B William Lindesay, a famous Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled the globe by the back paths, providing their sons with a unique growing environment. Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋) — these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family. Most of their trips seem far from relaxing — cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six- day train ride from Beijing to Moscow. Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and avoid pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.” However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time. Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says. 4. How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips? A. Pleasant. B. Relaxing C. Challenging. D. Dangerous. 5. What does the underlined word “inconsistent” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Distinct. B. Apparent. C. Remarkable. D. Efficient. 6. What problem does the family meet when traveling? A. They suffer from a tight budget. B. They miss some lessons and exams. C. They hold different educational ideas. D. They are faced with language barriers. 7. Which statement may Lindesay agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Toughness is the best assistant of will. C. Man who travels far knows more. D. There is no royal road to learning. C In a classroom in rural Kenya’ s Rift Valley, a student, Priscilla Sitienei, takes notes alongside her fellow classmates. She wears the same school uniform. However, there is something different. Sitienei is more than 80 years older than them. February 11 was Sitienei’s ninety-ninth birthday. “The main reason for my returning to school was that I would like to become a doctor because I used to be a midwife,” she said. She added that her children supported her decision. Back in 2003, the government of the East African country began helping to pay for the cost of primary schooling. This has allowed some older members of society, who had missed out on education in their younger days, to go back to school. This has given Sitienei more than an education. She has become a film star. Sitienei travelled to Paris last year for the launch of a film about her journey. It is titled Gogo, which means grandmother in her native Kalenjin language. She will also be heading to New York City soon for a showing of the film there. Sitienei is in her sixth year of primary school. She said her aims were far more practical than becoming a movie star. She said, “I also enjoy school activities, including physical education classes. They keep me fit. I get to jump around, even though not as much as they do, but I at least move my body. That is my joy.” Sitienei shares her wide experience and knowledge with the children. Her teachers also use her experience to keep the peace during lessons. Her class teacher, Leonida Talaam, said, “I use Sitienei to help control the class. And it works! When I go outside, the class remains silent.” 8. Why does Sitienei go to school at such an old age? A. To inspire others. B. To return to society. C. To take up a new career. D. To help teachers control the class. 9. Why will Sitienei go to New York City? A. Her movie will come out there. B. She wants to keep fit. C. She wants to meet her grandma. D. She wants to learn the native language. 10 Which of the following best describes Sitienei? A. Dependent and friendly. B. Creative and warm-hearted. C. Honest and humorous. D. Energetic and ambitious. 11. How does Sitienei help her teachers control the class? A. Speak loudly to keep order in class. B. Organize school activities to work out. C. Stop the students from going out. D. Inspire the students to obey the rules. D Artificial intelligence becoming self-aware and exterminating (消灭) the human race is a common theme in science fiction. But the levels of high intelligence that AI could reach is a real concern among some scientists. But with more talk of AI and smart devices in the home, what are the positives of bringing these things into your life? Hans Rosling, a professor of international health, once spoke about the impact and changes that the washing machine made. The once tough task of cleaning clothes by hand was taken on by a machine and freed up more time for other activities. There are so many smart devices that you can fill your home with. Imagine waking up to find a piping hot, freshly brewed cup of coffee, spotless floors that have been recently cleaned and the house set to the perfect temperature. With smart devices, these things can happen while you sleep. The potential to pre-program and automate parts of your life means that you can focus on other tasks in your life. But there is a difference between smart devices and AI. Smart devices are the things that get on with the tasks, while AI can ‘think’ or interact, and can be used to control the smart devices. There are many voice-activated AI systems which can control the smart devices around your home. You can ask these devices to start making coffee, dim the lights when they’ re too bright or even make sure the house is secure. You can inquire as to the weather outside, ask them to play music or search the internet for you when you have a burning question about history or the latest cooking recipes. Some of these devices even have a sense of humour, and upon asking them certain questions, they will retort (反驳). In short, in some ways, they can act as company. But how far will it go? Well, we already have self- driving cars and sentient tech that can automatically order the delivery of certain products to restock our fridge when we’ re running low, but often in films and games we see humanoid robots taking over all of the domestic duties. It seems for now, that those things only live in our imaginations, but we could be seeing them sooner than we think. 12. What concerns some scientists about AI? A. It will reach high levels. B. It will retort when asked. C. It will take over the earth. D. It will live in imaginations. 13. What is the difference between smart devices and AI? A. AI systems get on with tasks. B. Smart devices can control AI system. C. Smart devices can be controlled by voice. D. AI implies a level of thinking or interaction. 14. What’s the writer’s attitude to the future of AI? A. Objective. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 15. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The Future of AI and Smart Devices B. The Wonders of Smart Devices and AI C. AI and Smart Devices: Changing Our Lives D. Benefits of AI and Smart Devices in Daily Life 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。 Improving job satisfaction Job satisfaction is important for living a stress free life as we spend most of our time at workplace. ____16____ For most people lack of job satisfaction usually depends on certain factors such as poor job profile, poor salary raise, slow career advancement, poor organizational culture etc. Here are some tips to help you improve your job satisfaction.

He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first, he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different. “Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled. Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying. Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor through the smoke. They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor (走廊) when Jane suddenly stopped. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed her. Jane had suddenly remembered the old lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Mary. Jane began banging on Mary’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around then, Tom could see many of their neighbors — some still in their pajamas (睡衣) — running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind. “She would have run for safety like everyone else!” cried Tom. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Mary’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Mary’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded against the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!” 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150字左右； 2. 续写部分为2段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: At the same time, Tom noticed the flame was growing higher and higher. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024学年第一学期杭州S9联盟期中联考 高二年级英语学科 试题 考生须知： 1. 本卷共8页满分150分，考试时间120分钟； 2. 答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号及准考证号并填涂相应数字。 3. 所有答案必须写在答题纸上，写在试卷上无效； 4.考试结束后，只需上交答题纸。 第Ⅰ卷 选择题（共95分） 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分） 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.

Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋) — these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family. Most of their trips seem far from relaxing — cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six- day train ride from Beijing to Moscow. Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and avoid pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.” However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time. Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says. 4. How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips? A. Pleasant. B. Relaxing C. Challenging. D. Dangerous. 5. What does the underlined word “inconsistent” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Distinct. B. Apparent. C. Remarkable. D. Efficient. 6. What problem does the family meet when traveling? A. They suffer from a tight budget. B. They miss some lessons and exams. C. They hold different educational ideas. D. They are faced with language barriers. 7. Which statement may Lindesay agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Toughness is the best assistant of will. C. Man who travels far knows more. D. There is no royal road to learning. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了著名长城专家和环保主义者William Lindesay和妻子Wu Qi带着孩子们在全球旅行的故事，以及他们对教育的看法。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Most of their trips seem far from relaxing — cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.(他们的大部分旅行似乎都远非轻松——在炎热干燥的沙漠中进行文化研究，新西兰53公里的徒步旅行，一天内爬上三座英国山顶，以及从北京到莫斯科的六天火车旅行)”可知，Lindesays的旅行充满了挑战，如在炎热干燥的沙漠中进行文化研究、长距离徒步、一天内爬多座山以及长途火车旅行等。因此他们的旅行具有挑战性。故选C。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词后文“Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time.(Wu记得有一次Lindesay让他们的大儿子请假，这样他们就可以去纽约进行45天的巡回演讲。因此儿子错过了期末考试。这种事一直困扰着这个家庭)”可知，他们的旅行很漫长，持续几周甚至几个月，与孩子们的学校课程安排不一致，划线词为“不一致，不同的”，与distinct意思相近。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time.(Wu记得有一次Lindesay让他们的大儿子请假，这样他们就可以去纽约进行45天的巡回演讲。因此儿子错过了期末考试。这种事一直困扰着这个家庭)”可知，由于旅行的时间较长，孩子会错过学校的一些课程和考试，这些问题一直困扰着这个家庭。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says.(Lindesay非常重视课外学习，他说，孩子们可能在学校考试中取得好成绩，但到语言、文化和政治结构不同的遥远国度旅行才是真正的考验。“你只有在街上才能掌握街道知识。只有在看世界的时候，你才能变得善于处世，”他说)”可知，他可能同意远行可以让人增长见识这一观点，C选项“Man who travels far knows more.(走得远的人知道得更多)”切题。故选C。 C In a classroom in rural Kenya’ s Rift Valley, a student, Priscilla Sitienei, takes notes alongside her fellow classmates. She wears the same school uniform. However, there is something different. Sitienei is more than 80 years older than them. February 11 was Sitienei’s ninety-ninth birthday. “The main reason for my returning to school was that I would like to become a doctor because I used to be a midwife,” she said. She added that her children supported her decision. Back in 2003, the government of the East African country began helping to pay for the cost of primary schooling. This has allowed some older members of society, who had missed out on education in their younger days, to go back to school. This has given Sitienei more than an education. She has become a film star. Sitienei travelled to Paris last year for the launch of a film about her journey. It is titled Gogo, which means grandmother in her native Kalenjin language. She will also be heading to New York City soon for a showing of the film there. Sitienei is in her sixth year of primary school. She said her aims were far more practical than becoming a movie star. She said, “I also enjoy school activities, including physical education classes. They keep me fit. I get to jump around, even though not as much as they do, but I at least move my body. That is my joy.” Sitienei shares her wide experience and knowledge with the children. Her teachers also use her experience to keep the peace during lessons. Her class teacher, Leonida Talaam, said, “I use Sitienei to help control the class. And it works! When I go outside, the class remains silent.” 8. Why does Sitienei go to school at such an old age? A. To inspire others. B. To return to society. C. To take up a new career. D. To help teachers control the class. 9. Why will Sitienei go to New York City? A. Her movie will come out there. B. She wants to keep fit. C. She wants to meet her grandma. D. She wants to learn the native language. 10. Which of the following best describes Sitienei? A. Dependent and friendly. B. Creative and warm-hearted. C. Honest and humorous. D. Energetic and ambitious. 11. How does Sitienei help her teachers control the class? A. Speak loudly to keep order in class. B. Organize school activities to work out. C. Stop the students from going out. D. Inspire the students to obey the rules. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在肯尼亚乡村，年近百岁的老人Sitienei为了实现自己的梦想而重返学校上学的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段““The main reason for my returning to school was that I would like to become a doctor because I used to be a midwife,” she said. (“我重返校园的主要原因是我想成为一名医生，因为我曾经是一名助产士，”她说)”可知，Sitienei回到学校上学的主要目的是想从事一项新的事业。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“She will also be heading to New York City soon for a showing of the film there. (她不久还将为电影前往纽约)”可知，Sitienei去纽约因为她的电影将在那里上映。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“She said, “I also enjoy school activities, including physical education classes. They keep me fit. I get to jump around, even though not as much as they do, but I at least move my body. That is my joy.” (她说：“我也喜欢学校的活动，包括体育课。它们使我保持健康。我可以跳来跳去，虽然没有他们跳得多，但我至少可以移动我的身体。这就是我的快乐。”)”可以看出，Sitienei是精力充沛的；根据文章第二段““The main reason for my returning to school was that I would like to become a doctor because I used to be a midwife,” she said. (“我重返校园的主要原因是我想成为一名医生，因为我曾经是一名助产士，”她说)”可知，虽然Sitienei99岁高龄，但是她还想投入新的事业，她是有熊心的。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Sitienei shares her wide experience and knowledge with the children. Her teachers also use her experience to keep the peace during lessons. Her class teacher, Leonida Talaam, said, “I use Sitienei to help control the class. And it works! When I go outside, the class remains silent.” (Sitienei和孩子们分享了她丰富的经历和知识。她的老师也利用她的经历让课堂保持安静。她的班主任莱奥尼达·塔拉姆说：“我用Sitienei来帮助控制课堂。它确实有效！当我走出去的时候，全班都保持沉默。”)”可知，Sitienei通过自己的经历和知识，激励学生遵守规则，从而帮助她的老师维持课堂秩序。故选D。 D Artificial intelligence becoming self-aware and exterminating (消灭) the human race is a common theme in science fiction. But the levels of high intelligence that AI could reach is a real concern among some scientists. But with more talk of AI and smart devices in the home, what are the positives of bringing these things into your life? Hans Rosling, a professor of international health, once spoke about the impact and changes that the washing machine made. The once tough task of cleaning clothes by hand was taken on by a machine and freed up more time for other activities. There are so many smart devices that you can fill your home with. Imagine waking up to find a piping hot, freshly brewed cup of coffee, spotless floors that have been recently cleaned and the house set to the perfect temperature. With smart devices, these things can happen while you sleep. The potential to pre-program and automate parts of your life means that you can focus on other tasks in your life. But there is a difference between smart devices and AI. Smart devices are the things that get on with the tasks, while AI can ‘think’ or interact, and can be used to control the smart devices. There are many voice-activated AI systems which can control the smart devices around your home. You can ask these devices to start making coffee, dim the lights when they’ re too bright or even make sure the house is secure. You can inquire as to the weather outside, ask them to play music or search the internet for you when you have a burning question about history or the latest cooking recipes. Some of these devices even have a sense of humour, and upon asking them certain questions, they will retort (反驳). In short, in some ways, they can act as company. But how far will it go? Well, we already have self- driving cars and sentient tech that can automatically order the delivery of certain products to restock our fridge when we’ re running low, but often in films and games we see humanoid robots taking over all of the domestic duties. It seems for now, that those things only live in our imaginations, but we could be seeing them sooner than we think. 12. What concerns some scientists about AI? A. It will reach high levels. B. It will retort when asked. C. It will take over the earth. D. It will live in imaginations. 13. What is the difference between smart devices and AI? A. AI systems get on with tasks. B. Smart devices can control AI system. C. Smart devices can be controlled by voice. D. AI implies a level of thinking or interaction. 14. What’s the writer’s attitude to the future of AI? A. Objective. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 15. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The Future of AI and Smart Devices B. The Wonders of Smart Devices and AI C. AI and Smart Devices: Changing Our Lives D. Benefits of AI and Smart Devices in Daily Life 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能和智能设备融入日常生活所带来的积极影响，以及人工智能与智能设备之间的区别和未来发展的可能性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Artificial intelligence becoming self-aware and exterminating (消灭) the human race is a common theme in science fiction. But the levels of high intelligence that AI could reach is a real concern among some scientists.(人工智能变得具有自我意识并消灭人类，这是科幻小说中的一个常见主题。但人工智能可能达到的高度智能水平确实让一些科学家感到担忧)”可知，人工智能可能达到的高度智能水平让一些科学家感到担忧。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But there is a difference between smart devices and AI. Smart devices are the things that get on with the tasks, while AI can ‘think’ or interact, and can be used to control the smart devices.(但智能设备和人工智能之间存在差异。智能设备是执行任务的工具，而人工智能可以“思考”或交互，并可用于控制智能设备)”可知，智能设备和人工智能之间的主要区别在于人工智能可以“思考”或交互，而智能设备只是执行任务的工具。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It seems for now, that those things only live in our imaginations, but we could be seeing them sooner than we think.(现在看来，这些事情似乎只存在于我们的想象中，但我们可能比想象中更快地看到它们的出现)”可知，虽然作者提到目前人工智能的某些高级功能似乎只存在于想象中，但紧接着用“但我们可能比想象中更快地看到它们的出现”来表达一种可能性，这种表述是客观的。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章第一段首先引出人工智能和智能设备的话题，并提到人工智能可能达到的高度智能水平让一些科学家感到担忧，然后话锋一转，提出“what are the positives of bringing these things into your life?(将这些事物融入你的生活有哪些积极之处？)”；接下来几段主要介绍了智能设备和人工智能在日常生活中的好处，以及人工智能与智能设备之间的区别和未来发展的可能性。由此可知，文章主要讲述的是人工智能和智能设备如何改变和便利了人们的日常生活，AI and Smart Devices: Changing Our Lives(人工智能和智能设备：改变我们的生活)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。 Improving job satisfaction Job satisfaction is important for living a stress free life as we spend most of our time at workplace. ____16____ For most people lack of job satisfaction usually depends on certain factors such as poor job profile, poor salary raise, slow career advancement, poor organizational culture etc. Here are some tips to help you improve your job satisfaction.

He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first, he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different. “Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled. Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying. Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor through the smoke. They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor (走廊) when Jane suddenly stopped. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed her. Jane had suddenly remembered the old lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Mary. Jane began banging on Mary’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around then, Tom could see many of their neighbors — some still in their pajamas (睡衣) — running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind. “She would have run for safety like everyone else!” cried Tom. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Mary’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Mary’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded against the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go!” 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150字左右； 2. 续写部分为2段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: At the same time, Tom noticed the flame was growing higher and higher. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1: At the same time, Tom noticed the flame was growing higher and higher. The heat was intense, and the smoke was thickening, making it hard to breathe. Despite the danger, Jane didn’t give up. She continued to pound on Mary’s door, shouting, “Mary! Mary! Wake up!” Tom, feeling a mix of fear and admiration, stood beside her, urging her to leave. Finally, the door creaked open, and a dazed Mary appeared, coughing and full of confusion. Jane quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her out into the hallway. Paragraph 2: Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. Two strong men ran there and supported Mary, who was weak and struggling. Another neighbor gave Jane a wet towel to cover her nose and mouth. Together, they guided Mary, Jane, and Tom through the smoke-filled corridor to the stairway. The sound of alarm grew louder as firefighters arrived, and the crowd outside cheered as they emerged safely. Mary, tears streaming down her face, hugged Jane tightly. “Thank you, Jane,” she whispered, her voice trembling with gratitude. The incident not only showcased Jane’s courage but also strengthened the bond within the community. 【解析】 【导语】本文以火灾发生到救援为线索展开，讲述了在一个普通的早晨，十岁的汤姆和他姐姐简像往常一样在家度过，汤姆在写作业，而简在拉小提琴，然而，一场突如其来的火灾打破了这份宁静。面对危机，简展现出了超乎寻常的勇气和智慧，勇敢救出了年迈的邻居玛丽的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“与此同时，汤姆注意到火焰越来越高。”可知，第一段可描写面对紧急情况，简是怎么做的以及最后成功就出玛丽。 ②由第二段首句内容“幸运的是，一些路过的邻居停下来提供帮助。”可知，第二段可描写邻居们都做了些什么，以及这件事情带来的影响。 2.续写线索：火势凶猛——没有放弃——救出玛丽——邻居帮忙——消防到来——扑灭大火——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grabbed/seize/grasp ②跑过去：ran/rush/dash ③流下来：stream down/flow down 情绪类 ①害怕：fear/scare/fright ②迷茫：full of confusion/confused/puzzled 【点睛】[高分句型1] The heat was intense, and the smoke was thickening, making it hard to breathe. （运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] Two strong men ran over and supported Mary, who was weak and struggling.（运用了关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型3] The incident not only showcased Jane’s courage but also strengthened the bond within the community.（运用了“not only…but also…”连接并列结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
