However, according to some researches, these methods don’t work for everyone. Fortunately, there is another treatment available: transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS, which uses magnets to stimulate regions of the brain. TMS treatments are given according to a specific schedule, including twenty to thirty sessions over a period of six weeks. During each forty- minute treatment session, a trained physician places a device on the left side of the person’s head. This device sends out magnetic pulses into the area of the brain that is involved in mood control. After completing the treatment, a person’s depression may be reduced or completely disappear. Scientists are also studying the use of TMS in the treatment of memory loss, especially in older adults. As individuals age, they tend to have more and more difficulty remembering recent events or information they have recently been exposed to. This occurs because a small area of the brain breaks down with age. To find out whether this process can be slowed, researchers at Northwestern University put together two groups of volunteers. One consisted of older adults aged 64 to 80 while the other was composed of younger adults in their 20s and 30s. Both groups were first assigned a memory task, then their performances were scored. On average, the older group scored 40 percent. Meanwhile, the younger group did better, achieving an average score of 55 percent. Next, the older adults were treated with TMS for five days in a row. After that, they were allowed to rest for a day before they were given a new memory test. In this case, the average score was better. In fact, it equaled the younger group’s score on the original test, proving that TMS had stimulated the older adults’ brains and improved their memory. 1. What is TMS used to treat in Paragraph 2? A. Arm and leg wounds. B. Severe heart diseases. C. A mental condition. D. The common cold. 2. What can we learn about TMS treatment? A. It requires the use of special equipment. B. It causes pain in sensitive parts of the body. C. It’s mainly been tried out on youngsters. D. It was approved by governments long ago. 3. How does the researchers make the conclusion? A. By analyzing the basis of a theory. B. By questioning a traditional concept. C. By emphasizing a study’s limitations. D. By comparing the results of an experiment. 4. Which magazine would this passage most likely appear? A. New Directions in Outdoor Recreation B. Technological Advances in Patient Care C. European Journal of Social Science D. Characteristics of Successful Organizations B When instant cake mixes hit US shelves in the late 1940s, sales were disappointing. Consumer psychologist Dichter went into the nation’s kitchens to find out why. His interviews with housewives led him to a surprising conclusion. The mixes made baking too easy. On Dichter’s recommendation, the next generation of mixes required the addition of a fresh egg. They became very popular and sold like hot cakes. The story is an example of a strange phenomenon in modern consumer societies. Some economists tell us that we should place more value on items that spare us work. As we increasingly consider ourselves as money-rich and time - poor, we should be prepared to spend more of the former to save the latter. But humans and these economists don’t always see eye to eye. “People believe that effort equals quality.” says Norton, behavioral economist. For most of human history, people believed that the higher up the tree you climbed, the more and better fruit you were likely to find, simply because it was less reachable. “You can make people believe that if effort is invested, the result is of higher quality.” says Norton. He has named this phenomenon the IKEA effect. IKEA, the world’s largest furniture seller, is a master of shifting labour costs to the buyer and earning praise in return. This year, Norton decided to find out exactly how. In a series of experiments, they asked people to assemble IKEA boxes, a boring task. The participants then had to bid small sums for the products of their labour. The results were impressive. People bid considerably more for their own creations even when they were plain old IKEA boxes. It seems that the act of creating something increases our sense of its worth. The IKEA effect suggests that when looking around for last - minute gift inspiration for someone you could get him a box of separate furniture pieces that have to be put together himself. Although he might dislike the confusing instructions, in the long run he will thank you. 5. What is the purpose of the addition of a fresh egg? A. To improve the taste of cakes. B. To make cakes more expensive. C. To simplify the baking process. D. To give cooks a sense of achievement. 6. What can we learn about the economists in Paragraph 2? A. They disagree with common people. B. They doubt the instant cake mix story. C. They encourage people to save money. D. They attach great importance to quality. 7. Which of the following consists with the IKEA effect? A. People pay more for the apples picked by others. B. People consider assembling furniture interesting. C. People eat more when they cook themselves. D. People choose gifts at the last minute. 8. What is a suitable title for the passage? A. A Labour of Love B. Make a Correct Judgment C. The Charm of Assembling D. Be Careful with Your Effort C Electric vehicles are now a common sight on the roads of most developed countries. But the situation in less developed countries is rather different: the only African country that has started using electric vehicles is South Africa, where electric vehicles still account for less than 0.01%. In South America, the situation is better, particularly Columbia which, in 2023, had a third of the continent’s total electric car fleet. In Turkey, the wealthy are investing in imported electric cars, but no electric cars are yet made locally, while in India, the government is promoting the purchase of electric vehicles with the reduction of tax. Firstly, the expansion of electric vehicle manufacturing is dependent on poor ability’ of manufacturers to source vastly increased quantities of vital components without which electric vehicles cannot operate. These include silicon chips which have been in short supply since 2021. Secondly, few countries now have electricity grids that are anywhere near being able to cope with the huge increase in demand for electricity that will accompany any rapid growth in electric vehicle ownership. Without adequate supplies of all the crucial ingredients of electric motors and batteries, or without power supplies that are able to provide the electricity needed to recharge millions of electric batteries daily, the electric car revolution will run up against insoluble problems. Experts also predict that changing social attitudes and raising environmental awareness will lead to a reduction in private vehicle use. This prediction is likely to be right, though not necessarily for those reasons alone. And will other issues throw a spanner in the works? For example, any shortage of battery recharging facilities will discourage people from buying electric vehicles, leading to a fall in the number of electric vehicles on the roads. So will more countries be able to complete the electric vehicle revolution? For the time being, technology will come up with the answers, as it often has in the past. In terms of volume, the electric vehicle revolution has only just got under way. 9. Which of the following countries receives the most official support? A. South Africa. B. Columbia. C. Turkey. D. India. 10. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why is the demand for electric vehicles on the rise? B. How can electricity grids help to develop electric vehicles? C. Why is the massive production of electric vehicles impossible? D. What ingredients are needed for manufacturing electric vehicles? 11. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Do something that increases the amount of the private vehicles. B. Do something that prevents the development of electric vehicles. C. Do something that accelerates the development of electric vehicles. D. Do something that raises the awareness of environmental protection. 12. What is the author’s attitude towards the development of electric vehicles? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Unclear. 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。 We often tend to associate smiling as the result of a positive event or mood. However, recent research demonstrates that the act of smiling, in and of itself, can be responsible for joy. So read on about reasons why you should smile more.

The next stop was the trailer park, where a boy, older than me, got on the bus. But his hands stuffed in jean jacket pockets, he didn’t even bring them out to pay his fare, speaking to the driver so low that I couldn’t hear. Passengers around were frowning. The driver waved at the boy like shooing a fly and then jerked a thumb to indicate he should go and sit down. The boy walked past me, eyes on the untied sneakers, which were a size too big for him. Just then, someone whispered, rough as sandpaper, loud enough to be caught by all our ears. “Trailer park people never have the money.” Another voice, sharp as a needle, responded, “They always expect a free ride.” I glanced around quickly, seeing the hurt boy with his nose bright pink. I had experienced the same feeling about being looked down upon with mean words. So I reached deep in my pocket for the plastic baggies that held the change. The driver glared at me because I was out of my seat while the bus was in motion. I whispered, “For that boy in the back.” The coins fell into the fare box. The machine beeps to say a child’s fare has been paid. The driver stared at me and raised one thick brown eyebrow and the jut of his chin told me to go back to my seat. Two weeks later, I parted with my best friend after enjoying ourselves in the cinema for the whole afternoon. When her mother offered to drive me home, I declined, for it was only a drizzle then. However, it rained heavily soon, and the wind roared to life, letting loose the rain with a will. By the time the bus I waited for slowly pulled up, I dug in my pockets for money, which was surprisingly empty. Only then did I realize I had spent it all in the cinema, forgetting to save some for the bus. 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I looked at the driver helplessly, at his eyes under his thick, bushy brown eyebrows. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The fare machine beeped, saying the fare for a child had been paid. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5BACCA 6—10BABCA 11—15BCCAB 16—20BCCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024~2025学年度第一学期期中考试 高二英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟；总分：150分） 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考试号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 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，将答题卡交回。 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.

After completing the treatment, a person’s depression may be reduced or completely disappear.(幸运的是，还有另一种治疗方法：经颅磁刺激（TMS），即用磁铁刺激大脑的某些区域。经颅磁刺激治疗是根据特定的时间表进行的，包括在六周内进行20到30次治疗。在每40分钟的治疗过程中，一名训练有素的医生将一个装置放在患者头部的左侧。这种装置向大脑中控制情绪的区域发射磁脉冲。在完成治疗后，一个人的抑郁症可能会减轻或完全消失)”可知，经颅磁刺激(TMS)被用来治疗一种抑郁的精神状态。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“During each forty- minute treatment session, a trained physician places a device on the left side of the person’s head. This device sends out magnetic pulses into the area of the brain that is involved in mood control. (在每40分钟的治疗过程中，一名训练有素的医生将一个装置放在患者头部的左侧。这种装置向大脑中控制情绪的区域发射磁脉冲)”可知，经颅磁刺激需要使用特殊的设备。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Both groups were first assigned a memory task, then their performances were scored. On average, the older group scored 40 percent. Meanwhile, the younger group did better, achieving an average score of 55 percent. Next, the older adults were treated with TMS for five days in a row. After that, they were allowed to rest for a day before they were given a new memory test. In this case, the average score was better. In fact, it equaled the younger group’s score on the original test, proving that TMS had stimulated the older adults’ brains and improved their memory.(两组人首先被分配了一个记忆任务，然后对他们的表现进行评分。老年人的平均得分为40%。与此同时，年轻的一组表现更好，平均得分为55%。接下来，老年人接受连续5天的经颅磁刺激治疗。之后，他们被允许休息一天，然后进行新的记忆测试。在这种情况下，平均分数更好。事实上，它与年轻组在最初测试中的得分相当，证明经颅磁刺激刺激了老年人的大脑并改善了他们的记忆力)”可知，研究人员是通过比较实验结果得出结论。故选D。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Fortunately, there is another treatment available: transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS, which uses magnets to stimulate regions of the brain. (幸运的是，还有另一种治疗方法：经颅磁刺激（TMS），即用磁铁刺激大脑的某些区域)”可知，本文介绍了一种新的更有效的物理治疗抑郁症和老年人记忆损失的方法——经颅磁刺激（TMS），所以这篇文章可能出自Technological Advances in Patient Care《病人护理的技术进步》。故选B。 B When instant cake mixes hit US shelves in the late 1940s, sales were disappointing. Consumer psychologist Dichter went into the nation’s kitchens to find out why. His interviews with housewives led him to a surprising conclusion. The mixes made baking too easy. On Dichter’s recommendation, the next generation of mixes required the addition of a fresh egg. They became very popular and sold like hot cakes. The story is an example of a strange phenomenon in modern consumer societies. Some economists tell us that we should place more value on items that spare us work. As we increasingly consider ourselves as money-rich and time - poor, we should be prepared to spend more of the former to save the latter. But humans and these economists don’t always see eye to eye. “People believe that effort equals quality.” says Norton, behavioral economist. For most of human history, people believed that the higher up the tree you climbed, the more and better fruit you were likely to find, simply because it was less reachable. “You can make people believe that if effort is invested, the result is of higher quality.” says Norton. He has named this phenomenon the IKEA effect. IKEA, the world’s largest furniture seller, is a master of shifting labour costs to the buyer and earning praise in return. This year, Norton decided to find out exactly how. In a series of experiments, they asked people to assemble IKEA boxes, a boring task. The participants then had to bid small sums for the products of their labour. The results were impressive. People bid considerably more for their own creations even when they were plain old IKEA boxes. It seems that the act of creating something increases our sense of its worth. The IKEA effect suggests that when looking around for last - minute gift inspiration for someone you could get him a box of separate furniture pieces that have to be put together himself. Although he might dislike the confusing instructions, in the long run he will thank you. 5. What is the purpose of the addition of a fresh egg? A. To improve the taste of cakes. B. To make cakes more expensive. C. To simplify the baking process. D. To give cooks a sense of achievement. 6. What can we learn about the economists in Paragraph 2? A. They disagree with common people. B. They doubt the instant cake mix story. C. They encourage people to save money. D. They attach great importance to quality. 7. Which of the following consists with the IKEA effect? A. People pay more for the apples picked by others. B. People consider assembling furniture interesting. C. People eat more when they cook themselves. D. People choose gifts at the last minute. 8. What is a suitable title for the passage? A. A Labour of Love B. Make a Correct Judgment C. The Charm of Assembling D. Be Careful with Your Effort 【答案】5. D 6. A 7. C 8. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一家效应，说明增加劳动量会赢得了更多喜爱。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“His interviews with housewives led him to a surprising conclusion. The mixes made baking too easy. On Dichter’s recommendation, the next generation of mixes required the addition of a fresh egg. They became very popular and sold like hot cakes. (他对家庭主妇的采访使他得出了一个惊人的结论。这些混合物使烘焙变得太容易了。根据Dichter的建议，新一代的混合物需要添加一个新鲜的鸡蛋。它们很受欢迎，卖得很好。)”可知，加入新鲜鸡蛋的目的是给厨师一种成就感。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Some economists tell us that we should place more value on items that spare us work. As we increasingly consider ourselves as money-rich and time - poor, we should be prepared to spend more of the former to save the latter. But humans and these economists don’t always see eye to eye. (一些经济学家告诉我们，我们应该把更多的价值放在那些节省我们工作的东西上。当我们越来越认为自己有钱而没时间的时候，我们应该准备好花更多的钱来节省时间。但人类和这些经济学家并不总是意见一致。)”可知，关于第二段中的经济学家，我们能了解到他们不同意普通人的观点。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“For most of human history, people believed that the higher up the tree you climbed, the more and better fruit you were likely to find, simply because it was less reachable. “You can make people believe that if effort is invested, the result is of higher quality.” says Norton. He has named this phenomenon the IKEA effect. (在人类历史的大部分时间里，人们相信爬得越高，就越有可能找到更多更好的果实，仅仅是因为它们比较难摘到。“你可以让人们相信，如果付出努力，结果就会更高。”Norton说。他将这种现象命名为“宜家效应”。)”可知，人们自己做饭，往往吃得更多，因为增加了难度，付出了努力，这符合宜家效应。故选C项。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“The mixes made baking too easy. On Dichter’s recommendation, the next generation of mixes required the addition of a fresh egg. They became very popular and sold like hot cakes. (这些混合物让烘焙变得太容易了。根据Dichter的建议，下一代混合物需要添加新鲜鸡蛋。它们变得非常受欢迎，像热蛋糕一样畅销。)”和最后一段“The IKEA effect suggests that when looking around for last - minute gift inspiration for someone you could get him a box of separate furniture pieces that have to be put together himself. Although he might dislike the confusing instructions, in the long run he will thank you. (宜家效应表明，当你为某人寻找最后一分钟的礼物灵感时，你可以送他一盒独立的家具，这些家具必须自己组装。虽然他可能不喜欢那些令人困惑的说明，但最终他会感谢你的。)”可知，本文介绍了宜家效应，说明增加劳动量会赢得了更多喜爱。这篇文章合适的标题是：劳动产生的喜爱。故选A项。 C Electric vehicles are now a common sight on the roads of most developed countries. But the situation in less developed countries is rather different: the only African country that has started using electric vehicles is South Africa, where electric vehicles still account for less than 0.01%. In South America, the situation is better, particularly Columbia which, in 2023, had a third of the continent’s total electric car fleet. In Turkey, the wealthy are investing in imported electric cars, but no electric cars are yet made locally, while in India, the government is promoting the purchase of electric vehicles with the reduction of tax. Firstly, the expansion of electric vehicle manufacturing is dependent on poor ability’ of manufacturers to source vastly increased quantities of vital components without which electric vehicles cannot operate. These include silicon chips which have been in short supply since 2021. Secondly, few countries now have electricity grids that are anywhere near being able to cope with the huge increase in demand for electricity that will accompany any rapid growth in electric vehicle ownership. Without adequate supplies of all the crucial ingredients of electric motors and batteries, or without power supplies that are able to provide the electricity needed to recharge millions of electric batteries daily, the electric car revolution will run up against insoluble problems. Experts also predict that changing social attitudes and raising environmental awareness will lead to a reduction in private vehicle use. This prediction is likely to be right, though not necessarily for those reasons alone. And will other issues throw a spanner in the works? For example, any shortage of battery recharging facilities will discourage people from buying electric vehicles, leading to a fall in the number of electric vehicles on the roads. So will more countries be able to complete the electric vehicle revolution? For the time being, technology will come up with the answers, as it often has in the past. In terms of volume, the electric vehicle revolution has only just got under way. 9. Which of the following countries receives the most official support? A South Africa. B. Columbia. C. Turkey. D. India. 10. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why is the demand for electric vehicles on the rise? B. How can electricity grids help to develop electric vehicles? C. Why is the massive production of electric vehicles impossible? D. What ingredients are needed for manufacturing electric vehicles? 11. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Do something that increases the amount of the private vehicles. B. Do something that prevents the development of electric vehicles. C. Do something that accelerates the development of electric vehicles. D. Do something that raises the awareness of environmental protection. 12. What is the author’s attitude towards the development of electric vehicles? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Unclear. 【答案】9. D 10. C 11. B 12. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了在欠发达国家中电动车的普及困难，并探讨了全球电动车发展的挑战和未来。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But the situation in less developed countries is rather different: the only African country that has started using electric vehicles is South Africa, where electric vehicles still account for less than 0.01%. In South America, the situation is better, particularly Columbia which, in 2023, had a third of the continent’s total electric car fleet. In Turkey, the wealthy are investing in imported electric cars, but no electric cars are yet made locally, while in India, the government is promoting the purchase of electric vehicles with the reduction of tax.(但欠发达国家的情况就大不相同了：唯一一个开始使用电动汽车的非洲国家是南非，在那里，电动汽车的比例仍然不到0.01%。在南美洲，情况要好一些，尤其是哥伦比亚，在2023年，该国拥有非洲大陆三分之一的电动汽车车队。在土耳其，富人正在投资进口电动汽车，但还没有本土制造的电动汽车，而在印度，政府正在通过减税促进购买电动汽车)”可知，印度是最支持电动汽车发展的国家。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Firstly, the expansion of electric vehicle manufacturing is dependent on poor ability’ of manufacturers to source vastly increased quantities of vital components without which electric vehicles cannot operate. These include silicon chips which have been in short supply since 2021. Secondly, few countries now have electricity grids that are anywhere near being able to cope with the huge increase in demand for electricity that will accompany any rapid growth in electric vehicle ownership. Without adequate supplies of all the crucial ingredients of electric motors and batteries, or without power supplies that are able to provide the electricity needed to recharge millions of electric batteries daily, the electric car revolution will run up against insoluble problems.(首先，电动汽车制造业的扩张依赖于制造商采购大量重要部件的能力差，没有这些部件，电动汽车就无法运行。其中包括自2021年以来一直供不应求的硅芯片。其次，目前几乎没有哪个国家的电网能够应对随着电动汽车拥有量的快速增长而出现的电力需求的巨大增长。如果没有足够的电动机和电池的所有关键成分，或者没有能够提供每天为数百万个电池充电所需的电力的电源，电动汽车革命将遇到无法解决的问题)”可知，第二段讨论了为什么电动车的大规模生产是不可能的。故选C。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“For example, any shortage of battery recharging facilities will discourage people from buying electric vehicles(例如，电池充电设施短缺将阻碍人们购买电动车)”可知，后文描述阻碍电动车发展的原因，因此“throw a spanner in the works”意指阻碍电动车发展。故选B。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“For the time being, technology will come up with the answers, as it often has in the past. In terms of volume, the electric vehicle revolution has only just got under way.(就目前而言，技术将提供答案，就像它过去经常做的那样。就销量而言，电动汽车革命才刚刚开始)”以及全文内容可推测，作者认为电动车发展是有希望的，持积极态度。故选A。 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。 We often tend to associate smiling as the result of a positive event or mood.

The next stop was the trailer park, where a boy, older than me, got on the bus. But his hands stuffed in jean jacket pockets, he didn’t even bring them out to pay his fare, speaking to the driver so low that I couldn’t hear. Passengers around were frowning. The driver waved at the boy like shooing a fly and then jerked a thumb to indicate he should go and sit down. The boy walked past me, eyes on the untied sneakers, which were a size too big for him. Just then, someone whispered, rough as sandpaper, loud enough to be caught by all our ears. “Trailer park people never have the money.” Another voice, sharp as a needle, responded, “They always expect a free ride.” I glanced around quickly, seeing the hurt boy with his nose bright pink. I had experienced the same feeling about being looked down upon with mean words. So I reached deep in my pocket for the plastic baggies that held the change. The driver glared at me because I was out of my seat while the bus was in motion. I whispered, “For that boy in the back.” The coins fell into the fare box. The machine beeps to say a child’s fare has been paid. The driver stared at me and raised one thick brown eyebrow and the jut of his chin told me to go back to my seat. Two weeks later, I parted with my best friend after enjoying ourselves in the cinema for the whole afternoon. When her mother offered to drive me home, I declined, for it was only a drizzle then. However, it rained heavily soon, and the wind roared to life, letting loose the rain with a will. By the time the bus I waited for slowly pulled up, I dug in my pockets for money, which was surprisingly empty. Only then did I realize I had spent it all in the cinema, forgetting to save some for the bus. 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I looked at the driver helplessly, at his eyes under his thick, bushy brown eyebrows. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The fare machine beeped, saying the fare for a child had been paid. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I looked at the driver helplessly, at his eyes under his thick, bushy brown eyebrows. I swallowed hard, my heart pounding in my chest as I tried to explain the unexpected trouble. With heavy rain, my hair was a wet curtain in my face. Looking at me for few seconds, the driver smiled, signing me to get on the bus quickly. I stared at the face of the driver, only to find that it was the same driver who, two weeks before, witnessed my offer to pay for the boy. The fare machine beeped, saying the fare for a child had been paid. Hearing this, I felt relieved and grateful. The smallest but warmest smile in the world spread on the driver’s face. A sense of amazement dominated my heart, for I realized that my simple act of kindness was returned in the least expected manner. From now on, I’m always going to carry two fares worth of money in my pocket. It’s a reminder that little kindness can go a long way in making a better world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了九岁的时候，作者看到一个男孩在公共汽车上没钱买票，但作者用自己的钱给他付了车费，尽管司机不赞成。两周后，作者忘了存钱坐公交车，发现自己身无分文。那个目睹了作者的善举的司机对作者笑了笑，让作者免费上车。作者明白了小小的善举可以产生巨大的影响。作者向自己保证，一定要带足够的钱给别人买票。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我无助地看着司机，看着他浓密的棕色眉毛下的眼睛。”可知，第一段可描写作者和司机对视的心理感受以及最终认出司机。 ②由第二段首句内容“售票机发出嘟嘟声，说儿童的车费已经付了。”可知，第二段可描写作者意识到简单的善举得到了意想不到的回报。 2.续写线索：无助地看着司机——作者心理感受——认出司机——车费已经付了——善举得到了回报——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①盯着：stared at/ gazed at ②.意识到：realized /was aware of ③.解释：explain / make clear 情绪类 ①.感激的：grateful / appreciative ②.惊奇：amazement /astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1].
