Or are you looking for the safest place to travel? If your answer is yes, this travel guide will provide some places you can visit. In this guide, we will discuss their culture, food, and other things you should expect. New Zealand New Zealand has proven to be the world’s safest place to travel after Iceland and it is known for its wonderful dishes such as Fish and Chips, Hokey Pokey ice cream, etc. Whangarei Falls is a 26.3-metre high waterfall with a beautiful view that makes it one of the most photogenic waterfalls. Belize A visit to Belize would give you experiences such as world-class diving, explorations of jungles, etc. When you are in Belize, you should try the following foods: Rice and Beans, Tamales, Stewed Chicken, Fry Jacks and lots more. Belize is known for Mayan ruins and caves and jungle adventures, and it is also known as “Mother Nature’s Best Kept Secret”. Greenland Greenland is said to be a place where you do not have to worry about crime, so you need not worry too much about your safety. It is located between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, and it is the world’s largest island. Major tourist offers in Greenland include trips on hiking, tours on dog sledding, watching icebergs, etc. Tunisia Tunisia is said to be one of the most visited African countries. Some attractive places include its great capital city Tunis, the beach resorts of Mahdia and Kasbah Square in Tunis. Tunisia is popular for its beaches which have pocket-friendly expensive items. Tunisians are always willing to help. Some of the delicious dishes that Tunisians enjoy include Tabouna Bread, Tajine Maadnous, Tunisian Meat Dishes, etc. 1. What can visitors enjoy in New Zealand?

What can be known about Tunisia? A. Tunisians are both warm and friendly. B. It’s famous for its delicious dishes. C. Tunis is the world’s largest port city. D. It offers first-class hiking experiences. B Imagine this situation: you live on a tiny island off the north coast of Australia, and you and most of your friends have never even been to Darwin. You all love dancing: any style, any time, but especially at the local disco, where hundreds of local kids gather every weekend. Then one day, on a dusty basketball court, your group is doing an up-beat version of the Sirtaki dance from the 1964 movie Zorba the Greek. Someone films it, and the film is up-loaded to the Internet. It’s so funny that suddenly you are a sensation, with thousands of hits in the first few days. Before long, you are receiving invitations to perform all over Australia. This did happen in 2007 to the Chooky Dancers, an Indigenous dance group who live on Elcho Island, off the coast of Arnhem Land. Since then, the energetic and very amusing Chookies have performed at numerous comedy festivals and cultural events all around Australia. They have also appeared in a full-length feature film. These young Yolngu men absorb and then reinvent dance moves from everywhere: from traditional Indigenous dance styles and ideas, to techno and hip hop, kung fu and Bollywood. And now the Chookies have gone global. In early 2011, they travelled out of Australia for the first time. They went to Beijing, the capital of China, where they performed their particular brand of dance to a Chinese TV audience of probably close to one billion. The Chookies’ act was part of one of China’s biggest annual shows—the Spring Festival Gala. Over the years the festival has hosted a huge variety of acts from all around the world and of every imaginable style and content. Even so, the audience had seen nothing like the Chooky Dancers, who began, as usual, with a traditional Yolngu dance, before breaking out into their signature Zorba. The Chinese were totally won over. It’s a great international, multicultural, outback youth success story—an Indigenous Australian dance troupe performs a techno version of a Greek dance on Chinese TV! 4. What is the effect of using “you” in the first two paragraphs? A. To bring the readers into someone else’s world. B. To make the readers feel sorry for the dancers. C. To encourage the readers to see the topic from all sides. D. To remind the readers of similar experiences they have had. 5. What do we know about the dance that made the Chooky Dancers famous? A. It was invented by themselves. B. It was adapted from a film. C. It was learned from the Internet. D. It was taught to them in Greece. 6. What does the underlined word “signature”in Paragraph 5 mean? A. The stylish name writing. B. The international version. C. The theme music. D. The representative work. 7. What could be the best title of this passage? A. Chooky Dancers Go Global B. The Chookies Appear in Beijing C. Dancing Perfectly Combines with Basketball D. Technology Makes Improvements in Dancing C As for the choice of jobs, girls and boys as young as seven have preference with sex differences in a new study. Girls choose jobs based on care and love, while boys choose jobs based on money and power. Professor Laura Scholes and Dr Sarah McDonald surveyed 332 Year Three students from 14 Australian schools. They found that the top jobs for boys included sports and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) related work, while girls, on the other hand, wanted to be teachers or nurses. Professor Scholes said the influence of sex stereotypes (刻板印象) on such choices begins in early childhood. “Bright pink toys for girls and blue toys for boys are sold in stores around the world.” she said, “In the boys’ section, you’ll find science, construction and warfare toys — perhaps a robot or a telescope. In the girls’ section, you’ll see toys related to dolls, kitchens, makeup, jewellery and crafts.” “This results in lower numbers of girls taking STEM subjects at school. In turn, this means fewer women are going to work in the sciences.” Professor Scholes’s comments came as women make up only two percent of the STEM workforce, with the biggest gap in the highest-paid jobs of computer science and engineering. In Australia, some brands (品牌) are no longer designing their toys just for boys or girls. Danish toy giant Lego said its products were mainly used by boys, but it promised to work to remove sex preference from its toys and instead market them for both sexes last week after a global study found that 71% of boys were afraid of being made fun of for playing with toys marketed at girls. 8. Which of the following jobs do the girls not tend to choose? A. Teachers. B. Programmers. C. Dressers. D. Nurses. 9. What causes fewer girls to choose STEM subjects according to Professor Scholes? A. The effect of sex stereotypes. B. Their desire to be teachers or nurses. C. Their hobbies based on care and love. D. Low-paid jobs concerned with sciences. 10. What does the underline word “remove” in the last paragraph mean? A. take away B. try out C. leave alone D. pick up 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of early childhood education in shaping career choices. B. The influence of sex stereotypes in toys on children’s career preferences. C. The reasons why there are fewer girls in STEM fields. D. The global success of Lego toys and their marketing strategies. D Lord Rees and Neil deGrasse Tyson pour cold water on Elon Musk’s plans to transfer a large human population to Mars at a World Government Summit panel in Dubai. The billionaire’s plans to send humans to Mars are a “dangerous vision”, according to Britain’s chief astrophysicist Lord Martin Rees. Back in 2016, Musk outlined his vision of building a colony on Mars “in our lifetimes” — with the first rocket sending humans to the Red Planet by 2025. For many years the company used an image of the Martian surface being terraformed (地球化) in its promotional material . However, a NASA-sponsored study published in 2018 dismissed these plans as impossible with today’s technology. Recently Musk has tweeted that he believed it was “possible to make a self-sustaining city on Mars by 2050, if we start in five years”. Lord Rees said, “The only reason for humans to go to space would be for adventure. To live on Mars is not going to be easy. Mars has an unpleasant environment.” “The idea of Elon Musk to have a million people settle on Mars is a dangerous idea. Living on Mars is no better than living on the South Pole or the tip of Mount Everest. If you want to call Mars home, you need to terraform Mars, turn it into Earth.” American astrophysicist and science educator Neil de Grasse Tyson added. However, the size of this task was much larger than actively attempting to prevent the initial catastrophe on Earth, Dr. Tyson explained: “It is so much easier to make Earth return to Earth again rather than terraforming Mars.” “There is no force on Earth as powerful as the exploration of space that impacts our thoughts and ambitions. Thinking about the future is half of what drives the future. Space will always remain as an inspiration for young people and it is an area we need to support,” Lord Rees said. 12. What was Musk’s attitude to the vision of building a colony on Mars by 2050? A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic. C. Dismissive. D. Cautious. 13. What makes terraforming Mars a difficult task, according to Dr. Tyson? A. Unpleasant environment in Mars. B. Conflict with NASA’s plan. C. Lack of advanced technology. D. Extreme weather in the South Pole. 14. What is the main message conveyed by Lord Rees in the last paragraph? A. Human development relies on thinking about the future of the earth. B. Mars colonization should be a top priority for young people. C. Space exploration has a huge impact on human development. D. Young people should be more supportive of space exploration. 15. What is the best title of this passage? A. Elon Musk Thinks Big About Colonizing Mars. B. Experts Dismiss Elon Musk’s Mars Colonization Plans. C. The Fruitless Exploration of Human Settlement on Mars. D. The Challenges of Establishing Human Habitats on Mars. 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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How colour psychology influences your dinner party guests After spending hours cooking and preparing the table setting for your guests, you hope that everyone enjoys your recipes.

However, she was very shy and never showed her paintings to anyone except her best friend, Mia. Mia often encouraged Lucy to share her work, but Lucy always shook her head nervously. “What if they laugh at me?” she would say. One day, their school announced an art competition. The winning artworks would be displayed at the city’s annual art fair. Mia’s eyes lit up when she heard about it. “Lucy, you have to enter!” she said excitedly. But Lucy hesitated, her stomach twisting in knots. “I’m not good enough,” she muttered. Mia wouldn’t give up. “I’ll help you,” she said. Over the next few weeks, Mia spent her free time encouraging Lucy, giving her ideas, and boosting her confidence. Finally, Lucy completed her painting — a beautiful depiction of a sunset over a meadow. “It’s perfect!” Mia said, beaming. The day of the competition arrived, and Lucy submitted her painting, her hands trembling. When the results were announced, Lucy’s painting won second place. Lucy was thrilled but also terrified about having her painting displayed at the fair. “I don’t think I can go,” she told Mia. 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。 Para. 1 Mia grabbed Lucy’s hand and smiled warmly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 Lucy stood before her painting at the fair, her heart pounding. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 BBACA 6—10 CBCCA 11—15 BBCAA 16—20 CBACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024-2025学年乾县晨光中学高二第二次月考 英语试卷 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秒钟的时间回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要叙述了“Chooky Dancers”这支澳大利亚土著舞蹈团成名并成功走向世界的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段首句“Imagine this situation: you live on a tiny island off the north coast of Australia, and you and most of your friends have never even been to Darwin. (想象一下这种情况：你住在澳大利亚北海岸的一个小岛上，你和你的大多数朋友甚至从未去过达尔文。)”和第二段中的“Before long, you are receiving invitations to perform all over Australia. (不久，您将收到在澳大利亚各地演出的邀请。)”以及第三段中的“This did happen in 2007 to the Chooky Dancers, an Indigenous dance group who live on Elcho Island, off the coast of Arnhem Land. (这种情况在2007年确实发生在乔基舞者身上，这是一个居住在阿纳姆海岸外埃尔乔岛的土著舞蹈团体。)”，可知，文章前两段设置了一种情境，用第二人称将读者代入到这种情境中，第三段又提到这种情境在2007年确实发生在乔基舞者身上，所以，作者在前两段使用第二人称的效果是把读者带入别人的世界中。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Then one day, on a dusty basketball court, your group is doing an up-beat version of the Sirtaki dance from the 1964 movie  Zorba the Greek . Someone films it, and the film is up-loaded to the Internet. It’s so funny that suddenly you are a sensation, with thousands of hits in the first few days. Before long, you are receiving invitations to perform all over Australia. (然后有一天，在尘土飞扬的篮球场上，你的团队正在表演1964年电影《希腊人佐巴》中的瑟塔基舞。然后有一天，在一个尘土飞扬的篮球场上，你的团队正在跳1964年电影《希腊人佐巴》(Zorba the Greek)中的轻快版Sirtaki舞。有人把它拍下来，然后上传到网上。很有趣的是，你突然间成为了一个轰动，在头几天就有成千上万的点击量。不久之后，你就会收到澳大利亚各地的演出邀请。)”由此可知，让Chooky Dancers舞蹈团成名的舞蹈是改编自1964 年电影《希腊人左巴》中的 Sirtaki(瑟塔基舞：一种希腊民间舞蹈)。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“Even so, the audience had seen nothing like the Chooky Dancers, who began, as usual, with a traditional Yolngu dance, before breaking out into their signature Zorba. (即便如此，观众们也没有见过像乔基舞者那样的舞蹈，他们像往常一样，以传统的约尔古舞蹈开始，然后爆发出他们的招牌佐巴舞。)”可知，乔基舞者以传统的约尔古舞蹈开始，然后爆发出佐巴舞，可知，佐巴舞属于他们的代表作品。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章结尾“It’s a great international, multicultural, outback youth success story—an Indigenous Australian dance troupe performs a techno version of a Greek dance on Chinese TV! (这是一个伟大的国际、多元文化、内陆青年的成功故事——一个澳大利亚土著舞蹈团在中国电视上表演希腊舞蹈的技术版本！)”可知，文章主要讲述的是一个澳大利亚土著舞蹈团走向国际，最终成名的故事。故选A。 C As for the choice of jobs, girls and boys as young as seven have preference with sex differences in a new study. Girls choose jobs based on care and love, while boys choose jobs based on money and power. Professor Laura Scholes and Dr Sarah McDonald surveyed 332 Year Three students from 14 Australian schools. They found that the top jobs for boys included sports and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) related work, while girls, on the other hand, wanted to be teachers or nurses. Professor Scholes said the influence of sex stereotypes (刻板印象) on such choices begins in early childhood. “Bright pink toys for girls and blue toys for boys are sold in stores around the world.” she said, “In the boys’ section, you’ll find science, construction and warfare toys — perhaps a robot or a telescope. In the girls’ section, you’ll see toys related to dolls, kitchens, makeup, jewellery and crafts.” “This results in lower numbers of girls taking STEM subjects at school. In turn, this means fewer women are going to work in the sciences.” Professor Scholes’s comments came as women make up only two percent of the STEM workforce, with the biggest gap in the highest-paid jobs of computer science and engineering. In Australia, some brands (品牌) are no longer designing their toys just for boys or girls. Danish toy giant Lego said its products were mainly used by boys, but it promised to work to remove sex preference from its toys and instead market them for both sexes last week after a global study found that 71% of boys were afraid of being made fun of for playing with toys marketed at girls. 8. Which of the following jobs do the girls not tend to choose? A. Teachers. B. Programmers. C. Dressers. D. Nurses. 9. What causes fewer girls to choose STEM subjects according to Professor Scholes? A. The effect of sex stereotypes. B. Their desire to be teachers or nurses. C. Their hobbies based on care and love. D. Low-paid jobs concerned with sciences. 10. What does the underline word “remove” in the last paragraph mean? A. take away B. try out C. leave alone D. pick up 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The importance of early childhood education in shaping career choices. B. The influence of sex stereotypes in toys on children’s career preferences. C. The reasons why there are fewer girls in STEM fields. D. The global success of Lego toys and their marketing strategies. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是关于儿童（特别是7岁左右的孩子）在职业选择上的性别差异及其背后的影响因素。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They found that the top jobs for boys included sports and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) related work, while girls, on the other hand, wanted to be teachers or nurses.(他们发现，最受男孩欢迎的工作包括体育和STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）相关的工作，而另一方面，女孩则想成为教师或护士。)”以及第三段“In the boys’ section, you’ll find science, construction and warfare toys—perhaps a robot or a telescope. In the girls’ section, you’ll see toys related to dolls, kitchens, makeup, jewellery and crafts.(在男孩区，你会发现科学、建筑和战争玩具——也许是机器人或望远镜。在女孩区，你会看到与娃娃、厨房、化妆品、珠宝和工艺品有关的玩具。)”可知，女孩不倾向于选择程序员的工作，故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Professor Scholes said the influence of sex stereotypes (刻板印象) on such choices begins in early childhood.(Scholes教授说，性别刻板印象对这种选择的影响始于童年早期。)”可知，根据Scholes教授所说，性别刻板印象对职业的选择会有影响。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“instead market them for both sexes(转而面向两性销售)”可知，乐高承诺将努力消除玩具中的性别偏好，remove的意思是“去除”，和take away意思相近。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“As for the choice of jobs, girls and boys as young as seven have preference with sex differences in a new study.(一项新研究显示，在职业选择方面，小至7岁的男孩和女孩都存在性别差异。)”和第三段“Professor Scholes said the influence of sex stereotypes (刻板印象) on such choices begins in early childhood.(Scholes教授说，性别刻板印象对这种选择的影响始于童年早期。)”和“Bright pink toys for girls and blue toys for boys are sold in stores around the world.(世界各地的商店都出售给女孩的亮粉色玩具和男孩的蓝色玩具。)”可知，本文主要讲的是玩具中的性别刻板印象对儿童职业偏好的影响。故选B。 D Lord Rees and Neil deGrasse Tyson pour cold water on Elon Musk’s plans to transfer a large human population to Mars at a World Government Summit panel in Dubai. The billionaire’s plans to send humans to Mars are a “dangerous vision”, according to Britain’s chief astrophysicist Lord Martin Rees. Back in 2016, Musk outlined his vision of building a colony on Mars “in our lifetimes” — with the first rocket sending humans to the Red Planet by 2025. For many years the company used an image of the Martian surface being terraformed (地球化) in its promotional material . However, a NASA-sponsored study published in 2018 dismissed these plans as impossible with today’s technology. Recently Musk has tweeted that he believed it was “possible to make a self-sustaining city on Mars by 2050, if we start in five years”. Lord Rees said, “The only reason for humans to go to space would be for adventure. To live on Mars is not going to be easy. Mars has an unpleasant environment.” “The idea of Elon Musk to have a million people settle on Mars is a dangerous idea. Living on Mars is no better than living on the South Pole or the tip of Mount Everest. If you want to call Mars home, you need to terraform Mars, turn it into Earth.” American astrophysicist and science educator Neil de Grasse Tyson added. However, the size of this task was much larger than actively attempting to prevent the initial catastrophe on Earth, Dr. Tyson explained: “It is so much easier to make Earth return to Earth again rather than terraforming Mars.” “There is no force on Earth as powerful as the exploration of space that impacts our thoughts and ambitions. Thinking about the future is half of what drives the future. Space will always remain as an inspiration for young people and it is an area we need to support,” Lord Rees said. 12. What was Musk’s attitude to the vision of building a colony on Mars by 2050? A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic. C. Dismissive. D. Cautious. 13. What makes terraforming Mars a difficult task, according to Dr. Tyson? A. Unpleasant environment in Mars. B. Conflict with NASA’s plan. C. Lack of advanced technology. D. Extreme weather in the South Pole. 14. What is the main message conveyed by Lord Rees in the last paragraph? A. Human development relies on thinking about the future of the earth. B. Mars colonization should be a top priority for young people. C. Space exploration has a huge impact on human development. D. Young people should be more supportive of space exploration. 15. What is the best title of this passage? A. Elon Musk Thinks Big About Colonizing Mars. B. Experts Dismiss Elon Musk’s Mars Colonization Plans. C. The Fruitless Exploration of Human Settlement on Mars. D. The Challenges of Establishing Human Habitats on Mars. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了英国首席天体物理学家Martin Rees和美国天体物理学家Neil deGrasse Tyson对埃隆·马斯克提出的火星殖民计划的质疑和批评。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Musk has tweeted that he believed it was ‘possible to make a self-sustaining city on Mars by 2050’(马斯克曾在推特上表示，他相信“有可能在2050年之前在火星上建造一座自给自足的城市”。)”可知，Musk对到2050年在火星上建立殖民地的愿景持乐观态度。A. Skeptical质疑的；B. Optimistic乐观的；C. Dismissive拒绝的；D. Cautious好奇的。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The idea of Elon Musk to have a million people settle on Mars is a dangerous idea. Living on Mars is no better than living on the South Pole or the tip of Mount Everest.(Elon Musk让一百万人在火星上定居的想法是一个危险的想法。生活在火星上并不比生活在南极或珠穆朗玛峰顶上更好。)”可推知，Tyson博士认为，让火星地球化成为一项艰巨任务的原因是火星的恶劣环境。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There is no force on Earth as powerful as the exploration of space that impacts our thoughts and ambitions. Thinking about the future is half of what drives the future.(地球上没有任何一种力量能像太空探索那样强大，影响着我们的思想和抱负。对未来的思考是推动未来的一半动力。)”可知，Rees勋爵在最后一段中主要表达了空间探索对人类发展有巨大影响。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Lord Rees and Neil deGrasse Tyson pour cold water on Elon Musk’s plans to transfer a large human population to Mars at a World Government Summit panel in Dubai.(Rees勋爵和Neil deGrasse Tyson在迪拜举行的世界政府峰会小组讨论会上，对Elon Musk将大量人类转移到火星的计划泼了一盆冷水。)”并结合全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了英国首席天体物理学家Martin Rees和美国天体物理学家Neil deGrasse Tyson对埃隆·马斯克提出的火星殖民计划的质疑和批评。因此B选项“专家驳回埃隆·马斯克的火星殖民计划”最能概括文章的主旨。符合全文主旨，具有高度概括性。故选B项。 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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How colour psychology influences your dinner party guests After spending hours cooking and preparing the table setting for your guests, you hope that everyone enjoys your recipes. But it’s not all about the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the cook. ____16____Whether it is a plate, a glass, a bowl or a cup, colour makes a significant impact on your guests. ___17___After that first impression, the brain integrates the visual information and affects perception(认知), making you think that the same food is excellent, good or average. Thus, the goal for dinner parties is to ensure that the food looks pleasing to the eye, so your guests will think it tastes as good as it looks. Bowl colour influences the desirability of food for picky eaters, as well as the perception of saltiness. Picky eaters tend to perceive meals in red and blue bowls as saltier compared to white. And they are more unwilling to try new food in a red bowl. ___18___ You can never go wrong with a white plate. Just avoid it when the food served is pale. For desserts, white is ideal because it increases flavors and enhances sweetness. ____19____ Serving food in a black bowl can increase perceptions of its saltiness and portion size. To bring extra aesthetic(审美的)appeal, creativity and to highlight foods lacking in colour, you can serve your meal on bright plates. But be careful! ____20____Similar ingredient colors to the tableware make everything integrate together and your guests think they have less food. A. It starts with your sight. B. But the result of dark plates can vary a little. C. However, the rules of colour may not apply to all. D. Besides, colourful plates are preferred by choosy eaters. E.

However, she was very shy and never showed her paintings to anyone except her best friend, Mia. Mia often encouraged Lucy to share her work, but Lucy always shook her head nervously. “What if they laugh at me?” she would say. One day, their school announced an art competition. The winning artworks would be displayed at the city’s annual art fair. Mia’s eyes lit up when she heard about it. “Lucy, you have to enter!” she said excitedly. But Lucy hesitated, her stomach twisting in knots. “I’m not good enough,” she muttered. Mia wouldn’t give up. “I’ll help you,” she said. Over the next few weeks, Mia spent her free time encouraging Lucy, giving her ideas, and boosting her confidence. Finally, Lucy completed her painting — a beautiful depiction of a sunset over a meadow. “It’s perfect!” Mia said, beaming. The day of the competition arrived, and Lucy submitted her painting, her hands trembling. When the results were announced, Lucy’s painting won second place. Lucy was thrilled but also terrified about having her painting displayed at the fair. “I don’t think I can go,” she told Mia. 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。 Para. 1 Mia grabbed Lucy’s hand and smiled warmly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 Lucy stood before her painting at the fair, her heart pounding. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mia grabbed Lucy’s hand and smiled warmly. “You’ve come this far, Lucy. You have to see how amazing your work is!” she said. Reluctantly, Lucy agreed, and they headed to the art fair together. When they arrived, Lucy spotted her painting displayed among the others. A small crowd had gathered around it, admiring the vibrant colors and the peaceful feeling it conveyed. “Who painted this?” someone asked. Before Lucy could react, Mia proudly said, “She did!” and gently pushed Lucy forward. Lucy stood before her painting at the fair, her heart pounding. People smiled at her and praised her work. “It’s beautiful!” a woman said. “You have real talent.” Hearing those words, Lucy felt her fear melt away, replaced by a warm sense of pride. She glanced at Mia, who gave her a thumbs-up. At that moment, Lucy realized she could chase her dream — and that she wasn’t alone. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Lucy喜欢画画，梦想成为一名艺术家，但是她非常害羞，她的朋友Mia鼓励她参加了学校的艺术比赛，最终获得第二名，但是她对自己的画要在展览会上展出感到既兴奋又害怕。“我想我去不了，”她告诉Mia。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Mia抓住Lucy的手，热情地笑了。”可知，第一段可描写Mia鼓励Lucy去展览会，公众很欣赏Lucy的画，Mia让大家认识Lucy。 ②由第二段首句内容“在展览会上，Lucy站在她的画前，心怦怦直跳。”可知，第二段可描写作品受到大家的夸赞以及Lucy的感受。 2.续写线索：Mia鼓励——一起去展览会——发现大家在欣赏Lucy的作品——Mia介绍Lucy——作品受到夸赞——Lucy的感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①欣赏：admire/appreciate ②表扬：praise/speak highly of ③意识到：realize (that)/be aware that 情绪类 ①不情愿：reluctantly/unwillingly ②自豪：proudly/with pride 【点睛】[高分句型1] When they arrived, Lucy spotted her painting displayed among the others.
