From her early days on the gym floor to her life after finding Olympic fame, the change of Gabby Douglas has been quite the stunning one indeed. Gabby Douglas’ talent for gymnastics was apparent from a young age. At the tender age of three, the younger Douglas was turning cartwheels. Just two years after beginning her formal gymnastics training. Douglas won Virginia’s state gymnastics championship. She gained more wins over the years, and it was soon evident that she wasn’t just a talented gymnast, but a possible Olympic competitor. At the age of 14, Gabby Douglas knew that for her to make it to the Olympics, she needed a change. She’d already been homeschooled for years to focus on her training, and she set her sights on training with Liang Chow, a coach who has worked with Shawn Johnson. But Chow’s gym was in West Des Moines, Iowa — not exactly within commuting distance of her home in Virginia. Moving halfway across the country was not easy for the young Gabby Douglas. She felt seriously out of place as one of few black people there. Douglas also felt much anxiety about chasing her Olympic dream. It would be years before Douglas opened up about the fears she faced on her road to the Olympics. She once said, “When I started this journey, I never knew what it took to get to the Olympics. I had a lot of self-doubt. You have to believe that you’re good enough and not give up.” Douglas eventually found the determination to stick with her dream, no matter how tough the journey. Not only did she help her team win gold, but she also won gold in the all-around — making her the first black woman to do so. She said, “It was unbelievable that I had spent my whole life dreaming about this one specific goal and achieved it.” 4. What made Douglas decide to have a change at 14? A. Her Olympic dream. B. Her talent for gymnastics. C. Her desire to train with Liang Chow. D. Her tiredness of being homeschooled. 5. Why was Douglas anxious when chasing her dream? A. She thought she was not talented enough. B. She had to compete with Shawn Johnson. C. She didn’t like the training methods in Iowa. D. She was uncertain about how to get to the Olympics. 6. What words can be used to best describe Douglas? A. Talented but crazy. B. Fearless but bad-tempered. C. Optimistic and determined. D. Pessimistic and independent. 7. What can we learn from Douglas’s story? A. Care and diligence bring happiness. B. A good beginning is half done. C. Ups and downs make one strong. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. C Imagine hopping on a school bus and being transported to an immersive (沉浸式的) educational tour of the inside of the human body — and no, not on a fictional episode of The Magic School Bus. This is the kind of experience that Meta hopes to enable for students, digitally, through its Quest virtual reality (VR) headsets. Bring VR into more classrooms could enable new kinds of learning opportunities. For example, it may allow drama students to feel like they’re having an immersive, real-time experience watching Shakespeare’s work performed at the Globe Theatre in the 17 century. New Mexico University is using the headsets to teach criminal justice students to investigate virtual crime scenes, and Morehouse College has developed a “digital twin campus” to teach students a range of subjects through VR, both through a partner program with Meta to test educational applications of the technology. But VR also creates concerns about digital safety and the potential harm to humans who are having more digital interactions and fewer in-person ones. Moreover, the cost of involving VR headsets in the classroom could be an obstacle to adoption for the many schools already struggling with limited resources. While cheaper than some other headsets on the market, Meta’s Quest 3 devices still start at $499 each. Most importantly, it remains unclear just how useful virtual reality is in helping students learn better. “I think that VR is one area where additional research is necessary,” said Vincent Quan, an education researcher and co-executive director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab. “With technology, sure, it can have a lot of promise, but at the same time, there can also be a lot of hype (夸张的宣传), and I think it’s important to carefully evaluate these types of technologies. Sometimes you don’t know if it’s just innovative and cool versus actually impactful.” 8. Why is The Magic School Bus mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic of VR. B. To promote immersive education. C. To recommend a popular TV series D. To advertise a new means of transport. 9. How can VR benefit students according to Paragraph 2? A. By increasing their in-person interactions. B. By satisfying diverse learning requirements. C. By assisting them in understanding concepts. D. By enabling learning beyond time limitations. 10. What can be inferred from the price of VR devices? A. The price will affect that of similar products in the market. B. The price is quite acceptable to both teachers and students. C. VR devices are more cost-effective than other learning tools. D. The price can be a heavy burden for financially troubled school. 11. What does Vincent Quan suggest about VR in education? A. Technology will make it useful and cheap. B. Teachers can depend on it in the classroom. C. It can benefit all students around the world. D. More research is needed to evaluate its impact D Recently, South Australia has committed an additional $17.1 million to the National Fire Ant Eradication Program to fight against one of the world’s most invasive pests—the red imported fire ant. They might be only 2-6mm long, but they can destroy crops and machinery, and make yards, parks, and farmlands unusable. They can also damage electrical equipment including streetlights and telecommunication networks. And they can bring a painful sting (叮) that has the potential to cause a deadly allergic reaction in people, pets and livestock. The red fire ants, which were from South American countries and were first discovered in Brisbane in 2001, have not been discovered in South Australia and currently are only present in Queensland and New South Wales (NSW). But they can spread to new territory quickly. Five nests (巢) were ascertained in northern NSW in November 2023. The ants generally spread through human activity, mainly the moving of polluted soil, plants or agricultural machinery, and once in a new area, they can rapidly establish a new nest. The National Fire Ant Eradication Program includes a four-year response plan worth $ 592.8 million, which will use the latest technology and innovative approaches to eventually sweep away fire ants. The State Government’s latest funding commitment is on top of $6.5 million already committed to the program. Reece Pianta, Advocacy Manager with the Invasive Species Council, said “Fire ants are one of the world’s worst super-pests and if they are allowed to spread, their economic impact will be greater than rabbits, feral cats and foxes combined. They will damage Australia’s environment and agriculture, cost our economy billions annually and we could see hundreds of thousands of extra medical visits every year as they sting Australians at the park or in the backyard.” Red imported fire ants are a notifiable (须申报的) pest in South Australia which means there is a legal obligation for people to report any suspected detections to the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline on 1800084881. 12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The prediction for the program. B. The impact of the red fire ants. C. The appearance of the ants. D. The South Australia’s policy. 13. What does the underlined word “ascertained” mean in paragraph 3? A. Established. B. Restored. C. Displayed. D. Detected. 14. What may red fire ants result in according to Reece Pianta? A. Enormous economic losses. B. Run-down tourism. C. Environmental pollution. D. Outdated medical service. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. Red Fire Ants Are Spreading in Australia B. Millions Added to Fight Deadly Fire Ants C. Australians Are Warned of The Red Fire Ants D. A New Approach for Sweeping Away Fire Ants 第二节（共5个小题；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。 As a student, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to how you spend your time.

They shared everything—from secrets to lunches—and were inseparable. One sunny afternoon, as they walked in the nearby park, chatting about their plans for the future, they saw an injured dog. Without hesitation Lily and Susan decided to help the poor little dog. They carefully held it and rushed to the nearest vet (兽医) clinic. The vet assured them that the dog would be fine with some rest and medicine. Relieved, they decided to name the dog Lucky and take turns to care for it until it recovered. Their act of kindness brought them even closer, and they spent many joyful hours playing with Lucky in the park. However, as high school progressed, their interests started to diverge (出现分歧) . Lily became passionate about painting, spending hours in the art room perfecting her art works, while Susan developed a deep interest in science, joining the school’s science club and taking part in various competitions. As time passed, they found themselves with less and less in common. One day, a misunderstanding occurred when Lily blamed Susan for ignoring Lucky because of her busy schedule. Susan felt hurt and believed that Lily didn’t understand the pressure she was under with her studies and extra-curricular activities. They argued, and for the first time, their friendship seemed strained. Feeling disheartened, both girls went their separate ways. But despite their differences, they couldn’t shake off the memories of better times and the close relationship they once shared. One evening, as Lily walked home from an art class, she noticed Susan sitting alone on the side of the road, looking deep in thought. She hesitated but then gathered up the courage to approach her. “Mind if I sit down?” she asked softly. Susan looked up, surprised but not unwelcoming. “I was just thinking about old times,” she admitted. “Me too,” Lily said quietly. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 They sat in silence for a while, both lost in their thoughts. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After talking, they came up with a plan to rebuild their relationship. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高2023级高二（上）半期考试 英语试题 （全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

She’d already been homeschooled for years to focus on her training, and she set her sights on training with Liang Chow, a coach who has worked with Shawn Johnson. But Chow’s gym was in West Des Moines, Iowa — not exactly within commuting distance of her home in Virginia. Moving halfway across the country was not easy for the young Gabby Douglas. She felt seriously out of place as one of few black people there. Douglas also felt much anxiety about chasing her Olympic dream. It would be years before Douglas opened up about the fears she faced on her road to the Olympics. She once said, “When I started this journey, I never knew what it took to get to the Olympics. I had a lot of self-doubt. You have to believe that you’re good enough and not give up.” Douglas eventually found the determination to stick with her dream, no matter how tough the journey. Not only did she help her team win gold, but she also won gold in the all-around — making her the first black woman to do so. She said, “It was unbelievable that I had spent my whole life dreaming about this one specific goal and achieved it.” 4. What made Douglas decide to have a change at 14? A. Her Olympic dream. B. Her talent for gymnastics. C. Her desire to train with Liang Chow. D. Her tiredness of being homeschooled. 5. Why was Douglas anxious when chasing her dream? A. She thought she was not talented enough. B. She had to compete with Shawn Johnson. C. She didn’t like the training methods in Iowa. D. She was uncertain about how to get to the Olympics. 6. What words can be used to best describe Douglas? A. Talented but crazy. B. Fearless but bad-tempered. C. Optimistic and determined. D. Pessimistic and independent. 7. What can we learn from Douglas’s story? A. Care and diligence bring happiness. B. A good beginning is half done. C. Ups and downs make one strong. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 【答案】4. A 5.

Not only did she help her team win gold, but she also won gold in the all-around — making her the first black woman to do so. (道格拉斯最终下定决心坚持自己的梦想，无论路途多么艰难。她不仅帮助她的团队赢得了金牌，而且还赢得了全能项目的金牌——这使她成为第一位获得金牌的黑人女性)”可知，最终她下定决心坚持自己的梦想，并且成为第一位获得金牌的黑人女性，综合以上信息可知，从道格拉斯的故事中学到的是“有志者事竟成”的道理。故选D项。 C Imagine hopping on a school bus and being transported to an immersive (沉浸式的) educational tour of the inside of the human body — and no, not on a fictional episode of The Magic School Bus. This is the kind of experience that Meta hopes to enable for students, digitally, through its Quest virtual reality (VR) headsets. Bring VR into more classrooms could enable new kinds of learning opportunities. For example, it may allow drama students to feel like they’re having an immersive, real-time experience watching Shakespeare’s work performed at the Globe Theatre in the 17 century. New Mexico University is using the headsets to teach criminal justice students to investigate virtual crime scenes, and Morehouse College has developed a “digital twin campus” to teach students a range of subjects through VR, both through a partner program with Meta to test educational applications of the technology. But VR also creates concerns about digital safety and the potential harm to humans who are having more digital interactions and fewer in-person ones. Moreover, the cost of involving VR headsets in the classroom could be an obstacle to adoption for the many schools already struggling with limited resources. While cheaper than some other headsets on the market, Meta’s Quest 3 devices still start at $499 each. Most importantly, it remains unclear just how useful virtual reality is in helping students learn better. “I think that VR is one area where additional research is necessary,” said Vincent Quan, an education researcher and co-executive director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab. “With technology, sure, it can have a lot of promise, but at the same time, there can also be a lot of hype (夸张的宣传), and I think it’s important to carefully evaluate these types of technologies. Sometimes you don’t know if it’s just innovative and cool versus actually impactful.” 8. Why is The Magic School Bus mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic of VR. B. To promote immersive education. C. To recommend a popular TV series D. To advertise a new means of transport. 9. How can VR benefit students according to Paragraph 2? A. By increasing their in-person interactions. B. By satisfying diverse learning requirements. C. By assisting them in understanding concepts. D. By enabling learning beyond time limitations. 10. What can be inferred from the price of VR devices? A. The price will affect that of similar products in the market. B. The price is quite acceptable to both teachers and students. C. VR devices are more cost-effective than other learning tools. D. The price can be a heavy burden for financially troubled school. 11. What does Vincent Quan suggest about VR in education? A. Technology will make it useful and cheap. B. Teachers can depend on it in the classroom. C. It can benefit all students around the world. D. More research is needed to evaluate its impact 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了将虚拟现实技术应用到课堂的现象，并指出了其中的一些问题。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine hopping on a school bus and being transported to an immersive (沉浸式的) educational tour of the inside of the human body—and no, not on a fictional episode of The Magic School Bus. This is the kind of experience that Meta hopes to enable for students, digitally, through its Quest virtual reality (VR) headsets.(想象一下，跳上校车，被带到人体内部的沉浸式教育之旅中——不，不是在《魔法校车》的虚构情节中。这是Meta希望通过其Quest虚拟现实（VR）耳机为学生提供的一种数字体验。)”可知，第一段描述了坐校车参与人体内部的沉浸式教育之旅的奇妙场景，并指出这并不是《魔法校车》的虚构情节，而是Quest虚拟现实（VR）耳机为学生提供的一种数字体验，由此可推测出，作者提到《魔法校车》是为了引出虚拟现实（VR）这个话题。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Bring VR into more classrooms could enable new kinds of learning opportunities. For example, it may allow drama students to feel like they’re having an immersive, real-time experience watching Shakespeare’s work performed at the Globe Theatre in the 17 century. New Mexico University is using the headsets to teach criminal justice students to investigate virtual crime scenes, and Morehouse College has developed a “digital twin campus” to teach students a range of subjects through VR, both through a partner program with Meta to test educational applications of the technology.(将VR带入更多的教室可以带来新类型的学习机会。例如，它可能会让戏剧专业的学生感觉他们正在观看17世纪在环球剧院上演的莎士比亚作品，这是一种身临其境的实时体验。新墨西哥大学正在使用耳机教刑事司法学生调查虚拟犯罪现场，莫尔豪斯学院开发了一个“数字双校园”，通过VR向学生教授一系列科目，这两个项目都是通过与Meta的合作项目来测试该技术的教育应用。)”可知，第二段指出VR可以带来新类型的学习机会，并罗列了喜剧专业学生观看莎士比亚作品、刑事司法学生调查虚拟犯罪现场、“数字双校园”的例子，从而说明VR可以满足不同的学习需求。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Moreover, the cost of involving VR headsets in the classroom could be an obstacle to adoption for the many schools already struggling with limited resources.(此外，对于许多已经在资源有限的情况下苦苦挣扎的学校来说，在课堂上使用VR耳机的成本可能会成为采用的障碍。)”可知，VR设备的价格高，对财政困难的学校来说是一个沉重的负担。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的““I think that VR is one area where additional research is necessary,” said Vincent Quan, an education researcher and co-executive director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab.(Abdul Latif Jameel贫困行动实验室的教育研究员兼联合执行主任Vincent Quan说：“我认为VR是一个需要进一步研究的领域。”)”可知，Vincent Quan建议有必要对VR设备在教育中的运用进行进一步研究。故选D。 D Recently, South Australia has committed an additional $17.1 million to the National Fire Ant Eradication Program to fight against one of the world’s most invasive pests—the red imported fire ant. They might be only 2-6mm long, but they can destroy crops and machinery, and make yards, parks, and farmlands unusable. They can also damage electrical equipment including streetlights and telecommunication networks. And they can bring a painful sting (叮) that has the potential to cause a deadly allergic reaction in people, pets and livestock. The red fire ants, which were from South American countries and were first discovered in Brisbane in 2001, have not been discovered in South Australia and currently are only present in Queensland and New South Wales (NSW). But they can spread to new territory quickly. Five nests (巢) were ascertained in northern NSW in November 2023. The ants generally spread through human activity, mainly the moving of polluted soil, plants or agricultural machinery, and once in a new area, they can rapidly establish a new nest. The National Fire Ant Eradication Program includes a four-year response plan worth $ 592.8 million, which will use the latest technology and innovative approaches to eventually sweep away fire ants. The State Government’s latest funding commitment is on top of $6.5 million already committed to the program. Reece Pianta, Advocacy Manager with the Invasive Species Council, said “Fire ants are one of the world’s worst super-pests and if they are allowed to spread, their economic impact will be greater than rabbits, feral cats and foxes combined. They will damage Australia’s environment and agriculture, cost our economy billions annually and we could see hundreds of thousands of extra medical visits every year as they sting Australians at the park or in the backyard.” Red imported fire ants are a notifiable (须申报的) pest in South Australia which means there is a legal obligation for people to report any suspected detections to the Exotic Plant Pest Hotline on 1800084881. 12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The prediction for the program. B. The impact of the red fire ants. C. The appearance of the ants. D. The South Australia’s policy. 13. What does the underlined word “ascertained” mean in paragraph 3? A. Established. B. Restored. C. Displayed. D. Detected. 14. What may red fire ants result in according to Reece Pianta? A. Enormous economic losses. B. Run-down tourism. C. Environmental pollution. D. Outdated medical service. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. Red Fire Ants Are Spreading in Australia B. Millions Added to Fight Deadly Fire Ants C. Australians Are Warned of The Red Fire Ants D. A New Approach for Sweeping Away Fire Ants 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文主要介绍了南澳大利亚州向国家红火蚁根除计划额外拨款1710万美元，用于对抗红火蚁。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段关键句“They might be only 2-6mm long, but they can destroy crops and machinery, and make yards, parks, and farmlands unusable. They can also damage electrical equipment including streetlights and telecommunication networks. (它们可能只有2-6mm长，但它们会破坏农作物和机械，使院子、公园和农田无法使用。它们还会损坏包括路灯和电信网络在内的电气设备。)”可知，本段介绍了红火蚁会破坏农作物和机械，还会损坏电气设备，由此可知，第二段主要介绍的是红火蚁的影响。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线单词上句“But they can spread to new territory quickly. (但它们可以迅速传播到新的领域。)”可知，红火蚁的传播速度非常快，由此可知，下文指研究人员在新南威尔士州北部发现了五个巢穴，“Detected”意为“发现，查明”，能够表达画线单词在句中的意思。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Reece Pianta, Advocacy Manager with the Invasive Species Council, said “Fire ants are one of the world’s worst super-pests and if they are allowed to spread, their economic impact will be greater than rabbits, feral cats and foxes combined. (入侵物种委员会的宣传经理Reece Pianta说：“火蚁是世界上最严重的超级害虫之一，如果允许它们传播，它们带来的经济影响将超过兔子、野猫和狐狸的总和。)”可知，Reece Pianta说红火蚁带来的经济影响将超过兔子、野猫和狐狸的总和，由此可知，根据Reece Pianta的说法，红火蚁会带来巨大的经济损失。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段内容“Recently, South Australia has committed an additional $17. 1 million to the National Fire Ant Eradication Program to fight against one of the world’s most invasive pests—the red imported fire ant. (最近，南澳大利亚州向国家红火蚁根除计划额外拨款1710万美元，用于对抗世界上最具入侵性的害虫之一——红火蚁。)”可知，本文是一篇新闻报道，报道了南澳大利亚州为根除红火蚁，拨款1710万美元的事情，“Millions Added to Fight Deadly Fire Ants”意为“数百万美元加入抗击致命火蚁的行列”，能够概括文章主要内容。故选B项。 第二节（共5个小题；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。 As a student, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to how you spend your time.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要向读者提出几个充分利用时间学习的建议。 【16题详解】 由上文“This means setting aside specific times for studying each day and then sticking to that schedule as closely as possible. Of course, there will be days when things come up, and you have to deviate(偏离) from your plan.(这意味着每天留出特定的学习时间，然后尽可能严格遵守时间表。当然，总会有事情发生的时候，你不得不偏离你的计划。)”可知，上文讲有时我们会因为临时事情偏离计划，而E项However, try not to go off-track too often or for too long(但是，尽量不要太频繁或太长时间偏离轨道)符合语境，其中go off-track和上文deviate from your plan对应。故选E项。 【17题详解】 由前文“Our brain can only focus effectively for so long before we start losing concentration.(我们的大脑只能有效地集中注意力这么长一段时间，然后才会开始失去注意力。)”和后文“chances are much higher that you won't remember all of the information you're trying to learn.(你不记得你想学的所有信息的可能性要大得多。)”可知，前面讲大脑只能集中注意力一段时间，而后文讲记不住内容，所以所填空应说我们一次学习时间太长的话，我们会记不住学习内容。而C项So if you try to study for several hours once(所以如果你试着一次学习几个小时)符合语境，有承上启下作用。故选C项。 【18题详解】 由后文“Some people prefer to study in complete silence, while others find that some background noise helps them focus better. There is no right or wrong answer here-it's all about finding a place to study. that allows you to work as efficiently as possible.(有些人喜欢完全安静地学习，而另一些人则发现一些背景噪音有助于他们更好地集中注意力。这里没有正确或错误的答案，这都是关于找一个学习的地方。这使你能够尽可能高效地学习。)”可知，这段主要讲找一个学习的地方，而F项Where you study can also affect how effectively you use your time(你在哪里学习也会影响你如何有效地利用时间)符合语境，其中Where 和小标题中place对应，且本句有启下作用。故选F项。 【19题详解】 由后文“it will be much easier for you to direct your study sessions accordingly and make better use of your time overall.(你可以更容易地指导你的学习课程，更好地利用你的时间。)”可知，前文应讲明确你的方向，这样会更利于学习。而G项And once you know what specific topics or ideas you need to work on(一旦你知道你需要做什么具体的主题或想法)符合语境，其中 specific topics or ideas you need to work on与后文 direct your study sessions accordingly 对应，故选G项。 【20题详解】 由后文“If you find that you're struggling to understand the material or just not making progress as quickly as you’d like,seek assistance in time. There is no shame in admitting that you need assistance. In fact, it can save lots of time in the long run by getting you the support you need early on.(如果你发现你很难理解这些材料，或者只是没有像你想的那样快速地取得进展，请及时寻求帮助。承认你需要帮助并不可耻。事实上，通过尽早获得所需的支持，从长远来看，它可以节省大量时间。)”可知，这段主要讲要学会寻求帮助，而B项Don’t be afraid to ask for help(不要害怕寻求帮助)符合语境，对下文有概括作用，且help与下文也对应。故选B项。 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 My parents live in the foothills of Santa Barbara.

They shared everything—from secrets to lunches—and were inseparable. One sunny afternoon, as they walked in the nearby park, chatting about their plans for the future, they saw an injured dog. Without hesitation, Lily and Susan decided to help the poor little dog. They carefully held it and rushed to the nearest vet (兽医) clinic. The vet assured them that the dog would be fine with some rest and medicine. Relieved, they decided to name the dog Lucky and take turns to care for it until it recovered. Their act of kindness brought them even closer, and they spent many joyful hours playing with Lucky in the park. However, as high school progressed, their interests started to diverge (出现分歧) . Lily became passionate about painting, spending hours in the art room perfecting her art works, while Susan developed a deep interest in science, joining the school’s science club and taking part in various competitions. As time passed, they found themselves with less and less in common. One day, a misunderstanding occurred when Lily blamed Susan for ignoring Lucky because of her busy schedule. Susan felt hurt and believed that Lily didn’t understand the pressure she was under with her studies and extra-curricular activities. They argued, and for the first time, their friendship seemed strained. Feeling disheartened, both girls went their separate ways. But despite their differences, they couldn’t shake off the memories of better times and the close relationship they once shared. One evening, as Lily walked home from an art class, she noticed Susan sitting alone on the side of the road, looking deep in thought. She hesitated but then gathered up the courage to approach her. “Mind if I sit down?” she asked softly. Susan looked up, surprised but not unwelcoming. “I was just thinking about old times,” she admitted. “Me too,” Lily said quietly. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 They sat in silence for a while, both lost in their thoughts. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After talking, they came up with a plan to rebuild their relationship. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 They sat in silence for a while, both lost in their thoughts. They were all immersed in the beautiful memories of the past. Suddenly, Susan said, “I don't know why we argued, and it was all because of some small things.” “And, I care about Lucky. It’s the cutest little dog in the world,” Susan added. Lily smiled and said, “Of course, we’re still good friends.” The two girls talked a lot, as if unaware of the passage of time. They were happy to be able to bridge the gap between each other. After talking, they came up with a plan to rebuild their relationship. Susan decided to try to understand painting, while Lily decided to try to understand science. After school, they went home together. On weekends, they took Lucky to the park for a walk, which made them feel excited. When encountering disagreements, they would analyze rather than argue. True friends will not be separated by minor conflicts. True friends understand and support each other. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了莉莉和苏珊从幼儿园起就是最好的朋友，她们分享一切，形影不离，她们还收养了一只受伤的流浪狗。但随着时间流逝，她们因为爱好不同及忙碌的学习而忽略彼此，最终引发矛盾，不再理会彼此。一天，莉莉下课回家见到沉思的苏珊，她过去搭话。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她们沉默地坐了一会儿，都陷入了沉思。”可知，第一段可描写两人的心理活动及语言交流。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过交谈，她们想出了一个重建关系计划。”可知，第二段可描写两人是如何重建友谊的。 2.续写线索：陷入回忆——坦诚交流——原谅彼此——重建友谊——找回友谊——朋友的真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①争吵：argue/quarrel ②关心：care about/be concerned with ③决定做某事：decided to do/be determined to do 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/glad ②兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1].
