B All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy. You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house, leave a half written letter on the dining table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,” as she explained. My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother’s house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused, she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better. These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有……倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing” was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered. Now my sister has developed a secondhand love of cleaning windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week. 4. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother? A. She enjoyed removing others’ drinks. B. She became more and more forgetful. C. She preferred to do everything by herself. D. She wanted to keep her house in good order. 5. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother’s house because ______. A. she had already finished them B. she forgot where she had left them C. my mother had taken them away D. someone in my family was holding them 6. The underlined part “Now my sister has developed a secondhand love of cleaning windows” in the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister ______. A. is happy to clean windows B. loves to clean used windows C. develops interest in cleaning windows again D. likes cleaning windows as my mother 7. This passage mainly tells us that A. my mother helped us to form a good habit. B. my family members had a poor memory. C. my wife was surprised when she visited my mother. D. my mother often made us confused. C Australia officially listed koalas (考拉) across its eastern coast as “endangered” on Friday. Conservationists said koala populations had crashed in much of eastern Australia over the past two decades warning that they were now sliding towards extinction. The koala a globally recognized symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife, had been listed as “vulnerable (易受……伤害的)” on the eastern coast just a decade earlier. “We are taking unprecedented (史无前例的) action to protect the koala,” the Minister of Environment, Sussan Ley said, highlighting a recent government promise of Aus $50 million to protect and recover koala habitats. Environmentalists welcomed the koalas’ new status but blamed Australia’s failure to protect the species so far. “Koulas have gone from no-listing to vulnerable to endangered within a decade. That is a shockingly fast decline,” said WWF — Australia conservation scientist Stuart Blanch. “Today’s decision is welcome, but it won’t stop koalas from sliding towards extinction unless it’s accompanied by stronger laws to protect their forest homes.” Alexia Wellbelove of the Humane Society International said east coast koalas could be extinet by 2050 if no action was taken. “We can’t afford any more clearing,” she said. “The extinction of koalas does not have to happen,” she added, “we must stop allowing their homes to be cleared for mines, new houses, agricultural projects and industrial logging (伐木).” Australia’s koalas had been living on a “knife edge” even before the “Black Summer” bushfires of 2019-2020 because of land-clearing, drought, disease, car strikes and dog attacks, said Josey Sharrad, wildlife campaign manager at the International Fund for Animal Welfare. “We should never have allowed things to get to the point where we are at risk of losing a national icon,” Sharrad said. “The bushfires were the final straw. This must be a wake-up call to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect critical habitat from development and land-clearing, and seriously deal with the impacts of climate change.” 8. Why did environmentalists welcome the koalas’ new status? A. This would stop koalas from extinction. B. They may have time to recover koala habitats. C. They could blame the government’s failure. D. This could lead to action to protect koalas. 9. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph? A. The koalas’ new status was welcomed. B. Australian government should be blamed. C. Australia hasn’t been successful in protecting species. D. Koalas will no longer be in danger. 10. How does Sharrad feel about the present state of Koalas? A. Frightened. B. Concerned. C. Disappointed. D. Satisfied. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Australia Lists Koalas as Endangered B. Koalas Will Live on a Knife Edge C. Koalas: Australia’s National Icon D. Bushfires: Koala Killers in Australia D The demanding process of forming our thoughts, letter by letter, on the page is becoming a relic of the past in our screen-dominated world, where typed messages have replaced handwritten letters. However, giving up handwriting may come at a significant cost. Both handwriting and typing involve moving our hands and fingers to create words on a page. But handwriting seems to more deeply engage the brain in ways that support learning. For example, to type “tap”, your fingers don’t have to trace out the form of the letters — they just make relatively simple and similar movements. In comparison, it takes a lot more brainpower, as well as cross-talk between brain areas, to write than type. It lets you make connections between your body and what you’re seeing and hearing, which might give the mind more footholds for accessing a given concept (概念) or idea. “When kids write letters, they’re just messy,” says Sophia Vinci-Booher, an educational neuroscientist at Vanderbilt University. As kids practice writing “A”, each form is different, and that variability helps promote their conceptual understanding of the letter. They learn to recognize letters better when seeing variable handwritten examples, compared with similar typed examples. This helps develop areas of the brain used during reading in children and adults, Vinci-Booher found. “This could be one of the ways that early experiences actually translate to long-term life outcomes,” she says. Abandoning handwriting could mean that those skills don’t get developed as well, which could damage kids’ ability to learn down the road. “If young children are not receiving any handwriting training, which is very good brain stimulation (刺激), then their brains simply won’t reach their full potential,” says Meer, a psychologist and study co-author at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. 12. What is the difference between handwriting and typing from the passage? A. Typing is better for learning concepts. B. Handwriting engages more brain areas. C. Typing fails to involve hands movements. D. Handwriting is faster for accessing ideas. 13. What can we learn from Sophia Vinci-Booher? A. Variable handwritten letters do harm to kids’ handwriting. B. Writing “A” promotes kids’ conceptual understanding. C. Practicing typing helps recognize letters better. D. Early handwriting practice benefits kids. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Advantages of handwriting over typing. B. Reasons for choosing handwriting. C. A call for improving handwriting. D. Effects of giving up handwriting. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards handwriting? A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Want a relaxing but fun challenge at home? ____16____ Puzzles have been around for more than 250 years and the challenge of working out where each piece goes and carefully recreating the scene on the box lid can keep you busy for hours, days or even weeks.

You will have to use a wheelchair.” Unprepared for the doctor’s judgment, I heard his words fall heavily on my ears, numbing my soul. My serious car accident had left me unconscious and in critical condition. I awakened to find both leg: wrapped in casts (石膏). Lying in my bed motionless and relying on prayer, I wondered how I could give my ten-year-old son hope that Mom would heal. He’d been cheerful on every visit, but I saw the fear in his eyes. The thought of having a totally handicapped (残疾的) mother was weighing heavily on his little shoulder. He needed the ray of hope that I would not be in a wheelchair forever. Just maybe, I thought, I could use this experience to teach what to do when disasters strike. I needed something besides my physical healing to sink my Irish stubbornness into—it’s that personality that kept me going through the toughest challenge of my life It didn’t take me long to become impatient with the pace the doctors were willing to go with me. I determined to learn everything they showed me. I needed to make things happen my way. And being confined (限制) to a wheelchair the rest of my life didn’t fit into my plans. At first, I taught myself to move from the bed to the wheelchair. I made tiny movements for weeks, afraid of falling, but more afraid to just lie in bed. I reached a point where my arms were strong enough to carry me into the chair. Getting out of the chair and back into bed proved more difficult, but I soon developed a method of grabbing the sheets. I often wondered what the nurses and doctors would have done if they’d seen me struggling on my own. Once sure I could return myself to the bed from the wheelchair, I began to use a walker that had been left in my room by a former hospital roommate. 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。 Every night, when I knew I wouldn’t be interrupted (打扰), I would start to train. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It came time to share my achievements with the person most important to me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 ACCAB 6-10 CCBCB 11-15 ACABC 16-20 BBACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年普通高中高二上学期期中教学质量检测 英语 注意事项： 1. 答题前，务必在答题卷规定的地方填写自己的姓名、考号和座位号。 2. 答第Ⅰ卷时，每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卷上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；答第Ⅱ卷时，必须使用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔在答题卷上书写，要求字体工整，笔迹清晰。在指定的答题区域作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上答题无效。 3. 满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷 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.

It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy. You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house, leave a half written letter on the dining table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,” as she explained. My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother’s house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused, she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better. These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有……倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing” was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered. Now my sister has developed a secondhand love of cleaning windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week. 4. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother? A. She enjoyed removing others’ drinks. B. She became more and more forgetful. C. She preferred to do everything by herself. D. She wanted to keep her house in good order. 5. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother’s house because ______. A. she had already finished them B. she forgot where she had left them C. my mother had taken them away D. someone in my family was holding them 6. The underlined part “Now my sister has developed a secondhand love of cleaning windows” in the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister ______. A. is happy to clean windows B. loves to clean used windows C. develops interest in cleaning windows again D. likes cleaning windows as my mother 7. This passage mainly tells us that A my mother helped us to form a good habit. B. my family members had a poor memory. C. my wife was surprised when she visited my mother. D. my mother often made us confused. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了母亲喜欢干净整洁,在她的影响下,我们全家都养成了这个习惯。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy. (非常重要的一点是，她的房子应该始终保持干净整洁。)”可知母亲希望她的房子整天保持清洁有序。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house, leave a half-written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had . ‘put it back where it belonged,’ as she explained. (在我母亲的家里，你哪怕只是转身片刻，把一封写了一半的信留在餐厅的桌子上，或者把一本翻开的杂志放在椅子上，等你再转过身来就会发现，母亲已经像她所解释的那样，“把东西放回该放的地方了”。)”可知，我妻子找不到饼干是母亲把它拿走放回了原位置。故选C项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据所划线句子后半句“and my brother does the cleaning in his house. (而且我哥哥也在家里打扫卫生。)”可知，母亲喜欢干净整洁,在她的影响下,我们全家都养成了这个习惯，根据上下文可以判断出，我姐姐和我妈妈一样喜欢干净的窗户。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy. (母亲的一生中，都再让自己的孩子保持忙碌，让他们养成了打扫卫生的习惯。她的房子必须时刻保持干净整洁，这一点很重要。)”以及最后一段“Now my sister has developed a secondhand love of cleaning windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week. (现在我姐姐养成了打扫窗户的习惯，我哥哥则在自己家里打扫卫生，也许是为了避免成为被人嫌弃不抬脚打扫的那个人。我尽量不去想太多，但在这之后我也开始每周给家具掸一次灰。)” 可知，本文主要讲述了母亲喜欢干净整洁,在她的影响下,我们全家都养成了这个好习惯。故选A项。 C Australia officially listed koalas (考拉) across its eastern coast as “endangered” on Friday. Conservationists said koala populations had crashed in much of eastern Australia over the past two decades, warning that they were now sliding towards extinction. The koala a globally recognized symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife, had been listed as “vulnerable (易受……伤害的)” on the eastern coast just a decade earlier. “We are taking unprecedented (史无前例的) action to protect the koala,” the Minister of Environment, Sussan Ley said, highlighting a recent government promise of Aus $50 million to protect and recover koala habitats. Environmentalists welcomed the koalas’ new status but blamed Australia’s failure to protect the species so far. “Koulas have gone from no-listing to vulnerable to endangered within a decade. That is a shockingly fast decline,” said WWF — Australia conservation scientist Stuart Blanch. “Today’s decision is welcome, but it won’t stop koalas from sliding towards extinction unless it’s accompanied by stronger laws to protect their forest homes.” Alexia Wellbelove of the Humane Society International said east coast koalas could be extinet by 2050 if no action was taken. “We can’t afford any more clearing,” she said. “The extinction of koalas does not have to happen,” she added, “we must stop allowing their homes to be cleared for mines, new houses, agricultural projects and industrial logging (伐木).” Australia’s koalas had been living on a “knife edge” even before the “Black Summer” bushfires of 2019-2020 because of land-clearing, drought, disease, car strikes and dog attacks, said Josey Sharrad, wildlife campaign manager at the International Fund for Animal Welfare. “We should never have allowed things to get to the point where we are at risk of losing a national icon,” Sharrad said. “The bushfires were the final straw. This must be a wake-up call to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect critical habitat from development and land-clearing, and seriously deal with the impacts of climate change.” 8. Why did environmentalists welcome the koalas’ new status? A. This would stop koalas from extinction. B. They may have time to recover koala habitats. C. They could blame the government’s failure. D. This could lead to action to protect koalas. 9. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph? A. The koalas’ new status was welcomed. B. Australian government should be blamed. C. Australia hasn’t been successful in protecting species. D. Koalas will no longer be in danger. 10. How does Sharrad feel about the present state of Koalas? A. Frightened. B. Concerned. C. Disappointed. D. Satisfied. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Australia Lists Koalas as Endangered B. Koalas Will Live on a Knife Edge C. Koalas: Australia’s National Icon D. Bushfires: Koala Killers in Australia 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述澳大利亚将考拉列为濒危物种，并分析原因，呼吁尽快采取措施。 8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The koala a globally recognized symbol of Australia’s unique wildlife, had been listed as “vulnerable (易受……伤害的)” on the eastern coast just a decade earlier. “We are taking unprecedented (史无前例的) action to protect the koala,” the Minister of Environment, Sussan Ley said, highlighting a recent government promise of Aus $50 million to protect and recover koala habitats. (考拉是全球公认的澳大利亚独特的野生动物的象征，十年前在东海岸被列为“易危物种”。环境部长Sussan Ley说：“我们正在采取前所未有的行动来保护考拉，并强调了政府最近承诺的5000万澳元来保护和恢复考拉栖息地”。)”及第三段中““Koulas have gone from no-listing to vulnerable to endangered within a decade. That is a shockingly fast decline,” said WWF— Australia conservation scientist Stuart Blanch. “Today’s decision is welcome, but it won’t stop koalas from sliding towards extinction unless it’s accompanied by stronger laws to protect their forest homes.” (世界自然基金会澳大利亚保护科学家Stuart Blanch说：“考拉在十年内已经从不在列表中到易受威胁。这是一个令人震惊的速降。今天的决定是受欢迎的，但它不会阻止考拉走向灭绝，除非它伴随着更强大的法律来保护它们的森林家园。”)”可知，环境保护主义者欢迎考拉的新地位是因为这可能会导致保护考拉的行动。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第三段“Environmentalists welcomed the koalas’ new status but blamed Australia’s failure to protect the species so far. “Koulas have gone from no-listing to vulnerable to endangered within a decade. That is a shockingly fast decline,” said WWF — Australia conservation scientist Stuart Blanch. “Today’s decision is welcome, but it won’t stop koalas from sliding towards extinction unless it’s accompanied by stronger laws to protect their forest homes.” (环保人士欢迎考拉的新地位，但指责澳大利亚迄今为止未能有效保护该物种。“考拉在十年内从无保护到易危再到濒危，这是一个令人震惊的快速衰退，”世界自然基金会澳大利亚分会的保护科学家斯图尔特·布兰奇说。“今天的决定是受欢迎的，但如果不能伴随更强有力的法律来保护它们的森林家园，就不会阻止考拉滑向灭绝。”)”可知，第三段的主旨大意是澳大利亚在保护物种方面并不成功。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““We should never have allowed things to get to the point where we are at risk of losing a national icon,” Sharrad said. “The bushfires were the final straw. This must be a wake-up call to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect critical habitat from development and land-clearing, and seriously deal with the impacts of climate change.” (Sharrad说：“我们永远不应该让事情发展到我们有可能失去国家象征的地步。森林大火是最后一根稻草。这必须为澳大利亚和政府敲响警钟，要求他们加快行动，保护关键栖息地免受开发和土地清理的影响，并认真应对气候变化的影响。”)”可知，Sharrad认为应该加快行动，保护考拉及其栖息地。故推知Sharrad对考拉的现状是担心的。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Australia officially listed koalas (考拉) across its eastern coast as “endangered” on Friday. (周五，澳大利亚正式将东海岸的考拉列为“濒危物种”。)”可知，文章主要介绍澳大利亚将考拉列为“濒危物种”，并分析原因。故文章的标题是“Australia Lists Koalas as Endangered (澳大利亚将考拉列为濒危物种)”。故选A。 D The demanding process of forming our thoughts, letter by letter, on the page is becoming a relic of the past in our screen-dominated world, where typed messages have replaced handwritten letters. However, giving up handwriting may come at a significant cost. Both handwriting and typing involve moving our hands and fingers to create words on a page. But handwriting seems to more deeply engage the brain in ways that support learning. For example, to type “tap”, your fingers don’t have to trace out the form of the letters — they just make relatively simple and similar movements. In comparison, it takes a lot more brainpower, as well as cross-talk between brain areas, to write than type. It lets you make connections between your body and what you’re seeing and hearing, which might give the mind more footholds for accessing a given concept (概念) or idea. “When kids write letters, they’re just messy,” says Sophia Vinci-Booher, an educational neuroscientist at Vanderbilt University. As kids practice writing “A”, each form is different, and that variability helps promote their conceptual understanding of the letter. They learn to recognize letters better when seeing variable handwritten examples, compared with similar typed examples. This helps develop areas of the brain used during reading in children and adults, Vinci-Booher found. “This could be one of the ways that early experiences actually translate to long-term life outcomes,” she says. Abandoning handwriting could mean that those skills don’t get developed as well, which could damage kids’ ability to learn down the road. “If young children are not receiving any handwriting training, which is very good brain stimulation (刺激), then their brains simply won’t reach their full potential,” says Meer, a psychologist and study co-author at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. 12. What is the difference between handwriting and typing from the passage? A. Typing is better for learning concepts. B. Handwriting engages more brain areas. C. Typing fails to involve hands movements. D. Handwriting is faster for accessing ideas. 13. What can we learn from Sophia Vinci-Booher? A. Variable handwritten letters do harm to kids’ handwriting. B. Writing “A” promotes kids’ conceptual understanding. C. Practicing typing helps recognize letters better. D. Early handwriting practice benefits kids. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Advantages of handwriting over typing. B. Reasons for choosing handwriting. C. A call for improving handwriting. D. Effects of giving up handwriting. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards handwriting? A. Unclear. B. Negative. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要就手写与打字的区别、手写对学习和大脑发展的积极影响，以及放弃手写可能带来的后果进行了阐述，并引用了相关研究和专家观点进行说明。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“But handwriting seems to more deeply engage the brain in ways that support learning. For example, to type “tap”, your fingers don’t have to trace out the form of the letters — they just make relatively simple and similar movements. In comparison, it takes a lot more brainpower, as well as cross-talk between brain areas, to write than type. (但手写似乎更深入地参与大脑，以支持学习。例如，“tap”，你的手指不需要描摹字母的形状——它们只需要做相对简单和相似的动作。相比之下，写字比打字需要更多的脑力，以及大脑区域之间的交流。)”可知，手写比打字更多地调动了大脑区域。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As kids practice writing “A”, each form is different, and that variability helps promote their conceptual understanding of the letter. They learn to recognize letters better when seeing variable handwritten examples, compared with similar typed examples. This helps develop areas of the brain used during reading in children and adults, Vinci-Booher found. “This could be one of the ways that early experiences actually translate to long-term life outcomes,” she says.(孩子们练习写字母“A”时，每个人的写法都各不相同，这种差异性有助于促进他们对字母的概念理解。与看到相似的打印字体相比，孩子们在看到手写变体时能更好地识别字母。这有助于发展儿童和成人在阅读时使用的大脑区域，Vinci-Booher发现。“这可能是早期经历事实上转化为长期生活结果的途径之一，”她说。)”可知，早期的字母书写练习助于发展儿童在阅读时使用的大脑区域，对孩子有益。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Abandoning handwriting could mean that those skills don’t get developed as well, which could damage kids’ ability to learn down the road. “If young children are not receiving any handwriting training, which is very good brain stimulation (刺激), then their brains simply won’t reach their full potential,” says Meer, a psychologist and study co-author at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. (放弃书写可能意味着这些技能得不到发展，这可能会损害孩子今后的学习能力。挪威科技大学的心理学家和研究合著者米尔说：“如果幼儿没有接受任何手写训练，这是一种非常好的大脑刺激，那么他们的大脑就不会充分发挥其潜力。”)”可知，最后一段是关于放弃手写的影响。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But handwriting seems to more deeply engage the brain in ways that support learning. (但手写似乎更深入地参与大脑，以支持学习。)”和最后一段中“Abandoning handwriting could mean that those skills don’t get developed as well, which could damage kids’ ability to learn down the road.(放弃书写可能意味着这些技能得不到发展，这可能会损害孩子今后的学习能力。)”可推知，作者对于手写是有益的，持支持态度。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Want a relaxing but fun challenge at home? ____16____ Puzzles have been around for more than 250 years and the challenge of working out where each piece goes and carefully recreating the scene on the box lid can keep you busy for hours, days or even weeks.

You will have to use a wheelchair.” Unprepared for the doctor’s judgment, I heard his words fall heavily on my ears, numbing my soul. My serious car accident had left me unconscious and in critical condition. I awakened to find both leg: wrapped in casts (石膏). Lying in my bed motionless and relying on prayer, I wondered how I could give my ten-year-old son hope that Mom would heal. He’d been cheerful on every visit, but I saw the fear in his eyes. The thought of having a totally handicapped (残疾的) mother was weighing heavily on his little shoulder. He needed the ray of hope that I would not be in a wheelchair forever. Just maybe, I thought, I could use this experience to teach what to do when disasters strike. I needed something besides my physical healing to sink my Irish stubbornness into—it’s that personality that kept me going through the toughest challenge of my life It didn’t take me long to become impatient with the pace the doctors were willing to go with me. I determined to learn everything they showed me. I needed to make things happen my way. And being confined (限制) to a wheelchair the rest of my life didn’t fit into my plans. At first, I taught myself to move from the bed to the wheelchair. I made tiny movements for weeks, afraid of falling, but more afraid to just lie in bed. I reached a point where my arms were strong enough to carry me into the chair. Getting out of the chair and back into bed proved more difficult, but I soon developed a method of grabbing the sheets. I often wondered what the nurses and doctors would have done if they’d seen me struggling on my own. Once sure I could return myself to the bed from the wheelchair, I began to use a walker that had been left in my room by a former hospital roommate. 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。 Every night, when I knew I wouldn’t be interrupted (打扰), I would start to train. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It came time to share my achievements with the person most important to me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Every night, when I knew I wouldn’t be interrupted (打扰), I would start to train. With each passing day, I became more skilled at moving myself into the chair and sought greater progress. Holding a walking stick, I slowly put my weight on my feet and rose to my feet. Difficult as it was at the very beginning, the phrase “give up” never popped into my mind. Fueled by unwavering self-belief, I persisted in my practice, night after night. And every midnight witnessed my struggle to move another inch farther. Fortunately, all my efforts paid off — I made it! It came the time to share my achievements with the person most important to me. One night, when hearing my son’s footsteps outside, I pulled myself into the chair and dragged myself up. As he opened the door, I mustered the strength and staggered a few steps. Shocked, this little ten-year-old boy stood rooted to the spot. This time, instead of fear, a light of excitement twinkled in my lovely boy’s eyes. “Mommy, you can walk!” he exclaimed, sprinting into my open arms. The moment I heard these words, all of the pain faded, and the power of belief surged in my heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了医生对作者的判决“你再也不能走路了。你得坐轮椅了”。但是作者不服这样的“判决”，顽强与命运抗争，恢复自己的健康，以此给自己十岁的孩子以希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“每天晚上，当我知道我不会被打扰时，我就会开始训练。”可知，第一段可描写作者坚持锻炼的过程以及取得的成就。 ②由第二段首句内容“是时候和对我来说最重要的人分享我的成就了。”可知，第二段可描写作者在儿子面前的表现和儿子的反应以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：坚持锻炼——取得小成就——在儿子面前的表现——儿子惊讶和兴奋——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 坚持：persist in /stick to 回报：pay off/repay 成功：make it/succeed 鼓起：muster/gather 情绪类 惊讶的：shocked/astonished 坚定不移的：unwavering/determined 【点睛】[高分句型1] Difficult as it was at the very beginning, the phrase “give up” never popped into my mind.
