授蒂姆·比特利说：“我们把亲生物城市的愿景描述为沉浸式的自然——自然不仅仅是你必须步行去的某个公园里的东西，而是我们需要把城市重新想象成一个公园，或者一个森林。”比特利说：“人们重新认识到自然在城市中的重要性，以及它如何帮助城市变得更美丽。”）可知，从第三段比特利的话中我们可以推断出自然应该是城市规划的一个关键因素。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In our film we show how biophilic values began with the first Prime Minister of Singapore saying that the environment in the city was as important as the economy”（在我们的电影中，我们展示了亲生态价值观是如何开始的，新加坡的第一任总理说，城市的环境和经济一样重要）可知，纽曼的电影主要关注的是新加坡如何平衡经济和环境。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段““Singapore has now officially changed its motto from ‘Singapore, Garden City’ to ‘Singapore, a City in a Garden’,” says Beatley.”（比特利说：“新加坡现在已正式将其座右铭从‘花园城市新加坡’改为‘花园中的城市新加坡’。”）可知，本文主要介绍了亲自然城市的理念：在城市规划和设计中，最大程度上把自然融入到居民的日常生活中。故文章最好的标题是“把城市变成花园”。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。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us or given us a gift. ____16____ And this positive emotion can be good for our health — our emotional and physical health, as well as the health of our relationships. Let’s start by looking at the mental health benefits of expressing gratitude. There have been many studies showing that writing a gratitude letter to another person improves mental health. One reason for this is that gratitude stops us from thinking about negative emotions over and over again. ____17____ But even if we don’t share our writing with anyone, the act of completing the exercise alone makes us happier and more satisfied with life. ____18____As we are essentially training our brain to be more in tune with noticing the positıve, after several weeks or months, this becomes more intuitive (直觉的). And so, the more we express gratitude, the more positive we feel. ____19____There are studies linking a gratitude practice to better sleep quality, better eating habits, and reduced inflammation (炎症) in people who have had heart problems. So gratitude is clearly good for us, but is it also good for the people in our lives? The simple answer is yes. Gratitude is about feeling valued and helping others feel valued too. ____20____ And that’s on top of all the other ways — be it with family, partners, friends or even colleges.

For the first week or so, I was so uncomfortable that I did nothing but sleep. As I started feeling better, I wanted to keep engaged. I read too quickly for my mom to keep me in books and wasn’t really interested in television either, so my mom was desperate（绝望的）. One day, she accidentally hit on one of the most popular trends of the time: making bead（珠子）animals. She bought me a lot of silk thread（丝线）, a big bag of beads in every color of the rainbow, and a book that taught me how to make all different types of animals. I got the hang of it quickly, and enjoyed making bead animals, such as snakes, rabbits and turtles. One morning, one of the nurses came in, saw me working on a beaded keychain, and praised it warmly as cute. She was one of my favorite nurses, so I offered her one. and she quickly attached the keychain to her ID badge（徽章）. An elder nurse asked for one, so I gave her one, too, and then my doctor… and then it seemed like everyone wanted one! I started spending most of my time making them. My mother felt bad that it was turning from a hobby into a burden（负担）, but I truly enjoyed it and wanted to make something for everybody who’d been so nice to me when I was sick. The nurses proudly wore them on their badges, which not only made me smile but also made the other patients smile. Joy was brought into the wards（病房）, making us more cheerful. The head nurse also received such a gift and she appreciated it so much. She told me the children in other wards kept asking her where she got it. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Her words reminded me that I could do something. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day came for me to give gifts to the children in the wards. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Her words reminded me that I could do something. I realized that my bead animals could bring joy not just to the nurses but also to the other children in the hospital. Inspired, I decided to create beaded animals for everyone in the pediatric ward. I spent hours each day crafting vibrant, colorful creatures, from playful frogs to elegant swans, pouring my heart into each piece. My mom helped by gathering supplies and even rallied the staff to spread the word about my little project. The day came for me to give gifts to the children in the wards. Armed with a basket full of beaded animals, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as I entered the playroom. The children looked up, their faces lighting up with curiosity. I introduced myself and shared my story about making the keychains. One by one, I handed each child a beaded animal, watching their eyes widen in delight. Laughter filled the room as they admired their new treasures. In that moment, I realized that my illness had given me the opportunity to spread happiness, turning my difficult experience into something beautiful. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在医院度过了夏天，通过制作串珠钥匙扣保持活力，让护士们和其他病人感到快乐。作者决定为儿科病房的每个人制作串珠钥匙扣。这让作者能把自己的困难经历变成美好的事情，传播快乐。 详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她的话提醒我，我可以做点什么。”可知，第一段可描写作者决定为儿科病房里的每个人都设计一个串珠钥匙扣。 ②由第二段首句内容“这一天到了，我要给病房里的孩子们送礼物。”可知，第二段可描写作者给每一个孩子分发串珠钥匙扣的过程。 2.续写线索：护士长的话提醒了作者——决定为每个人做串珠钥匙扣——制作过程——给病房里的孩子们送礼物——分享了制作钥匙扣的故事——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realized/ was aware of ②.决定做某事：decided to do/was determined to do ③.欣赏：admired /appreciated 情绪类 ①快乐：joy /delight ②.紧张：nervousness/ tension 【点睛】[高分句型1].
