B Han Kang, the South Korean author best known for her novel, “The Vegetarian,” was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday — the first writer from her country to receive the award. Han, 53, was born in 1970 in Gwangju, South Korea. Her father was also a novelist, but much less successful. The family struggled financially and moved frequently. In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her poor childhood “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.” When Han was 9, her family moved to Seoul just months before the Gwangju uprising (起义), when government troops fired on crowds of protesters, killing hundreds. The event shaped her views on humanity’s capacity for violence, Han said in the 2016 interview. Han studied literature at Yonsei University in Korea, and her first published works were poems. Her debut novel (首部小说), “Black Deer,” which came out in 1998, was a mystery about a missing woman. In the 2016 interview, Han said it was around that time that she developed the idea for a short story about a woman who becomes a plant, which she eventually developed into “The Vegetarian.” Following her debut, Han went on to write seven more novels, as well as collections of essays and short stories. Among her other novels are “The White Book,” which was also nominated for the International Booker Prize, and “Greek Lessons,” published in English in2023. Han’s writing is now celebrated in South Korea, but that took some time, she said, and some of her books were initially greeted with bafflement. “The Vegetarian” was received as “very extreme and unusual,” Han said. 4. What can be inferred from the fact that Han Kang said her poor childhood “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books”? A. Books helped her endure the hardship of her childhood. B. She had no other entertainment except reading books. C. Reading books made her different from other children. D. She started writing books during her childhood. 5. What does the underlined word “bafflement” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A. Strong support. B. Great confusion. C. High praise. D. Wide acceptance. 6. What is the main purpose of the passage? A To introduce Han Kang’s family background. B. To analyze the themes of Han Kang’s works. C. To present the life and career of Han Kang. D. To compare Han Kang with other Korean writers. 7. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. Biography. B. News. C. Brochure. D. Fiction. C Dogs have aided humans for thousands of years. Man’s best friend has provided protection, companionship and hunting assistance since the days of the earliest human settlements. But how and when dogs evolved from wolves is a matter of debate. Naturalist Mark Derr says there are two main schools of thought: Some researchers believe that humans domesticated wolves who were moving around their villages for trash. Others think that humans were taking care of wolves from the time they were puppies — until enough puppies were tamed (驯化) and they somehow then evolved into dogs. “Neither explanation seems satisfactory,” writes Derr in How the Dog Became the Dog — From Wolves to Our Best Friends. “That is why there’s no consensus.” In his book, Derr explores how the relationship between humans and wolves developed, and how that relationship then influenced the physical evolution of wolves into dogs. He tells Fresh Air’s Dave Davies that he believes humans and wolves developed a close relationship after recognizing themselves in each other while hunting on the trail of big game. “That’s when they started traveling together, and they’ve been at it ever since,” he says. “The dog is a creation of wolves and humans — of two equal beings that came together at a certain point in history and have been together ever since.” Derr says our ancestors likely followed behind wolves as they hunted for game on the trail. Wolves, in turn, learned to wait for leftovers from hunters — who were far more accurate with their weapons than the wolves were with their teeth. “The wolf could say, ‘These people are far more profligate (铺张浪费的) hunters than we are. When they go out, they always leave a surplus. It’s easier for us to take the leftovers that they have than to hunt,’” says Derr. “Hunting is a highly energetic activity. And they could learn from each other, just by observing each other.” As humans and wolves began to work and live together, physical features on the wolf began to change: Its skeletal (骨骼的) frame grew smaller, and its jaw shortened. Wolves that socialized well with humans began to travel with them, and then were able to pass on their genes. 8. What is Mark Derr’s attitude towards the two main explanations about how dogs evolved from wolves? A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral. 9. According to Mark Derr, why did wolves start associating with humans? A. Humans provided them with a safe environment. B. Humans were more successful hunters and left leftovers. C. Wolves were attracted to human villages for trash. D. Humans cared for wolf puppies from a young age. 10. What can be inferred from the statement “The dog is a creation of wolves and humans” in paragraph 4? A. Dogs were intentionally bred (繁殖，饲养) by humans. B. The evolution of dogs was a result of human and wolf interaction. C. Dogs were created by wolves for their own benefit. D. Humans and wolves have always been equal partners. 11. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage? A. The Domestication Debate: Wolves to Dogs. B. The Role of Dogs in Ancient Societies. C. The Mutual Benefits of Human-Wolf Partnerships. D. The Evolutionary Journey: From Wolf to Dog. D As robotic research develops, there is growing interest in using robots in socially assistive applications like senior care facilities, health centers, and classrooms. For mobile robots to fit into these environments, they must be good at navigating in spaces with people. Besides moving safely around humans, robots in these shared places also need to have proper social skills and act in a socially acceptable way. Especially in senior care facilities where people lack enough social stimulation, robots that can make a social connection with those around them through non-verbal (非言语的) clues can improve the well-being of the people they interact with. Also, for humans to feel at ease near a robot, it’s important that the robot acts in a predictable way and is seen as safe and trustworthy. Humans usually navigate cooperatively among others. A moving robot should also be able to develop a mutual understanding with nearby humans when moving among them. This way, both the robot and the human can correctly understand each other’s actions and make predictable movements. It’s known that humans use head and/ or eye gaze (the direction they seem to be looking) in social situations to show their intention and mental states. A large amount of research on interpersonal communication shows that more than half of the meaning in social situations is communicated non-verbally. So, it’s very important to add non-verbal hints like eye gaze to existing navigation algorithms (算法) to improve the robot’s social aspects. To make human-robot collaboration and teaming effective, humans must see the robot as a socially capable agent. In Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) literature, this is called the social presence of the robot, which means “the sense of being together with another”. Aiming to make social robots work more harmoniously and effectively around people, this paper studies how different robot gaze behaviors in different navigation situations affect the robot’s perceived social presence by doing user studies in real-world and simulated environments. 12. Why is it important for mobile robots in socially assistive applications to have social skills? A. To make them more intelligent. B. To enable them to fit into human-populated environments better. C. To increase their speed of movement. D. To reduce the cost of production. 13. What can we learn from the research on interpersonal communication? A. Verbal communication is more important than non-verbal communication. B. Head and eye gaze play a minor role in social situations. C Non-verbal clues are crucial in social communication. D. Only half of the meaning in social situations needs to be communicated. 14. What is the social presence of the robot according to the text? A. The ability of the robot to move freely. B. The sense of the robot being with humans. C. The robot’s physical appearance. D. The robot’s ability to solve problems. 15. Which of the following is most likely to be the next part of the article? A. Detail the specific procedures and methods of the user studies in real-world and simulated environments. B. List application cases of other types of social robots in different situations. C. Illustrate new social robot design concepts that are not related to the research mentioned in the text. D. Analyze the social requirements and coping strategies of robots in industrial production environments. 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。 Museums are centers filled with information designed to enlighten and educate the curious mind.

After spending a fortnight on her own without food or real shelter, the tough dog was accidentally spotted by a couple, who in spite of the cold weather, were hiking the range and happened on her. Two weeks earlier, Neesha’s owners had taken her and their other dog, a German shepherd named Harley, for some outdoor exercise. Terrified by a deer, both dogs took off. Harley found his way back to the parking lot the next day, but Neesha did not. The family made a thorough search. They left a laundry basket of unwashed clothing near the spot where they’ d last seen Neesha on the off chance that she’d home in on the familiar smell marker. They even turned to the Internet for help in finding Neesha-but there was still no sign of her. “We posted our experience on social media. Then a weekend later, we were still looking for her. We were starting to give up hope,” the pet’s owners Mary and her husband David told The Irish Times. Eventually, the family began to accept that Neesha might not be coming home. “We just thought she is 8, and it’s been two weeks. There was no way she could survive.” Doctors Ciara Nolan and Jean Francois Bonnet must be truly dedicated hikers. They braved the elements on the freezing day when the couple decided to reach one of Wicklow’s peaks. As they neared the top, Nolan was shocked to see a dog trembling in the snow. “She was frightened, freezing cold. She didn’t have enough energy to bark or stand,” Bonnet said in an interview. “We tried to get her to walk, but she couldn’t stand. So we covered her with our spare clothes and gave her some food.” 注意 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Bonnet lifted Neesha onto his back for the long path down the mountain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mary and David could scarcely believe it when they learned their dog had been found alive. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 滨城高中联盟2024-2025学年度上学期高三期中Ⅱ考试 英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Han, 53, was born in 1970 in Gwangju, South Korea. Her father was also a novelist, but much less successful. The family struggled financially and moved frequently. In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her poor childhood “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.” When Han was 9, her family moved to Seoul just months before the Gwangju uprising (起义), when government troops fired on crowds of protesters, killing hundreds. The event shaped her views on humanity’s capacity for violence, Han said in the 2016 interview. Han studied literature at Yonsei University in Korea, and her first published works were poems. Her debut novel (首部小说), “Black Deer,” which came out in 1998, was a mystery about a missing woman. In the 2016 interview, Han said it was around that time that she developed the idea for a short story about a woman who becomes a plant, which she eventually developed into “The Vegetarian.” Following her debut, Han went on to write seven more novels, as well as collections of essays and short stories. Among her other novels are “The White Book,” which was also nominated for the International Booker Prize, and “Greek Lessons,” published in English in2023. Han’s writing is now celebrated in South Korea, but that took some time, she said, and some of her books were initially greeted with bafflement. “The Vegetarian” was received as “very extreme and unusual,” Han said. 4. What can be inferred from the fact that Han Kang said her poor childhood “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books”? A. Books helped her endure the hardship of her childhood. B. She had no other entertainment except reading books. C. Reading books made her different from other children. D. She started writing books during her childhood. 5. What does the underlined word “bafflement” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A. Strong support. B. Great confusion. C. High praise. D. Wide acceptance. 6. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce Han Kang’s family background. B. To analyze the themes of Han Kang’s works. C. To present the life and career of Han Kang. D. To compare Han Kang with other Korean writers. 7. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. Biography. B. News. C. Brochure. D. Fiction. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了韩国知名作家韩江因其小说《素食者》而荣获诺贝尔文学奖，成为韩国首位获此殊荣的作家。文章详细描述了韩江的成长经历、文学创作历程以及其作品的特点和影响。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句“In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her poor childhood ‘was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.’”(在2016年接受《泰晤士报》采访时，韩江说，她贫穷的童年“对一个小孩来说太艰难了，但我很好，因为我有书为伴。”)”由此可以推断出，书籍帮助韩江度过了童年的艰难时期，A项“Books helped her endure the hardship of her childhood.( 书籍帮助她忍受了童年的困苦)”符合文意。故选A项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Han’s writing is now celebrated in South Korea, but that took some time, she said,(她说，韩的作品现在在韩国备受推崇，但这花了一些时间)”以及划线词后面的句子“‘The Vegetarian’ was received as ‘very extreme and unusual,’ Han said.”(《素食者》被认为‘非常极端和不同寻常’）可知，韩江的作品在韩国现在受到赞誉，但是这是经过一段时间的，因为韩江的作品被认为是“非常极端和不同寻常的”，即最初并不被理解或接受，是令人困惑的。划线词与B选项“Great confusion(极大困惑)”为同义词。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Han Kang, the South Korean author best known for her novel, “The Vegetarian,” was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday — the first writer from her country to receive the award.(周四，以小说《素食者》而闻名的韩国作家韩江被授予诺贝尔文学奖，这是韩国第一位获得该奖项的作家)”以及通读全文可知，文章开篇介绍了韩江因其小说《素食者》而荣获诺贝尔文学奖，接下来详细描述了韩江的成长经历、文学创作历程以及其作品的特点和影响。因此，文章的主要目的是介绍韩江的生活和职业生涯。C选项“To present the life and career of Han Kang. (介绍韩江的生活和职业生涯)”符合题意。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Han Kang, the South Korean author best known for her novel, “The Vegetarian,” was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday — the first writer from her country to receive the award.(周四，以小说《素食者》而闻名的韩国作家韩江被授予诺贝尔文学奖，这是韩国第一位获得该奖项的作家)”以及通读全文可知，这是一篇关于韩江荣获诺贝尔文学奖的新闻报道。新闻报道通常发布在新闻类媒体上。B选项“News(新闻)”最符合文章的性质和来源。故选B。 C Dogs have aided humans for thousands of years. Man’s best friend has provided protection, companionship and hunting assistance since the days of the earliest human settlements. But how and when dogs evolved from wolves is a matter of debate. Naturalist Mark Derr says there are two main schools of thought: Some researchers believe that humans domesticated wolves who were moving around their villages for trash. Others think that humans were taking care of wolves from the time they were puppies — until enough puppies were tamed (驯化) and they somehow then evolved into dogs. “Neither explanation seems satisfactory,” writes Derr in How the Dog Became the Dog — From Wolves to Our Best Friends. “That is why there’s no consensus.” In his book, Derr explores how the relationship between humans and wolves developed, and how that relationship then influenced the physical evolution of wolves into dogs. He tells Fresh Air’s Dave Davies that he believes humans and wolves developed a close relationship after recognizing themselves in each other while hunting on the trail of big game. “That’s when they started traveling together, and they’ve been at it ever since,” he says. “The dog is a creation of wolves and humans — of two equal beings that came together at a certain point in history and have been together ever since.” Derr says our ancestors likely followed behind wolves as they hunted for game on the trail. Wolves, in turn, learned to wait for leftovers from hunters — who were far more accurate with their weapons than the wolves were with their teeth. “The wolf could say, ‘These people are far more profligate (铺张浪费的) hunters than we are. When they go out, they always leave a surplus. It’s easier for us to take the leftovers that they have than to hunt,’” says Derr. “Hunting is a highly energetic activity. And they could learn from each other, just by observing each other.” As humans and wolves began to work and live together, physical features on the wolf began to change: Its skeletal (骨骼的) frame grew smaller, and its jaw shortened. Wolves that socialized well with humans began to travel with them, and then were able to pass on their genes. 8. What is Mark Derr’s attitude towards the two main explanations about how dogs evolved from wolves? A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral. 9. According to Mark Derr, why did wolves start associating with humans? A. Humans provided them with a safe environment. B. Humans were more successful hunters and left leftovers. C. Wolves were attracted to human villages for trash. D. Humans cared for wolf puppies from a young age. 10. What can be inferred from the statement “The dog is a creation of wolves and humans” in paragraph 4? A. Dogs were intentionally bred (繁殖，饲养) by humans. B. The evolution of dogs was a result of human and wolf interaction. C. Dogs were created by wolves for their own benefit. D. Humans and wolves have always been equal partners. 11. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage? A. The Domestication Debate: Wolves to Dogs. B. The Role of Dogs in Ancient Societies. C. The Mutual Benefits of Human-Wolf Partnerships. D. The Evolutionary Journey: From Wolf to Dog. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了马克·德尔对于狼进化成狗一些看法以及解释。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Neither explanation seems satisfactory,” writes Derr in How the Dog Became the Dog — From Wolves to Our Best Friends. “That is why there’s no consensus.”(“两种解释似乎都不令人满意，”德尔在《狗是如何变成狗的——从狼到我们最好的朋友》一书中写道。“这就是为什么没有达成共识。”)”可知，马克·德尔对关于狗是如何从狼进化而来的两种主要解释持怀疑态度。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Derr says our ancestors likely followed behind wolves as they hunted for game on the trail. Wolves, in turn, learned to wait for leftovers from hunters — who were far more accurate with their weapons than the wolves were with their teeth.(德尔说，我们的祖先很可能在狼在这条路上狩猎时跟在它们后面。反过来，狼也学会了等待猎人留下的残羹剩饭——猎人的武器比狼的牙齿精准得多)”可知，根据马克·德尔的说法，狼开始与人类交往是因为人类是更成功的猎人，会留下剩饭剩菜。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The dog is a creation of wolves and humans — of two equal beings that came together at a certain point in history and have been together ever since.(狗是狼和人类的产物——两个平等的生物在历史的某个时刻走到一起，并从此一直在一起)”以及倒数第二段““The wolf could say, ‘These people are far more profligate (铺张浪费的) hunters than we are. When they go out, they always leave a surplus. It’s easier for us to take the leftovers that they have than to hunt,’” says Derr. “Hunting is a highly energetic activity. And they could learn from each other, just by observing each other.”(德尔说：“狼可能会说，‘这些人是比我们更挥霍的猎人。当他们出去的时候，他们总是留下盈余。对我们来说，拿走他们剩下的东西比捕猎更容易。狩猎是一项精力充沛的活动。他们可以互相学习，只是通过观察对方。”)”可推知，狗的进化是人类和狼相互作用的结果。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In his book, Derr explores how the relationship between humans and wolves developed, and how that relationship then influenced the physical evolution of wolves into dogs. He tells Fresh Air’s Dave Davies that he believes humans and wolves developed a close relationship after recognizing themselves in each other while hunting on the trail of big game.(在他的书中，德尔探讨了人与狼之间的关系是如何发展的，以及这种关系是如何影响狼向狗的身体进化的。他告诉《新鲜空气》的戴夫·戴维斯，他认为人类和狼在捕猎大型猎物时认出了彼此，从而建立了密切的关系)”可知，文章主要说明了马克·德尔对于狼进化成狗的一些看法以及解释。D选项“进化之旅：从狼到狗”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D As robotic research develops, there is growing interest in using robots in socially assistive applications like senior care facilities, health centers, and classrooms. For mobile robots to fit into these environments, they must be good at navigating in spaces with people. Besides moving safely around humans, robots in these shared places also need to have proper social skills and act in a socially acceptable way. Especially in senior care facilities where people lack enough social stimulation, robots that can make a social connection with those around them through non-verbal (非言语的) clues can improve the well-being of the people they interact with. Also, for humans to feel at ease near a robot, it’s important that the robot acts in a predictable way and is seen as safe and trustworthy. Humans usually navigate cooperatively among others. A moving robot should also be able to develop a mutual understanding with nearby humans when moving among them. This way, both the robot and the human can correctly understand each other’s actions and make predictable movements. It’s known that humans use head and/ or eye gaze (the direction they seem to be looking) in social situations to show their intention and mental states. A large amount of research on interpersonal communication shows that more than half of the meaning in social situations is communicated non-verbally. So, it’s very important to add non-verbal hints like eye gaze to existing navigation algorithms (算法) to improve the robot’s social aspects. To make human-robot collaboration and teaming effective, humans must see the robot as a socially capable agent. In Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) literature, this is called the social presence of the robot, which means “the sense of being together with another”. Aiming to make social robots work more harmoniously and effectively around people, this paper studies how different robot gaze behaviors in different navigation situations affect the robot’s perceived social presence by doing user studies in real-world and simulated environments. 12. Why is it important for mobile robots in socially assistive applications to have social skills? A. To make them more intelligent. B. To enable them to fit into human-populated environments better. C. To increase their speed of movement. D. To reduce the cost of production. 13. What can we learn from the research on interpersonal communication? A. Verbal communication is more important than non-verbal communication. B. Head and eye gaze play a minor role in social situations. C. Non-verbal clues are crucial in social communication. D. Only half of the meaning in social situations needs to be communicated. 14. What is the social presence of the robot according to the text? A. The ability of the robot to move freely. B. The sense of the robot being with humans. C. The robot’s physical appearance. D. The robot’s ability to solve problems. 15. Which of the following is most likely to be the next part of the article? A. Detail the specific procedures and methods of the user studies in real-world and simulated environments. B. List application cases of other types of social robots in different situations. C. Illustrate new social robot design concepts that are not related to the research mentioned in the text. D. Analyze the social requirements and coping strategies of robots in industrial production environments. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了机器人在社交辅助应用中的发展，特别是在人类密集环境中（如养老院、健康中心和教室）的导航和社会技能的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For mobile robots to fit into these environments, they must be good at navigating in spaces with people. Besides moving safely around humans, robots in these shared places also need to have proper social skills and act in a socially acceptable way. (为了让移动机器人适应这些环境，它们必须善于与人一起在空间中导航。除了能在人类周围安全移动外，这些共享场所的机器人还需要具备适当的社会技能，并以社会可接受的方式行动)”可知，移动机器人在社交辅助应用中具备社会技能很重要，是为了使它们能更好地融入人类密集的环境。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It’s known that humans use head and/ or eye gaze (the direction they seem to be looking) in social situations to show their intention and mental states. A large amount of research on interpersonal communication shows that more than half of the meaning in social situations is communicated non-verbally. (众所周知，人类在社会交往中会使用头部和/或眼神注视（他们似乎正在看的方向）来表明自己的意图和心理状态。大量关于人际沟通的研究表明，社交场合中超过一半的意义是通过非言语方式传达的)”可知，社交场合中超过一半的意义是通过非言语方式传达的，因此从关于人际沟通的研究中，我们可以了解到非言语线索在社交沟通中至关重要。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) literature, this is called the social presence of the robot, which means “the sense of being together with another”. (在人类-机器人交互（HRI）文献中，这被称为机器人的社会存在感，意味着“与他人在一起的感觉”)”可知，机器人的社会存在感是指机器人与人类在一起的感觉。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Aiming to make social robots work more harmoniously and effectively around people, this paper studies how different robot gaze behaviors in different navigation situations affect the robot’s perceived social presence by doing user studies in real-world and simulated environments.(为了使社交机器人在人类周围更加和谐高效地工作，本文通过对真实环境和模拟环境的用户研究，研究了不同导航情境下机器人凝视行为对机器人感知的社交在场感的影响)”可知，文章最后提到通过现实世界和模拟环境中的用户研究来探索不同注视行为对机器人社会存在感的影响。由此推知，接下来最有可能详细阐述在这些环境中进行用户研究的具体程序和方法。故选A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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Museums are centers filled with information designed to enlighten and educate the curious mind.

After spending a fortnight on her own without food or real shelter, the tough dog was accidentally spotted by a couple, who in spite of the cold weather, were hiking the range and happened on her. Two weeks earlier, Neesha’s owners had taken her and their other dog, a German shepherd named Harley, for some outdoor exercise. Terrified by a deer, both dogs took off. Harley found his way back to the parking lot the next day, but Neesha did not. The family made a thorough search. They left a laundry basket of unwashed clothing near the spot where they’ d last seen Neesha on the off chance that she’d home in on the familiar smell marker. They even turned to the Internet for help in finding Neesha-but there was still no sign of her. “We posted our experience on social media. Then a weekend later, we were still looking for her. We were starting to give up hope,” the pet’s owners Mary and her husband David told The Irish Times. Eventually, the family began to accept that Neesha might not be coming home. “We just thought she is 8, and it’s been two weeks. There was no way she could survive.” Doctors Ciara Nolan and Jean Francois Bonnet must be truly dedicated hikers. They braved the elements on the freezing day when the couple decided to reach one of Wicklow’s peaks. As they neared the top, Nolan was shocked to see a dog trembling in the snow. “She was frightened, freezing cold. She didn’t have enough energy to bark or stand,” Bonnet said in an interview. “We tried to get her to walk, but she couldn’t stand. So we covered her with our spare clothes and gave her some food.” 注意 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Bonnet lifted Neesha onto his back for the long path down the mountain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mary and David could scarcely believe it when they learned their dog had been found alive. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Bonnet lifted Neesha onto his back for the long path down the mountain. In the slippery and icy conditions, they stumbled and fell several times, yet Bonnet never thought of giving up. Instead, he came up with a clever idea and wrapped Neesha tightly in a scarf to make sure she wouldn’t slip off. Once they finally reached the level ground, Nolan and Bonnet wasted no time in taking the poor dog straight to the nearest animal rescue station. Despite being extremely weak, aside from a few minor cuts and scrapes, Neesha was in relatively good condition, which was truly a relief. The couple managed to contact Neesha’s owners by means of the dog tag that she was wearing. Mary and David could scarcely believe it when they learned their dog had been found alive. The moment they received the call from the animal rescue station, it felt like a miracle had unfolded right before their eyes. They rushed over immediately, and when they saw Neesha, who was a bit weak but still wagging her tail at the sight of them, their eyes welled up with tears. They hugged her gently, as if afraid of losing her again. They expressed their heartfelt appreciation to the kind hikers, Doctors Ciara Nolan and Jean Francois Bonnet. From then on, they cherished every moment with Neesha even more, knowing just how precious this second chance of having her by their side was. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人和动物为线索展开，本文主要讲述了一只名叫Neesha的8岁金毛寻回犬在户外走失两周后，在寒冷无食无蔽的日子里奇迹生还的故事。一对医生夫妇在徒步旅行时偶然发现了虚弱不堪的Neesha，并将其救助送往动物救援站。最终，Neesha的主人得知消息后赶往救援站，与失而复得的宠物团聚，并对救助者表达了深深的感激之情。 详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Bonnet把Neesha背在背上，开始走下山的长路。”可知，第一段可描写Bonnet和Nolan在下山过程中如何照顾Neesha，并将其送到动物救援站的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“Mary和David简直不敢相信他们的狗还活着。”可知，第二段可描写Mary和David与Neesha重逢后的感人场景，以及他们对Bonnet和Nolan的感激之情。 2.续写线索：背狗下山——照顾狗——送狗到救援站——得知狗还活着——赶到救援站——重逢——感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.提出：come up with/put forward ②.到达：reach/get to ③.展现：unfold/emerge 情绪类： ①.感激：express appreciation/show gratitude/be thankful ②.害怕的：afraid/feared 【点睛】[高分句型1].
