Let’s explore some of the most well-known paintings of horses by famous artists. Artist Unknown Year c.15,000-13,000BCE Medium Mineral pigments (颜料) and charcoal on cave wall Dimensions Unavailable Location Lascaux, France Chinese Horse at Lascaux Cave This Chinese Horse painting was first discovered in1940 at the prehistoric cave art sites, Lascaux, in France. The painting earned its name for looking like the style of a Sung Chinese painting of a horse. Early artists created their own paintbrushes from animal skin and hair and also employed a spray (喷洒) painting technique using a hollow (空心的) reed to blow pigment through. Whistlejacket Whistlejacket depicts a life-sized racehorse against a plain background. One of the most unique features of this painting is that it does not situate the horse in any particular location. Rather, it focuses only on the details and character of the horse in question. In a way, Stubbs captures the spirit of the horse that suggests freedom of spirit, not tied to any background or environment, which makes this horse painting quite special for its time. Artist George Stubbs(1724-1806) Year c.1762 Medium Oil on canvas Dimensions 292cmX246.4 cm Location National Gallery, UK Artist Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863) Year c.1825-1829 Medium Watercolor Dimensions Unavailable Location Museum of Fine Arts, Hungary Horse Frightened by Lightning In Horse Frightened by Lightning, a white horse is frightened by the lightning, standing on its hind legs in a storm. The daring color choices and detailed brushwork captures the reaction of the animal with care, showing panic and terror. The unpleasant weather is highlighted by the strong contrast created between the horse and the dark black and gray clouds that cover the entire sky. The symbolism found in most Romantic horse paintings includes themes of passion, power, nobility, and intense emotion. 1. What do we know about Chinese Horse? A. It employed colors daringly. B. It was painted on animal skins. C. It was a Sung Chinese painting. D. It used a spray painting approach. 2. What theme is commonly found in Romantic horse paintings? A. Freedom of spirit. B.

In 2023, “Britain’s Got Talent” (BGT) uncovered a musical genius named Malakai Bayoh who impressed the audience with perfect high-note singing. The London-based 13-year-old boy appeared for the show’s audition (海选) in April, 2023 and was accompanied by his mom and sister. “My big dream is to be an opera singer. I started singing at 7,” said Malakai to the BGT team. He then added jokingly, “My mom made me join the choir because she’s very bossy.” The teenager mentioned she was his biggest fan. Malakai’s mom was worried as he was about to perform and said, “It scares me because, on his first show, somebody heckled (对……起哄) him. It was sad to see someone boo a child on stage because it might destroy his confidence completely.” Contrary to his mom’s fear, Malakai set the stage on fire singing a beautiful song and the entire crowd was impressed by his amazing voice. As he ended his song, the audience and the judges gave him a big round of applause. The performance won him Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer, sending him straight to the semi-finals of the show. The other judges called Malakai’s performance “perfect” and “heavenly”. His angelic voice blew the audience away and the judges thanked the teen for coming to the show. Malakai went on to become one of the finalists of the show and signed a record deal with Universal Music. Malakai’ s audition at the BGT went viral on social media, “I’m a trained singer, and a music teacher by profession, and sang this song as a young performer myself. I can say with absolute certainty this is the best I’ve ever heard this song sung, with proper technique and proper breathing. This boy is a gifted singer,” @mayacorinne878 posted. 4. What made Malakai’s mom feel worried? A. The judge’s expression. B. Her son’s performance on stage. C. A bad experience. D. Her son’s difficulty in singing in public. 5 What does the phrase “set the stage on fire” in paragraph 3 imply about Malakai’s performance? A. He accidentally caused a literal fire during his performance. B. His performance was extremely passionate and energetic. C. His performance received the lowest rating possible. D. He refused to perform unless certain conditions were met. 6. What can be inferred about Malakai’s talent? A. He has average talent but is well-received due to his age. B. He has exceptional talent that is recognized by both professionals and the public. C. He has talent, but his performance was not enough to send him to the semi-finals. D. He lacks talent, but his story touched the hearts of the audience. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The rise of a young opera singer. B. The impact of social media on music talent. C. The history of “Got Talent” shows. D. The challenges faced by young performers. C A famous springboard driver was defeated by his competitor in the finals of a world championship, offering congratulations to the winner and waving a tearful goodbye to the audience. It is common in the athletic world. Sportsmen spend the best part of their lives on hard training and competitions. When it becomes evident that they are on the decline they still make great efforts to give their best so as to bring a satisfactory end to their career. Chances to compete for the championship are few and far between. Life is short. Still shorter is the time for an athlete trying to win games. An athletic contestant really feels that there are so few opportunities and time flies. He treasures every minute, makes full use of it and tries to grasp any chance coming his way. He gets as much as he gives, winning honors not only for himself but also for his country. To participate and to win——that is the Olympic spirit. It finds expression in the weak daring to challenge the strong, and the strong searching forever better performance. Ever better—the ideal always makes a sportsman forward. He will do everything he can for it, never relax, never give up. It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated—even the best is bound to be defeated by someone still stronger. This is the rule of sports—thousands of losers set off one winner who in turn will eventually be replaced by someone on the honor list. However, he is always trying to do the best he can. When the time comes and he knows he can’t, he will step down happily to give place to the younger winner, aware contentedly of the fact that he has done his best for the “ever better” records of the Olympic Games. He will say proudly that he has not lived his youth in vain. 8. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To explain a phenomenon. B. To describe a competition. C. To lead in the topic of this passage. D. To express worries about sportsmen. 9. According to the passage, what kind of ideal pushes an athlete forward? A. He wants to win people’s respect. B. He wants to win honor for his nation. C. He wants to make greater achievements than ever. D. He wants to earn more and more money and fame. 10. What can be learnt from the rule of sports? A. Whatever difficulties you have met, never give up. B. Even the strongest athlete will be defeated one day. C. You can’t live in the sports field without any effort or progress. D. You are the winner if you are brave enough to challenge the strong. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. Sportsmen’s spirit. B. Sportsmen’s life. C. Sportsmen’s honor. D. Sportsmen’s pride. D The time for action is now, at least when it comes to climate change. If we don’t take measures that limit global warming, it may be impossible to stop its progress, according to a study published in 2018. The study claims that in 2035, we will cross a point of no return — after which it will be extremely unlikely that we can stop Earth’s temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius (2℃) and kicking off dangerous global disasters. The 2℃ mark is very important for Earth’s well-being. Once the planet warms an additional 2℃, scientists predict a range of disastrous effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to burning heat waves and extreme storms. One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the changing from fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to renewable energy sources. But even this will require significant progress. Scientists have figured that the share of renewables worldwide must grow by at least 2 percent each year in order to slow the process toward climate change. Two percent a year may not sound like much, but in the 20 years leading up to 2017, the percentage of energy from renewables grew by a poor total of 3.6 percent. There is hope, though. If the use of renewable energy were to go beyond the scientists’ model, say by 5 percent per each year, the climate change deadline (最后期限) could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Also, developing technology to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change. These gases change Earth’s atmosphere and allow it to capture more heat from the sun and cause temperatures to rise. “We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of urgency to act for policy makers,” Henk Dijkstra, one of the study authors, said. “Very little time is left.” 12. What might happen once the Earth warms an additional 2℃? A. The climate system will be rebuilt. B. Global warming is uncontrollable. C. Natural disasters become unavoidable. D. Timely action will no longer be necessary. 13 What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The advances of scientific research. B. The shift from fossil fuels to renewables. C. The process of slowing down climate change. D. The increase of public environmental awareness. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The limitation of scientists’ model. B. Possible solutions to slowing climate change. C. The value of the ‘point of no return’ concept. D. Serious effects of greenhouse gases on Earth. 15. Why do the researchers set a deadline? A. To stress the need of global cooperation. B. To call on people to use renewable energy. C. To urge policy makers to take immediate action. D. To show their determination to stop global warming. 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。 Being a good friend isn’t always easy.

Sure enough, across the street was Ink Spot cleaning himself in the window of Mrs. Cleary’s sitting room. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was my cat, not Mrs. Cleary’s. She had already adopted twelve cats. Why must she keep my cat？I could feel anger boiling up inside me. Meanwhile, Ink Spot’s leaving without any signs upset me. A sense of being left out hit me hard. Ink Spot was special for me. After my baby sister’s birth, “my” parents’ time was taken by her. It seemed no one in the family cared about or even noticed me. Worse still, I was packed off to a kindergarten. I hated being left out from the bottom of my heart. It was when mom noticed me weeping in a corner one night that things began to change. After that, Ink Spot came into my life. Every night, he curled（卷曲）up beside me in bed and he was there for me after school when I raced home just to be with him. I fell in love with Ink Spot the first time I saw its tiny black and white kitten, for which I called him Ink Spot. Mom and daddy beamed with pleasure as my eyes danced with joy again. It was the first time that I had smiled since my little baby sister came into the family. As for me, he was more than a cat. Actually, he was my life. But today when I came home, Ink Spot was in Mrs. Cleary’s window. I wanted him back. But mom insisted that if Ink Spot stayed at Mrs. Cleary’s, that meant it was where he wanted to be. “No！Mom, Ink Spot is my cat”, I protested wildly but I had to admit the truth of mom’s words. Standing on the sidewalk, I was at a loss as to what to do. Staring at Ink Spot for a while, I couldn’t stand the anger any longer. 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。 I walked towards Mrs. Cleary’s house hurriedly and knocked at the door angrily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon seeing me, Ink Spot jumped off the window, running towards me in a flash. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 巴中市第三中学学2024年秋学期中期考试 高二年级英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了马在许多著名艺术家的心中一直占有特殊的地位，文章重点介绍了一些著名艺术家最著名的马画。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Chinese Horse at Lascaux Cave中“Early artists created their own paintbrushes from animal skin and hair and also employed a spray (喷洒) painting technique using a hollow (空心的) reed to blow pigment through.(早期的艺术家们用动物的皮肤和毛发制作了他们自己的画笔，也采用了一种用空心芦苇吹颜料的喷洒绘画技术)”可知，中国马画使用了一种喷洒的方法。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Horse Frightened by Lightning中“The symbolism found in most Romantic horse paintings includes themes of passion, power, nobility, and intense emotion.(在大多数浪漫主义的马画中发现的象征主义包括激情、权力、高贵和强烈的情感)”可知，浪漫主义马画中常见的主题是强烈的情感。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Let’s explore some of the most well-known paintings of horses by famous artists.(让我们来探索一些著名艺术家最著名的马画。)”可知，文章主要讲的是一些著名艺术家最著名的马画。由此可推知，这篇文章可能出自一篇艺术杂志文章。故选A项。 B The “Got Talent” crew is one of the pioneers in finding and publicizing music talent and has been giving the world some of its most favorite artists for almost two decades. In 2023, “Britain’s Got Talent” (BGT) uncovered a musical genius named Malakai Bayoh who impressed the audience with perfect high-note singing.

It is common in the athletic world. Sportsmen spend the best part of their lives on hard training and competitions. When it becomes evident that they are on the decline they still make great efforts to give their best so as to bring a satisfactory end to their career. Chances to compete for the championship are few and far between. Life is short. Still shorter is the time for an athlete trying to win games. An athletic contestant really feels that there are so few opportunities and time flies. He treasures every minute, makes full use of it and tries to grasp any chance coming his way. He gets as much as he gives, winning honors not only for himself but also for his country. To participate and to win——that is the Olympic spirit. It finds expression in the weak daring to challenge the strong, and the strong searching forever better performance. Ever better—the ideal always makes a sportsman forward. He will do everything he can for it, never relax, never give up. It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated—even the best is bound to be defeated by someone still stronger. This is the rule of sports—thousands of losers set off one winner who in turn will eventually be replaced by someone on the honor list. However, he is always trying to do the best he can. When the time comes and he knows he can’t, he will step down happily to give place to the younger winner, aware contentedly of the fact that he has done his best for the “ever better” records of the Olympic Games. He will say proudly that he has not lived his youth in vain. 8. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To explain a phenomenon. B. To describe a competition. C. To lead in the topic of this passage. D. To express worries about sportsmen. 9. According to the passage, what kind of ideal pushes an athlete forward? A. He wants to win people’s respect. B. He wants to win honor for his nation. C. He wants to make greater achievements than ever. D. He wants to earn more and more money and fame. 10. What can be learnt from the rule of sports? A. Whatever difficulties you have met, never give up. B. Even the strongest athlete will be defeated one day. C. You can’t live in the sports field without any effort or progress. D. You are the winner if you are brave enough to challenge the strong. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. Sportsmen’s spirit. B. Sportsmen’s life. C. Sportsmen’s honor. D. Sportsmen’s pride. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是运动员在职业生涯中不懈追求的精神。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“A famous springboard driver was defeated by his competitor in the finals of a world championship, offering congratulations to the winner and waving a tearful goodbye to the audience.(一位著名的跳板选手在世界锦标赛的决赛中被对手击败，他向获胜者表示祝贺，并含泪向观众挥手告别。)”和第二段的“It is common in the athletic world. Sportsmen spend the best part of their lives on hard training and competitions.(这在体育界很常见。运动员把生命中最美好的时光花在艰苦的训练和比赛上。)”可知，第一段的作用是引出这篇文章的主题。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Ever better—the ideal always makes a sportsman forward.(做到更好——这个理想总是使运动员前进。)”可知，推动运动员前进的理想是他想取得比以往更大的成就。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated—even the best is bound to be defeated by someone still stronger. This is the rule of sports—thousands of losers set off one winner who in turn will eventually be replaced by someone on the honor list.(据说，没有一个竞争者能够避免被打败，即使是最好的也一定会被更强的人打败。这就是体育运动的规律——成千上万的失败者造就了一个胜利者，而这个胜利者最终会被荣誉名单上的某个人所取代。)”可知，我们可以从体育运动的规律中了解到即使是最强的运动员也有被打败的一天。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段的“To participate and to win——that is the Olympic spirit. It finds expression in the weak daring to challenge the strong, and the strong searching forever better performance.(参与并取胜——这就是奥林匹克精神。它表现在弱者敢于挑战强者，而强者永远寻找更好的表现。)”可知，本文主要讲的是运动员精神，故选A。 D The time for action is now at least when it comes to climate change. If we don’t take measures that limit global warming, it may be impossible to stop its progress, according to a study published in 2018. The study claims that in 2035, we will cross a point of no return — after which it will be extremely unlikely that we can stop Earth’s temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius (2℃) and kicking off dangerous global disasters. The 2℃ mark is very important for Earth’s well-being. Once the planet warms an additional 2℃, scientists predict a range of disastrous effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to burning heat waves and extreme storms. One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the changing from fossil fuels (矿物燃料) to renewable energy sources. But even this will require significant progress. Scientists have figured that the share of renewables worldwide must grow by at least 2 percent each year in order to slow the process toward climate change. Two percent a year may not sound like much, but in the 20 years leading up to 2017, the percentage of energy from renewables grew by a poor total of 3.6 percent. There is hope, though. If the use of renewable energy were to go beyond the scientists’ model, say by 5 percent per each year, the climate change deadline (最后期限) could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Also, developing technology to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change. These gases change Earth’s atmosphere and allow it to capture more heat from the sun and cause temperatures to rise. “We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of urgency to act for policy makers,” Henk Dijkstra, one of the study authors, said. “Very little time is left.” 12. What might happen once the Earth warms an additional 2℃? A. The climate system will be rebuilt. B. Global warming is uncontrollable. C. Natural disasters become unavoidable. D. Timely action will no longer be necessary. 13. What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The advances of scientific research. B. The shift from fossil fuels to renewables. C. The process of slowing down climate change. D. The increase of public environmental awareness. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The limitation of scientists’ model. B. Possible solutions to slowing climate change. C. The value of the ‘point of no return’ concept. D. Serious effects of greenhouse gases on Earth. 15. Why do the researchers set a deadline? A. To stress the need of global cooperation. B. To call on people to use renewable energy. C. To urge policy makers to take immediate action. D. To show their determination to stop global warming. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了全球变暖的发展趋势和即将产生的危害，并敦促决策者要立即采取行动加以应对。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Once the planet warms an additional 2℃, scientists predict a range of disastrous effects, from widespread flooding in coastal areas to burning heat waves and extreme storms.”(科学家们预测，一旦地球温度再升高2摄氏度，就会产生一系列灾难性的影响，从沿海地区的大范围洪水到燃烧的热浪和极端风暴。)可知，一旦地球温度再升高2℃，就很可能无法避免地发生自然灾害。故选C。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“One important area that could slow the movement toward a point of no return in 2035 is the changing from fossil fuels(矿物燃料) to renewable energy sources.”(一个可能会减缓2035年走向不可逆转的临界点的重要领域，是从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变。)和划线词所在句“But even this will require significant progress.”(但甚至这样也需要取得重大进展。)可知，“this”指的是上句所提到的“the changing from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources(从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变)”，即the shift from fossil fuels to renewables(从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变)。故选B。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“If the use of renewable energy were to go beyond the scientists’ model, say by 5 percent per each year, the climate change deadline (最后期限) could move back by at least a decade, the researchers note. Also, developing technology to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere could help slow climate change.”(研究人员指出，如果可再生能源的使用超过科学家的范例，比如每年增加5%，那么气候变化的最后期限可能会推迟至少十年。此外，开发从大气中去除温室气体的技术也有助于减缓气候变化。)可知，该段主要讲述了可能减缓气候变化的解决方案。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段研究者Henk Dijkstra的话“We hope that ‘having a deadline’ may stimulate the sense of urgency to act for policy makers,”(我们希望“设定最后期限”可能会激发决策者采取行动的紧迫感)可知，研究者们设定最后期限是为了敦促决策者立即采取行动。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。 Being a good friend isn’t always easy.

A good friend will also look for opportunities to maximize the time you have together by seeking fun and unique experiences that strengthen and maintain your bond. Open up and allow each other to be vulnerable A good friend is someone genuine, someone with whom you can be yourself and they can be themselves around you. A good friend allows you to be vulnerable with them and vice versa, meaning you can expose your emotions and circumstances with each other and trust one another to listen, be supportive, and have each other’s best interests at heart. ___18___ If your friend hurt you, don’t be afraid to talk about it. ___19___ It is one of the most important aspects of being a good friend. Your friend will need you for support, especially in hard times. However, it’s hard to rely on a person who doesn’t behave in a trustworthy way. We all know well-intentioned people who say, “Okay, I will...” but never follow through. If that’s you, be aware that you’re destroying your friends’ trust. Eventually, they’ll stop believing what you say. Apologize when you’ve made a mistake. If you want your friends to trust you, then you can’t act like you’ re perfect. If you know you’ve made a mistake, admit it instead of denying. Though your friends won’t be happy that you made a mistake, they’ll be very pleased that you’re mature enough to admit it instead of blaming it on someone else. ___20___ Let your friends hear the sincerity in your voice. A. Be dependable and reliable. B. Be a good listener. C. When you do so, you should mean it. D. A good friend is willing to do anything for their friends. E. It will contribute to direct communication between both of you. F. Friendships grow through shared experiences and quality time together. G.

Sure enough, across the street was Ink Spot cleaning himself in the window of Mrs. Cleary’s sitting room. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was my cat, not Mrs. Cleary’s. She had already adopted twelve cats. Why must she keep my cat？I could feel anger boiling up inside me. Meanwhile, Ink Spot’s leaving without any signs upset me. A sense of being left out hit me hard. Ink Spot was special for me. After my baby sister’s birth, “my” parents’ time was taken by her. It seemed no one in the family cared about or even noticed me. Worse still, I was packed off to a kindergarten. I hated being left out from the bottom of my heart. It was when mom noticed me weeping in a corner one night that things began to change. After that, Ink Spot came into my life. Every night, he curled（卷曲）up beside me in bed and he was there for me after school when I raced home just to be with him. I fell in love with Ink Spot the first time I saw its tiny black and white kitten, for which I called him Ink Spot. Mom and daddy beamed with pleasure as my eyes danced with joy again. It was the first time that I had smiled since my little baby sister came into the family. As for me, he was more than a cat. Actually, he was my life. But today when I came home, Ink Spot was in Mrs. Cleary’s window. I wanted him back. But mom insisted that if Ink Spot stayed at Mrs. Cleary’s, that meant it was where he wanted to be. “No！Mom, Ink Spot is my cat”, I protested wildly but I had to admit the truth of mom’s words. Standing on the sidewalk, I was at a loss as to what to do. Staring at Ink Spot for a while, I couldn’t stand the anger any longer. 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。 I walked towards Mrs. Cleary’s house hurriedly and knocked at the door angrily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon seeing me, Ink Spot jumped off the window, running towards me in a flash. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I walked towards Mrs. Cleary’s house hurriedly and knocked at the door angrily. The moment she opened the door, I asked Mrs. Cleary with watery eyes, “Why is my cat in your window？” Confused, Mrs. Cleary responded， “I didn’t know he was yours. I just thought he was another abandoned cat, so I took him in just like I took in all the rest. If what I did has hurt you, I am awfully sorry.” Then she led me directly to the sitting room, where cats were playing happily. Upon seeing me, Ink Spot jumped off the window, running towards me in a flash. A flood of excitement passed through my body. I immediately picked him up and held him close as he rubbed beneath my chin purring loudly. Seeing my cat well taken care of, I realized I had misunderstood my caring neighbor. Now my anger gave way to gratitude. I thanked her again and again before I took Ink Spot to my home, where I thought he should belong. The lost and found companion made me feel I was someone again. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物情感变化为线索展开，主要讲述主人公在妈妈生了妹妹后，感到孤独，多亏有猫咪墨点的陪伴，但有一天猫咪去了领居家，主人公误以为是猫咪抛弃了自己，后来误会解除，他再一次感觉被爱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我慌忙走向克利里太太家，生气地敲了敲门。” 可知，第一段可描写主人公是如何质问克利里太太，以及克利里太太是怎样解释的。 ②由第二段首句内容“墨点一看见我，就从窗户上跳了下来，一眨眼的工夫向我跑来。” 可知，第二段可描写主人公情绪变化过程以及内心活动，还有误会矛盾的化解。 2.续写线索：生气质问——解释归还——矛盾误会解开——感激——幸福快乐 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①慌忙：in a hurry/hurriedly ②一眨眼：in the blink of an eye/in a flash ③被……所取代：give place/way to/be replaced by 情绪类 ①困惑：confused/puzzled ②抱歉：feel/be awfully/badly/terribly/rather sorry 【点睛】[高分句型1]: Then she led me directly to the sitting room, where cats were playing happily.(这句话运用了where引导的非限制性定语从句) [高分句型2]: Seeing my cat well taken care of, I realized I had misunderstood my caring neighbor.(这句话运用了现在分词作状语和省略连接词that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
