The Horseshoe Falls in the park is undeniably the star attraction, with the waters of the Niagara River plummeting over a 188ft-high drop.

S. president to lose his first reelection bid then return four years later to win back the White House. He has been noted for his reformist agenda and opposition to customs that foreshowed the free-trade movement of the 1890s. But the 22nd and 24th president of the United States is perhaps best known as the only American president to hold the office for two non-consecutive (非连续的) terms. In 1884, Cleveland, defeated opponent James Blaine in a narrow victory. Four years later, He lost his 1888 reelection race focusing on economic policy issues, customs included, but lacking effective management and unity within his party to Republican challenger Benjamin Harrison despite securing the popular vote. However, in an 1892 rematch, Cleveland defeated Harrison to reclaim the office. Cleveland’s failed 1888 reelection campaign against Harrison, for the reason that the campaign was incompetently run on nearly every front, according to Troy Senik, presidential historian, former presidential speechwriter. “He began the race without a campaign manager; delegated most of the electioneering responsibilities to his running mate, Allen Thurman, who, at the age of 74, was not healthy enough to resist the rigors of campaigning; and based the entire race around his proposal to reduce customs, which divided his own Democratic Party and unified the Republicans in opposition,” Senik says. With the economy taking center stage during the campaign and a third-party bid from the newly formed Populist Party Cleveland again claimed victory in 1892, prevailing the popular vote 46 percent to 43 percent over Harrison. Cleveland sailed to a decisive Electoral College win with 277 votes, which indicated that Cleveland won largely mainly because he had been proved prescient on the customs issue. “Woodrow Wilson once wrote of Cleveland that his courses of action were incalculable to the mere politician, simply because they were not based on calculation. Cleveland was never especially beloved, but he was respected,” Senik says, “that was precisely because the public knew that he’d do what he thought was right rather than what he thought was politically expedient.” 4. Why did Cleveland lose his chance of the two consecutive-terms? A. He has no popular support among the Publics. B. The preparation before the election was inadequate. C. He felt a great responsibility as president and was eager to retire. D. Party members lack effective governance and unity within his own party. 5. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph? A. The main contents in 1888 reelection. B. The lack of campaign manager in 1888. C. Effectiveness of the proposal to reduce customs. D. The reason of Cleveland’s failure in 1888 reelection. 6. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “prevailing” in the fourth paragraph? A. Winning. B. Losing. C. Electing. D. Competing. 7. What can we infer from last paragraph? A. Cleveland was loved by a lot of people. B. Cleveland was highly thought of by people. C. Cleveland lost the heart of the public. D. Cleveland put political interests first. C The dining industry is advancing toward greater diversification, specialization and intelligence with the development of society and application of artificial intelligence. From the manual operation of the 1. 0 era to the widespread mechanization of the 2. 0 era, and then to the parallel standardization and digitalization of the 3. 0 era, the dining industry is stepping into a brand new stage: Smart Dining 4. 0. The constant advancements in cooking equipment and related technologies are the key drivers behind the changes in the dining industry. AI is improving our dining experience like never before. Imagine stepping into a restaurant where the hustle and bustle of taking orders is replaced by warm lighting and soothing music. After a simple scanning, the intelligent ordering system can quickly recognize your identity, favorite dishes, dietary preferences, and even your mood, and then tailors the menus to suit individual tastes. That's the power of AI-driven personalized dining. More surprisingly, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are used to create an immersive dining atmosphere. Moreover, AI is making food safety and nutrition a top priority. With the help of technologies, restaurants can now quickly evaluate the quality and safety of ingredients, ensuring that only the best ones make it to your plate. At the same time, AI is playing a crucial role in nutritious meal planning. By analyzing consumers’ dietary habits and health data, AI-powered systems can create personalized meal plans that meet individual health needs. Smart Dining 4. 0 has been enlarging its range. Nevertheless the transformation and upgrading of the dining industry should be in line with the culture of a country: in a way innovation meets tradition. Hence, It is advisable to build a Smart Dining 4. 0 with Chinese characteristics, which can not only meet our desire for a better life, but also help us to inherit (继承) and carry forward the superb traditional Chinese food culture. 8. What’s the feature of the second era of the dining industry? A. Manual operation. B. Artificial intelligentization. C. Widespread mechanization. D. Parallel standardization and digitalization. 9. Which of the following does not match with the Smart Dining 4. 0? A. The hustle and bustle of taking order. B. Tailored menus to suit individual tastes. C. An immersive dining atmosphere. D. A top priority of food safety and nutrition. 10. What’s the author’s purpose to write the last paragraph? A. To emphasize the importance of the culture of a country. B. To indicate the dining industry should be transformed and upgraded. C. To suggest us to build a Smart Dining 4. 0 with Chinese characteristics. D. To call on us to inherit and carry forward of traditional Chinese food culture. 11. Where are we most likely to read this text? A. Textbook. B. Science magazine. C. Science brochure. D. Collection of Modern literature. D Recently, a study covering more than 100,000 people in Northwest China has revealed choosing rice as a staple food may result in a lower risk of obesity. Researchers from Xi’an Jiaotong University collected data from participants aged 35 to 74 from five northwestern regions. The researchers divided the participants into three groups according to their weekly rice and wheat intake. The first group eats rice as staple food, the second group’s staple food is wheat, and the third group consumes both rice and wheat as staple food, with similar frequency. The results show that rice preference may be associated with a lower risk of certain obesity types. Higher wheat intake was associated with higher risks of excessive body fat and central obesity (stomach fat). When wheat lovers changed their staple food to rice five times per week, the participants showed a 36. 5 percent lower risk of normal-weight obesity in men, which refers to people with normal body weight but a high body fat percentage and a 20. 5 percent lower risk of normal-weight central obesity in women. According to the researchers, previous animal studies show that rice protein shows the potential for anti-obesity and triglyceride-lowering effects. Moreover, wheat flour absorbs less water than rice when cooked, partly resulting in a higher energy density (密度) of wheat than rice. A similar result has also been shown in the sixth edition (2020) of the Chinese Food Composition Table. Meanwhile, rice-based dietary patterns often have more fresh vegetables, legumes (豆类), meat and fish. People with wheat preference in Northwest China tend to eat large bowls of noodles with fewer vegetables or less meat. The researchers noted that given the vast territory and diverse ethnic groups present in Northwest China, further studies may be necessary to fully understand the regional specificity and potential underlying reasons for the observed links. 12. How do researchers explain their findings in paragraph3? A. By introducing a concept. B. By using an expert’s words. C. By referring to another study. D. By comparing and listing numbers. 13. What does “A similar result” refer to in paragraph 4? A. Wheat has a higher energy density than rice. B. People with rice preference have a better diet. C. Wheat absorbs less water than rice when cooked. D. Rice protein may have potential anti-obesity function. 14. What will the researchers focus on in the further study? A. What are the reasons for the obesity? B. How many ethnic groups in Northwestern China? C. Will regional diversities affect the results of the study? D. What are the links between vast territory and diverse ethnic groups? 15. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. Rice — lower energy density food B. Wheat — higher energy density food C. Rice as a staple food — a lower risk of obesity D. Wheat as a staple food — a higher risk of obesity 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2. 5 分，满分 12. 5 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why am I always so tired when I go on vacation? Many people feel more tired when they are on vacation. This phenomenon can often be attributed to jet lag. ___16___. ◆ You've got “leisure sickness” ___17___, - and therefore very tired - right before you go on holiday, simply because you have so much to get finished before you leave. Dutch psychologist Ad Vingerhoets from Tilburg University in Holland interviewed 1128 men and 765 women who were in high-powered jobs about getting ill on holiday. Professor Vingerhoets told reporters of the findings: “Likely candidates are people who are consumed with work, who have demanding and high-stress positions, and who have trouble making the transition between a work and non-work environment. ” ◆ You're catching up with sleep Most of us don't get enough sleep in our day-to-day lives. ___18___. Letting your body relax and catch up on that much-needed sleep can leave you feeling more sleepy because you're realising what you're missing in your everyday life in terms of sleep. Professor Dorothy Bruck told ABC. net. au: “The average amount of sleep that adults have is 7. 2 or 7. 3 hours. But when we let people sleep until they can't sleep anymore, the average is 8. 25 hours. ” ◆ You're drinking more on holiday This one is obvious – who doesn't like a beer or a cocktail round the pool? Of course, alcohol makes us sleepy and when you do nod off, it actually interferes with sleep. ___19___. It may be worth considering having a few nights off the wine while you're away, if you can – your body will thank you for it. ◆ ___20___. You may not feel as relaxed in a foreign bed, which can cause the left side of your brain to stay alert for “danger”. The good news is that if you travel regularly, your brain can get better at learning to turn that function off. Good Housekeeping reports that Yuka Sasaki from Brown University told the journal Current Biology: “Humans' brains are very flexible.” A. So heading on holiday and being allowed to sleep as much as you like can be a revelation B. Your sleeping quality won't be good, feeling less rested than on an alcohol-free night C. But there are often other reasons why you need to sleep more than usual D. You'll be on high alert when you're sleeping in an unfamiliar place E. You may find yourself burning out at work F. Alcohol makes us sleep deeper and longer G. Traveling often allows your brains to relax 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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 You might have thought that the world’s longest-serving lifeguard would be found on a sunny beach in California or Australia.

Red zigzags of lightning gleamed here and there. There was a sound of far-away rumbling. A warm wind flowed over the grass, bent the trees, and stirred up the dust. In a minute there would be a real rainstorm. Fyokla a little beggar-girl of six, was running through the village, looking for Terenty — the cobbler (修鞋匠). The white-haired, barefoot child was pale with her eyes wide-open and lips trembling. She asked every one she met but no one answered. They were all occupied with the approaching storm and hid in their shelters. At last, someone told her Terenty was at the kitchen-gardens. She ran to find Terenty. The tall old man with a thin face, very long legs, and bare feet, dressed in a worn-out jacket, was standing near the vegetable plots. “Uncle Terenty!” the girl addressed him. Terenty bent down to Fyokla, and his face was overspread with a smile. “Ah! Fyokla, What was wrong?” he asked, lisping tenderly. “Uncle Terenty,” replied Fyokla, with a sob, dragging at the lapel of the cobbler’s coat. “Brother Danilka stuck his hand into a hole in a tree in the Count’s Copse and couldn’t get it out.” Terenty also learnt Danilka just wanted to get a cuckoo’s egg out of the hole for his sister. Terenty shook his head and spat deliberately, but determined to offer help. He came out of the kitchen-garden and began striding down the village street. He walked quickly without stopping or looking around, as though he were pushed roughly from behind or afraid of pursuit. Fyokla could hardly catch him. “Holy, holy, holy…” whispered Fyokla, hurrying after Terenty. They came out of the village and turned along the dusty road towards the Count’s Copse which was about a mile and a half away. The clouds had covered the sun, and soon it grew totally dark. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para. 1: The first rain-drops, big and heavy, fell on Fyokla’s cheek and slid like a tear down her chin. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: But at last they went into the Count’s Copse. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★考试结束前 2024 学年第一学期浙江星辰联盟期中联考 高二年级英语学科 试题 考生须知： 1. 本卷共 10 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。 选择题部分 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。 例：How much is the shirt ? £19. 15 B. £9. 18 C. £ 9. 15 答案是 C。 1.

(尼亚加拉公园是一个不需要介绍的目的地。不可否认，公园里的马蹄瀑布是最吸引人的景点，尼亚加拉河的水从188英尺高的地方直坠而下。虽然这个自然奇观确实令人叹为观止，但它绝不是参观该地区的唯一理由。在公园里有许多同样令人印象深刻的自然和历史体验。)”可知，文章主要介绍了尼亚加拉公园的几个主要景点和活动，这些介绍都是为了吸引读者对尼亚加拉公园的兴趣，并鼓励他们前往游览。因此，文章的目的是吸引游客到公园。故选A。 B President Cleveland is the only U. S. president to lose his first reelection bid then return four years later to win back the White House. He has been noted for his reformist agenda and opposition to customs that foreshowed the free-trade movement of the 1890s. But the 22nd and 24th president of the United States is perhaps best known as the only American president to hold the office for two non-consecutive (非连续的) terms. In 1884, Cleveland, defeated opponent James Blaine in a narrow victory. Four years later, He lost his 1888 reelection race focusing on economic policy issues, customs included, but lacking effective management and unity within his party to Republican challenger Benjamin Harrison despite securing the popular vote. However, in an 1892 rematch, Cleveland defeated Harrison to reclaim the office. Cleveland’s failed 1888 reelection campaign against Harrison, for the reason that the campaign was incompetently run on nearly every front, according to Troy Senik, presidential historian, former presidential speechwriter. “He began the race without a campaign manager; delegated most of the electioneering responsibilities to his running mate, Allen Thurman, who, at the age of 74, was not healthy enough to resist the rigors of campaigning; and based the entire race around his proposal to reduce customs, which divided his own Democratic Party and unified the Republicans in opposition,” Senik says. With the economy taking center stage during the campaign and a third-party bid from the newly formed Populist Party Cleveland again claimed victory in 1892, prevailing the popular vote 46 percent to 43 percent over Harrison. Cleveland sailed to a decisive Electoral College win with 277 votes, which indicated that Cleveland won largely mainly because he had been proved prescient on the customs issue. “Woodrow Wilson once wrote of Cleveland that his courses of action were incalculable to the mere politician, simply because they were not based on calculation. Cleveland was never especially beloved, but he was respected,” Senik says, “that was precisely because the public knew that he’d do what he thought was right rather than what he thought was politically expedient.” 4. Why did Cleveland lose his chance of the two consecutive-terms? A. He has no popular support among the Publics. B. The preparation before the election was inadequate. C. He felt a great responsibility as president and was eager to retire. D. Party members lack effective governance and unity within his own party. 5. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph? A. The main contents in 1888 reelection. B. The lack of campaign manager in 1888. C. Effectiveness of the proposal to reduce customs. D. The reason of Cleveland’s failure in 1888 reelection. 6. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “prevailing” in the fourth paragraph? A. Winning. B. Losing. C. Electing. D. Competing. 7. What can we infer from last paragraph? A. Cleveland was loved by a lot of people. B. Cleveland was highly thought of by people. C. Cleveland lost the heart of the public. D. Cleveland put political interests first. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。作者主要介绍了美国总统Grover Cleveland的政治生涯，特别是他作为唯一一位非连续两任美国总统的独特地位，以及他在1884年、1888年和1892年总统选举中的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In 1884, Cleveland, defeated opponent James Blaine in a narrow victory. Four years later, He lost his 1888 reelection race focusing on economic policy issues, customs included, but lacking effective management and unity within his party to Republican challenger Benjamin Harrison despite securing the popular vote.(1884年，克利夫兰以微弱优势击败了对手詹姆斯·布莱恩。四年后，尽管他在1888年的连任竞选中聚焦于经济政策问题（包括关税问题），但由于党内缺乏有效的管理和团结，他输给了共和党挑战者本杰明·哈里森，尽管他赢得了普选票)”可知，克利夫兰竞选失败的原因是党内成员缺乏有效的治理和团结。故选D项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Cleveland’s failed 1888 reelection campaign against Harrison, for the reason that the campaign was incompetently run on nearly every front, according to Troy Senik, presidential historian, former presidential speechwriter. “He began the race without a campaign manager; delegated most of the electioneering responsibilities to his running mate, Allen Thurman, who, at the age of 74, was not healthy enough to resist the rigors of campaigning; and based the entire race around his proposal to reduce customs, which divided his own Democratic Party and unified the Republicans in opposition,” Senik says.(根据总统历史学家、前总统演讲稿撰写人Troy Senik的说法，克利夫兰在1888年与哈里森的连任竞选中失败，原因是这场竞选在几乎每一条战线上都运行得不称职。“他在没有竞选经理的情况下开始竞选；他将大部分竞选职责委托给了74岁的竞选伙伴Allen Thurman，后者的健康状况已不足以抵御竞选活动的严酷；整个竞选都围绕着他减少关税的提议展开，这一提议分裂了他所在的民主党，却使反对他的共和党团结起来。”塞尼克说道)”可知，本段主要介绍了克利夫兰1888年连任失败的原因。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“With the economy taking center stage during the campaign and a third-party bid from the newly formed Populist Party Cleveland again claimed victory in 1892(随着经济问题成为竞选的中心议题，以及新成立的民粹党以第三党身份参加竞选，克利夫兰在1892年再次取得胜利)”可知，此次竞选，克利夫兰获胜了，推知“prevailing the popular vote 46 percent to 43 percent over Harrison”应是“以46%对43%的票数击败了哈里森”所以prevailing应是“赢得”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Woodrow Wilson once wrote of Cleveland that his courses of action were incalculable to the mere politician, simply because they were not based on calculation. Cleveland was never especially beloved, but he was respected,” Senik says, “that was precisely because the public knew that he’d do what he thought was right rather than what he thought was politically expedient. ”(“Woodrow Wilson曾这样评价克利夫兰，他的行动方针对于纯粹的政治家来说是无法估量的，因为这些方针没有经过深思熟虑。克利夫兰从来没有受到特别的爱戴，但他受到尊重，”塞尼克说，“这恰恰是因为公众知道他会做他认为正确的事，而不是他认为的政治权宜之计。”)”可知，由本段可推出克利夫兰受到人们的高度评价。故选B项。 C The dining industry is advancing toward greater diversification, specialization and intelligence with the development of society and application of artificial intelligence. From the manual operation of the 1. 0 era to the widespread mechanization of the 2. 0 era, and then to the parallel standardization and digitalization of the 3. 0 era, the dining industry is stepping into a brand new stage: Smart Dining 4. 0. The constant advancements in cooking equipment and related technologies are the key drivers behind the changes in the dining industry. AI is improving our dining experience like never before. Imagine stepping into a restaurant where the hustle and bustle of taking orders is replaced by warm lighting and soothing music. After a simple scanning, the intelligent ordering system can quickly recognize your identity, favorite dishes, dietary preferences, and even your mood, and then tailors the menus to suit individual tastes. That's the power of AI-driven personalized dining. More surprisingly, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are used to create an immersive dining atmosphere. Moreover, AI is making food safety and nutrition a top priority. With the help of technologies, restaurants can now quickly evaluate the quality and safety of ingredients, ensuring that only the best ones make it to your plate. At the same time, AI is playing a crucial role in nutritious meal planning. By analyzing consumers’ dietary habits and health data, AI-powered systems can create personalized meal plans that meet individual health needs. Smart Dining 4. 0 has been enlarging its range. Nevertheless, the transformation and upgrading of the dining industry should be in line with the culture of a country: in a way innovation meets tradition. Hence, It is advisable to build a Smart Dining 4. 0 with Chinese characteristics, which can not only meet our desire for a better life, but also help us to inherit (继承) and carry forward the superb traditional Chinese food culture. 8.

Researchers from Xi’an Jiaotong University collected data from participants aged 35 to 74 from five northwestern regions. The researchers divided the participants into three groups according to their weekly rice and wheat intake. The first group eats rice as staple food, the second group’s staple food is wheat, and the third group consumes both rice and wheat as staple food, with similar frequency. The results show that rice preference may be associated with a lower risk of certain obesity types. Higher wheat intake was associated with higher risks of excessive body fat and central obesity (stomach fat). When wheat lovers changed their staple food to rice five times per week, the participants showed a 36. 5 percent lower risk of normal-weight obesity in men, which refers to people with normal body weight but a high body fat percentage and a 20. 5 percent lower risk of normal-weight central obesity in women. According to the researchers, previous animal studies show that rice protein shows the potential for anti-obesity and triglyceride-lowering effects. Moreover, wheat flour absorbs less water than rice when cooked, partly resulting in a higher energy density (密度) of wheat than rice. A similar result has also been shown in the sixth edition (2020) of the Chinese Food Composition Table. Meanwhile, rice-based dietary patterns often have more fresh vegetables, legumes (豆类), meat and fish. People with wheat preference in Northwest China tend to eat large bowls of noodles with fewer vegetables or less meat. The researchers noted that given the vast territory and diverse ethnic groups present in Northwest China, further studies may be necessary to fully understand the regional specificity and potential underlying reasons for the observed links. 12. How do researchers explain their findings in paragraph3? A. By introducing a concept. B. By using an expert’s words. C. By referring to another study. D. By comparing and listing numbers. 13. What does “A similar result” refer to in paragraph 4? A. Wheat has a higher energy density than rice. B. People with rice preference have a better diet. C. Wheat absorbs less water than rice when cooked. D. Rice protein may have potential anti-obesity function. 14 What will the researchers focus on in the further study? A. What are the reasons for the obesity? B. How many ethnic groups in Northwestern China? C. Will regional diversities affect the results of the study? D. What are the links between vast territory and diverse ethnic groups? 15. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. Rice — lower energy density food B. Wheat — higher energy density food C. Rice as a staple food — a lower risk of obesity D. Wheat as a staple food — a higher risk of obesity 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文主要讲述了研究人员对中国西北地区100000多人进行的一项研究发现，选择大米作为主食可能会降低患肥胖症的风险，并解释了为什么大米作为主食可能会降低患肥胖症的风险。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The results show that rice preference may be associated with a lower risk of certain obesity types.

Many people feel more tired when they are on vacation. This phenomenon can often be attributed to jet lag. ___16___. ◆ You've got “leisure sickness” ___17___ - and therefore very tired - right before you go on holiday, simply because you have so much to get finished before you leave. Dutch psychologist Ad Vingerhoets from Tilburg University in Holland interviewed 1128 men and 765 women who were in high-powered jobs about getting ill on holiday. Professor Vingerhoets told reporters of the findings: “Likely candidates are people who are consumed with work, who have demanding and high-stress positions, and who have trouble making the transition between a work and non-work environment. ” ◆ You're catching up with sleep Most of us don't get enough sleep in our day-to-day lives. ___18___. Letting your body relax and catch up on that much-needed sleep can leave you feeling more sleepy because you're realising what you're missing in your everyday life in terms of sleep. Professor Dorothy Bruck told ABC. net. au: “The average amount of sleep that adults have is 7. 2 or 7. 3 hours. But when we let people sleep until they can't sleep anymore, the average is 8. 25 hours. ” ◆ You're drinking more on holiday This one is obvious – who doesn't like a beer or a cocktail round the pool? Of course, alcohol makes us sleepy and when you do nod off, it actually interferes with sleep. ___19___. It may be worth considering having a few nights off the wine while you're away, if you can – your body will thank you for it. ◆ ___20___. You may not feel as relaxed in a foreign bed, which can cause the left side of your brain to stay alert for “danger”. The good news is that if you travel regularly, your brain can get better at learning to turn that function off. Good Housekeeping reports that Yuka Sasaki from Brown University told the journal Current Biology: “Humans' brains are very flexible.” A. So heading on holiday and being allowed to sleep as much as you like can be a revelation B. Your sleeping quality won't be good, feeling less rested than on an alcohol-free night C. But there are often other reasons why you need to sleep more than usual D. You'll be on high alert when you're sleeping in an unfamiliar place E. You may find yourself burning out at work F.

(运用了现在分词作状语) 第二节 （满分 25 分） 47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 A dark leaden-coloured mass was creeping over the sky towards the sun in the early morning. Red zigzags of lightning gleamed here and there. There was a sound of far-away rumbling. A warm wind flowed over the grass, bent the trees, and stirred up the dust. In a minute there would be a real rainstorm. Fyokla, a little beggar-girl of six, was running through the village, looking for Terenty — the cobbler (修鞋匠). The white-haired, barefoot child was pale with her eyes wide-open and lips trembling. She asked every one she met but no one answered. They were all occupied with the approaching storm and hid in their shelters. At last, someone told her Terenty was at the kitchen-gardens. She ran to find Terenty. The tall old man with a thin face, very long legs, and bare feet, dressed in a worn-out jacket, was standing near the vegetable plots. “Uncle Terenty!” the girl addressed him. Terenty bent down to Fyokla, and his face was overspread with a smile. “Ah! Fyokla, What was wrong?” he asked, lisping tenderly. “Uncle Terenty,” replied Fyokla, with a sob, dragging at the lapel of the cobbler’s coat. “Brother Danilka stuck his hand into a hole in a tree in the Count’s Copse and couldn’t get it out.” Terenty also learnt Danilka just wanted to get a cuckoo’s egg out of the hole for his sister. Terenty shook his head and spat deliberately, but determined to offer help. He came out of the kitchen-garden and began striding down the village street. He walked quickly without stopping or looking around, as though he were pushed roughly from behind or afraid of pursuit. Fyokla could hardly catch him. “Holy, holy, holy…” whispered Fyokla, hurrying after Terenty. They came out of the village and turned along the dusty road towards the Count’s Copse which was about a mile and a half away. The clouds had covered the sun, and soon it grew totally dark. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para. 1: The first rain-drops, big and heavy, fell on Fyokla’s cheek and slid like a tear down her chin. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: But at last they went into the Count’s Copse. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The first rain-drops, big and heavy, fell on Fyokla’s cheek and slid like a tear down her chin. She shivered, but her determination to find help for her brother kept her going. The rain began to pour down more heavily. Terenty, however, seemed unaffected by the weather. He continued to stride forward, his eyes fixed on the distant Copse. Fyokla struggled to keep up, her small feet slipping in the mud, but she never let go of Terenty’s coat. The thunder roared, and lightning lit up the sky, which made their travel more frightening. But at last they went into the Count’s Copse. The darkness made it difficult to see. Terenty used his hands to feel his way through the underbrush. They could hear Danilka’s cries for help. Finally, they found him, stuck and trembling, his hand wedged deep in the hole. Terenty knelt down and carefully began to work on freeing Danilka’s hand. Fyokla stood by, her heart pounding, praying for her brother’s safety. After a few tense minutes, Terenty succeeded in pulling Danilka’s hand out. The boy cried out in pain and relief, and Fyokla threw her arms around him, tears of joy streaming down her face. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述小乞丐女孩Fyokla为救手卡在树洞里的弟弟Danilka，冒雨求助于修鞋匠Terenty，两人一同前往树林救援。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“第一颗又大又重的雨滴落在Fyokla的脸颊上，像眼泪一样顺着她的下巴滑落。”可知，第一段将描写Fyokla和Terenty在暴雨中艰难前行，但Fyokla坚定决心，紧随Terenty。 ②由第二段首句“但最后他们还是进入了Count’s Copse。”可知，第二段将叙述他们进入树林后，Terenty如何找到并解救Danilka，以及Fyokla对此的反应。 2.续写线索：暴雨降临——艰难前行——进入树林——寻找Danilka——解救成功——Fyokla激动 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①颤抖：shiver/tremble/quiver ②努力跟上：struggle to keep up/make efforts to keep up ③进入：go into/enter 情绪类： ①令人害怕的：frightening/dreadful/terrifying ②高兴：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] He continued to stride forward, his eyes fixed on the distant Copse.
