B Have you ever read a book and found that one of the characters is exactly your carbon copy? And you relate to the character so well that you can’t help but wonder if the author had somehow observed your own life? Well, that is Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables for me. There are many instances in the book where I particularly felt connected to little Anne, like the one where she does a performance at a school concert. Although she has gone up on stage several times before, this is the time she gets a taste of stage fright. The same thing happened to me during a poetry competition in high school. Never did I find the stage as intimidating as I did on that day. There’s another situation where her friends don’t miss home as much, while Anne is terribly homesick. I could imagine how Anne feels. I’ve always wondered how people can move out of a place where they’ve spent their entire childhood and not feel even a pinch of sorrow. Whether it is the world of imagination that she loves to weave, or the experience of growing up as a lonely child, or the beautiful moments of daydreaming, or her fondness for nature, Anne is me, through and through. As I read through the chapters learning about her chattering nature asa kid that grew quieter during adolescence and the respect for her teachers, I saw myself in her. I grew so close to Anne and her friendships, her school and her dear little Green Gables and its inhabitants, that I couldn’t control my tears when I finished reading the last chapter. That’s what books do. They give you the freedom to live inside their fictional world even when you’re aware that you’re only a reader who exists outside. And although your existence inside that fictional world is imaginary and temporary, you end up cherishing that experience for a lifetime. 4. What does the underlined word “intimidating” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Horrible. B. Competitive. C. Beautiful. D. Boring. 5. What does the author think of those who don’t feel homesick? A. She can’t imagine their childhood. B. She appreciates their independence. C. She can’t understand their behavior. D. She sympathizes with their sorrow. 6. What kind of person is Anne Shirley? A. Imaginative and nature-loving. B. Proud and dream-pursuing. C. Creative but lonely-minded. D. Competitive but self-centered. 7. Why did the author cry when she finished the book? A. She was moved by Anne’s tough experience. B. She hated to part with her beloved characters. C. She failed to understand the story in the book. D. She was unhappy with the ending of the book. C Cats have long been known for their independence, but this doesn’t mean they don’t form strong emotional bonds with their owners. Studies have shown that cats have such ability partly due to a special hormone (激素), which is released during social interactions and bonding. Cats are known for their purring (猫发出的呼噜声), and rubbing against their owners as a way of showing affection. They may also follow their owners around, bring them “gifts” like dead mice, or lick them with their tongues. While these behaviors may not be as obvious as a dog waving its tail, they are clear signs of a cat’s appreciation for their owner. As a cat owner, you can do something to strengthen your bond with your beloved friend. Creating a safe and comfortable environment for your cat is essential to building a strong bond. Cats need a space where they feel secure and at ease, with access to food, water, and a litter box. Additionally, cats are natural climbers and love to be up high. Consider installing some cat shelves to give your cat a bird’s eye view of the surroundings. Playing with your cat is not only a fun way to spend time together, but it can also strengthen your bond with it. Cats love to play toys like string, feathers, or balls that can get them moving and engaging with you. Every cat is different and may have their own unique preferences. Some cats prefer interactive toys, while others enjoy playing with solo toys. Cats still value their personal space. It’s important to respect your cat’s boundaries and not force it into interactions it’s not comfortable with. Recognizing and responding to your cat’s body language can help you understand its needs. For example, if your cat’s ears are flattened, it may be a sign that it’s feeling stressed. In these situations, it’s best to give your cat some space and allow it to relax on its own terms. 8. What have studies found about cats? A. They are the most independent animals. B. They are able to release some hormones. C. They love humans partly out of nature. D. They enjoy interaction with other cats. 9. How does a cat most probably show its love to the owner? A By giving the owner a dead mouse. B. By running after the owner crazily. C. By sticking out its tongue. D. By happily waving its tail. 10. What should the owner do when the cat feels anxious? A. Comfort it with a hug. B. Put it on a high shelf. C. Play a fun toy with it. D. Allow it to stay alone. 11. What’s the text mainly about? A. Whether cats appreciate their owners. B. What environment your cats will love. C. Why cats enjoy playing with humans. D. How you can bond well with your cats. D Walking into my grandmother’s house, I watch her hands move in a fast-weaving motion as she’s knitting a blanket. Those finished blankets with beautiful color patterns will be donated to children’s hospitals. Her favorite pastime is creating, which provides her with satisfaction and purpose in life. The rest of my family have joined different art groups. We think it’s beneficial for our health, and we are right. Creating arts and crafts reduces levels of cortisol, the body’s stress hormone, past research has shown. Now, a new study by Dr. Helen Keyes, a British psychologist, and fellow researchers has found that creating arts and crafts can significantly boost well-being by providing meaningful spaces for expression and achievement. Although prior studies have shown its positive effects on people with mental health conditions, the general population has been understudied, according to the study, which was published recently in Frontiers in Public Health. That’s why they sampled members of the general population without diagnosed (诊断的) illnesses to see how arts and crafts might contribute to well- being and may reduce loneliness outcomes in everyday life. The researchers analyzed a sample of 7,182 participants living in England (age 16 and over). “We kept our analysis to arts and crafts at a broad level, rather than focusing on specific hobbies, as we know that people’s preferences vary and they will find the craft or creative activity that works best for them,” Keyes said. More than 37% of survey respondents confirmed they had taken part in at least one craft activity over the last year. Their reported happiness, life satisfaction and sense of lives being worthwhile were positively correlated to participating in arts and crafts. But creating arts and crafts was not associated with decreased loneliness, which requires further investigation. “A sense of mastery is important for well-being, and there is inherently a sense of mastery associated with crafting and creating art; that is, people can see their progress and be proud of what they are producing,” Keyes said. 12 Why does the author’s grandmother keep knitting? A. To communicate with kids. B. To improve physical fitness. C. To find the meaning of life. D. To set an example to others. 13. In which aspect is the new study different from the previous ones? A. The number of the chosen hobbies. B. The type of the studied participants. C. The methods of analyzing the data. D. The results of making arts and crafts. 14. What may be studied next about creating arts and crafts? A. Whether it improves people’s health. B. Why it fails to help reduce loneliness. C. How it is applied to hospital treatment. D. What other benefits it brings to people. 15. Which of the following may Dr. Helen Keyes agree with? A. Creating art brings people a sense of achievement. B. Some art activities are best for people’s well- being. C. The old and the sick benefit most from creating art. D. The progress in learning art leads people to success. 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。 Proficient writing skills are highly valuable in plenty of your careers. ___16___ Add to that the occasional report, write-up, or presentation, and you end up writing a lot even if you don’t think of yourself as a writer. Your writing improvement journey can begin right now with some helpful tips. ___17___ It may seem like adding extra work at first, but your patience and thoroughness are well worth the reward. Sketching out the general structure of your writing helps you avoid that rambling (不切题的) and how-do-I-land-this-plane kind of writing that leads to headaches and crunched-up papers being thrown in the trash. See your sentences as bodies of work. You know that an essay typically has an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. You should approach your sentences with a similar idea, although the components are a little different. After you write a sentence, check to make sure it has clear subjects, objects, articles, and verbs. If you’re unsure about your sentence construction, read it out loud. ___18___ If not, it needs some changes. Choose clarity over length. ___19___ You don’t have to polish your writing with complicated words to win readers’ admiration. Regardless of your audience’s backgrounds, professional or otherwise, they will appreciate clear ideas stated simply. When you can, opt for brief words and sentences. They carry more impact. Edit, edit, edit. “The only kind of writing is rewriting.” So stated Ernest Hemingway in his memoir (自传)—A Moveable Feast. As perhaps the most influential writer of the last hundred years, let’s take his word for it. It is totally normal to finish a first draft, read it over, and find it’s full of errors. Don’t get down on yourself—those errors are just room for improvement. ___20___ A. Make outlines. B. Expose yourself to challenges. C. Does it sound like something you would really say? D. Longer writing doesn’t always translate to better or smarter. E. Can you find a community that suits your particular interests? F. Over time, you’ll learn not to keep making the same mistakes. G. The amount of your daily writing through email, text, and instant message is sky high. 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。 I used to be a firm resolution-maker and every January 1st, I would write out my resolutions for the upcoming year.

The sun was high in the June sky as he navigated the roads that snaked through the hills. The air conditioning in his car seemed to struggle against the relentless heat. As the clock struck noon, Noah’s car suddenly came to a stop. The engine refused to turn over, leaving him stranded (使滞留) in the middle of nowhere. Sweat trickled down his back as he tried to restart the car, but in vain. His water supply was limited, and the heat was becoming unbearable. With no other option, he decided to seek help on foot, hoping to find someone who could assist him. After walking for a long distance, Noah spotted a farm. As he approached, he was amazed by the sight that greeted him: An expanse of lush greenery that seemed to stretch on forever. Upon closer inspection, he found it was a vast grove of lychee (荔枝) trees, their branches filled with ripe, red fruits. The sight was so breathtaking that he couldn’t help but take several photographs, capturing the vibrant scene. Just then, a man in his fifties, wearing a large-brimmed hat that protected his face from the sun, approached Noah with a curious expression. It was the owner of the farm, Lucas. After hearing about Noah’s situation, Lucas wasted no time in calling for help to repair Noah’s car. In the meantime, he invited Noah into his cabin to have a rest and escape the scorching sun. Inside the cabin, as they sat and talked, Lucas fetched some of the lychees from his grove and shared them with Noah, who was amazed by their flavor. He had never tasted so sweet, juicy lychees. Lucas talked proudly about his journey of cultivating lychees, from the initial challenges of working with the deserted land to the success of producing a bountiful harvest. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 However, Lucas’ smile faded, and he sighed deeply. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once back in the city, Noah decided to use his profession to do something for Lucas and his abundant lychees. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 沧衡名校联盟高三年级2024—2025学年上学期期中考试 英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。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?

And you relate to the character so well that you can’t help but wonder if the author had somehow observed your own life? Well, that is Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables for me. There are many instances in the book where I particularly felt connected to little Anne, like the one where she does a performance at a school concert. Although she has gone up on stage several times before, this is the time she gets a taste of stage fright. The same thing happened to me during a poetry competition in high school. Never did I find the stage as intimidating as I did on that day. There’s another situation where her friends don’t miss home as much, while Anne is terribly homesick. I could imagine how Anne feels. I’ve always wondered how people can move out of a place where they’ve spent their entire childhood and not feel even a pinch of sorrow. Whether it is the world of imagination that she loves to weave, or the experience of growing up as a lonely child, or the beautiful moments of daydreaming, or her fondness for nature, Anne is me, through and through. As I read through the chapters learning about her chattering nature asa kid that grew quieter during adolescence and the respect for her teachers, I saw myself in her. I grew so close to Anne and her friendships, her school and her dear little Green Gables and its inhabitants, that I couldn’t control my tears when I finished reading the last chapter. That’s what books do. They give you the freedom to live inside their fictional world even when you’re aware that you’re only a reader who exists outside. And although your existence inside that fictional world is imaginary and temporary, you end up cherishing that experience for a lifetime. 4. What does the underlined word “intimidating” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Horrible. B. Competitive. C. Beautiful. D. Boring. 5. What does the author think of those who don’t feel homesick? A. She can’t imagine their childhood. B. She appreciates their independence. C. She can’t understand their behavior. D. She sympathizes with their sorrow. 6. What kind of person is Anne Shirley? A. Imaginative and nature-loving. B. Proud and dream-pursuing. C. Creative but lonely-minded. D. Competitive but self-centered. 7. Why did the author cry when she finished the book? A. She was moved by Anne’s tough experience. B. She hated to part with her beloved characters. C. She failed to understand the story in the book. D. She was unhappy with the ending of the book. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者对《绿山墙的安妮》中的故事主人公Anne Shirley的成长经历感同身受， 因而在看书时产生了强烈的共鸣。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Although she has gone up on stage several times before, this is the time she gets a taste of stage fright. The same thing happened to me during a poetry competition in high school.(虽然她以前上过几次台，但这是她第一次尝到怯场的滋味。在高中的一次诗歌比赛中，同样的事情也发生在我身上)”可知，作者也曾经怯场，即害怕舞台，上文提到了stage fright，intimidating与之呼应，意为“令人胆怯的”。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I’ve always wondered how people can move out of a place where they’ve spent their entire childhood and not feel even a pinch of sorrow.(我一直在想，人们怎么能离开一个他们度过了整个童年的地方，却一点也不感到悲伤)”可知，和Anne一样，作者也是个恋家的人，因此她对不想家的同学们感到不理解。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Whether it is the world of imagination that she loves to weave, or the experience of growing up as a lonely child, or the beautiful moments of daydreaming, or her fondness for nature, Anne is me, through and through. As I read through the chapters learning about her chattering nature asa kid that grew quieter during adolescence and the respect for her teachers, I saw myself in her.(无论是她喜欢编织的想象世界，还是作为一个孤独的孩子长大的经历，还是白日梦的美丽时刻，还是她对自然的喜爱，安妮都是我，彻头彻尾的。当我通读书中的章节，了解到她在青春期变得安静的时候喋喋不休的天性，以及她对老师的尊重时，我在她身上看到了自己)”可推知，Anne想象力丰富，热爱自然。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I grew so close to Anne and her friendships, her school and her dear little Green Gables and its inhabitants, that I couldn’t control my tears when I finished reading the last chapter. That’s what books do. They give you the freedom to live inside their fictional world even when you’re aware that you’re only a reader who exists outside.(我对安妮和她的友谊、她的学校、她可爱的小绿山墙和它的居民变得如此亲近，以至于当我读完最后一章时，我无法控制自己的眼泪。这就是书的作用。他们让你自由地生活在他们虚构的世界里，即使你意识到你只是一个存在于外面的读者)”以及故事主人公Anne对作者来说是一个一同成长的亲密朋友， 随着全书读完，与她分别的时刻似已到来，令作者感到悲伤。故选B。 C Cats have long been known for their independence, but this doesn’t mean they don’t form strong emotional bonds with their owners. Studies have shown that cats have such ability partly due to a special hormone (激素), which is released during social interactions and bonding. Cats are known for their purring (猫发出的呼噜声), and rubbing against their owners as a way of showing affection. They may also follow their owners around, bring them “gifts” like dead mice, or lick them with their tongues. While these behaviors may not be as obvious as a dog waving its tail, they are clear signs of a cat’s appreciation for their owner. As a cat owner, you can do something to strengthen your bond with your beloved friend. Creating a safe and comfortable environment for your cat is essential to building a strong bond. Cats need a space where they feel secure and at ease, with access to food, water, and a litter box. Additionally, cats are natural climbers and love to be up high. Consider installing some cat shelves to give your cat a bird’s eye view of the surroundings. Playing with your cat is not only a fun way to spend time together, but it can also strengthen your bond with it. Cats love to play toys like string, feathers, or balls that can get them moving and engaging with you. Every cat is different and may have their own unique preferences. Some cats prefer interactive toys, while others enjoy playing with solo toys. Cats still value their personal space. It’s important to respect your cat’s boundaries and not force it into interactions it’s not comfortable with. Recognizing and responding to your cat’s body language can help you understand its needs. For example, if your cat’s ears are flattened, it may be a sign that it’s feeling stressed. In these situations, it’s best to give your cat some space and allow it to relax on its own terms. 8. What have studies found about cats? A. They are the most independent animals. B. They are able to release some hormones. C. They love humans partly out of nature. D. They enjoy interaction with other cats. 9. How does a cat most probably show its love to the owner? A. By giving the owner a dead mouse. B. By running after the owner crazily. C. By sticking out its tongue. D. By happily waving its tail. 10. What should the owner do when the cat feels anxious? A. Comfort it with a hug. B. Put it on a high shelf. C. Play a fun toy with it. D. Allow it to stay alone. 11. What’s the text mainly about? A. Whether cats appreciate their owners. B. What environment your cats will love. C. Why cats enjoy playing with humans. D. How you can bond well with your cats. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猫的主人与猫建立信任、和谐相处的建议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Studies have shown that cats have such ability partly due to a special hormone (激素), which is released during social interactions and bonding.(研究表明，猫具有这种能力部分是由于一种特殊的激素，这种激素是在社交互动和亲密关系中释放的)”可知，这说明与人亲近在某种程度上是猫的一种天性。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Cats are known for their purring (猫发出的呼噜声), and rubbing against their owners as a way of showing affection. They may also follow their owners around, bring them ‘gifts’ like dead mice, or lick them with their tongues.(猫以发出呼噜声而闻名，它们会摩擦主人以示爱意。它们也可能跟着主人四处走动，给他们带来像死老鼠一样的‘礼物’，或者用舌头舔他们)”可知，猫最有可能通过给主人一只死老鼠来表达对主人的爱。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Cats still value their personal space. It’s important to respect your cat’s boundaries and not force it into interactions it’s not comfortable with. Recognizing and responding to your cat’s body language can help you understand its needs. For example, if your cat’s ears are flattened, it may be a sign that it’s feeling stressed. In these situations, it’s best to give your cat some space and allow it to relax on its own terms.(猫仍然珍视自己的私人空间。重要的是要尊重猫的界限，不要强迫它进行不舒服的互动。识别和回应猫的肢体语言可以帮助你了解它的需求。例如，如果你的猫耳朵扁平，这可能是它感到压力的迹象。在这种情况下，最好给你的猫一些空间，让它自己放松)”可知，如果你的猫的耳朵是扁平的，这可能是它们感到压力的迹象。在这种情况下，最好给你的猫一些空间，让它们按照自己的方式放松。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第三段“As a cat owner, you can do something to strengthen your bond with your beloved friend.(作为一个养猫的人，你可以做一些事情来加强你与心爱的朋友的联系)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了如何与你的猫建立良好的关系。故选D项。 D Walking into my grandmother’s house, I watch her hands move in a fast-weaving motion as she’s knitting a blanket. Those finished blankets with beautiful color patterns will be donated to children’s hospitals. Her favorite pastime is creating, which provides her with satisfaction and purpose in life. The rest of my family have joined different art groups. We think it’s beneficial for our health, and we are right. Creating arts and crafts reduces levels of cortisol, the body’s stress hormone, past research has shown. Now, a new study by Dr. Helen Keyes, a British psychologist, and fellow researchers has found that creating arts and crafts can significantly boost well-being by providing meaningful spaces for expression and achievement. Although prior studies have shown its positive effects on people with mental health conditions, the general population has been understudied, according to the study, which was published recently in Frontiers in Public Health. That’s why they sampled members of the general population without diagnosed (诊断的) illnesses to see how arts and crafts might contribute to well- being and may reduce loneliness outcomes in everyday life. The researchers analyzed a sample of 7,182 participants living in England (age 16 and over). “We kept our analysis to arts and crafts at a broad level, rather than focusing on specific hobbies, as we know that people’s preferences vary and they will find the craft or creative activity that works best for them,” Keyes said. More than 37% of survey respondents confirmed they had taken part in at least one craft activity over the last year. Their reported happiness, life satisfaction and sense of lives being worthwhile were positively correlated to participating in arts and crafts. But creating arts and crafts was not associated with decreased loneliness, which requires further investigation. “A sense of mastery is important for well-being, and there is inherently a sense of mastery associated with crafting and creating art; that is, people can see their progress and be proud of what they are producing,” Keyes said. 12. Why does the author’s grandmother keep knitting? A. To communicate with kids. B. To improve physical fitness. C. To find the meaning of life. D. To set an example to others. 13. In which aspect is the new study different from the previous ones? A. The number of the chosen hobbies. B. The type of the studied participants. C. The methods of analyzing the data. D. The results of making arts and crafts. 14. What may be studied next about creating arts and crafts? A. Whether it improves people’s health. B. Why it fails to help reduce loneliness. C. How it is applied to hospital treatment. D. What other benefits it brings to people. 15. Which of the following may Dr. Helen Keyes agree with? A. Creating art brings people a sense of achievement. B. Some art activities are best for people’s well- being. C. The old and the sick benefit most from creating art. D. The progress in learning art leads people to success. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍进行艺术或手工艺品创作会给人带来幸福感，从而提升健康水平。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Her favorite pastime is creating, which provides her with satisfaction and purpose in life. (她最喜欢的消遣是创作（针织品），这给她的生活带来了满足感和目标)”可知，作者的祖母最喜欢的消遣是创作，这给她的生活带来了满足感和目标。因此，她进行针织的目的是找寻生活的意义。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Although prior studies have shown its positive effects on people with mental health conditions, the general population has been understudied, according to the study, which was published recently in Frontiers in Public Health. (根据最近发表在《公共卫生前沿》上的这项研究，尽管之前的研究表明它对有精神健康状况的人有积极影响，但对普通人群的研究还不够充分)”和第四段“That’s why they sampled members of the general population without diagnosed illnesses to see how arts and crafts might contribute to well- being and may reduce loneliness outcomes in everyday life. (这就是为什么他们从没有确诊疾病的普通人群中取样，看看艺术和手工艺如何有助于健康，并可能减少日常生活中的孤独感)”可知，之前研究的研究对象是有心理健康状况的人，新研究的研究对象是普通人群。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But creating arts and crafts was not associated with decreased loneliness, which requires further investigation. (但创造艺术和手工艺与减少孤独感无关，这需要进一步调查)”可知，进行艺术和手工艺品创作与减少孤独感无关，这需要进一步的研究。因此，这很可能是下一步的研究方向。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““A sense of mastery is important for well-being, and there is inherently a sense of mastery associated with crafting and creating art; that is, people can see their progress and be proud of what they are producing,” Keyes said. (“掌控感对幸福很重要，在制作和创造艺术的过程中，有一种内在的掌控感；也就是说，人们可以看到自己的进步，并为自己的成果感到自豪。”)”可知，进行艺术或手工艺品创作能增强人的幸福感。故选A。 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。 Proficient writing skills are highly valuable in plenty of your careers. ___16___ Add to that the occasional report, write-up, or presentation, and you end up writing a lot even if you don’t think of yourself as a writer.

(运用了动名词作宾语) 第二节 (满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Noah, a journalist, was on his way to a remote region in California for an assignment. The sun was high in the June sky as he navigated the roads that snaked through the hills. The air conditioning in his car seemed to struggle against the relentless heat. As the clock struck noon, Noah’s car suddenly came to a stop. The engine refused to turn over, leaving him stranded (使滞留) in the middle of nowhere. Sweat trickled down his back as he tried to restart the car, but in vain. His water supply was limited, and the heat was becoming unbearable. With no other option, he decided to seek help on foot, hoping to find someone who could assist him. After walking for a long distance, Noah spotted a farm. As he approached, he was amazed by the sight that greeted him: An expanse of lush greenery that seemed to stretch on forever. Upon closer inspection, he found it was a vast grove of lychee (荔枝) trees, their branches filled with ripe, red fruits. The sight was so breathtaking that he couldn’t help but take several photographs, capturing the vibrant scene. Just then, a man in his fifties, wearing a large-brimmed hat that protected his face from the sun, approached Noah with a curious expression. It was the owner of the farm, Lucas. After hearing about Noah’s situation, Lucas wasted no time in calling for help to repair Noah’s car. In the meantime, he invited Noah into his cabin to have a rest and escape the scorching sun. Inside the cabin, as they sat and talked, Lucas fetched some of the lychees from his grove and shared them with Noah, who was amazed by their flavor. He had never tasted so sweet, juicy lychees. Lucas talked proudly about his journey of cultivating lychees, from the initial challenges of working with the deserted land to the success of producing a bountiful harvest. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However Lucas’ smile faded, and he sighed deeply. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once back in the city, Noah decided to use his profession to do something for Lucas and his abundant lychees. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 However, Lucas’ smile faded, and he sighed deeply. He explained that despite the abundance of his lychees, he struggled to find buyers who would appreciate their unique flavor and freshness. Many of the local markets were already saturated with lychees from other farms, making it difficult for him to stand out. Noah listened intently, realizing that Lucas’ tale of success was intertwined with challenges that threatened to undermine his hard work. He felt a sense of responsibility to help Lucas overcome these obstacles. Once back in the city, Noah decided to use his profession to do something for Lucas and his abundant lychees. He crafted an engaging article, highlighting the story of Lucas’ farm, the sweetness of his lychees, and the challenges he faced in bringing his produce to market. The article quickly garnered attention, drawing in readers who were eager to support small, local farmers. Noah even organized a lychee tasting event, inviting food bloggers and influencers to sample Lucas’ lychees and share their positive experiences with their followers. It was successful with Lucas’ farm receiving a surge of orders. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一位名叫Noah的记者，在前往加利福尼亚州一个偏远地区执行任务的途中，车子突然抛锚。在烈日下，他不得不徒步寻求帮助，最终发现了一座荔枝园，并遇到了园主Lucas。Lucas不仅热情款待了Noah，还帮助他联系修车事宜。在交谈中，Noah品尝到了Lucas种植的甜美多汁的荔枝，并听取了Lucas讲述他如何克服重重困难，将一片荒芜的土地变成了丰收的果园的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，Lucas的笑容消失了，他深深地叹了口气。”可知，第一段可描写Lucas的忧虑和困境。 ②由第二段首句内容“回到城里后，Noah决定用他的职业为Lucas和他丰富的荔枝做点什么。”可知，第二段可描写Noah回到城市后，如何利用自己的职业为Lucas和他的荔枝做点什么。 2.续写线索：Lucas解释困境——意识到Lucas的问题——Noah写文章——文章吸引读者——组织荔枝品尝活动——收到大量订单 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/make clear ②创作：craft/create ③吸引注意：garner attention/draw attention 情绪类 ①渴望：be eager to/long for ②专注：intently/attentively 【点睛】[高分句型1] He explained that despite the abundance of his lychees, he struggled to find buyers who would appreciate their unique flavor and freshness.
