B In a small coastal community in Ecuador known as La Isla, I was handing out clothes and toys to children standing in a long line in their schoolyard. They had gathered there that morning, likely wearing the only clothes they owned. They were quiet and polite, eyes bright with excitement. Watching this, my mind flashed back to a day I would never forget. I was five years old that Christmas Eve in 1988, growing up in Ecuador, with my parents and elder sister. My father came into my bedroom and gave me a plastic cowboy. I’d never owned a real toy of any kind. My family didn’t have much. My mom stayed home, caring for my sister and me. My dad drove a food delivery truck and was on the road for days at a time. “I hope you like your toy,” my father said, kneeling down and holding me close. I felt the warmth of his body, as if in giving me this toy he was also giving me a part of himself. Even at age five, I knew that had been a gift. By sixth grade our family moved to the US, and life got easier. I did really well in high school. Every good grade was a thank-you to my parents for all they’d done for me. I went on to college, and after graduation, with my degree in hand, I became a pharmacist (药剂). I was finally able to buy nice gifts for my family, but I could never give in equal measure the love I’d felt from that unexpected gift I’d received as a little boy. I wished every child could know that feeling. Two years into my career, I made my first trip to La Isla. Two years later, I returned with my nonprofit (非盈利) organization called Toys for Ecuador. My parents, sister and I traveled to towns across rural Ecuador with Christmas presents for children and gift baskets for seniors. It was a journey that not only fulfilled a childhood wish to share that special feeling of love and generosity, but also reaffirmed (重申) my commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. 24. What reminded the author of his childhood story? A. The scene of children’s receiving gifts. B. The Christmas celebration. C. The children’s happy school life. D. The preparation of Christmas gifts. 25. Which words can best describe the author’s father? A. Thankful and positive B. Outgoing and romantic. C. Responsible and confident D. Hardworking and caring. 26. How did the author repay his parents? A. By satisfying their wish to make him a pharmacist. B. By improving his academic achievements. C. By buying them some unexpected gifts. D. By setting up a nonprofit organization. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Toys for Ecuador Gave Children Christmas Gifts B. Father’s Gift Pushed a Boy to Succeed Academically C. Father’s Love Never Left Boyhood Memories Behind D. A Plastic Cowboy Inspired Toys for Ecuador C What you do after studying could have a big effect on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep. When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied. The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games. While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning—what is called “wakeful rest”. A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest. If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy! Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS) notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well”. It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information.” The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less. Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That’s it—a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn. 28. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The importance of sleep. B. The good ways to get a rest. C. The reason for having a rest. D. The types of resting activities. 29. Which activity might be recommended shortly after studying? A. Reading a newspaper. B. Playing a video game. C Sitting there doing nothing. D. Having a nice sleep at night. 30. How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF? A. Less than 7 hours. B. Just 7 hours. C. No more than 9 hours. D. Around 9 hours. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Low-cost Tips on Working B. Good Things to Do After Your Study C. Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep? D. How Long Should We Rest After Learning? D Small endangered animals are often hard to find in their natural habitats (栖息地), making it difficult for scientists to spot them and develop conservation plans. But new technologies can help. Australian researchers have equipped flying drones (遥控飞机) with cameras so they can spot koalas hiding high in trees. Koalas spend most of their lives in eucalyptus trees (桉树), whose leaves are their favorite food. Since the leaves are low in calories and nutritional content, koalas are not very active — they sleep up to 20 hours a day. Living in high branches, they are not easy to spot from the ground, and they have few natural predators (捕食者). The greatest threat to them is that lots of trees are being cut down. “Every single tree in Australia, right now, needs to be protected, and unless that happens I can promise you the koala is going to become extinct,” said Deborah Tabart, from the Australian Koala Foundation. Scientists studying koalas say one of the keys to saving animals is to know where they live and how many of them are left. Using drones fitted with cameras to conduct a census (数目调查) was an untested concept. Queensland Institute of Technology technician Gavin Broadbent said they were doubtful at first. “But when we saw the images come through, we saw the koalas were very clear compared to the trees and the environment. So we thought, yes, this is absolutely a proof of a concept that could work,” he said. The images sent back to a computer clearly show the animal’s position, even from a distance far enough away not to disturb its sleep. Scientists can scan the trees from all angles, picking out koalas even in the densest (稠密的) areas. Scientists say it is now clear that drones with cameras can be used for spotting, and perhaps saving, other animals in the wild. 32. What can we learn about koalas from the second paragraph? A. Koalas have nothing to eat but eucalyptus leaves. B. Koalas’ food is high in calories, so they are fat. C. Koalas are not very active because they like sleeping. D. Koalas live in high branches so they are difficult to spot. 33. What is making the number of koalas decrease? A. Hunting. B. Their natural predators. C. Destruction of their habitat. D. Climate change. 34. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the new method to spot koalas? A. It can be used to protect other animals in the world. B. The pictures shot by the cameras clearly show koalas’ position. C. It can be carried out without disturbing koalas’ sleep. D. The koalas in the densest areas can be picked out with this method. 35. What would be the best title for the text? A. How Koalas Live in Australia B. The Number of the Koalas Is Decreasing Sharply C. Measures Must Be Taken to Protect Koalas’ Habitat D. Drones Help Scientists Spot Endangered Koalas 第二节 阅读七选五 (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。 Life is filled with numerous victories and downfalls; what matters is how you tackle each situation.

But what I remember may be a little different. Let me explain. My heart was pounding when I climbed onto the school bus on the first day of middle school. As I was looking for a seat, my eyes landed on two girls sitting together. They smiled at me and pointed to the seat next to theirs. I sat down and we chatted. They were Heather and Jessica. It turned out that we had the first period together and we became friends. We ate lunch together, hung out in the park and played games in Jessica's room on weekends. But our friendship wasn't without its faults. Jessica had an "I'm-the-boss" personality. She always had to be in charge. One time, the three of us went to the mall. I wanted to go to Abercrombie. But Jessica rolled her eyes and told me to go to Rave. Not wanting to argue, I followed her. This skirt would look great on you. "Jessica exclaimed. "Try it on!" "I don't like it," I said. Jessica gave me a death glare so I made my way to the dressing room. I ended up spending fifty dollars on a skirt that I didn't even like, just to make Jessica happy. Throughout the following year, this was how it was. If Jessica went somewhere, Heather and I went there too. I found I was behaving as a pretended version of myself just to please Jessica and to keep her from being mad at me. Then, summer came. Jessica invited Heather and me to go to Cape Cod with her. I decided to go to Florida with another friend instead, so Jessica got angry. I went to Florida and didn't hear from her. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, my phone rang and the caller ID showed "Jessica". ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three days later, I received a text message from Jessica, reading "Can we have a talk?" ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 衡阳县四中2024-2025学年上学期期中考试 高一英语试题卷(平行班) 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?

My parents had a piano in our house that I would pretend to play as a two-year-old kid. I started taking lessons at the age of ten. I loved to play. I would practice for three hours a day as a kid. As I got older, my teachers and parents wanted me to get serious about playing. So, in high school, I took music classes and played in some concerts to make them pleased. I traveled to other cities to play. The concerts and the traveling were hard on me. I was worried about making my parents proud and being the best I could be. When I left high school and went to college, I stopped playing as much. At some point, I decided not to play the piano anymore. But I never forgot the music. Now I just play for fun. I don’t practice every day, and I don’t have to become the best player anymore. But that’s okay with me. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A More than two million culture-hungry visitors are expected to gather at the Edinburgh International Festival.

They had gathered there that morning, likely wearing the only clothes they owned. They were quiet and polite, eyes bright with excitement. Watching this, my mind flashed back to a day I would never forget. I was five years old that Christmas Eve in 1988, growing up in Ecuador, with my parents and elder sister. My father came into my bedroom and gave me a plastic cowboy. I’d never owned a real toy of any kind. My family didn’t have much. My mom stayed home, caring for my sister and me. My dad drove a food delivery truck and was on the road for days at a time. “I hope you like your toy,” my father said, kneeling down and holding me close. I felt the warmth of his body, as if in giving me this toy he was also giving me a part of himself. Even at age five, I knew that had been a gift. By sixth grade our family moved to the US, and life got easier. I did really well in high school. Every good grade was a thank-you to my parents for all they’d done for me. I went on to college, and after graduation, with my degree in hand, I became a pharmacist (药剂). I was finally able to buy nice gifts for my family, but I could never give in equal measure the love I’d felt from that unexpected gift I’d received as a little boy. I wished every child could know that feeling. Two years into my career, I made my first trip to La Isla. Two years later, I returned with my nonprofit (非盈利) organization called Toys for Ecuador. My parents, sister and I traveled to towns across rural Ecuador with Christmas presents for children and gift baskets for seniors. It was a journey that not only fulfilled a childhood wish to share that special feeling of love and generosity, but also reaffirmed (重申) my commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. 24. What reminded the author of his childhood story? A. The scene of children’s receiving gifts. B. The Christmas celebration. C. The children’s happy school life. D. The preparation of Christmas gifts. 25. Which words can best describe the author’s father? A. Thankful and positive B. Outgoing and romantic. C. Responsible and confident D. Hardworking and caring. 26. How did the author repay his parents? A. By satisfying their wish to make him a pharmacist. B. By improving his academic achievements. C. By buying them some unexpected gifts. D. By setting up a nonprofit organization. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Toys for Ecuador Gave Children Christmas Gifts B. Father’s Gift Pushed a Boy to Succeed Academically C. Father’s Love Never Left Boyhood Memories Behind D. A Plastic Cowboy Inspired Toys for Ecuador 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27.

(我爸爸开着一辆送餐车，每次都在路上跑好几天。)”可知，作者父亲开着一辆送餐车，一连几天都在路上。由此推断父亲工作很勤劳；结合第三段中的““I hope you like your toy,” my father said, kneeling down and holding me close. I felt the warmth of his body, as if in giving me this toy he was also giving me a part of himself. (“我希望你喜欢你的玩具，”父亲说着，跪下来紧紧地抱着我。我感觉到他身体的温暖，仿佛在给我这个玩具的同时，他也给了我他自己的一部分。)”可知，父亲跪下来紧紧地抱着作者，作者感觉到就好像父亲给他这个玩具的同时，也把自己的一部分给了他，由此推知父亲很会关心人，综合以上信息可知，父亲是一个工作努力并且会关心人的人。故选D项。 26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I did really well in high school.

Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep. When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after your study may help you remember what you have studied. The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games. While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning—what is called “wakeful rest”. A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember information they learned after doing wakeful rest. If you want to give “wakeful rest” a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy! Besides wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS) notes that sleep helps people to learn in two ways. A report on the school’s website explains that “a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention well and therefore cannot learn well”. It also says, “Sleep itself helps us to memorize and that memorizing is very important for learning new information.” The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less. Try to get some “wakeful rest” after a study. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That’s it—a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn. 28. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The importance of sleep. B. The good ways to get a rest. C. The reason for having a rest. D. The types of resting activities. 29. Which activity might be recommended shortly after studying? A. Reading a newspaper. B. Playing a video game. C. Sitting there doing nothing. D. Having a nice sleep at night. 30. How long should teenagers sleep each day according to NSF? A Less than 7 hours. B. Just 7 hours. C. No more than 9 hours. D. Around 9 hours. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Low-cost Tips on Working B. Good Things to Do After Your Study C. Why Do We Need to Have a Good Sleep? D. How Long Should We Rest After Learning? 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为“清醒式休息”的休息方式，指在学习后停止活动，让大脑有机会休息，从而能更好地记住所学信息。介绍了这一休息方式的操作方式，除了清醒式休息，睡眠对学习也很重要，介绍了睡眠对人们的影响和成年人合适的睡眠时间。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The basic idea is this: by stopping your activity after the study, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you are playing computer games.” (其基本思想是：在学习结束后停止活动，你的大脑就有机会休息。当你玩电脑游戏时，休息就很困难 ) 可知，第三段的主要内容是休息的原因。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“If you want to give ‘wakeful rest’ a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. It is really that easy!”(如果你想尝试一下“清醒式休息”，这里有一些简单的事情可以做。安静地休息五到十分钟。不要看你的手机，读故事或玩游戏。真的很简单！)可知，C选项 “Sitting there doing nothing.（坐在那里什么也不做）”属于“清醒式休息”，这一活动在学习后可能会被推荐。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests that adults between the ages of 20 and 64 get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. Teenagers may need a little bit more, and people over the age of 65 may need a little less.”(国家睡眠基金会建议20到64岁的成年人每天要睡7到9个小时。青少年可能需要多一点，65岁以上的人可能需要少一点)可知，根据国家睡眠基金会的说法，青少年每天的睡眠时间应稍微多于成人的7—9小时，所以9小时左右是青少年合理睡眠时间。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“What you do after studying could have a big effect on how well you learn and remember. Today on Education Tips, we will explore two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep.”(学习后做什么对你的学习和记忆有很大的影响。在今天的教育小贴士中，我们将探索两种免费的方法来帮助你提高你的学习：清醒式休息和睡眠),结合文章主要介绍了一种名为“清醒式休息”的休息方式，指在学习后停止活动，让大脑有机会休息，从而能更好地记住所学信息。除了清醒式休息，睡眠对学习也很重要，介绍了睡眠对人们的影响和各年龄段人合适的睡眠时间。由此可知，B选项 “Good Things to Do After Your Study（学习后要做的事情）”是对文章内容最好的概括。故选B项。 D Small endangered animals are often hard to find in their natural habitats (栖息地), making it difficult for scientists to spot them and develop conservation plans. But new technologies can help. Australian researchers have equipped flying drones (遥控飞机) with cameras so they can spot koalas hiding high in trees. Koalas spend most of their lives in eucalyptus trees (桉树), whose leaves are their favorite food. Since the leaves are low in calories and nutritional content, koalas are not very active — they sleep up to 20 hours a day. Living in high branches, they are not easy to spot from the ground, and they have few natural predators (捕食者). The greatest threat to them is that lots of trees are being cut down. “Every single tree in Australia, right now, needs to be protected, and unless that happens I can promise you the koala is going to become extinct,” said Deborah Tabart, from the Australian Koala Foundation. Scientists studying koalas say one of the keys to saving animals is to know where they live and how many of them are left. Using drones fitted with cameras to conduct a census (数目调查) was an untested concept. Queensland Institute of Technology technician Gavin Broadbent said they were doubtful at first. “But when we saw the images come through, we saw the koalas were very clear compared to the trees and the environment. So we thought, yes, this is absolutely a proof of a concept that could work,” he said. The images sent back to a computer clearly show the animal’s position, even from a distance far enough away not to disturb its sleep. Scientists can scan the trees from all angles, picking out koalas even in the densest (稠密的) areas. Scientists say it is now clear that drones with cameras can be used for spotting, and perhaps saving, other animals in the wild. 32. What can we learn about koalas from the second paragraph? A. Koalas have nothing to eat but eucalyptus leaves. B. Koalas’ food is high in calories, so they are fat. C. Koalas are not very active because they like sleeping. D. Koalas live in high branches so they are difficult to spot. 33. What is making the number of koalas decrease? A. Hunting. B. Their natural predators. C. Destruction of their habitat. D. Climate change. 34. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the new method to spot koalas? A It can be used to protect other animals in the world. B. The pictures shot by the cameras clearly show koalas’ position. C. It can be carried out without disturbing koalas’ sleep. D. The koalas in the densest areas can be picked out with this method. 35. What would be the best title for the text? A. How Koalas Live in Australia B. The Number of the Koalas Is Decreasing Sharply C. Measures Must Be Taken to Protect Koalas’ Habitat D. Drones Help Scientists Spot Endangered Koalas 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是澳大利亚研究人员为无人机配备摄像头，帮助发现躲在树上的考拉，以便为其制定保护计划。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Living in high branches, they are not easy to spot from the ground, and they have few natural predators (捕食者).(它们生活在高高的树枝上，从地面上很难发现，而且很少有天敌。)”可知 ，考拉生活在高大的树枝上，很难在地上发现它们。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The greatest threat to them is that lots of trees are being cut down.(对它们最大的威胁是大量的树木被砍伐。)”可知，对考拉来说最大的威胁是树木被砍伐，由此可知，造成考拉数量减少的原因是栖息地被破坏。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由倒数第二段“The images sent back to a computer clearly show the animal’s position, even from a distance far enough away not to disturb its sleep. Scientists can scan the trees from all angles, picking out koalas even in the densest (稠密的) areas.(发回电脑的图像清楚地显示了动物的位置，即使是在足够远的距离不打扰它睡觉的情况下。科学家可以从各个角度扫描树木，即使是在最密集的地区也能找到考拉。)”可知，摄像头拍摄的考拉位置很清楚，在很远的距离就可以拍摄的到而不会影响考拉休息，同时，还可以在茂密的地区找到考拉，所有这些都是新设备发现考拉的优点，只有A选项“它可以用来保护世界上的其他动物”没有涉及到。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Small endangered animals are often hard to find in their natural habitats (栖息地), making it difficult for scientists to spot them and develop conservation plans. But new technologies can help. Australian researchers have equipped flying drones (遥控飞机) with cameras so they can spot koalas hiding high in trees. (小型濒危动物通常很难在它们的自然栖息地找到，这使得科学家很难发现它们并制定保护计划。但新技术可以提供帮助。澳大利亚研究人员为无人机配备了摄像头，这样它们就可以发现躲在高高的树上的考拉。)”并结合下文中对新设备帮助发现考拉的相关信息的介绍可知，本文讲了用无人机搭载摄像机的技术可以清楚地看到藏在树上的考拉，从而可以统计出考拉的数目，便于保护这种濒危动物，因此，本文的标题为“无人机帮助科学家发现濒危的考拉”符合本文的内容，并且也概括了本文的主题。故选D项。 第二节 阅读七选五 (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。 Life is filled with numerous victories and downfalls; what matters is how you tackle each situation.

But what I remember may be a little different. Let me explain. My heart was pounding when I climbed onto the school bus on the first day of middle school. As I was looking for a seat, my eyes landed on two girls sitting together. They smiled at me and pointed to the seat next to theirs. I sat down and we chatted. They were Heather and Jessica. It turned out that we had the first period together and we became friends. We ate lunch together, hung out in the park and played games in Jessica's room on weekends. But our friendship wasn't without its faults. Jessica had an "I'm-the-boss" personality. She always had to be in charge. One time, the three of us went to the mall. I wanted to go to Abercrombie. But Jessica rolled her eyes and told me to go to Rave. Not wanting to argue, I followed her. This skirt would look great on you. "Jessica exclaimed. "Try it on!" "I don't like it," I said. Jessica gave me a death glare so I made my way to the dressing room. I ended up spending fifty dollars on a skirt that I didn't even like, just to make Jessica happy. Throughout the following year, this was how it was. If Jessica went somewhere, Heather and I went there too. I found I was behaving as a pretended version of myself just to please Jessica and to keep her from being mad at me. Then, summer came. Jessica invited Heather and me to go to Cape Cod with her. I decided to go to Florida with another friend instead, so Jessica got angry. I went to Florida and didn't hear from her. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, my phone rang and the caller ID showed "Jessica". ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three days later, I received a text message from Jessica, reading "Can we have a talk?" ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One day, my phone rang and the caller ID showed “Jessica”. I answered it. “Why do my other friends call and you don't?” Jessica questioned. I thought it was time to tell her the truth, so I took a deep breath and said, "Jessica, you're fun to be with but I'm afraid of you. I never know when you're going to get mad at me. It's hard to have a friend who's always angry." The line went dead. She'd hung up on me. Three days later, I received a text message from Jessica, reading “Can we have a talk?” We met in her room where we used to have so much fun together. Surprisingly, Jessica thanked me for what I said. When I said “sorry”, she told me, “I don't think telling the truth is a mistake. Real friends are there for you through the toughest times—they don't cause them. Can I have another chance?" I was so touched by her words. Since then, she has become a much better friend, and me too. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和朋友Jessica的友谊变化，Jessica有一种“我是老板”的强势性格，作者为了取悦她总是委曲求全。作者想要摆脱控制，没有答应Jessica一起游玩的要求。由此暴露了友谊存在的问题，最后妥善解决问题和谐相处的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“有一天，我的电话响了，来电显示是‘Jessica’。”可知，第一段可描写作者对Jessica表达了自己的自由选择，Jessica很生气，问题出现。 ②由第二段首句内容“三天后，我收到了Jessica的短信，上面写着：‘我们能谈一谈吗?’”可知，第二段可描写作者和Jessica妥善解决问题。 2.续写线索：表达真相（——暴露问题）——生气——表达歉意（——解决问题）——和谐友好 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①表达真相：tell her the truth/express the truth ②表达歉意：say sorry/apologize 情绪类 ①生气：be angry/feel annoyed ②和谐友好：get harmonious/be friendly/become a much better friend 【点睛】[高分句型1].
