He is following the path our human ancestors took out of Africa about 200,000 years ago. Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. And he isn't walking alone. During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. Along the way, he meets people from small villages, cities, and country farms. Sometimes, they give him a place to stay for a night or two. Often, his hosts share a little bit about their lives with him. The Out of Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides on boats or ships, Salopek is walking the entire way. No cars. He doesn’t even ride bikes, though he does use pack animals. An important part of Salopek’s mission is to tell the stories of ordinary people. Walking gives him more time to look around and to talk to the people he encounters. He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, “I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.” Following a story is not new for Paul Salopek. He is a journalist. He has written for The Atlantic, the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, and other publications. His works have earned many awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes. As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. Salopek calls it slow journalism. The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.” 4. What is the Out of Eden Walk? A. It is the latest penned work of Paul Salopek. B. It is a ship journey from Africa to the tip of South America. C It is a toured long walk across the continents taken by Paul Salopek. D. It is a new fashionable way of travelling through different countries. 5. What does Salopek think of the conversation with strangers? A. Fruitful. B. Discouraging. C. Challenging. D. Time-wasted. 6. Why did Paul Salopek start the Out of Eden Walk? A. To finish his work for the Pulitzer Prizes. B. To explore the best headlines for the journalism. C. To unearth the deeper part of the major news stories. D. To interest the readers in the ancient ordinary people. 7. What do we know about slow journalism? A. Realistic and worthwhile. B. Influential but informal. C. Humorous and relaxing. D. Efficient and meaningful. C In the 2006 film, The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly scolds her unattractive assistant for imagining that high fashion doesn’t affect her. Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain shop in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment (衣服). This top-down conception of the fashion business has gone out of date and is different to “fast fashion” described in Elizabeth Cline’s book Overdressed. In the last decade or so, advances in technology have allowed mass-market labels such as Zara, H＆ M, and Uniqlo to react to trends and demand more quickly. Quicker turnarounds mean more frequent releases and greater profit. These labels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposable (一次性的) — meant to last only a wash or two, although they don’t advertise that — and to renew their wardrobes every few weeks. By offering trendy items at cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have changed fashion cycles, shaking an industry long accustomed to a seasonal pace. The victims of this revolution, of course, are not limited to designers. For H＆M to offer a ＄5.95 skirt in all its 2,300-plus stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage overseas labor and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals. “Mass-produced clothing, like fast food, fills a hunger and need, yet is non-durable and wasteful,” Cline argues. Americans, she finds, buy roughly 20 billion garments a year — about 64 items per person — and no matter how much they give away, this excess leads to waste. Though several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to reduce their impact on labor and the environment — including H ＆ M, with its Green Conscious Collection Line — Cline believes lasting change can only be effected by the customer. However, vanity (虚荣) is a constant; people won’t start shopping with environmental awareness unless they can’t afford to. 8. What does Priestly criticize her assistant for? A. Her lack of imagination. B. Her poor bargaining skill. C. Her action of following high fashion. D. Her lack of knowledge about fashion. 9. What do mass-market labels urge consumers to do according to Cline? A. Shop for their garments more frequently. B. Resist the influence of advertisements. C. Create the latest trends in fashion. D. Fight against unnecessary waste. 10. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Vanity has more often been found in fast-fashion companies. B. The fast-fashion industry ignores environmental protection. C. Pricing is vital to environment-friendly purchasing. D People are more interested in unaffordable garments. 11. What’s the tone of the passage towards “fast fashion”? A. Indifferent. B. Favorable. C. Critical. D. Pessimistic. D When you think of the Arctic, you probably imagine an icy land of pure white snow. Many also imagine it as the last really clean place left on Earth. We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish, and now, it’s the Arctic’s turn. German scientists have recently found microplastics (微塑料) in the Arctic’s snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic that are smaller than 5 millimetres in diameter. Remarkably, the scientists found 1,800 pieces of microplastic per litre of snow. So how is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic? According to one scientist, “It’s readily apparent that the majority of the microplastic in the snow comes from the air.” They fall off of plastic objects and are moved by the wind, just like dust. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow. Finding these plastics in the remote Arctic snow means that they are sure to be found all over the world. In fact, an even higher amount of microplastic was found in the snow around the cities that were studied. Due to the small size of microplastics and their ability to travel through the air, researchers now believe that they may cause significant air pollution. If the microplastics are small enough, they can be inhaled (吸入) and stay in our bodies for a long time, which could have harmful effects in the long term. In fact, some studies have already shown that microplastics may increase the risk of lung cancer, heightening the need for further investigation. Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world. Research has shown that they flow over very long distances, damaging ecosystems along the way. Many people are unaware that microplastics are also released when we wash our clothes. Tiny plastic fibres are released from our clothes into the waste water and then flow into rivers and out to the sea. These fibres are then eaten by sea animals, meaning that when people eat seafood, they could also be eating plastic. So how bad is microplastic for us? Scientists are unwilling to answer this question for now. We do know that our bodies are safe from taking in large pieces of microplastic, but the microplastic in the air and water is becoming harder and harder to avoid. Fortunately, governments around the world are now realising the importance of reducing plastic pollution, and scientists are working together to find a global solution. 12. Where do the microplastics in the Arctic’s snow come from? A. From the sky. B. From the ocean. C. From waste water. D. From sea animals. 13. Why do scientists need to study more about the microplastic in our bodies? A. Our bodies can take in small microplastics. B. Microplastic may harm our eyesight. C. Microplastic may lead to lung cancer. D. Earlier studies didn’t succeed. 14. What is to blame for plastic pollution? A. The weather. B. Microplastics. C. Air pollution. D. Human activities. 15. What might be the best title for this passage? A. Plastic Pollution Does Harm to Our Health B. Air Pollution Is Becoming Serious C. Plastic Snow Falls from the Sky D. The Arctic is No Longer Clean 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。 Everyone knows that fish is good for your health.

We were on vacation, just me, my husband, and our two kids, out for a nice, safe, socially distanced week away. We went to a popular place called Diana's Baths, where the water falls off a series of flat rocks up the mountain. The baths were full of families, so we made our way to one of the upper levels of rock to keep our distance. Both where we sat and down below, the water fell down and into small pools, where kids in swimsuits were playing water around. I was frightened as I saw my two boys jump between the smooth rocks. I told them to stay away from all those edges. But I soon relaxed, and we were all having fun, laughing in the pools. Suddenly, I turned and saw my son Wyatt sitting down between two rocks in fast-moving water. I shouted at him to get out. He called back something that I couldn't hear, and then he disappeared over the edge. All I remember from the moments after was screaming, over and over, like a prayer, “Somebody help my son!” I didn't even know what help he needed, because I couldn't force myself to look. My husband was already jumping down the rocks. I finally looked. Wyatt was sitting up-he was alive. My biggest fear was gone. As I held my younger son, Jed, close, I heard another woman scream. “That child just went over the waterfall!” she shouted at her husband. “We are leaving!” They walked away, never even looking back to see whether our child was OK. It was about 4 meters from the top of the waterfall to the pool below, which was filled with huge rocks. Wyatt had fallen on his back, straight onto the rocks. That's what Lisa told us. We didn't know her name was Lisa at that point. All we knew was that while everyone else looked on from a distance, too afraid or unbothered to help, Lisa didn't hesitate. 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。 Later, Lisa told me that she was a nurse. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The rescue team finally came. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5CACBA 6-10ABBBA 11-15BCABC 16-20CABCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 赤峰二中 2024 级高二上学期第二次月考 英语试题 （考试时间：120 分钟 试卷满分：150 分） 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用 2B 铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时， 将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。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.What is the possible relationship between the two speakers?

He is following the path our human ancestors took out of Africa about 200,000 years ago. Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. And he isn't walking alone. During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. Along the way, he meets people from small villages, cities, and country farms. Sometimes, they give him a place to stay for a night or two. Often, his hosts share a little bit about their lives with him. The Out of Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides on boats or ships, Salopek is walking the entire way. No cars. He doesn’t even ride bikes, though he does use pack animals. An important part of Salopek’s mission is to tell the stories of ordinary people. Walking gives him more time to look around and to talk to the people he encounters. He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, “I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.” Following a story is not new for Paul Salopek. He is a journalist. He has written for The Atlantic, the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, and other publications. His works have earned many awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes. As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. Salopek calls it slow journalism. The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.” 4. What is the Out of Eden Walk? A. It is the latest penned work of Paul Salopek. B. It is a ship journey from Africa to the tip of South America. C. It is a toured long walk across the continents taken by Paul Salopek. D. It is a new fashionable way of travelling through different countries. 5. What does Salopek think of the conversation with strangers? A. Fruitful. B. Discouraging. C. Challenging. D. Time-wasted. 6. Why did Paul Salopek start the Out of Eden Walk? A. To finish his work for the Pulitzer Prizes. B. To explore the best headlines for the journalism. C. To unearth the deeper part of the major news stories. D. To interest the readers in the ancient ordinary people. 7. What do we know about slow journalism? A. Realistic and worthwhile. B. Influential but informal. C. Humorous and relaxing. D. Efficient and meaningful. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了国家地理探险家Paul Salopek的徒步旅程，他从非洲出发，重走人类祖先迁徙至南美洲的路线，并沿途记录所见所闻，分享普通人的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek is walking from Africa to the tip of South America.(国家地理探险家保罗·萨洛佩克正在从非洲步行到南美洲的顶端。)”和第二段“Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. (萨洛佩克将他的旅程命名为“走出伊甸园之旅”。)”及“During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. (在保罗行走的每一部分，都有一名当地导游陪同。)”可推知, “走出伊甸园之旅”是保罗·萨洛佩克(Paul Salopek)在各大洲进行的一次巡回徒步旅行。故选C项。 5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. (当他走过不同的国家、风景和文化时，萨洛佩克正在记录他所看到和听到的东西。)”和第三段“He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, ‘I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.’(自从他开始步行以来，他已经与数千人交谈过。正如他所说，‘我与完全陌生的人进行了长达七、八、九年的对话。’)”可知，萨洛佩克记录他自己一路的所见所闻, 故可推知其与陌生人的谈话是有收获的。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. (作为一名记者，萨洛佩克经常飞到一个地区报道一个故事，然后很快又离开了。但他觉得自己错过了故事的一部分，想更深入地挖掘。走出伊甸园之旅就是从这个愿望中诞生的。)”可知, 保罗·萨洛佩克开始了“走出伊甸园之旅”，是为了挖掘重大新闻故事的更深层次内容。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.”(目标是通过与受影响的普通人交谈，深入探索我们这个时代的一些重大新闻故事。正如萨洛佩克所描述的，“这是关于放慢速度，真正融入当天的故事，了解头条新闻背后的人。”)”可知, 慢速新闻报道耗时但却是值得的。故选 A项。 C In the 2006 film, The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly scolds her unattractive assistant for imagining that high fashion doesn’t affect her. Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain shop in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment (衣服). This top-down conception of the fashion business has gone out of date and is different to “fast fashion” described in Elizabeth Cline’s book Overdressed. In the last decade or so, advances in technology have allowed mass-market labels such as Zara, H＆ M, and Uniqlo to react to trends and demand more quickly. Quicker turnarounds mean more frequent releases and greater profit. These labels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposable (一次性的) — meant to last only a wash or two, although they don’t advertise that — and to renew their wardrobes every few weeks. By offering trendy items at cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have changed fashion cycles, shaking an industry long accustomed to a seasonal pace. The victims of this revolution, of course, are not limited to designers. For H＆M to offer a ＄5.95 skirt in all its 2,300-plus stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage overseas labor and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals. “Mass-produced clothing, like fast food, fills a hunger and need, yet is non-durable and wasteful,” Cline argues. Americans, she finds, buy roughly 20 billion garments a year — about 64 items per person — and no matter how much they give away, this excess leads to waste. Though several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to reduce their impact on labor and the environment — including H ＆ M, with its Green Conscious Collection Line — Cline believes lasting change can only be effected by the customer. However, vanity (虚荣) is a constant; people won’t start shopping with environmental awareness unless they can’t afford to. 8. What does Priestly criticize her assistant for? A. Her lack of imagination. B. Her poor bargaining skill. C. Her action of following high fashion. D. Her lack of knowledge about fashion. 9. What do mass-market labels urge consumers to do according to Cline? A. Shop for their garments more frequently. B. Resist the influence of advertisements. C. Create the latest trends in fashion. D. Fight against unnecessary waste. 10. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Vanity has more often been found in fast-fashion companies. B. The fast-fashion industry ignores environmental protection. C. Pricing is vital to environment-friendly purchasing. D. People are more interested in unaffordable garments. 11. What’s the tone of the passage towards “fast fashion”? A. Indifferent. B. Favorable. C. Critical. D. Pessimistic. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Elizabeth Cline在她的《过度着装》一书中表达了对“快时尚”的批判，她认为快时尚品牌以极低的价格提供紧跟潮流的产品，劫持了时尚周期，动摇了一个长期习惯于季节性变化的行业，指出了快时尚的一些不良影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the 2006 film, The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly scolds her unattractive assistant for imagining that high fashion doesn’t affect her. Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain shop in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment (衣服).(在2006年的电影《穿普拉达的女魔头》中，Miranda Priestly斥责她那毫无魅力的助理，因为她以为高级时装不会影响到她。Priestly解释说，多年来，从时装表演到百货公司，再到廉价商店，这位可怜的女孩无疑是在廉价商店找到了她的衣服)”可知，Priestly批评她的助理是因为助理缺乏时尚知识，故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“These labels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposable (一次性的) — meant to last only a wash or two, although they don’t advertise that — and to renew their wardrobes every few weeks.(这些品牌鼓励注重时尚的消费者把衣服看成是一次性的（即只能洗一两次，尽管他们没有做广告），并且每隔几周就更新一次衣橱)”可知，大众品牌敦促消费者更频繁地购买衣服，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中people won’t start shopping with environmental awareness unless they can’t afford to(人们不会带着环保意识购物，除非他们负担不起)”可知，价格对带着环保意识购物至关重要，故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“For H＆M to offer a ＄5.95 skirt in all its 2,300-plus stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage overseas labor and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals.(H&M要在全球2300多家门店销售5.95美元的裙子，就必须依靠低工资的海外劳动力，并使用大量有害化学物质)”和第四段中“Mass-produced clothing, like fast food, fills a hunger and need, yet is non-durable and wasteful(批量生产的服装，就像快餐一样，满足了饥饿感和需求，但却不耐用，而且浪费)”可知，文章对于“快时尚”是批评的语气。故选C。 D When you think of the Arctic, you probably imagine an icy land of pure white snow. Many also imagine it as the last really clean place left on Earth. We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish, and now, it’s the Arctic’s turn. German scientists have recently found microplastics (微塑料) in the Arctic’s snow. Microplastics are pieces of plastic that are smaller than 5 millimetres in diameter. Remarkably, the scientists found 1,800 pieces of microplastic per litre of snow. So how is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic? According to one scientist, “It’s readily apparent that the majority of the microplastic in the snow comes from the air.” They fall off of plastic objects and are moved by the wind, just like dust. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow. Finding these plastics in the remote Arctic snow means that they are sure to be found all over the world. In fact, an even higher amount of microplastic was found in the snow around the cities that were studied. Due to the small size of microplastics and their ability to travel through the air, researchers now believe that they may cause significant air pollution. If the microplastics are small enough, they can be inhaled (吸入) and stay in our bodies for a long time, which could have harmful effects in the long term. In fact, some studies have already shown that microplastics may increase the risk of lung cancer, heightening the need for further investigation. Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world. Research has shown that they flow over very long distances, damaging ecosystems along the way. Many people are unaware that microplastics are also released when we wash our clothes. Tiny plastic fibres are released from our clothes into the waste water and then flow into rivers and out to the sea. These fibres are then eaten by sea animals, meaning that when people eat seafood, they could also be eating plastic. So how bad is microplastic for us? Scientists are unwilling to answer this question for now. We do know that our bodies are safe from taking in large pieces of microplastic, but the microplastic in the air and water is becoming harder and harder to avoid. Fortunately, governments around the world are now realising the importance of reducing plastic pollution, and scientists are working together to find a global solution. 12. Where do the microplastics in the Arctic’s snow come from? A. From the sky. B. From the ocean. C From waste water. D. From sea animals. 13. Why do scientists need to study more about the microplastic in our bodies? A. Our bodies can take in small microplastics. B. Microplastic may harm our eyesight. C. Microplastic may lead to lung cancer. D. Earlier studies didn’t succeed. 14. What is to blame for plastic pollution? A. The weather. B. Microplastics. C. Air pollution. D. Human activities. 15. What might be the best title for this passage? A. Plastic Pollution Does Harm to Our Health B. Air Pollution Is Becoming Serious C. Plastic Snow Falls from the Sky D. The Arctic is No Longer Clean 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。遥远的北极一直被视为尚未被人类污染的人间净土，然而，这片远方的净土如今也面临着塑料污染的威胁。科学家们在北极的雪中也发现了大量的微塑料。文章分析了微塑料的来源、对环境和健康的影响，并指出人类活动是造成这种污染的主要原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“So how is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic? According to one scientist, “It’s readily apparent that the majority of the microplastic in the snow comes from the air.” They fall off of plastic objects and are moved by the wind, just like dust. They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow.(那么，塑料污染是如何到达北极的呢？一位科学家表示：‘很明显，雪中的大部分微塑料来自空气。’它们从塑料物体上掉下来，像灰尘一样被风吹走。它们与空气中的冰混合，以雪的形式落到地面)”可知，北极的雪中所含的微塑料来自空中，故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段末句“In fact, some studies have already shown that microplastics may increase the risk of lung cancer, heightening the need for further investigation.(事实上，一些研究已经表明，微塑料可能会增加患肺癌的风险，因此需要进一步研究)”可知，科学家需要更多地研究我们体内的微塑料，是因为微塑料可能导致肺癌。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic rubbish, and now, it’s the Arctic’s turn.(我们用塑料垃圾污染了最深的海洋，现在，轮到北极了)”可知，塑料污染应归咎于人类活动，故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第二段中“German scientists have recently found microplastics (微塑料) in the Arctic’s snow.(德国科学家最近在北极的雪中发现了微塑料)”可知，文章主要讲述北极地区的塑料污染的成因及其所造成的严重后果。C项“从天而降的含塑料的雪”为最佳标题，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。 Everyone knows that fish is good for your health.

We were on vacation, just me, my husband, and our two kids, out for a nice, safe, socially distanced week away. We went to a popular place called Diana's Baths, where the water falls off a series of flat rocks up the mountain. The baths were full of families, so we made our way to one of the upper levels of rock to keep our distance. Both where we sat and down below, the water fell down and into small pools, where kids in swimsuits were playing water around. I was frightened as I saw my two boys jump between the smooth rocks. I told them to stay away from all those edges. But I soon relaxed, and we were all having fun, laughing in the pools. Suddenly, I turned and saw my son Wyatt sitting down between two rocks in fast-moving water. I shouted at him to get out. He called back something that I couldn't hear, and then he disappeared over the edge. All I remember from the moments after was screaming, over and over, like a prayer, “Somebody help my son!” I didn't even know what help he needed, because I couldn't force myself to look. My husband was already jumping down the rocks. I finally looked. Wyatt was sitting up-he was alive. My biggest fear was gone. As I held my younger son, Jed, close, I heard another woman scream. “That child just went over the waterfall!” she shouted at her husband. “We are leaving!” They walked away, never even looking back to see whether our child was OK. It was about 4 meters from the top of the waterfall to the pool below, which was filled with huge rocks. Wyatt had fallen on his back, straight onto the rocks. That's what Lisa told us. We didn't know her name was Lisa at that point. All we knew was that while everyone else looked on from a distance, too afraid or unbothered to help, Lisa didn't hesitate. 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。 Later, Lisa told me that she was a nurse. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The rescue team finally came. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Later, Lisa told me that she was a nurse. In fact, by the time I climbed down the rocks and my husband pulled Wyatt out of the water, she had already called 911. She put a red, white, and blue towel under Wyatt's head. She told us to keep him still and on his back in case he had injured his bones. I finally had time to ask her name. “Lisa,” she said. “And I'm not leaving you.” The rescue team finally came. They took Wyatt out of the park to the nearest hospital. Wyatt had three broken bones and a wound in lung—injuries that sound terrible but recover on their own. As soon as I knew that Wyatt was going to be OK, my thoughts fell to Lisa. If she had not stepped up, would someone else have done so? Perhaps. But it was her. She was the one who went toward the unthinkable instead of turning away. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了去年8月，作者一家在Diana's Baths度假时孩子遇险被救的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“后来，Lisa 告诉我她是一名护士。”可知，第一段可描写当作者对丈夫把孩子救上岸之后Lisa 的做法。 ②由第二段首句内容“救援队终于来了。”可知，第二段可描写作者的儿子被送进医院救治，得知儿子没事以后，作者就在想帮助过他们的人Lisa是怎样做到这么勇敢的。 2.续写线索：Wyatt 被救上岸——Lisa帮忙救助 ——送进医院治疗——回想起Lisa——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.站出来：step up/come forward②.转身离去：turn away/turn around to leave 情绪类 可怕： terrible /horrible 【点睛】[高分句型1]. If she had not stepped up, would someone else have done so?（运用了if引导的虚拟语气） [高分句型2]. Wyatt had three broken bones and a wound in lung-injuries that sound terrible but recover on their own.（运用了that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a wound in lung-injuries ） 1-5CACBA 6-10ABBBA 11-15BCABC 16-20CABCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
