The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. To get out of there, she was going to get an education. Her parents tried to save some money to send her to college, but unexpected bills kept hitting the fund. Then a teacher announced that the state was going to give a college scholarship to the two top students from her year. Finally, West got the scholarship, allowing her to attend Virginia State College, a historically black university. West decided to major in mathematics because it was a well-respected subject. It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way. After graduating, she became a teacher. A few years later, she returned to the university and earned a master’s degree in mathematics. Then she was offered a job at a naval base in Dahlgren, Virginia. This made her only the second black woman to be hired to work as a programmer at the base. Despite her intellectual abilities and career success, West felt she was inferior. It was this feeling, deeply rooted and felt, by many African Americans that drove her to work as hard as she could. West determined to commit herself to her work, hoping that by doing it to the best of her ability, she could get recognition for her work. West did just that. In 1979, she became project manager for the Seasat project, the first satellite that could monitor the oceans. She programmed an IBM 7030 Stretch computer, providing faster calculations for an accurate Earthmodel. This detailed mathematical model of the shape of the Earth was a building block for what would become the GPS orbit. In 1998, aged 68, she intended to focus on her PhD after retirement. She eventually finished her graduation thesis and gained her PhD in public administration and policy affairs in 2000 at the age of 70. 24. What helps Gladys West to go to the university? A. Her teacher’s aiding her. B. Her parents’ paying for the expenses. C. Her family background. D. The scholarship from the government. 25. What can we infer from the text? A. West got all her degrees after retirement. B. Men dominated maths field in West’s days. C. Black women scientists ' talent was fully appreciated. D. When she began to work, West felt she was superior to others. 26. What does the underlined phrase “a building block” in paragraph 5 mean? A. A basic part. B. A detailed map. C. A building material. D. A major obstacle. 27. What kind of person is Gladys West? A. Helpful and serious. B. Honest and hardworking. C. Ambitious and committed. D. Considerate and devoted. C Most people often listen to music near bedtime to relax. But can that actually cause your sleep to suffer? When sleep researcher Michael Scullin realized that he was waking in the middle of the night with a song stuck in his head, he saw an opportunity. He decided to study a rarely-explored mechanism (机制): how music — and particularly songs stuck in one’s head — might affect sleep patterns. Scullin said, “Everyone knows that music listening feels good. Young adults routinely listen to music near bedtime. Thus, they are easy to experience ‘earworms’ — involuntary musical imagery. It’s a condition where a song or tune will replay over and over in our mind, and our brains continue to process music even when none is playing, including apparently while we are asleep.” Scullin’s recent study included a survey and a laboratory experiment. The survey involved 209 participants who completed a series of surveys on sleep quality, music listening habits and earworm frequency. In the 50-participant experimental study, the research team played three popular and catchy songs before bedtime. They randomly assigned participants to listen to the original versions of those songs or the instrumental versions of the songs. And then they used polysomnography (PSG) — a comprehensive test of sleep — to record the participants’ brain waves, heart rates, breathing and more while they were sleeping. The study showed that people who experience earworms regularly at night are six times as likely to have poor sleep quality as people who rarely experience earworms. “Almost everyone thought music improves sleep but we have found that those who listen to more music sleep worse,” Scullin said. “What’s really surprising is that instrumental music leads to worse sleep quality, including greater difficulty falling asleep, more nighttime awakenings, and more time in light stages of sleep. And instrumental music leads to about twice as many earworms.” To get rid of an earworm, engaging in cognitive (认知的) activity — fully focusing on a task, helps to distract your brain from earworms if you don’t want to totally quit your music hobbies (listening to less music before bed is still encouraged). A previous study found that participants who spent five minutes writing down upcoming tasks before bed slept better. 28 What’s the focus of Scullin’s study? A. The characteristics of fine music. B. The categories of people’s sleep patterns. C. The relationship between music listening and sleep. D. The development of the musical education mechanism. 29. Which of the following can best describe the “earworm” phenomenon? A. People get stuck in the mental imagery of musical repetition. B. People are particularly fond of a piece of music or tune. C. People tend to sing a song without realizing it. D. People rely on certain music to fall asleep. 30. What were the participants asked to do during the study? A. Listen to the same versions of the songs. B. Pick their favorite songs before bedtime. C. Use the PSG method to improve sleep quality. D. Offer some personal information and take a sleep test. 31. Which view would Scullin probably agree on? A. Earworm sufferers are usually sound sleepers. B. Earworms are not related to bringing about sleeplessness. C. People should listen to more gentle music before sleep. D. People should try to avoid instrumental music near bedtime. D The 2010s brought no shortage of miraculous technologies, from tablet computers to 4G mobile internet. But these had surprisingly little effect on the economy. During that decade productivity growth in the developed countries averaged a miserable (少得可怜的) 1% a year, holding down average wages. Innovative firms embraced new tech, but many less adventurous ones did not bother. The experience showed that technological breakthroughs and improvements in average living standards do not always go hand in hand. Generative AI, its developers say, will be different. Not since the invention of the internet has a new technology so captured the public imagination. The technology is consumer-friendly: within days of its release to the public, Chat GPT, the most famous AI chat bot, had millions of users. It is easy to see how this innovation could improve all types of work at all types of firms, from increasing the accuracy of doctors’ diagnoses to helping programmers write software code more efficiently. With that said, for AI to truly spread out in the economy, it needs to make its mark beyond the most innovative companies. And this will take time. Although the internet began to be used by some companies in the early 1990s, it was not until the late 2000s that two-thirds of American businesses had a website. About 70 world’s largest firms still show no interest in AI, according to our analysis. Some evidence even suggests that usage of Chat GPT and its competitors is falling — perhaps as people have tried it out, and then decided it is not for them. Indeed, even the most powerful technologies take time to be adopted, because companies tend to use a mix of software and services, some of which may be years or even decades old. Replacing outdated systems can be costly and complicated. Moreover,in the many industries either run or heavily regulated by the government, such as healthcare, education and construction, bosses and trade unions often resist the application of new technology, worried that it will lead to job losses. In time AI could well transform how people live their lives and do their jobs. But the road to widespread usage, and any resulting productivity boom, will be a long one. 32. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. Whether economic growth follows new technologies. B. Why the 2010s is a productive decade. C. How productivity affects average wages. D. What innovative companies care for. 33. What does the author want to indicate by mentioning ChatGPT in paragraph 2? A. AI’s public imagination. B. AI’s huge potential. C. AI’s healthy profits. D. Consumers’ enthusiasm. 34. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Big firms are less motivated to adopt new tech. B. Websites were uncommon in the early 2000s C. Chat GPT is falling behind its competitors. D More efforts are needed to advocate AI. 35. Which word best describes the author’s attitude towards the future of AI? A. Hopeful. B. Worried. C. Cautious. D. Pessimistic. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If the idea of going to the office party makes you worried or you’re in a stressed state about similar get-togethers, you’re not alone. ___36___ It’s part of our nature that we’re concerned about things like reputation and status.

The Tube—that’s what most people call it—is London’s underground railway system. It was about nine o'clock in the morning, the middle of the rush-hour. Nobody had expected something unusual would happen later and everyone was doing their usual: a pretty girl gave her boyfriend sweet kisses one after another. Sitting next to me, a young woman with a suitcase and a baby took a scarf out of her suitcase and made her baby a nest, so that it could lie more comfortably. In fact, the train had just left Green Park Station when, instead of speeding up, it started to slow down and then came to a stand-still. Ten minutes passed, though it seemed like half a day. the train didn’t move. Had the railwaymen forgotten all about our existence? Had there been a crash on the line in front? How serious was the breakdown? We had no means of knowing. However, to anxious people who are stuck in the Tube, I suppose it doesn’t really matter what it is that has broken down. What they care is when they can get out of the trouble. Twenty minutes passed. All hope of getting to work on time had long since gone. Had the train really broken down? Several people thought so, but they were wrong. A railwayman at last came down the length of the train to tell us that the power supply had failed, and that we were not to worry as they were working to put it right. We could not leave the train, as it had stopped in the tunnel (隧道), not at a station. There was nothing else to do. The weak signal disabled cellphones. Besides, the train was getting hot and stuffy (闷). I even began to wonder if we were going to stay there for the rest of the day. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右： 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The hopeless waiting in the darkness drove us crazy. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As a commuter (上班族) who traveled to work on the train every day, I thought it my duty to do something. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Good morning.

The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. To get out of there, she was going to get an education. Her parents tried to save some money to send her to college, but unexpected bills kept hitting the fund. Then a teacher announced that the state was going to give a college scholarship to the two top students from her year. Finally, West got the scholarship, allowing her to attend Virginia State College, a historically black university. West decided to major in mathematics because it was a well-respected subject. It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way. After graduating, she became a teacher. A few years later, she returned to the university and earned a master’s degree in mathematics. Then she was offered a job at a naval base in Dahlgren, Virginia. This made her only the second black woman to be hired to work as a programmer at the base. Despite her intellectual abilities and career success, West felt she was inferior. It was this feeling, deeply rooted and felt, by many African Americans that drove her to work as hard as she could. West determined to commit herself to her work, hoping that by doing it to the best of her ability, she could get recognition for her work. West did just that. In 1979, she became project manager for the Seasat project, the first satellite that could monitor the oceans. She programmed an IBM 7030 Stretch computer, providing faster calculations for an accurate Earthmodel. This detailed mathematical model of the shape of the Earth was a building block for what would become the GPS orbit. In 1998, aged 68, she intended to focus on her PhD after retirement. She eventually finished her graduation thesis and gained her PhD in public administration and policy affairs in 2000 at the age of 70. 24. What helps Gladys West to go to the university? A. Her teacher’s aiding her. B. Her parents’ paying for the expenses. C. Her family background. D. The scholarship from the government. 25. What can we infer from the text? A. West got all her degrees after retirement. B. Men dominated maths field in West’s days. C. Black women scientists ' talent was fully appreciated. D. When she began to work, West felt she was superior to others. 26. What does the underlined phrase “a building block” in paragraph 5 mean? A. A basic part. B. A detailed map. C. A building material. D. A major obstacle. 27. What kind of person is Gladys West? A. Helpful and serious. B. Honest and hardworking. C. Ambitious and committed. D. Considerate and devoted. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了出生农民家庭的West通过自己的不懈努力考进大学研究数学专业，最后成为一名优秀的女科学家并作出巨大贡献的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Finally, West got the scholarship, allowing her to attend Virginia State College, a historically black university.(最后，West获得了奖学金，使她得以进入弗吉尼亚州立大学，这是一所历史上的黑人大学。)”可知，是奖学金使得West能够进入大学。故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way.(这主要是由男性研究的，但她并没有太在意他们，因为她内心深处知道，没有什么能阻挡她。)”可知，在West那个时代里，男人主宰着数学领域。故选B项。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句前文“She programmed an IBM 7030 Stretch computer, providing faster calculations for an accurate Earthmodel. (她编写了一台IBM 7030 Stretch计算机，为精确的地球模型提供了更快的计算。)”说明这个数学模型是GPS的基础，从而推知划线词句“(这个关于地球形状的详细数学模型是GPS轨道的a building block。)”其中划线短语应为“基石”的意思，与A项同义。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“West decided to major in mathematics because it was a well-respected subject. It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way. After graduating, she became a teacher. A few years later, she returned to the university and earned a master’s degree in mathematics. (West决定主修数学，因为这是一门受人尊敬的学科。这主要是由男性研究的，但她并没有太注意他们，因为她内心深处知道，没有什么能阻挡她。毕业后，她成为了一名教师。几年后，她回到大学，获得了数学硕士学位。)”以及第二段中“In 1998, aged 68, she intended to focus on her PhD after retirement. She eventually finished her graduation thesis and gained her PhD in public administration and policy affairs in 2000 at the age of 70. (1998年，68岁的她打算在退休后专心攻读博士学位。她最终完成了毕业论文，并于2000年以70岁高龄获得了公共行政政策博士学位。)”可知，West是一位有雄心抱负的人。根据第四段中“West determined to commit herself to her work, hoping that by doing it to the best of her ability, she could get recognition for her work. (West决定全身心地投入到自己的工作中，希望通过尽自己最大的努力，让自己的工作得到认可。)”可知，她是一位尽心尽力的人。故选C项。 C Most people often listen to music near bedtime to relax. But can that actually cause your sleep to suffer? When sleep researcher Michael Scullin realized that he was waking in the middle of the night with a song stuck in his head, he saw an opportunity. He decided to study a rarely-explored mechanism (机制): how music — and particularly songs stuck in one’s head — might affect sleep patterns. Scullin said, “Everyone knows that music listening feels good. Young adults routinely listen to music near bedtime. Thus, they are easy to experience ‘earworms’ — involuntary musical imagery. It’s a condition where a song or tune will replay over and over in our mind, and our brains continue to process music even when none is playing, including apparently while we are asleep.” Scullin’s recent study included a survey and a laboratory experiment. The survey involved 209 participants who completed a series of surveys on sleep quality, music listening habits and earworm frequency. In the 50-participant experimental study, the research team played three popular and catchy songs before bedtime. They randomly assigned participants to listen to the original versions of those songs or the instrumental versions of the songs. And then they used polysomnography (PSG) — a comprehensive test of sleep — to record the participants’ brain waves, heart rates, breathing and more while they were sleeping. The study showed that people who experience earworms regularly at night are six times as likely to have poor sleep quality as people who rarely experience earworms. “Almost everyone thought music improves sleep but we have found that those who listen to more music sleep worse,” Scullin said. “What’s really surprising is that instrumental music leads to worse sleep quality, including greater difficulty falling asleep, more nighttime awakenings, and more time in light stages of sleep. And instrumental music leads to about twice as many earworms.” To get rid of an earworm, engaging in cognitive (认知的) activity — fully focusing on a task, helps to distract your brain from earworms if you don’t want to totally quit your music hobbies (listening to less music before bed is still encouraged). A previous study found that participants who spent five minutes writing down upcoming tasks before bed slept better. 28. What’s the focus of Scullin’s study? A. The characteristics of fine music. B. The categories of people’s sleep patterns. C. The relationship between music listening and sleep. D. The development of the musical education mechanism. 29. Which of the following can best describe the “earworm” phenomenon? A. People get stuck in the mental imagery of musical repetition. B. People are particularly fond of a piece of music or tune. C. People tend to sing a song without realizing it. D. People rely on certain music to fall asleep. 30. What were the participants asked to do during the study? A. Listen to the same versions of the songs. B. Pick their favorite songs before bedtime. C. Use the PSG method to improve sleep quality. D. Offer some personal information and take a sleep test. 31. Which view would Scullin probably agree on? A. Earworm sufferers are usually sound sleepers. B. Earworms are not related to bringing about sleeplessness. C. People should listen to more gentle music before sleep. D. People should try to avoid instrumental music near bedtime. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究，迈克尔·斯卡林进行的关于睡前音乐与睡眠质量关系的研究，研究发现睡前音乐会严重影响人们的睡眠质量。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中的“He decided to study a rarely-explored mechanism (机制): how music — and particularly songs stuck in one’s head — might affect sleep patterns. (他决定研究一个很少被探索的机制：音乐——尤其是萦绕在脑海中的歌曲——如何影响睡眠模式)”可知，斯库林的研究重点是听音乐和睡眠之间的关系。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“Thus, they are easy to experience ‘earworms’ — involuntary musical imagery. It’s a condition where a song or tune will replay over and over in our mind, and our brains continue to process music even when none is playing, including apparently while we are asleep. (因此，他们很容易体验到‘耳虫’——一种非自愿的音乐意象。在这种情况下，一首歌或一首曲子会在我们的脑海中一遍又一遍地回放，即使没有音乐播放，我们的大脑也会继续处理音乐，包括在我们睡觉的时候)”可知，“人们陷入了音乐重复的心理意象中”最能描述“耳虫”现象。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中的“The survey involved 209 participants who completed a series of surveys on sleep quality, music listening habits and earworm frequency. (这项调查涉及209名参与者，他们完成了一系列关于睡眠质量、听音乐习惯和耳虫频率的调查)”和“And then they used polysomnography (PSG) — a comprehensive test of sleep — to record the participants’ brain waves, heart rates, breathing and more while they were sleeping. (然后，他们使用多导睡眠图（PSG）——一种全面的睡眠测试——记录参与者在睡觉时的脑电波、心率、呼吸等)”可知，研究期间，参与者被要求提供一些个人信息并进行睡眠测试。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“To get rid of an earworm, engaging in cognitive (认知的) activity — fully focusing on a task, helps to distract your brain from earworms if you don’t want to totally quit your music hobbies (listening to less music before bed is still encouraged). (如果你不想完全放弃音乐爱好（仍然鼓励睡前少听音乐），那么为了摆脱耳虫，进行认知活动——完全专注于一项任务——有助于分散你的大脑对耳虫的注意力)”可知，斯库林建议睡前少听音乐，进行认知活动，完全专注于一项任务，分散你的大脑对耳虫的注意力，可得出他会同意“人们应该尽量避免在睡前听器乐”。故选D项。 D The 2010s brought no shortage of miraculous technologies, from tablet computers to 4G mobile internet. But these had surprisingly little effect on the economy. During that decade productivity growth in the developed countries averaged a miserable (少得可怜的) 1% a year, holding down average wages. Innovative firms embraced new tech, but many less adventurous ones did not bother. The experience showed that technological breakthroughs and improvements in average living standards do not always go hand in hand. Generative AI, its developers say, will be different. Not since the invention of the internet has a new technology so captured the public imagination. The technology is consumer-friendly: within days of its release to the public, Chat GPT, the most famous AI chat bot, had millions of users. It is easy to see how this innovation could improve all types of work at all types of firms, from increasing the accuracy of doctors’ diagnoses to helping programmers write software code more efficiently. With that said, for AI to truly spread out in the economy, it needs to make its mark beyond the most innovative companies. And this will take time. Although the internet began to be used by some companies in the early 1990s, it was not until the late 2000s that two-thirds of American businesses had a website. About 70 world’s largest firms still show no interest in AI, according to our analysis. Some evidence even suggests that usage of Chat GPT and its competitors is falling — perhaps as people have tried it out, and then decided it is not for them. Indeed, even the most powerful technologies take time to be adopted, because companies tend to use a mix of software and services, some of which may be years or even decades old. Replacing outdated systems can be costly and complicated. Moreover,in the many industries either run or heavily regulated by the government, such as healthcare, education and construction, bosses and trade unions often resist the application of new technology, worried that it will lead to job losses. In time AI could well transform how people live their lives and do their jobs. But the road to widespread usage, and any resulting productivity boom, will be a long one. 32.

But these had surprisingly little effect on the economy. During that decade productivity growth in the developed countries averaged a miserable (少得可怜的) 1% a year, holding down average wages. Innovative firms embraced new tech, but many less adventurous ones did not bother. The experience showed that technological breakthroughs and improvements in average living standards do not always go hand in hand.(2010年代不乏奇迹般的技术，从平板电脑到4G移动互联网。但令人惊讶的是，这些措施对经济的影响微乎其微。在那十年里，发达国家的生产率平均每年增长可怜的1%，压低了平均工资。创新的公司拥抱新技术，但许多不那么冒险的公司却不闻不问。经验表明，技术突破和平均生活水平的提高并不总是齐头并进的)”可知，第一段主要谈论新技术的诞生是否一定会导致经济增长。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“within days of its release to the public, Chat GPT, the most famous AI chat bot, had millions of users. It is easy to see how this innovation could improve all types of work at all types of firms, from increasing the accuracy of doctors’ diagnoses to helping programmers write software code more efficiently.(其开发人员表示，生成式人工智能将有所不同。自互联网发明以来，还没有一项新技术如此俘获了公众的想象力。这项技术对消费者很友好：在向公众发布后的几天内，最著名的人工智能聊天机器人Chat GPT就拥有了数百万用户。从提高医生诊断的准确性到帮助程序员更有效地编写软件代码，很容易看出这种创新如何改善所有类型公司的所有类型的工作)”可推知，作者在第二段提到GPT是想说明人工智能的巨大潜力。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“With that said, for AI to truly spread out in the economy, it needs to make its mark beyond the most innovative companies. And this will take time.(话虽如此，人工智能要想真正在经济中普及开来，它需要在最具创新性的公司之外留下印记。这需要时间)”可推知，推广人工智能还需要做出更多的努力。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Indeed, even the most powerful technologies take time to be adopted, because companies tend to use a mix of software and services, some of which may be years or even decades old.(事实上，即使是最强大的技术也需要时间来被采用，因为公司倾向于使用软件和服务的混合，其中一些可能已经有几年甚至几十年的历史了)”以及最后一句“In time AI could well transform how people live their lives and do their jobs. But the road to widespread usage, and any resulting productivity boom, will be a long one.(假以时日，人工智能很可能会改变人们的生活和工作方式。但是，广泛使用的道路，以及由此带来的生产力繁荣，将是一条漫长的道路)”可推知，作者对人工智能的未来是谨慎的。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If the idea of going to the office party makes you worried or you’re in a stressed state about similar get-togethers, you’re not alone. ___36___ It’s part of our nature that we’re concerned about things like reputation and status.

And in the worst cases, it will lead you to act more awkwardly. Anything you can do to try to get it out of your head ought to alleviate (缓解) your anxiety. Further, why not set yourself a small goal of being on the lookout for anyone else seeming uncomfortable or left out? There must be people feeling that way, and you could help make their experience more positive. Above all, remember that avoidance never helps anxiety. What’s more, don’t expect too much of yourself.

The Tube—that’s what most people call it—is London’s underground railway system. It was about nine o'clock in the morning, the middle of the rush-hour. Nobody had expected something unusual would happen later and everyone was doing their usual: a pretty girl gave her boyfriend sweet kisses one after another. Sitting next to me, a young woman with a suitcase and a baby took a scarf out of her suitcase and made her baby a nest, so that it could lie more comfortably. In fact, the train had just left Green Park Station when, instead of speeding up, it started to slow down and then came to a stand-still. Ten minutes passed, though it seemed like half a day. the train didn’t move. Had the railwaymen forgotten all about our existence? Had there been a crash on the line in front? How serious was the breakdown? We had no means of knowing. However, to anxious people who are stuck in the Tube, I suppose it doesn’t really matter what it is that has broken down. What they care is when they can get out of the trouble. Twenty minutes passed. All hope of getting to work on time had long since gone. Had the train really broken down? Several people thought so, but they were wrong. A railwayman at last came down the length of the train to tell us that the power supply had failed, and that we were not to worry as they were working to put it right. We could not leave the train, as it had stopped in the tunnel (隧道), not at a station. There was nothing else to do. The weak signal disabled cellphones. Besides, the train was getting hot and stuffy (闷). I even began to wonder if we were going to stay there for the rest of the day. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右： 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The hopeless waiting in the darkness drove us crazy. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As a commuter (上班族) who traveled to work on the train every day, I thought it my duty to do something. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The hopeless waiting in the darkness drove us crazy. We could not bear the heat inside the train any longer. Those standing by the windows attempted to open them to let in fresh air but ended up in failure. The impatient complaints were mixed with angry punches on the wall, which made the baby in the comfortable nest burst out crying. As a commuter who traveled to work on the train every day, I thought it my duty to do something. Clearing my throat, I picked up my courage and started a song for the baby as well as for everyone out there: Twinkle, Twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are…Unexpectedly, my neighboring passengers joined me immediately they heard me. Then, more and more passengers joined in the song. When we finished the song in chorus, a cheer went up. Because the light flashed and the train moved slowly off towards the next station. At the same time, I could see our faces lit up. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一天上班途中，火车突然停了下来，车上的人们纷纷猜测发生了什么，二十分钟后，人们终于弄清楚，是火车电源失灵了，正在检修中，因为在隧道里，作者和其他乘客只能呆在又热又闷的火车里，怀疑自己是否会在那里呆一整天。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“黑暗中绝望的等待把我们逼疯了。”可知，第一段可描写作者他们在闷热的火车里很难受，新鲜空气进不来，乘客开始抱怨、焦躁起来。 ②由第二段首句内容“作为一个每天坐火车上班的通勤者，我认为做点什么是我的责任。”可知，第二段可描写在这样的不安的情况下，作者唱起小星星，没想到越来越多的乘客加入唱歌，歌唱完，火车灯亮了，火车启动了，人们也露出喜色了。 2.续写线索：等待——抱怨——唱歌——一起唱——火车启动——露出喜色 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①等待：waiting in the darkness ②开始唱歌：started a song ③立即加入我：joined me immediately ④露出喜色：lit up 情绪类 ①绝望的：hopeless ②不耐烦的抱怨：The impatient complaints ③突然大哭起来：burst out crying ④一阵欢呼声：a cheer 【点睛】[高分句型1].
