B Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack. “What are you doing with that money?” Jackie asked her granddaughter. “I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. “I’m going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn’t get milk— her mom doesn’t have milk money and I do.” Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms. Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk. It costs $ 0.45 a carton (纸盒). The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day. After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter’s plan. To her surprise, many people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1,000. Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year. Jackie said Sunshine doesn’t see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends. “She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” Jackie said. “But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.” 24. Why did Sunshine empty her piggy bank? A. She hoped to show off her savings in class. B. She needed to train her counting skills. C. She wanted to play with the coins. D. She intended to pay for her friend’s milk. 25. How did Jackie feel upon hearing Sunshine’s words? A. Relieved. B. Touched. C. Curious. D. Proud. 26. In Jackie’s eyes, what did Sunshine learn from the experience? A. Two heads are better than one. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. 27. What is the best title for this passage? A. Small Coins, Big Changes. B. Jackie’s Piggy Bank. C. Piggy Bank and Carton Milk. D. A Moved Grandmother. C Birds usually build their nests with sticks, leaves or grass. But do you know that birds are also building their nests with rubbish these years? The rubbish includes cigarette butts (烟头) and plastic bags. A group of European scientists looked into about 35,000 studies on bird nests. They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on Earth except Antarctica. Some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds “like” putting it in their nests. For example, cigarette butts have a special smell, so they can keep insects away and protect the baby birds. Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger. However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring more harm to birds. The toxic chemicals in cigarettes hurt the baby birds. They may get sick or have shorter lives, according to a study. To make matters worse, if the cigarette still burns when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net may also trap birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If the baby birds eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt. Our bird friends in the air are feeling the bad effects of humans polluting the environment. 28. What did the European scientists find? A. There is rubbish in the nests of many birds. B. Some people help birds build their nests. C. There is almost no bird living in Antarctica. D. Birds can help pick up rubbish. 29. What does the underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Smelly. B. Beneficial. C. Poisonous. D. Splendid. 30 How can cigarette butts “help” birds? A. They can burn other harmful rubbish. B. They can make nests stronger. C. They can keep birds warm. D. They can keep insects away. 31. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The harmful activities that humans have done to the environment. B. The harm that the environment brings to the wild animals. C. The reason why birds like using rubbish to build their nests. D. Human rubbish may bring more harm to birds. D If you have ever dreamed of making money from making music but are worried that you have little talent, don’t let that stop you — a man called Alex Mitchell might be able to help. Mr. Mitchell is the founder and boss of a website and app called Boomy, which helps its users create their own songs using artificial intelligence (AI) software. It is easy to use the app to help you compose the music. What you need to do is choose from a number of types, click on “create song”, and the AI will compose one for you in less than 30 seconds. It is able to quickly choose the song’s style and melody (旋律). And from there you can then finish your song with ease. You can do things such as adding or removing instruments, making everything sound brighter or softer, and recording some songs. But, how good are these Boomy-created songs? It has to be said that they do sound very computer-produced. You wouldn’t mistake them for a group of people making music using real instruments. However, using AI to help create music isn’t quite new. US classical composer, David Cope, developed such a software system back in the 1980s. One day he set it up to write pieces similar to those by Johann Sebastian Bach. Mr. Cope then went out for a sandwich, and returned to find that the computer had created 5,000 Bach-styled pieces. These were later made public on an album called Bach on purpose. More recently, in 2019, US electronic music composer, Holly Herndon, made an album called PROTO working together with an AI system called Spawn that she had co-created. Mr. Mitchell says that technological advancements in AI have made songwriting software much cheaper. It’s not just for musicians anymore, it’s for most people like you and me. 32. What’s the purpose of setting up Boomy? A. To develop music education. B. To record and sell music for money. C. To help users learn AI technology. D. To help users create their own songs. 33. What can we learn about creating music by using AI? A. It is difficult to master. B. It is highly effective. C. It is newly invented. D. It is only fit for Bach’s works. 34. What can be inferred about songwriting software from the last paragraph? A. It is becoming more expensive. B. It is becoming less popular. C. It is becoming more convenient. D. It is becoming less important. 35. Which part of a newspaper does the passage most probably come from? A. Culture. B. Environment. C. Lifestyle. D. Technology. 七选五（共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分） What’ s a micro activity? I consider this question about the word “micro” whenever it appears. ____36____ Quite literally, it means “extremely small”.

And as I couldn’t stand to just throw the left plants, I decided to hold a plant sale by the side of the road. I had 30 small tomato plants for a start as well as other young vegetable plants. Within a few hours, I had gotten back the cost of growing the vegetables, and I could tell that passers- by were enjoying the cheap plants, so I went to look for more plants from the ones I hadn’t yet planted. In this way, the plants I sold increased a lot. Honestly, I could have sold twice as many, maybe the next year. The most exciting thing happened on the first day when I was in the kitchen writing up the price list and noticed a car back into our driveway. I went out to find a young lady on her way to work and of course we began to talk. She told me that she worked at a centre for homeless children. Although they had a garden, it was filled with a lot of wild grass. She wanted to grow some plants to light it up. Besides, she wanted to grow green vegetables for her children to improve their living conditions. Her kindness moved me. I told her it was a great idea. I advised her on how to prepare the soil, how to choose the types of vegetables, how to water them, and how to care for them. I also suggested that she ask the children to help her grow vegetables. She thanked me and said that my advice was very useful to her, which increased her confidence in growing vegetables well. 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。 At the same time, I decided to try my best to make her wish come true. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About six months later, that woman invited me to her center.______________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 创新高级中学 2024 年下学期期中考试高二 英语试题 （本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。 满分150分,考试时间120分钟） 第一部分 听力 (共两节,满分30分) 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the woman invite the man to do?

Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack. “What are you doing with that money?” Jackie asked her granddaughter. “I’m taking it to school,” Sunshine replied. “I’m going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn’t get milk— her mom doesn’t have milk money and I do.” Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms. Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine’s class and about half don’t get milk. It costs $ 0.45 a carton (纸盒). The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day. After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter’s plan. To her surprise, many people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than $1,000. Now every student in Sunshine’s class can get free milk for the rest of the year. Jackie said Sunshine doesn’t see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends. “She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” Jackie said. “But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.” 24. Why did Sunshine empty her piggy bank? A. She hoped to show off her savings in class. B. She needed to train her counting skills. C. She wanted to play with the coins. D. She intended to pay for her friend’s milk. 25. How did Jackie feel upon hearing Sunshine’s words? A. Relieved. B. Touched. C. Curious. D. Proud. 26. In Jackie’s eyes, what did Sunshine learn from the experience? A. Two heads are better than one. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. 27. What is the best title for this passage? A. Small Coins, Big Changes. B. Jackie’s Piggy Bank. C. Piggy Bank and Carton Milk. D. A Moved Grandmother. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述小女孩Sunshine用自己存钱罐里面的零钱帮助朋友买牛奶，并起到了连锁反应，最后在许多人的捐赠下，让班里的所有孩子们都能喝到免费的牛奶。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I’m going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn’t get milk — her mom doesn’t have milk money and I do. (我要拿它当牛奶钱。我的朋友蕾拉没有牛奶——她妈妈没有牛奶钱，我也有)”可知，Sunshine掏空她的存钱罐是为了给她的朋友买牛奶。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Jackie’s heart melted at Sunshine’s words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms. (Sunshine的话使Jackie的心都融化了。被强烈的感情所窒息，Jackie紧紧地把她甜美的孙女抱在怀里)”可推知，Sunshine的话使Jackie触动很深，很感动。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Jackie said Sunshine doesn’t see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends. “She doesn’t understand the effect she’s brought about,” Jackie said. “But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to.”(Jackie说Sunshine并不认为她的善良行为有什么大不了的。她只是想照顾她的朋友。“她不明白自己所带来的影响，”Jackie说。“但现在她知道只要用心，她可以做到任何她想做的事情。”)”可推知，在Jackie看来，只要Sunshine用心，她可以做到任何她想做的事情。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Two weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack.(两周前，一个名叫Sunshine Oelfke的5岁女孩把她的存钱罐倒在客厅地板上，并立即开始数。她的祖母Jackie Oelfke在仔细排列硬币时以为自己在玩，但后来她看到女孩把硬币放进一个塑料袋，放在背包里)”及下文内容可知，本文主要讲述小女孩Sunshine用自己存钱罐里面的零钱帮助朋友买牛奶，并起到了连锁反应，最后在许多人的捐赠下，让班里的所有孩子们都能喝到免费的牛奶。由此可知，Small Coins, Big Changes(小硬币，大变革)适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。 C Birds usually build their nests with sticks, leaves or grass. But do you know that birds are also building their nests with rubbish these years? The rubbish includes cigarette butts (烟头) and plastic bags. A group of European scientists looked into about 35,000 studies on bird nests. They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on Earth except Antarctica. Some rubbish seems to be helpful. This is why birds “like” putting it in their nests. For example, cigarette butts have a special smell, so they can keep insects away and protect the baby birds. Plastic bags are useful in keeping the animals warm, and other hard things, such as paper cards, can make nests stronger. However, in the end, human rubbish may only bring more harm to birds. The toxic chemicals in cigarettes hurt the baby birds. They may get sick or have shorter lives, according to a study. To make matters worse, if the cigarette still burns when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net may also trap birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If the baby birds eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt. Our bird friends in the air are feeling the bad effects of humans polluting the environment. 28. What did the European scientists find? A. There is rubbish in the nests of many birds. B. Some people help birds build their nests. C. There is almost no bird living in Antarctica. D. Birds can help pick up rubbish. 29. What does the underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Smelly. B. Beneficial. C. Poisonous. D. Splendid. 30. How can cigarette butts “help” birds? A. They can burn other harmful rubbish. B. They can make nests stronger. C. They can keep birds warm. D. They can keep insects away. 31. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The harmful activities that humans have done to the environment. B. The harm that the environment brings to the wild animals. C. The reason why birds like using rubbish to build their nests. D. Human rubbish may bring more harm to birds. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对于鸟类在筑巢时使用垃圾这一现象进行了介绍，特别是探讨了鸟类为何会利用像烟头和塑料袋等人造物品筑巢，以及这一行为背后对鸟类产生的正反两面影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They found that birds have used man-made things in nests almost everywhere on Earth except Antarctica.”（他们发现除了南极洲之外，几乎地球上所有地方鸟巢中都有人造物品）可知，欧洲科学家发现许多鸟类的巢穴中有垃圾。故选A项。 【29题详解】 词义推测题。根据文章第三段“The toxic chemicals in cigarettes hurt the baby birds.”（烟头中的toxic化学物质伤害幼鸟）可知，有毒的化学物质会伤害幼鸟。toxic的意思是“有毒的”，与C项“Poisonous”同义。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For example, cigarette butts have a special smell, so they can keep insects away and protect the baby birds.”（例如，烟头有一种特殊的味道，可以驱赶昆虫，保护幼鸟）可知，烟头可以帮助鸟类是因为它们能驱赶昆虫。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“To make matters worse, if the cigarette still burns when the bird brings it back to its home, it may set fire to the nest. Pieces of fishing net may also trap birds, and it’s impossible for them to get out by themselves. If the baby birds eat other kinds of rubbish by accident, they will also get hurt. Our bird friends in the air are feeling the bad effects of humans polluting the environment.”（更糟糕的是，如果烟还在燃烧，当鸟把它带回它的家，它可能会点燃鸟巢。渔网的碎片也可能困住鸟类，它们不可能自己出来。如果幼鸟不小心吃了其他种类的垃圾，它们也会受伤。我们在空中的鸟朋友正在感受人类污染环境的不良影响。）可知，第四段主要关于人类的垃圾可能会给鸟类带来更多的伤害。故选D项。 D If you have ever dreamed of making money from making music but are worried that you have little talent, don’t let that stop you — a man called Alex Mitchell might be able to help. Mr. Mitchell is the founder and boss of a website and app called Boomy, which helps its users create their own songs using artificial intelligence (AI) software. It is easy to use the app to help you compose the music. What you need to do is choose from a number of types click on “create song”, and the AI will compose one for you in less than 30 seconds. It is able to quickly choose the song’s style and melody (旋律). And from there you can then finish your song with ease. You can do things such as adding or removing instruments, making everything sound brighter or softer, and recording some songs. But, how good are these Boomy-created songs? It has to be said that they do sound very computer-produced. You wouldn’t mistake them for a group of people making music using real instruments. However, using AI to help create music isn’t quite new. US classical composer, David Cope, developed such a software system back in the 1980s. One day he set it up to write pieces similar to those by Johann Sebastian Bach. Mr. Cope then went out for a sandwich, and returned to find that the computer had created 5,000 Bach-styled pieces. These were later made public on an album called Bach on purpose. More recently, in 2019, US electronic music composer, Holly Herndon, made an album called PROTO working together with an AI system called Spawn that she had co-created. Mr. Mitchell says that technological advancements in AI have made songwriting software much cheaper. It’s not just for musicians anymore, it’s for most people like you and me. 32. What’s the purpose of setting up Boomy? A. To develop music education. B. To record and sell music for money. C. To help users learn AI technology. D. To help users create their own songs. 33. What can we learn about creating music by using AI? A. It is difficult to master. B. It is highly effective. C. It is newly invented. D. It is only fit for Bach’s works. 34. What can be inferred about songwriting software from the last paragraph? A. It is becoming more expensive. B. It is becoming less popular. C. It is becoming more convenient. D. It is becoming less important. 35. Which part of a newspaper does the passage most probably come from? A. Culture. B. Environment. C. Lifestyle. D. Technology. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个名为Boomy的网站和应用程序，它使用人工智能软件帮助用户创作自己的歌曲。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Mr. Mitchell is the founder and boss of a website and app called Boomy, which helps its users create their own songs using artificial intelligence (AI) software.(Mitchell先生是一个名为Boomy的网站和应用程序的创始人和老板，该应用程序帮助用户使用人工智能（AI）软件创建自己的歌曲)”可知，建立Boomy网站和应用程序的目的是帮助用户创作自己的歌曲。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“One day he set it up to write pieces similar to those by Johann Sebastian Bach. Mr. Cope then went out for a sandwich, and returned to find that the computer had created 5,000 Bach-styled pieces.(有一天，他将其设置为写类似于约翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫的作品。然后，Cope先生出去吃三明治，回来后发现电脑已经创作了5000首巴赫风格的乐曲)”可知，使用人工智能创作音乐的效率非常高。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mr. Mitchell says that technological advancements in AI have made songwriting software much cheaper. It’s not just for musicians anymore, it’s for most people like you and me.(Mitchell先生说，人工智能的技术进步使歌曲创作软件便宜得多。这不再只是音乐家的事，而是像你我这样的大多数人的事)”可知，Mitchell先生表示人工智能的技术进步使歌曲创作软件便宜得多。由此可推知，目前的音乐创作软件变得更加容易获取了。故选C。 【35题详解】 推断判断题。根据第二段“Mr. Mitchell is the founder and boss of a website and app called Boomy, which helps its users create their own songs using artificial intelligence (AI) software.(Mitchell先生是一个名为Boomy的网站和应用程序的创始人和老板，该应用程序帮助用户使用人工智能（AI）软件创建自己的歌曲)”以及全文可知，文章主要介绍了如何使用AI软件创作音乐，包括使用 Boomy网站和应用程序的步骤和特点，以及AI技术在音乐创作中的应用和优势。因此，应出现在报纸的科技版面。故选D。 七选五（共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分） What’ s a micro activity? I consider this question about the word “micro” whenever it appears. ____36____ Quite literally, it means “extremely small”. But in this article, a micro activity will refer to something which takes up no more than five minutes of your time. The following recommendations are micro activities you should do for your body. Self-Massage (自我按摩) Self-massaging should become a part of your daily musts. ____37____As we get older, our muscles (肌肉) tighten. But if we self-massage, these muscles will feel cared for. According to the Mayo Clinic, massage can reduce stress and increase relaxation. Intensive Exercise There are many benefits of intensive exercise (高强度运动). And do you know what else it does for your body? It makes your body realize it can do so much more. In less than five minutes, the goal is to break a sweat. This can be from running or lifting weights. ____38____ Let Loose Whether it be dancing, skipping or something else, our body should do whatever it feels like doing without judgment. ____39____Thus we will feel happy and relaxed. Be Still ____40____Your body loves movement. But we must find a few moments of stillness throughout our day. By devoting ourselves to more stillness, we can find ourselves more at peace and less stressed even under hard circumstances. A. Did you regret doing it? B. What does it really mean? C. Don’t give yourself too much pressure. D. It should be as necessary as brushing your teeth or taking a shower. E. Every activity involves some sort of movement. F. The playful nature helps bring out the inner child and promotes creativity and joy. G. It doesn’t matter which activity you choose, so long as you bring intensity to that workout. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. G 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了微活动，即占用你不超过五分钟时间的活动。 【36题详解】 下文“Quite literally, it means “extremely small”. But in this article, a micro activity will refer to something which takes up no more than five minutes of your time.(确切地说，它的意思是“非常小”。但在本文中，微活动指的是占用你不超过五分钟时间的活动。)”说明上文应该提出问题，微活动的含义是什么。B选项“What does it really mean?（这到底意味着什么？）”提出了问题，下文就给了解释。故选B. 【37题详解】 上文“Self-massaging should become a part of your daily musts.(自我按摩应该成为你日常必备的一部分。)”说明自我按摩非常重要。刷牙和洗澡是每个人必备的日常活动。D选项“It should be as necessary as brushing your teeth or taking a shower.（这应该和刷牙或洗澡一样必要。）”这里作者表面自我按摩对每个人而言要跟刷牙和洗澡一样每天都要进行。符合上文所说日常按摩要成为日常必需的一部分。故选D. 【38题详解】 上文“In less than five minutes, the goal is to break a sweat. This can be from running or lifting weights.(在不到五分钟的时间里，我们的目标是流汗。这可能来自跑步或举重。)”说明微活动中的高强度运动的目标是让人们流汗。G选项“It doesn’t matter which activity you choose, so long as you bring intensity to that workout.（你选择哪项运动并不重要，只要你能给训练带来强度。）”符合上文作者说的无论你选择哪种活动，都需要能达到流汗的强度。故选G. 【39题详解】 根据下文“Thus we will feel happy and relaxed.(这样我们就会感到快乐和放松。)”可知，空格处的句子应该说到“什么事让我们感到快乐和放松”，所以F选项“The playful nature helps bring out the inner child and promotes creativity and joy.（顽皮的天性有助于激发内心的童心，促进创造力和快乐。）”填入空格处，和上文是顺接关系，符合语境。故选F. 【40题详解】 根据下文“Your body loves movement. But we must find a few moments of stillness throughout our day.

And as I couldn’t stand to just throw the left plants, I decided to hold a plant sale by the side of the road. I had 30 small tomato plants for a start as well as other young vegetable plants. Within a few hours, I had gotten back the cost of growing the vegetables, and I could tell that passers- by were enjoying the cheap plants, so I went to look for more plants from the ones I hadn’t yet planted. In this way, the plants I sold increased a lot. Honestly, I could have sold twice as many, maybe the next year. The most exciting thing happened on the first day when I was in the kitchen writing up the price list and noticed a car back into our driveway. I went out to find a young lady on her way to work and of course we began to talk. She told me that she worked at a centre for homeless children. Although they had a garden, it was filled with a lot of wild grass. She wanted to grow some plants to light it up. Besides, she wanted to grow green vegetables for her children to improve their living conditions. Her kindness moved me. I told her it was a great idea. I advised her on how to prepare the soil, how to choose the types of vegetables, how to water them, and how to care for them. I also suggested that she ask the children to help her grow vegetables. She thanked me and said that my advice was very useful to her, which increased her confidence in growing vegetables well. 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。 At the same time, I decided to try my best to make her wish come true. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ About six months later, that woman invited me to her center.______________________________________________________________ 【答案】At the same time, I decided to try my best to make her wish come true. I told her that I still had many left plants that she could plant them in her garden. Hearing this, the lady felt very pleased, thanking me again and again. I collected all the lefted plants that I had planned to sell and gave them to the lady. Then I showed then how to plant them step by step, the lady listening with attention like an eager student. Half an hour later, when the lady was ready to leave, I prepared some fertilizer that she could use to plant the plants and gave it to her. The lady left with all the plants and fertilizer. About six months later, that woman invited me to her center. She led me to her garden where I saw many types vegetables that grew well. With all the vegetables, the garden that used to be filled with a lot of wild grass lighted up. Then she told me how she planted them and watered them. Obviously she had become a good gardener. She told me that when the vegetables were harvested the homeless children would have more fresh vegetables to eat. Hearing this, I felt very proud of her. She also told me that the children in the center learned a lot by helping grow and care for the vegetables in the garden. I admired her for what she had done for the center and the children from the bottom of my heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者如何帮助一位在无家可归儿童中心工作的女士种植蔬菜的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“与此同时，我决定尽我所能让她的愿望成真。”可知，第一段可描写作者将蔬菜幼苗送给那位女士并教她怎样种植。 ②由第二段首句内容“大约六个月后，那位女士邀请我去她的儿童中心。”可知，第二段可描写作者到达儿童中心后看到的情况和感悟。 2.续写线索：送女士蔬菜幼苗——教她种植——应邀到儿童中心——看到蔬菜的长势——了解女士的付出——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①种植：plant/grow ②收集：collect/gather ③收获：harvest/get in 情绪类 ①高兴的：pleased/happy ②为……骄傲：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1] Then I showed then how to plant them step by step, the lady listening with attention like an eager student.（运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] She led me to her garden where I saw many types vegetables that grew well.（由关系副词where引导限制性定语从句和关系代词that引导的限制性定语从句） [高分句型3] I admired her for what she had done for the center and the children from the bottom of my heart.（由连接代词what引导的名词性从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
