B Much of Puerto Rico is still without power after Hurricane Fiona struck the island on Sept. 19. The storm laid it in darkness and thousands of people in trouble, even some missing. Yet some see signs of hope. Over the past five years, around 50,000 solar and battery power systems have been installed on homes in Puerto Rico, says Chris Rauscher, senior director of public policy at Sunrun, the biggest residential solar company in the United States. And almost all that equipment appears to have continued supplying electricity while the island’s central power system went dark, according to market participants and industry observers. Climate change is making hurricanes wetter and more powerful, increasing the risks to electric reliability in places like Puerto Rico. That strengthens the case for more investment in home solar set-ups, Rauscher says. “It’s showing that renewables paired with storage ... are really the fundamental building blocks of a clean recovery that we need to really focus on on the island and elsewhere,” he says. John Berger, chief manager of Sunnova, another big solar company, agrees, calling Puerto Rico “a window into the future.” “The technology’s just physically and fundamentally better,” than the traditional power system, Berger says. “And that’s not going to change.” But big challenges are still hanging over the island. Lots of reconstruction is still needed. And now on top of that, the hurricane season is not over yet. “The next storm after this — and it will come, I don’t know if it’s next week or next year or two years from now, but it will come — we’ll be in even better shape than we are right now,” Berger says. 4. What did the Hurricane Fiona result in? A. The newly-built island’s central power system. B. Power failure in much of Puerto Rico. C. The loss of thousands of people. D. Losing eyesight of some people. 5. Why is John Berger mentioned by the author? A. To make the point convincing. B. To give more choices for the islanders. C. To state the status of Puerto Rico. D. To make comparisons between the two companies. 6. What is the top challenge of Puerto Rico now? A. The reconstruction work. B. The coming hurricane. C. The shortage of money. D. The need for a safe shelter. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A Severe Hurricane B. Natural Disasters Are Approaching C. Renewable Energy Give Puerto Rico Light D. A Newly-rebuilt Island C Plant-based products have been breaking into the foodie mainstream in the United States, after years in which vegan (素食的) burgers and milk alternatives knocked on the market’s door. That is partly because more companies are targeting people who seek to reduce the amount of meat they eat, rather than forswear it altogether. Now, as fish alternatives begin to attract investment and land at restaurants in the United States and beyond, people who track the fishless fish sector say that it could achieve significant growth. One reason, they say, is that consumers in rich countries are becoming more aware of the seafood industry’s environmental problems, including overfishing and the health risks of some seafood. Another is that today’s plant-based companies do a better job of approaching fish flavor than earlier ones did—an important consideration for non-vegetarians (非素食者). “There are a number of people already looking at alternative hamburgers,” said Joshua Katz, an analyst at the consulting firm McKinsey who has studied the alt-protein (替代蛋白) industry. “You might actually say, ‘I should work on something else.’ And seafood is still a massive market with convincing reasons to work on.” People who reduce their consumption of animal proteins for environmental reasons often stop eating red meat, which requires enormous amounts of land and water to farm. But alt-fish advocates say that seafood also comes with environmental problems. Unsustainable fishing practices have destroyed fisheries (鱼汤) in recent decades, a problem both for biodiversity and the millions of people who depend on the sea for income and food. “It’s simply a smarter way to make seafood” says Mirte Gosker, the acting managing director of the Good Food Institute Asia-Pacific, a nonprofit advocacy group that promotes alternative proteins. “Full stop.” So far plant-based seafood products in the United States account for only 0.1 percent of the country’s seafood sales, less than 1.4 percent of the U.S. meat market occupied by plant-based meat alternatives. But alt-seafood enterprises worldwide received at least $83 million from investors in 2020, compared with $1 million three years earlier. As of this June, 83 companies were producing alt-seafood products around the world, a nearly threefold rise since 2017. All but 18 of those 83 companies focus on plant-based products. A dozen others are developing lab-grown seafood, which is not yet commercially available in any country. 8. What does the underlined word “forswear” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Sample. B. Consume. C. Produce. D. Abandon. 9. Which aspect of seafood do non-vegetarians focus on? A. The health risks. B. The protein intake. C. The taste and mouthfeel. D. The overfishing problem. 10. What is Mirte Gosker’s tone when he says “Full stop” in paragraph 6? A. Determined. B. Concerned. C. Humorous. D. Enthusiastic. 11. What do the figures in the last paragraph mainly show? A. Seafood companies are struggling. B. Plant-based meat products will be a trend. C. Alt-seafood products have a promising future. D. Seafood will be commercially available soon. D Different ways have been applied to dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some people put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers (包装纸). While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use. The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is focused on environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advises readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants. This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most famous advertising companies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative (倡议). The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US. About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly. However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence. 12. Why was the Green Newspaper invented? A. To get newspapers cheaper. B. To make the most of waste paper. C. To improve the printing. D. To advertise the publishing company. 13. What can be learned about the “Green Newspaper”? A. It uses high-tech materials. B. It provides energy for seeds. C. It’s printed with plant-based ink. D. It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day. 14. What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey? A. It’s easier said than done. B. Everything comes to one who waits. C. Many hands make light work. D. Actions speak louder than words. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. About 59 million trees are lost for producing newspapers. B. The Internet has changed the way people read news totally. C. The popularity of the Internet leads to the fall of the print readership. D. The “Green Newspaper” will encourage more people to protect the environment. 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。 (如果所用的答题卡没有E、F、G选项，则选E涂A、B，选F涂A、C，选G涂A、D。) There you were, sitting in a classroom, practicing writing letters and words. Maybe you were printing (手写印剧字体) them, or maybe you were learning cursive (草体). At some point, you probably asked yourself, “Why do I need to know how to write when all 1 need is to press the keys on a computer?” ___16___ It also helps you remember the information that you write down. ___17___ Actually, beginner printing is usually very messy, and sometimes we cannot even tell what the letters are. Also, the shape of each letter can change each time a child tries to write it. But remember that every time a child sees a letter that looks a little different but still has the same name, it helps the child’s brain to learn that letter. Research has also shown that if you wrote something by hand, you would remember it better than if you typed it on your computer! Why does this happen? ___18___ But speed may be the problem! When we type information, we tend to type exactly what the teacher is saying. Without thinking about it. Writing by hand takes longer, so we cannot record everything the teacher says. When writing, we tend to put things into our own words or summarize what the teacher says. ___19___ In summary, writing by hand can help you learn new things like letters, but it also allows you to remember information better than if you typed it. It does not matter how you write—printing, cursive, abbreviations (宿写).___20___ So, keep writing! A. That makes things a lot easier. B. It just matters that you write by hand. C. Surely it is quicker to type during a lecture than to write, right? D. What did your printing look like when you first started to write? E. In a way, taking notes by hand is a way of studying while we are learning! F. Well, in short, writing by hand helps you learn a set of symbols more easily. G. When people write letters, they actively see and feel the letters being written. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题； 每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 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。 I spent all of my 30s saying yes.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes... but I don’t have money on me...” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 祥云祥华中学2024-2025学年上学期期中考试 高二英语测试卷 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）。共4页。考试结束，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第Ⅰ卷 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. 选出每小题答案后，用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。不能答在本试卷上，否则无效。 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。 1.

The storm laid it in darkness and thousands of people in trouble, even some missing. Yet some see signs of hope. Over the past five years, around 50,000 solar and battery power systems have been installed on homes in Puerto Rico, says Chris Rauscher, senior director of public policy at Sunrun, the biggest residential solar company in the United States. And almost all that equipment appears to have continued supplying electricity while the island’s central power system went dark, according to market participants and industry observers. Climate change is making hurricanes wetter and more powerful, increasing the risks to electric reliability in places like Puerto Rico. That strengthens the case for more investment in home solar set-ups, Rauscher says. “It’s showing that renewables paired with storage ... are really the fundamental building blocks of a clean recovery that we need to really focus on on the island and elsewhere,” he says. John Berger, chief manager of Sunnova, another big solar company, agrees, calling Puerto Rico “a window into the future.” “The technology’s just physically and fundamentally better,” than the traditional power system, Berger says. “And that’s not going to change.” But big challenges are still hanging over the island. Lots of reconstruction is still needed. And now on top of that, the hurricane season is not over yet. “The next storm after this — and it will come, I don’t know if it’s next week or next year or two years from now, but it will come — we’ll be in even better shape than we are right now,” Berger says. 4. What did the Hurricane Fiona result in? A. The newly-built island’s central power system. B. Power failure in much of Puerto Rico. C. The loss of thousands of people. D. Losing eyesight of some people. 5. Why is John Berger mentioned by the author? A. To make the point convincing. B. To give more choices for the islanders. C. To state the status of Puerto Rico. D. To make comparisons between the two companies. 6. What is the top challenge of Puerto Rico now? A. The reconstruction work. B. The coming hurricane. C. The shortage of money. D. The need for a safe shelter. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A Severe Hurricane B. Natural Disasters Are Approaching C. Renewable Energy Give Puerto Rico Light D. A Newly-rebuilt Island 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Puerto Rico遭台风袭击后对能源的思考与解决。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话“The storm laid it in darkness and thousands of people in trouble, even some missing.(风暴使它陷入黑暗，成千上万的人陷入困境，甚至有些人失踪)”可知，Puerto Rico遭台风袭击后出现电力故障。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““It’s showing that renewables paired with storage ... are really the fundamental building blocks of a clean recovery that we need to really focus on on the island and elsewhere,” he says.(他说：“这表明，可再生能源与储存相结合……确实是清洁复苏的基本组成部分，我们需要在岛上和其他地方真正关注这一点。”)”以及第五段第一句话“John Berger, chief manager of Sunnova, another big solar company, agrees, calling Puerto Rico “a window into the future.” (另一家大型太阳能公司Sunnova的首席经理John Berger对此表示赞同，称波多黎各是“通往未来的窗口”。)”可知，John Berger同意前面提到的“再生能源与储存相结合是清洁能源复苏的基本组成部分。”的这个观点。由此可推知，文章提到John Berger是为了让文章提出的观点更有说服力。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句话“And now on top of that, the hurricane season is not over yet. (除此之外，飓风季节还没有结束)”可知， 最大的挑战是台风季节并没过去，也就是说，随时到来的台风是最大的挑战。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知本文主要介绍了Puerto Rico遭台风袭击后对能源的思考与解决，太阳能将会为其带来曙光，C项“可再生能源给Rico带来曙光”适合做文章标题。故选C。 C Plant-based products have been breaking into the foodie mainstream in the United States, after years in which vegan (素食的) burgers and milk alternatives knocked on the market’s door. That is partly because more companies are targeting people who seek to reduce the amount of meat they eat, rather than forswear it altogether. Now, as fish alternatives begin to attract investment and land at restaurants in the United States and beyond, people who track the fishless fish sector say that it could achieve significant growth. One reason, they say, is that consumers in rich countries are becoming more aware of the seafood industry’s environmental problems, including overfishing and the health risks of some seafood. Another is that today’s plant-based companies do a better job of approaching fish flavor than earlier ones did—an important consideration for non-vegetarians (非素食者). “There are a number of people already looking at alternative hamburgers,” said Joshua Katz, an analyst at the consulting firm McKinsey who has studied the alt-protein (替代蛋白) industry. “You might actually say, ‘I should work on something else.’ And seafood is still a massive market with convincing reasons to work on.” People who reduce their consumption of animal proteins for environmental reasons often stop eating red meat, which requires enormous amounts of land and water to farm. But alt-fish advocates say that seafood also comes with environmental problems. Unsustainable fishing practices have destroyed fisheries (鱼汤) in recent decades, a problem both for biodiversity and the millions of people who depend on the sea for income and food. “It’s simply a smarter way to make seafood,” says Mirte Gosker, the acting managing director of the Good Food Institute Asia-Pacific, a nonprofit advocacy group that promotes alternative proteins. “Full stop.” So far plant-based seafood products in the United States account for only 0.1 percent of the country’s seafood sales, less than 1.4 percent of the U.S. meat market occupied by plant-based meat alternatives. But alt-seafood enterprises worldwide received at least $83 million from investors in 2020, compared with $1 million three years earlier. As of this June, 83 companies were producing alt-seafood products around the world, a nearly threefold rise since 2017. All but 18 of those 83 companies focus on plant-based products. A dozen others are developing lab-grown seafood, which is not yet commercially available in any country. 8. What does the underlined word “forswear” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Sample. B. Consume. C. Produce. D. Abandon. 9. Which aspect of seafood do non-vegetarians focus on? A. The health risks. B. The protein intake. C. The taste and mouthfeel. D. The overfishing problem. 10. What is Mirte Gosker’s tone when he says “Full stop” in paragraph 6? A. Determined. B. Concerned. C. Humorous. D. Enthusiastic. 11. What do the figures in the last paragraph mainly show? A Seafood companies are struggling. B. Plant-based meat products will be a trend. C. Alt-seafood products have a promising future. D. Seafood will be commercially available soon. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了植物性产品已成为美国素食家的主流食物替代品，逐渐敲开了市场的大门。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子“That is partly because more companies are targeting people who seek to reduce the amount of meat they eat, rather than forswear it altogether. (这在一定程度上是因为越来越多的公司瞄准了那些试图减少肉类摄入量的人，而不是完全____肉类)”可知此处划线单词和前面的动词reduce相呼应，表示肉类的摄入是减少而不是“完全放弃”，因此第一段中带下划线的单词的意思是“D. Abandon放弃”，故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“Another is that today’s plant-based companies do a better job of approaching fish flavor than earlier ones did—an important consideration for non-vegetarians (非素食者). (另一个原因是，与早期相比，今天的植物性公司在接近鱼类风味方面做得更好，这是非素食者要考虑的一个重因素)”可知，非素食主义者关注海鲜的味道和口感方面。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。文章第四段讲到“People who reduce their consumption of animal proteins for environmental reasons often stop eating red meat, which requires enormous amounts of land and water to farm. (由于环境原因减少动物蛋白消费的人通常会停止食用红肉，因为红肉需要大量的土地和水来耕种。) ”以及第六段讲到“It’s simply a smarter way to make seafood (这只是一种更聪明的海鲜制作方法)”可知Mirte Gosker认为这种海鲜制作方法是可行的，因此第六段中说“到此为止，不必多说”时的语气是坚定的，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“As of this June, 83 companies were producing alt-seafood products around the world, a nearly threefold rise since 2017. All but 18 of those 83 companies focus on plant-based products. (截至今年6月，全球有83家公司生产另类海鲜产品，自2017年以来增长了近三倍。在这83家公司中，除18家外，其余都专注于植物性产品。)”可知，最后一段的数字主要表明了替代海鲜产品前景光明，故选C。 D Different ways have been applied to dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some people put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers (包装纸). While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use. The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is focused on environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advises readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants. This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most famous advertising companies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative (倡议). The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US. About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly. However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence. 12. Why was the Green Newspaper invented? A. To get newspapers cheaper. B. To make the most of waste paper. C. To improve the printing. D. To advertise the publishing company. 13. What can be learned about the “Green Newspaper”? A. It uses high-tech materials. B. It provides energy for seeds. C. It’s printed with plant-based ink. D. It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day. 14. What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey? A. It’s easier said than done. B. Everything comes to one who waits. C. Many hands make light work. D. Actions speak louder than words. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. About 59 million trees are lost for producing newspapers. B. The Internet has changed the way people read news totally. C. The popularity of the Internet leads to the fall of the print readership. D. The “Green Newspaper” will encourage more people to protect the environment. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了日本一家出版公司发明了“绿色报纸”，这种报纸可以种植植物，很好地解决了废报纸问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Different ways have been applied to dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers.(已经采用了不同的方法来处理废纸，特别是用过的报纸。)”“While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.(.虽然这些都是很好的措施，但一家日本出版公司对它们的最终用途有了更好的想法。)”和第二段中的“The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the ‘Green Newspaper’, which allows people to grow plants with it.(每日新闻社发明了‘绿色报纸’，人们可以用它来种植植物。)”可知，绿色报纸可以用来种，这可以解决报纸用完之后的处理问题，由此可推测出，发明绿色报纸是为了充分利用废报纸。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants.(更特别的是，用来印文字和照片的墨水是由植物制成的。)”可知，绿色报纸是用植物墨水印的。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As its mission statement says, ‘The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.’ With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily.(正如其使命声明所说，‘《每日新闻》不仅通过信息采取行动，还通过解决全球问题采取行动。’在共同努力下，这一举措已传播到日本的各个角落，每天售出约数百万份报纸。)”可知，《每日新闻》每天售出的绿色报纸传播到日本各地，用自己的实际行动来解决环保问题，所以他们的使命声明很好地表达了“行动胜于言语”的思想。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly.(互联网的用户数量占全球人口的62.5%，它影响了人们阅读新闻的方式，印刷品读者数量也大幅下降。)”可知，互联网改变了人们阅读新闻的方式，导致印刷品读者大幅下降。故选C。 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。 (如果所用的答题卡没有E、F、G选项，则选E涂A、B，选F涂A、C，选G涂A、D。) There you were, sitting in a classroom, practicing writing letters and words. Maybe you were printing (手写印剧字体) them, or maybe you were learning cursive (草体). At some point, you probably asked yourself, “Why do I need to know how to write when all 1 need is to press the keys on a computer?” ___16___ It also helps you remember the information that you write down. ___17___ Actually, beginner printing is usually very messy, and sometimes we cannot even tell what the letters are. Also, the shape of each letter can change each time a child tries to write it. But remember that every time a child sees a letter that looks a little different but still has the same name, it helps the child’s brain to learn that letter. Research has also shown that if you wrote something by hand, you would remember it better than if you typed it on your computer! Why does this happen? ___18___ But speed may be the problem! When we type information, we tend to type exactly what the teacher is saying. Without thinking about it. Writing by hand takes longer, so we cannot record everything the teacher says. When writing, we tend to put things into our own words or summarize what the teacher says. ___19___ In summary, writing by hand can help you learn new things like letters, but it also allows you to remember information better than if you typed it. It does not matter how you write—printing, cursive, abbreviations (宿写).___20___ So, keep writing! A. That makes things a lot easier. B. It just matters that you write by hand. C. Surely it is quicker to type during a lecture than to write, right? D. What did your printing look like when you first started to write? E. In a way, taking notes by hand is a way of studying while we are learning! F. Well, in short, writing by hand helps you learn a set of symbols more easily. G. When people write letters, they actively see and feel the letters being written. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. C 19. E 20.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes... but I don’t have money on me...” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother, drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. “Where could my mother be?” she wondered, “Was she still angry with me?” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks. A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’s arms. “Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled, patting her back gently. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jenny与母亲吵架而离家出走，在感到饥饿而没钱吃饭的时候，一个商贩给了她一碗面条，Jenny非常感动，觉得自己母亲非常的无情不关心她，而商贩的话让Jenny觉得自己对母亲太粗鲁了，于是下定决心回家向母亲道歉的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“快到门口时，Jenny深吸了一口气。”可知，第一段可描写Jenny回家后的心理活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“她的头发被轻轻地碰了一下，她的思绪又回来了。”可知，第二段可描写Jenny给妈妈道歉，母女俩和好的过程。 2. 续写线索：感到疲惫和伤心——想起争吵的场景——意识到妈妈在乎自己——感到惭愧——看见妈妈——扑进妈妈怀里——道歉和感谢——妈妈原谅Jenny 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①出现在脑海：appeared in her mind /come to one’s mind/cross one’s mind ②流下：roll down/stream down ③表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①难过的：sad/upset ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house.（运用了形容词短语作状语） 【高分句型2】Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.（运用了现在分词短语作状语、宾语从句和同位语从句） 【高分句型3】Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me. （运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
