They do this by providing WiFi hotspot devices (for rent or purchase) that can be used on 6 different continents. About the WiFi devices The Pocket Travel WiFi devices are the size and shape of a small smartphone. The standard Hotspot Rental and the Sapphire 2 (for purchase) share a similar design with one mini-USB charging port. However, it’s important to note that these devices are not waterproof. When fully charged, they should last around 12 hours with fairly regular WiFi use. Additionally, the Sapphire 2 model features indicator lights displaying signal strength and battery life. Renting VS Buying the travel WiFi device The cost of purchasing a travel WiFi device is $89 — $109, and then you pay on top of that for data packages ($29.9 for 20 GB in a month). Most frequent travelers buy their own device for convenience. The rental price is based on the total number of days that you’ll keep the device and how much data you want to use each day. Daily rents range from $6.9 for 1 GB, $12.9 for 2 GB to $16.9 for 3 GB. Week pass ($45.9) with no data limit is also a good choice for short-term travelers. 1. What is an advantage of the travel WiFi device? A. It is resistant to water. B. It is quick to charge. C. It is convenient to carry. D. It is excellent in signal. 2. For a 7-day UK trip, what’s the minimum rent for a WiFi device? A. $6.9. B. $29.9. C. $45.9. D. $48.3. 3. Who is most likely to show interest in the device? A. A person who will travel abroad. B. A diver who is training off the coast. C. A student who likes surfing the Internet. D. A doctor who needs the latest information. B A mother, Carrie Cort, 51, from Sussex, and her nine-year-old son have been named the UK’s most environmentally friendly family after winning an award for their environmental achievements. Now every aspect of her life is environmentally friendly, from her son Adam’s birthday parties to her clothing, and she recycles everything from empty pens to milk bottle tops. “Changing our family lifestyle to green has saved us around ￡11,000 every year, which has given us more financial stability,” Carrie says. “Living green has made us healthier and I feel younger now. It is fun seeing what you can make with unwanted or broken things. Growing your own food is great exercise, good for wildlife, and the food is much more nutritious and tastier.” “My concern for the way we humans are treating the planet was really roused when Adam was born. When he arrived, I suddenly had this huge, greater awareness of the kind of planet we’re bringing our children into though I learnt something about it in university.” She began going to talks, reading books, watching documentaries and attending green meetings in order to educate herself in the details of green living. Carrie set up the local campaign group Sussex Green Living six years after her son’s birth. Later, she gave up her high-powered job, as she ran a video company with her brother, to do her job full-time. Today, she organizes talks and workshops. She runs a repair cafe, where people can bring everything to be fixed. Her recycling program helps people reuse wastes. Toothpaste tubes, for example, which Carrie sends to the Philippines, are turned into purses by an organization. “My goal is to inspire more people to lead greener, more environmentally friendly lives, to enable us to live in greater harmony with nature, now and for future organizations. I achieve this using various Sussex Green Living communication programs and working with other organizations who have the same goals and values.” 4. How did Carrie feel about her environmentally friendly lifestyle? A. Unwanted. B. Unhealthy. C. Expensive. D. Economical. 5. Which of the following is true about Carrie? A. She made good preparations for living green. B. She recycled what people ignored for fun. C. She does daily exercise by growing food. D. She majored in planet protection in university. 6. What does Carrie rely on to make her achievements? A. Her repair cafe and workshops. B. Her own programs and others’ work. C. Her well-paid job and her brother’s support. D. Her independence of realizing her green dream. 7. When did Carrie begin to form her environmentally friendly lifestyle? A. After winning an award. B. After giving birth to her son. C. After being stuck in poverty. D. After attending green meetings C Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health. Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.” Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth. Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging. Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature. 8. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear D. Uncaring. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening? A. It improves focus. B. It is a waste of time. C. It can keep a body in shape. D. It helps to reduce the risk of diseases. 10. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text? A. It contributes to creativity. B. It encourages problem-solving. C. It builds relationships between people. D. It improves people’s awareness of safety. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Start a Garden B. Choose a Garden or Not C. What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D. Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits D The farms of the future may look very different from that of today. That’s because farms do not have to be outside anymore. They also won’t have to be above ground. In London, 100 feet below the streets there was a huge empty space. Richard Ballard and Steven Dring, founders of the company Growing Underground, thought it would be an ideal spot to build a hydroponic (水栽的) farm. After all, these types of farms are doing well in other indoor spaces. Founded in 2015, Growing Underground’s farm grows microgreens and salad leaves using hydroponic technology that grows plants in water but not soil. In fact, the company said that its hydroponic technology allows for the perfect pest-free growing environment. These methods use about 70 percent water less than traditional field agriculture and all the nutrients are kept within a closed circle system. They can grow the greens all year round because they are not affected by weather or growing seasons. But it is the LED lighting system that is the key to growing food underground. Ballard said, “Already, LEDs allow the growers to change the flavor of the greens, as their sugars and starches develop differently under different light spectrums (光谱).” Right now, the company only sells greens with a lot of leaves because they are the only crops that grow fast enough to be economically feasible but Ballard believes that will change. “As technologies improve, you’ll see soft fruits, cucumbers, peppers,” he said. The company’s goal is to keep food local. They say that all of the greens can be in your kitchen within four hours of being picked. They currently sell to local restaurants in London, but they hope to be entering the local groceries soon. 12. What makes the underground farm possible? A. The rich soil. B. The great demand for fruits. C. The hydroponic technology. D. The good weather condition. 13. What is the function of the LED lighting system? A. To get rid of pests. B. To increase the temperature of underground farm. C. To allow greens to grow rapidly. D. To provide various light spectrums. 14. What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Difficult. B. Challenged. C. Impossible. D. Achievable. 15. What does the company expect of the underground farm? A. It’ll benefit more customers. B. It’ll be environment-friendly. C. It’ll keep food fresher for longer. D. It’ll use the latest technology. 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。 We all want to be successful. ____16____ We tend to focus directly on the end goals, failing to realize our big goals are not going to happen overnight.

He felt relieved that the shop hadn’t closed forever. Two days ago when he passed by, there was a closed sign on the door and a note saying Mrs. Carter was sick. Evan was worried that he would never be able to get his “dream job” if the shop remained closed for too long. Mrs. Carter, an 85-year-old woman, spotted Evan looking in her shop’s direction and waved hello to him. Excitedly, Evan ran up to her and expressed his desire to work at the shop. Mrs.Carter laughed quietly, finding it amusing that an eight-year-old wanted a job. Evan confidently explained that since his dad passed away, he had learned how to do various tasks, like taking out the rubbish, making sandwiches, and assisting his mom, Stacey, with groceries. He didn’t want any payment for his work; instead, he simply wanted a bouquet (花束) for his mom’ s upcoming birthday. He believed in working hard for what he wanted, just as his mom had taught him. Impressed by Evan’s determination, Mrs. Carter agreed to hire him. She asked if he knew how to tie ribbons around flowers, and when she heard Evan’s affirmative(肯定的) response, they got down to making bouquets. Evan was excited to assist Mrs. Carter every evening for a whole week, and his presence brought joy to her boring work.Customers found Evan adorable and entertaining, which resulted in increased flower purchases and booming business for Mrs. Carter. On Evan’s last day Mrs.Carter felt emotional. Their bond had grown strong, and she saw him as a grandchild. As she prepared a splendid bouquet for Evan’s mother, tears welled up in her eyes. She invited him to visit her shop in the future, and Evan promised to tell his mom about her. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 With the bouquet in hand, Evan rushed home to celebrate Mom’s birthday. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Evan handed his mom the bouquet, they were surprised to discover an envelope with several hundred-dollar bills inside. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度第一学期期中考试 高二英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，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，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，请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。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.

Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health. Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.” Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth. Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging. Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature. 8. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear D. Uncaring. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening? A. It improves focus. B. It is a waste of time. C. It can keep a body in shape. D. It helps to reduce the risk of diseases. 10. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text? A. It contributes to creativity. B. It encourages problem-solving. C. It builds relationships between people. D. It improves people’s awareness of safety. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Start a Garden B. Choose a Garden or Not C. What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D. Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述园艺活动有利于身体健康并分析了原因。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”(“像挖土，种植和收割这样的活动需要运动并能帮助我们改善体力” Clayton，一家网上草坪护理公司的CEO说，“经常进行这些活动可以帮助燃烧卡路里，保持一个健康的体重”)”可知，Clayton对园艺活动持支持的态度。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system(除了燃烧卡路里和锻炼肌肉，很多研究表明园艺看改善免疫系统)”以及第三句“Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease.(每周做150分钟的园艺工作能够减少患肥胖，高血压以及心脏病的风险)”可知，本段主要讲园艺活动有助于降低患病的风险。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.(园艺也为社会联系提供了机会。它可以是家庭成员，朋友或邻居之间的共同活动，从而建立关系和归属感)”可知，园艺活动对社交的影响是它可以建立人们间的关系。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health.Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.(长期以来，人们一直认为户外活动有利于身体健康。园艺不仅仅是美化室外空间——它还对我们的身心健康产生很深的影响)”可知，文章主要讲述进行园艺活动有利于身心健康，所以文章的标题“开始园艺，并获得健康的好处”。故选D。 D The farms of the future may look very different from that of today. That’s because farms do not have to be outside anymore. They also won’t have to be above ground. In London, 100 feet below the streets there was a huge empty space. Richard Ballard and Steven Dring, founders of the company Growing Underground, thought it would be an ideal spot to build a hydroponic (水栽) farm. After all, these types of farms are doing well in other indoor spaces. Founded in 2015, Growing Underground’s farm grows microgreens and salad leaves using hydroponic technology that grows plants in water but not soil. In fact, the company said that its hydroponic technology allows for the perfect pest-free growing environment. These methods use about 70 percent water less than traditional field agriculture and all the nutrients are kept within a closed circle system. They can grow the greens all year round because they are not affected by weather or growing seasons. But it is the LED lighting system that is the key to growing food underground. Ballard said, “Already, LEDs allow the growers to change the flavor of the greens, as their sugars and starches develop differently under different light spectrums (光谱).” Right now, the company only sells greens with a lot of leaves because they are the only crops that grow fast enough to be economically feasible but Ballard believes that will change. “As technologies improve, you’ll see soft fruits, cucumbers, peppers,” he said. The company’s goal is to keep food local. They say that all of the greens can be in your kitchen within four hours of being picked. They currently sell to local restaurants in London, but they hope to be entering the local groceries soon. 12. What makes the underground farm possible? A. The rich soil. B. The great demand for fruits. C. The hydroponic technology. D. The good weather condition. 13. What is the function of the LED lighting system? A. To get rid of pests. B. To increase the temperature of underground farm. C. To allow greens to grow rapidly. D. To provide various light spectrums. 14. What does the underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Difficult. B. Challenged. C. Impossible. D. Achievable. 15. What does the company expect of the underground farm? A. It’ll benefit more customers. B. It’ll be environment-friendly. C. It’ll keep food fresher for longer. D. It’ll use the latest technology. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。Growing Underground公司使用水培技术在地下打造种植农场。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In fact, the company said that its hydroponic technology allows for the perfect pest-free growing environment.(事实上，该公司表示，其水培技术可以提供完美的无害虫的生长环境)”可知，在地下农场中使用水培技术可以打造无害虫的植物生长环境。由此推知，正是水培技术使得地下农场成为可能。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Already, LEDs allow the growers to change the flavor of the greens, as their sugars and starches develop differently under different light spectrums.(LED已经可以让种植者改变绿色蔬菜的味道，因为它们的糖和淀粉在不同的光谱下发育不同。)”可推知，LED照明系统为地下农场提供了多样化的光谱，让糖分和淀粉在不同的光谱下发生不同的变化，从而改变绿色蔬菜的味道。故选D项。 14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“the company only sells greens with a lot of leaves because they are the only crops that grow fast enough...”可知，该公司目前仅销售多叶的绿色蔬菜，这是因为它们长得足够快，再结合常识和副词economically可推知，销售长得快的蔬菜是为了实现经济上的可行性。划线词feasible与achievable意思相近，指“可实现的，可行的”。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They currently sell to local restaurants in London, but they hope to be entering the local groceries soon.(他们目前在伦敦当地的餐馆销售，但他们希望很快进入当地的杂货店。)”可推知，公司希望地下农场生产处的蔬菜能够在更多的地方普及，从而能够惠及更多客户。故选A项。 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。 We all want to be successful. ____16____ We tend to focus directly on the end goals, failing to realize our big goals are not going to happen overnight. This is why celebrating small wins is so important in giving motivation (动力) to push through difficulties and move forward. Then how to celebrate small wins? Break large goals down into small goals. When faced with a large goal, our minds can slip into the habit of delay. Small goals can help avoid this. ____17____ Instead, make sure you create small, achievable goals that will allow you to see your progress more clearly. These small successes will help you feel good with each little step. ____18____ Do what you enjoy the most each time you complete a step. It could be anything from treating yourself to your favorite coffee or even taking a trip somewhere. Having something to look forward to trains the brain into creating motivation, which can speed up your pace of success. Don’t pressure yourself. Putting strict deadlines (截止日期) on your goals can lead to possible feelings of failure, even when there are small victories along the way. ____19____ This will increase your happiness and motivation as you celebrate small wins. Track your progress. Sometimes, we can give up because we are unaware of how close we are to success and forget how much we’ve done. Then why not keep a record? It will remind you how far you’ve come in achieving your goal. ____20____ In short, small wins make huge successes. Celebrating small wins will make long-term goals easier to achieve in the long run. A. Be flexible with your time limits. B. Small wins can actually be easy to ignore. C. So don’t expect to realize your big dream instantly. D. The negative feelings may slow down your success. E. Reward yourself. F. But along the journey to success, we can feel discouraged sometimes. G. Besides, seeing all the small wins written down can be a reward in itself. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何在追求长期目标的过程中通过庆祝小胜利来保持动力和积极性。 【16题详解】 根据上文内容“We all want to be successful. (我们都想成功。)”可知，每个人都想成功。而根据空后内容“We tend to focus directly on the end goals, failing to realize our big goals are not going to happen overnight.(我们往往直接关注最终的目标，没有意识到我们的大目标不会在一夜之间实现。)”可知，我们总是关注最终目标，也就是总想着要成功。选项F“But along the journey to success, we can feel discouraged sometimes.(但在追求成功的道路上，我们有时会感到气馁。)”中的“feel discouraged”与前一句中的“want to be successful”形成对比，说明成功路上的困难会使人感到气馁，与空前的“but”形成一致。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文内容“When faced with a large goal, our minds can slip into the habit of delay. Small goals can help avoid this. (当面对一个大目标时，我们的思维很容易陷入拖延的习惯。小目标可以帮助避免这种情况。)”可知，上文建议我们将大目标分解成小目标。选项C“So don’t expect to realize your big dream instantly.(所以不要指望立刻实现你的大梦想。)”延续上文内容，指出小目标才能帮助我们成功，所以我们要慢慢来，不要指望立刻成功。故选C。 【18题详解】 空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Do what you enjoy the most each time you complete a step. It could be anything from treating yourself to your favorite coffee or even taking a trip somewhere. Having something to look forward to trains the brain into creating motivation, which can speed up your pace of success.(每次完成一个步骤时，做你最喜欢的事情。它可以是任何事情，比如请自己喝一杯最喜欢的咖啡，甚至去某个地方旅行。有值得期待的事情会让大脑产生动力，这可以加快你成功的步伐。)”可知，每次完成一个步骤时，做你最喜欢的事情，比如请自己喝一杯最喜欢的咖啡，甚至去某个地方旅行，这说的是要奖励自己。选项E“Reward yourself.(奖励自己)”概括了后文的内容。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据空前内容“Putting strict deadlines (截止日期) on your goals can lead to possible feelings of failure, even when there are small victories along the way.(为你的目标设定严格的截止日期可能会导致失败的感觉，即使在这个过程中有小胜利。)”可知，作者认为严格的截止日期会让人有挫败感。选项A“Be flexible with your time limits.(在时间限制上要灵活。)”与上文内容相符，指的是严格的截止日期会让人有挫败感，所以在时间限制上要灵活处理。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文内容“Track your progress. Sometimes, we can give up because we are unaware of how close we are to success and forget how much we’ve done. Then why not keep a record? It will remind you how far you’ve come in achieving your goal.(跟踪你的进度。有时，我们可能会放弃，因为我们没有意识到我们离成功有多近，忘记了我们已经做了多少。那么为什么不记录一下呢？它会提醒你在实现目标方面取得了多大的进展。)”可知，作者认为我们要追踪自己的进步。同时建议我们记录我们的进度。选项G“Besides, seeing all the small wins written down can be a reward in itself.(此外，看到所有写下的小胜利本身就是一种奖励。)”延续上文内容，指出当我们看到自己记录的进度本身就是一种奖励。故选G。 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。 In 2009, I had breast cancer (乳腺癌).

He felt relieved that the shop hadn’t closed forever. Two days ago, when he passed by, there was a closed sign on the door and a note saying Mrs. Carter was sick. Evan was worried that he would never be able to get his “dream job” if the shop remained closed for too long. Mrs. Carter, an 85-year-old woman, spotted Evan looking in her shop’s direction and waved hello to him. Excitedly, Evan ran up to her and expressed his desire to work at the shop. Mrs.Carter laughed quietly, finding it amusing that an eight-year-old wanted a job. Evan confidently explained that since his dad passed away, he had learned how to do various tasks, like taking out the rubbish, making sandwiches, and assisting his mom, Stacey, with groceries. He didn’t want any payment for his work; instead, he simply wanted a bouquet (花束) for his mom’ s upcoming birthday. He believed in working hard for what he wanted, just as his mom had taught him. Impressed by Evan’s determination, Mrs. Carter agreed to hire him. She asked if he knew how to tie ribbons around flowers, and when she heard Evan’s affirmative(肯定的) response, they got down to making bouquets. Evan was excited to assist Mrs. Carter every evening for a whole week, and his presence brought joy to her boring work.Customers found Evan adorable and entertaining, which resulted in increased flower purchases and booming business for Mrs. Carter. On Evan’s last day, Mrs.Carter felt emotional. Their bond had grown strong, and she saw him as a grandchild. As she prepared a splendid bouquet for Evan’s mother, tears welled up in her eyes. She invited him to visit her shop in the future, and Evan promised to tell his mom about her. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 With the bouquet in hand, Evan rushed home to celebrate Mom’s birthday. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Evan handed his mom the bouquet, they were surprised to discover an envelope with several hundred-dollar bills inside. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 With the bouquet in hand, Evan rushed home to celebrate Mom’s birthday. On seeing the gift, his mom was astonished. The bouquet was huge and looked expensive. Rather than being happy about it, she wondered where Evan had gotten it. “Evan? Where did you get the money for this?” she asked, worried. With a big smile on his face, Evan told her the whole story and explained that he had once overheard Stacey’s conversations, learning she didn’t buy herself things to save money for him, so he made up his mind to give Mom a special gift for her birthday. Hearing the heartfelt words, mom was moved. She embraced him tightly, expressing her love and gratitude. As Evan handed his mom the bouquet, they were surprised to discover an envelope with several hundred-dollar bills inside. Worried that Mrs. Carter had made a mistake, Evan suggested returning the money. They went to the flower shop immediately and handed the envelope back to Mrs. Carter. Smiling warmly, Mrs. Carter explained that it wasn’t a mistake but a birthday gift for Evan’s mother. She insisted they keep it, saying it was Evan’s affection for his mom that touched her and that she decided to lend a hand. Moved by Mrs. Carter’s kindness, mom invited her for dinner that night and they celebrated Stacey’s birthday together. 第二段落范文二： As Evan handed his mom the bouquet, they were surprised to discover an envelope with several hundred-dollar bills inside. They hurriedly returned to the flower shop to let Mrs. Carter know how they appreciated her kindness but couldn’t accept the money because of mom’s firm belief－one should stand on his own feet. Mrs. Carter’s eyes were filled with admiration for the Stacey’s independence. She proposed a solution: Stacey could work at the flower shop whenever it was convenient. Mom’s face lit up with joy as she gladly accepted the offer. Stacey invited Mrs. Carter to dinner, not just as a birthday celebration but also as a way to express her gratitude to Mrs. Carter for everything she had done. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了八岁的埃文想为妈妈买一束花庆祝生日，埃文的决心给卡特夫人留下了深刻的印象，她同意雇用他。他的出现给她枯燥的工作带来了乐趣。顾客们发现埃文可爱又有趣，这使得卡特夫人的鲜花购买量增加，生意也兴隆起来。最后卡特夫人送了一束花给他，埃文为母亲庆祝了生日。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“埃文手里拿着花束，冲回家给妈妈庆祝生日”可知，第一段可描写妈妈看到花的反应以及埃文解释花的来历。 ②由第二段首句内容“当埃文把花束递给妈妈时，他们惊讶地发现了一个信封，里面装着几百美元的钞票”可知，第二段可描写他们归还钱，卡特夫人表示是给他母亲的生日礼物。 2.续写线索：埃文拿着花回家——母亲高兴——埃文解释——发现钱——归还钱——卡特夫人解释——一起庆祝生日 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/spot ②庆祝：celebrate/observe ③下定决心做某事：make up one’s mind to do/be determined to do 情绪类 ①感动的：moved/touched ②担心的：worried/concerned 【点睛】[高分句型1] Rather than being happy about it, she wondered where Evan had gotten it.
