But sometimes it’s rewarding to go somewhere smaller — the markets that include craftsmen, food and drink vendors (小贩) and a charming atmosphere. Chatsworth’s Christmas market, near Bakewell, Derbyshire The Chatsworth Estate becomes extra atmospheric in winter, with its sweeping fields framing a frosty stream, sheep wandering about and the grand home. It has more than 100 stalls where shoppers can browse locally made vegan fragrances, festive decorations, Indian-print pajamas and handmade Wirksworth pottery. Logie Steading mini market, near Forres, Moray This market is a shopping heaven with acres of Highland-beauty all around. Stalls feature Scottish small businesses, with more than 50 vendors selling jewellery, leather goods, homeware made from recycled whisky bottles and homemade goodies. Equally charming are the farm shop, bookshop and lovely river walks. Alnwick Castle Christmas Fair, Northumberland There’s real festive magic to be found at the castle used as the location for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films, Shoppers will wander past a number of filming spots from the movies, including the courtyards and outer bailey — where Quidditch games were shot — before buying goods from small British brands. Portmeirion Food and Craft Fair, Gwynedd Portmeirion was built by a Welsh architect who brought his vision for an “ideal village” to life. About 120 vendors sell fashionable handprinted scarves, Welsh whisky, handcrafted lamps. Cookery demonstrations and live music add to the festival feel. While you’ re in the area, you might board a festive steam train into the woods of Snowdonia National Park. 1. What do the first two markets have in common? A. They own farm shops. B. They sell local handicrafts. C. They offer Highland beauty. D. They advocate recycling artworks. 2. Which market appeals to movie fans? A. Chatsworth’s Christmas market. B.

But are your fruits and vegetables really clean enough to eat? Now14-year-old Sirish Subash from Georgia has won the 2024 3M Young Screentest Challenge for inventing an AI-based handheld pesticide detector that is very accurate in detecting pesticide residue. Now in its 17th year, the competition supports middle school students to think creatively and apply STEM principles to discover real world-solutions. When the finalists are chosen, they are paired with a 3M scientist who mentors them over the summer to help take their ideas from just concepts to models. Sirish’s journey to winning the award came from watching his mother washing vegetables and fruits and cautioning him always do so. He wondered whether washing actually made a difference. Since pesticide residues are linked to illnesses like cancer and Alzheimers’s, it’s very important to know if the fruits and vegetables are safe. That’s how PestiSCAND is designed. The device works by shining light on the surface of the produce and measuring the. wavelengths that bounce back. PestiSCAND uses a sensor and AI-based processor to achieve an accuracy of over 85 percent. Sirish tested the device on more than12,000 food samples including strawberries, apples, and tomatoes. Sirish aims on making this technology widely accessible so that consumers will be able to make safe food choices. But he still believes you should wash your produce anyway. He plans to use the $25,000 prize from the competition to help fund his educational goal of attending. MIT. “This year’s Young Scientist Challenge finalists have demonstrated an incredible ability to develop creative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges,” Torie Clarke, EVP and chief public affairs officer at 3M, said in the press release. “I am beyond impressed and inspired by their intelligence and their scientific minds.” 4. What is the purpose of the competition? A. To select talents. B. To tackle problems. C. To promote STEM courses. D. To advance AI technology. 5. What inspired Sirish to make the invention? A. A household routine. B. A talk with his mother. C. An outbreak of a disease. D. An ambition to be an inventor. 6. What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. The design process. B. The wide application. C. The working principle. D. The theoretical foundation. 7. What is Torie Clarke’s attitude towards the inventors? A. Indifferent. B. Tolerant. C. Dismissive. D. Favorable. C Chinese scientists discovered a rare lunar crystal found on the near side of the moon, giving scientists hope of providing limitless power for Earth. The lunar crystal contains, a key ingredient for the nuclear fusion (核聚变) process, a form of power generation that uses the same forces that fuel the Sun and other stars in the galaxy. One of the primary ingredients found in this crystal is helium-3, which may provide a stable fuel source for nuclear fusion reactors. The element is incredibly rare on Earth, but it seems to be fairly prevalent on the moon. China’s next moon mission is expected to be Chang’e 6 in 2024, which will attempt to collect the first samples from the far side of the moon, which never faces the Earth. For decades, scientists have been interested in helium-3 and its potential source of fuel for nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion reactions occur naturally, when two light atoms combine into a heavier one, under extent pressure and heat. They take place inside stars, but humans have yet to create a fusion reactor with enough energy to start the process. Helium-3 produces significantly less radiation and nuclear waste than other elements. The current nuclear fission (核裂变) process, which is used in nuclear power plants, releases not only energy but radioactivity, and spent nuclear fuel must be reprocessed into waste. It has raised serious safety concerns, and scientists are searching for a way to create nuclear power from· nuclear fusion. rather than fission. During the fusion process, radioactive waste is not produced, potentially making a safer and more efficient fuel source. Around 25 tons of helium-3, equal to a fully loaded Space Shuttle cargo bay, could power the US for a year. According to estimates. this means that helium-3 has a potential economical value of $3billion a ton. Multiple private companies and countries with space agencies have signaled their intentions to mine the moon for helium-3, and this latest discovery could kickstart the race. 8 Why is the new discovery important? A. It contains a vital element. B. It processes nuclear waste. C. It casts light on the galaxy. D. It totally solves energy crisis. 9. What does the underlined word “prevalent’ in paragraph 2 mean? A. Active. B. Common. C. Precious. D. Significant. 10. How does the author organize paragraph 3? A. By giving opinions. B. By giving examples. C. By making a comparison. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 11. What is the prospect of helium-3? A. It has potential risks. B. It has a promising future. C. It will be mined illegally. D. It will be stored permanently. D Staring at the bookcases in my study packed with so many great books that had remained unread, I heard a loud voice in my head — “Shame on you! How can you leave these masterpieces unread?” The first book I picked up was Montaigne’s Essays. To my surprise I discovered in the margins (页边空白) what clearly was my own faded hand-writing. So I was actually reading it again, but what I was rereading seemed entirely new. I also, found sentences underlined. Only this time I wondered: Why did I underline this sentence? It’s the next one that is important! Clearly, my way of reading the text had shifted, and I myself had changed over the years. This raised the larger question of rereading. It comes in many forms. There’s voluntary rereading, the result of a willful decision to revisit, a book one has admired, or a book that has left one with some unanswered questions. This kind of planned revisit could also be for confirming certain details in the text, or for checking on the moves of a given character. A devoted teacher might also wish to refresh his closeness to a work, and thus avoid teaching through the same old written notes with soporific (让人瞌睡的) effects. Contrarily, there’s involuntary rereading. The original reading was either forgotten or so totally absorbed that the new chance encounter with the text produced surprise and astonishment. My reaction to the renewed reading no longer corresponded to the original experience, and I was no longer sure that I recognized myself as the same reader. Then there are what one might call subconscious (潜意识的) rereadings, those that occur without the specific act of reading, much as the memory of a tune can keep coming back to the mind without its actually being heard again. This form of remembered contact with a book can accompany us during a lifetime and continue to strengthen and shape us. Much in the same manner, we may over the years recite to ourselves poems learnt by heart long ago, which have become part of our self-recognition. All of these ways of reading are valuable. Renewed contact with a novel or a poem can activate the search for a better knowledge of the self. The new reading, a form of revision, uncovers the change in us. The newness is not in the text. It is we who have evolved. In the process of rereading, our outlook has also been significantly changed. Rereading makes it possible for, us to see the world around us, ourselves included, in a new light. 12. What did the author find when reading Montaigne’s Essays? A. He was familiar with it. B. He had made notes in it C. It was a brand-new copy. D. It was his favorite work. 13. What could be a purpose of voluntary rereading? A. To improve the quality of teaching. B. To learn from admirable characters. C. To collect details for writing novels. D. To help making important decisions. 14. How does subconscious rereading affect us? A. We read books consciously. B. We enhance reading skills. C. We strengthen connection with books. D. We change preferences for books. 15. What could be the best title for the text? A. Rereading: Pursuit of Truth B. Rereading: Voluntary or Involuntary? C. Transformative Power of Rereading D. Accessing Masterpieces through Rereading 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 We all want to be productive.

Do creative work at fuzzy (模糊的) times. We’ve all been advised at some point to do our most important creative work when we’re sharpest. If that works for you, then keep doing it! ___20___ Doing creative work when your mind is a bit fuzzier allows your brain to wander and make new and interesting connections.

In my freshman class, I never saw a single person I knew from middle school. At home I was just as lonely. My older brother was a senior, consumed with future decisions about college or military life. My little brother didn’t want anything to do with me “a girl.” My older sister was outgoing and never without her friends. They all fit in, I thought. Why can’t I? Mom was there waiting for me. “Karole, your bedroom’s a disaster. Why can’t you keep it clean?” The last thing I needed was criticism from my mother. Clean your room. Finish your dinner. Clean the dishes, What ha d happened to the mother who used to snuggle with me on the couch, reading to me, loving me with complete acceptance? I didn’t bother trying to explain my misery. It was easier to sit with my tight-lipped moodiness, holed up in my bedroom. I sat down at my desk and pulled out my math textbook. I turned to a fresh page in my notebook and started working out the first problem. Almost immediately, I saw I’d made a mistake. I tore the paper out of my notebook, balled it up in my fist and threw it at the wastepaper basket. By the time I finished my homework, the floor was littered with crumpled (起皱的) paper. Every time I looked at those crumpled balls, I reminded myself what a failure I was. But my unhappiness stayed hidden away, just like those mistakes. One day, I came home to an empty house. It was a relief not to be met with Mom’s latest complaint. I went up to my bedroom as usual. When I opened the door, I froze. It was neat as a pin. Mom had obviously decided to clean it herself. All the crumpled papers had disappeared. Except one single sheet. I picked up the sheet and turned it over. I recognized Mom’s perfect handwriting at once: “Dear Karole, I have noticed your unhappiness these days and I am sorry for being so critical of you lately. I will always love you and side with you when you need my support. I expect you to be the same, sweet self. Love, Mom.” 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 sat down at my desk and read the note again. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When she got home, I let down my guard and talked to her. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024年12月山东师大附中高三阶段性检测试题 英 语 本试卷分为第Ⅰ卷(选择题) 和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题) 两部分，共150分，考试用时120分钟。 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，再选涂其它答案标号。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Ⅰ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纸上。 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.

But are your fruits and vegetables really clean enough to eat? Now14-year-old Sirish Subash from Georgia has won the 2024 3M Young Screentest Challenge for inventing an AI-based handheld pesticide detector that is very accurate in detecting pesticide residue. Now in its 17th year, the competition supports middle school students to think creatively and apply STEM principles to discover real world-solutions. When the finalists are chosen, they are paired with a 3M scientist who mentors them over the summer to help take their ideas from just concepts to models. Sirish’s journey to winning the award came from watching his mother washing vegetables and fruits and cautioning him always do so. He wondered whether washing actually made a difference. Since pesticide residues are linked to illnesses like cancer and Alzheimers’s, it’s very important to know if the fruits and vegetables are safe. That’s how PestiSCAND is designed. The device works by shining light on the surface of the produce and measuring the. wavelengths that bounce back. PestiSCAND uses a sensor and AI-based processor to achieve an accuracy of over 85 percent. Sirish tested the device on more than12,000 food samples including strawberries, apples, and tomatoes. Sirish aims on making this technology widely accessible so that consumers will be able to make safe food choices. But he still believes you should wash your produce anyway. He plans to use the $25,000 prize from the competition to help fund his educational goal of attending.

The lunar crystal contains, a key ingredient for the nuclear fusion (核聚变) process, a form of power generation that uses the same forces that fuel the Sun and other stars in the galaxy. One of the primary ingredients found in this crystal is helium-3, which may provide a stable fuel source for nuclear fusion reactors. The element is incredibly rare on Earth, but it seems to be fairly prevalent on the moon. China’s next moon mission is expected to be Chang’e 6 in 2024, which will attempt to collect the first samples from the far side of the moon, which never faces the Earth. For decades, scientists have been interested in helium-3 and its potential source of fuel for nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion reactions occur naturally, when two light atoms combine into a heavier one, under extent pressure and heat. They take place inside stars, but humans have yet to create a fusion reactor with enough energy to start the process. Helium-3 produces significantly less radiation and nuclear waste than other elements. The current nuclear fission (核裂变) process, which is used in nuclear power plants, releases not only energy but radioactivity, and spent nuclear fuel must be reprocessed into waste. It has raised serious safety concerns, and scientists are searching for a way to create nuclear power from· nuclear fusion. rather than fission. During the fusion process, radioactive waste is not produced, potentially making a safer and more efficient fuel source. Around 25 tons of helium-3, equal to a fully loaded Space Shuttle cargo bay, could power the US for a year. According to estimates. this means that helium-3 has a potential economical value of $3billion a ton. Multiple private companies and countries with space agencies have signaled their intentions to mine the moon for helium-3, and this latest discovery could kickstart the race. 8. Why is the new discovery important? A. It contains a vital element. B. It processes nuclear waste. C. It casts light on the galaxy. D. It totally solves energy crisis. 9. What does the underlined word “prevalent’ in paragraph 2 mean? A. Active. B. Common. C. Precious. D. Significant. 10. How does the author organize paragraph 3? A. By giving opinions. B. By giving examples. C. By making a comparison. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 11. What is the prospect of helium-3? A. It has potential risks. B. It has a promising future. C. It will be mined illegally. D. It will be stored permanently. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国科学家在月球近侧发现了一种罕见的月球晶体，这给科学家们带来了为地球提供无限能源的希望。月球晶体含有核聚变过程的关键成分，这是一种发电方式，使用与太阳和银河系中其他恒星相同的能量。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“One of the primary ingredients found in this crystal is helium-3, which may provide a stable fuel source for nuclear fusion reactors. (在这种晶体中发现的主要成分之一是氦-3，它可能为核聚变反应堆提供稳定的燃料来源。)”可推知，这一发现意义重大，因为它含有氦-3，这是核聚变的关键成分，可以提供稳定的燃料来源。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“One of the primary ingredients found in this crystal is helium-3, which may provide a stable fuel source for nuclear fusion reactors. The element is incredibly rare on Earth…(在这种晶体中发现的主要成分之一是氦-3，它可能为核聚变反应堆提供稳定的燃料来源。这种元素在地球上非常罕见，但……)”由此可知，此处为在月球上似乎相当普遍。故可猜测划线单词prevalent为“普遍的，常见的”意思，和选项B项Common“常见的”意思一致。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“For decades, scientists have been interested in helium-3 and its potential source of fuel for nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion reactions occur naturally, when two light atoms combine into a heavier one, under extent pressure and heat. They take place inside stars, but humans have yet to create a fusion reactor with enough energy to start the process.(几十年来，科学家们一直对氦-3及其潜在的核聚变燃料来源感兴趣。当两个轻原子在一定程度的压力和热量作用下结合成一个较重的原子时，核聚变反应是自然发生的。它们发生在恒星内部，但人类还没有制造出一个有足够能量的聚变反应堆来启动这一过程。)”可推知，该段讨论了恒星中核聚变反应的自然发生，并将其与人类在创建一个成功的核聚变反应堆时所面临的挑战进行了对比，强调了原因（自然过程）和结果（人类复制的困难）。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Around 25 tons of helium-3, equal to a fully loaded Space Shuttle cargo bay, could power the US for a year. According to estimates. this means that helium-3 has a potential economical value of $3billion a ton. Multiple private companies and countries with space agencies have signaled their intentions to mine the moon for helium-3, and this latest discovery could kickstart the race.(大约25吨氦-3，相当于一个满载的航天飞机货舱，可以为美国提供一年的电力。据估计。这意味着氦-3的潜在经济价值为每吨30亿美元。多家私营公司和拥有太空机构的国家已经表示，他们有意在月球上开采氦-3，而这一最新发现可能会开启这场竞赛。)”可推知，氦-3在提供一种更安全、更有效的能源方面具有巨大的潜力，因此它在核聚变中的应用前景广阔。故选B项。 D Staring at the bookcases in my study, packed with so many great books that had remained unread, I heard a loud voice in my head — “Shame on you! How can you leave these masterpieces unread?” The first book I picked up was Montaigne’s Essays. To my surprise I discovered in the margins (页边空白) what clearly was my own faded hand-writing. So I was actually reading it again, but what I was rereading seemed entirely new. I also, found sentences underlined. Only this time I wondered: Why did I underline this sentence? It’s the next one that is important! Clearly, my way of reading the text had shifted, and I myself had changed over the years. This raised the larger question of rereading. It comes in many forms. There’s voluntary rereading, the result of a willful decision to revisit, a book one has admired, or a book that has left one with some unanswered questions. This kind of planned revisit could also be for confirming certain details in the text, or for checking on the moves of a given character. A devoted teacher might also wish to refresh his closeness to a work, and thus avoid teaching through the same old written notes with soporific (让人瞌睡的) effects. Contrarily, there’s involuntary rereading. The original reading was either forgotten or so totally absorbed that the new chance encounter with the text produced surprise and astonishment. My reaction to the renewed reading no longer corresponded to the original experience, and I was no longer sure that I recognized myself as the same reader. Then there are what one might call subconscious (潜意识的) rereadings, those that occur without the specific act of reading, much as the memory of a tune can keep coming back to the mind without its actually being heard again. This form of remembered contact with a book can accompany us during a lifetime and continue to strengthen and shape us. Much in the same manner, we may over the years recite to ourselves poems learnt by heart long ago, which have become part of our self-recognition. All of these ways of reading are valuable. Renewed contact with a novel or a poem can activate the search for a better knowledge of the self. The new reading, a form of revision, uncovers the change in us. The newness is not in the text. It is we who have evolved. In the process of rereading, our outlook has also been significantly changed. Rereading makes it possible for, us to see the world around us, ourselves included, in a new light. 12. What did the author find when reading Montaigne’s Essays? A. He was familiar with it. B. He had made notes in it C. It was a brand-new copy. D. It was his favorite work. 13. What could be a purpose of voluntary rereading? A. To improve the quality of teaching. B. To learn from admirable characters. C. To collect details for writing novels. D. To help making important decisions. 14. How does subconscious rereading affect us? A. We read books consciously. B. We enhance reading skills. C. We strengthen connection with books. D. We change preferences for books. 15. What could be the best title for the text? A. Rereading: Pursuit of Truth B. Rereading: Voluntary or Involuntary? C. Transformative Power of Rereading D. Accessing Masterpieces through Rereading 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自己对重新阅读的感悟和想法，认为重新阅读能更好地了解自我，能让我们以新的眼光来看待周围的世界，包括自己。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The first book I picked up was Montaigne’s Essays. To my surprise I discovered in the margins (页边空白) what clearly was my own faded hand-writing.(我拿起的第一本书是蒙田的《随笔》。令我吃惊的是，我在页边空白处发现了我字迹模糊的字迹)”可知，作者惊讶地发现书的空白处是自己之前的笔记。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“A devoted teacher might also wish to refresh his closeness to a work, and thus avoid teaching through the same old written notes with soporific (让人瞌睡的) effects.(一位敬业的教师可能也希望重新建立与工作的亲密关系，因此避免通过具有催眠效果的相同的旧笔记来进行教学)”可知，教师通过主动再读更新内容，提高教学质量是主动再读的目的之一。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Then there are what one might call subconscious (潜意识的) rereadings, those that occur without the specific act of reading, much as the memory of a tune can keep coming back to the mind without its actually being heard again. This form of remembered contact with a book can accompany us during a lifetime and continue to strengthen and shape us. Much in the same manner, we may over the years recite to ourselves poems learnt by heart long ago, which have become part of our self-recognition.(还有一种我们可以称之为“潜意识重读”的现象，这种现象发生在没有具体的阅读行为的情况下，就像一首曲子的记忆可以不断地回到脑海中，而实际上却没有再听到它一样。这种与书的记忆接触可以陪伴我们一生，并继续增强和塑造我们。同样地，我们也可以多年来背诵很久以前熟记的诗歌，这些诗歌已经成为我们自我认知的一部分)”可知，潜意识重读加强与书籍的联系。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Rereading makes it possible for, us to see the world around us, ourselves included, in a new light.(重读使我们有可能以一种新的眼光看待我们周围的世界，包括我们自己)”和后文对重新阅读的介绍可知，文章主要论述了重新阅读的重要意义，即再读具有提升读者对作品、自我及世界认知的力量，故C项 “重新阅读的变革力量)” 符合文章标题。故选C。 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 We all want to be productive.

But sometimes, being productive is more about substance than volume. These tips will help you enhance your productivity. Quit multitasking. We live in an era of distraction. We’re overscheduled, over-alerted by apps, and overwhelmed with to-do’s. And the common wisdom is to stop multitasking. Multi-tasking is damaging to our attention and focus. It makes us less productive— the opposite of what we' re after. ___17___ Ask “what if” questions. Sometimes the very thing that slows us down is everything. we know. As we grow in our careers, we learn the rules of the road. When we understand our limits and restrictions, we know how to avoid hitting roadblocks.___18___ But they also, shockingly, limit us. Look again at your old repeated methods and ask some “what if” questions, which may expand our thinking and lead to more options and possibilities. ___19___ Sometimes what we need is a forcing mechanism to push us down a clear path. That’s where a forced deadline can be helpful. When you don’t have time to second-guess yourself, and you’re forced to go with what your brain is handing you that day, you'll wind up with something you would have never created if given more time. Do creative work at fuzzy (模糊的) times. We’ve all been advised at some point to do our most important creative work when we’re sharpest. If that works for you, then keep doing it! ___20___ Doing creative work when your mind is a bit fuzzier allows your brain to wander and make new and interesting connections. This may help explain why some of us have our most creatively inspired moments in the shower: A. Force tight deadlines. B. These restrictions may guide us. C. The struggle isn't getting more things done. D. We'd better focus on one thing at a time and do it well. E. We tend to think of productivity as a measure of quantity. F.

In my freshman class, I never saw a single person I knew from middle school. At home I was just as lonely. My older brother was a senior, consumed with future decisions about college or military life. My little brother didn’t want anything to do with me “a girl.” My older sister was outgoing and never without her friends. They all fit in, I thought. Why can’t I? Mom was there waiting for me. “Karole, your bedroom’s a disaster. Why can’t you keep it clean?” The last thing I needed was criticism from my mother. Clean your room. Finish your dinner. Clean the dishes, What ha d happened to the mother who used to snuggle with me on the couch, reading to me, loving me with complete acceptance? I didn’t bother trying to explain my misery. It was easier to sit with my tight-lipped moodiness, holed up in my bedroom. I sat down at my desk and pulled out my math textbook. I turned to a fresh page in my notebook and started working out the first problem. Almost immediately, I saw I’d made a mistake. I tore the paper out of my notebook, balled it up in my fist and threw it at the wastepaper basket. By the time I finished my homework, the floor was littered with crumpled (起皱的) paper. Every time I looked at those crumpled balls, I reminded myself what a failure I was. But my unhappiness stayed hidden away, just like those mistakes. One day, I came home to an empty house. It was a relief not to be met with Mom’s latest complaint. I went up to my bedroom as usual. When I opened the door, I froze. It was neat as a pin. Mom had obviously decided to clean it herself. All the crumpled papers had disappeared. Except one single sheet. I picked up the sheet and turned it over. I recognized Mom’s perfect handwriting at once: “Dear Karole, I have noticed your unhappiness these days and I am sorry for being so critical of you lately. I will always love you and side with you when you need my support. I expect you to be the same, sweet self. Love, Mom.” 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 sat down at my desk and read the note again. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When she got home, I let down my guard and talked to her. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I sat down at my desk and read the note again. My heart began to swell with emotions I had buried for weeks. It was as if the weight of my loneliness lifted slightly, just knowing that my mom understood. I felt a rush of gratitude for her gentle reminder that I was still loved despite my struggles. I realized that my messy room wasn’t just a reflection of my academic failures; it mirrored my feelings of isolation. With newfound determination, I picked up a pen and wrote a response. I told her about my feelings, how I missed our time together, and how I was struggling to fit in. I promised to try harder, not just with my room but with opening up to her. When she got home, I let down my guard and talked to her. As I shared my struggles, I could see her face soften with understanding. We sat together on my bed, and she listened intently, nodding as I recounted my feelings of loneliness. Mom shared her own experiences from high school, revealing that she too had felt out of place at times. Her stories made me feel less alone, and I began to see her not just as a parent, but as someone who had once faced similar challenges. By the end of our conversation, I felt a renewed sense of connection with her—a bond strengthened by honesty and love. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因为在新学校的不适应导致心情低落，成绩也下降，加上妈妈批评她不打扫房间，作者更是难受，于是她故意把房间弄得更乱，并且用冷漠来伪装自己。直到一天回家看到自己整洁干净的房间，一切有了变化。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我坐在书桌前，又读了一遍纸条。”可知，第一段可描写作者感受到了来自母亲的理解和关心以及决定给母亲回信。 ②由第二段首句内容“她回家后，我放下防备，跟她说话。”可知，第二段可描写作者和母亲敞开心扉的交流以及作者的感受。 2.续写线索：又读了一遍纸条——感受到了母亲的理解——决定给母亲回信——回家和母亲说话——母亲的分享——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.意识到：realized /was aware of ②.反映：mirrored /reflected ③.透露：revealing / disclosing 情绪类 ①.感激：gratitude / appreciation ②.决心：determination / resolution 【点睛】[高分句型1].
