Unsure what to do, the bright-blue bird looked out quickly from where he was sheltered, perhaps hoping someone might see his long feathers and offer help. Eventually, a Hewlett Harbor Village Hall employee noticed the bird’s impressive figure wandering near the building. The employee knew the bird was in danger, especially considering the severe storm expected later that day, so they called local animal rescuer Karenlynn Stracher for help. Despite their large size, peacocks are able to fly. Stracher asked the Village Hall employee if anyone was willing to help, as she prefers to have backup when catching a flighted bird. Soon, two employees were standing at the ready, prepared to do whatever it took to get the bird to safety. To everyone’s surprise, Stracher didn’t end up needing much aid. After asking one of the employees to stand guard near an opening in the bushes, she caught the peacock on her first attempt. The peacock, an exotic (外来) bird, couldn’t be released into the wild, as the North American landscape is not fitting for his needs. Luckily, Stracher found a local bird expert who happened to have a peacock who needed a companion. Soon, the peacock departed for his new home. Rescuers are still unsure where this peacock came from. Whatever his story, it’s clear that his future is looking bright. Safe and sound, this peacock can focus on his new family and his new peacock friend. “After a vet check and a rest period, they have been introduced,” Stracher said. “It appears to be love!” 4. What did the peacock take a quick look out of the shelter for? A. To make clear of his situation. B. To draw attention and get help. C. To protect himself from the hurt. D. To show off his beautiful feathers. 5. Which word can describe the Village Hall employee finding the peacock? A. Creative. B. Careless. C. Brave. D. Kind. 6. What can be inferred from the last three paragraphs? A. The peacock of the local bird expert was a female one. B. Stracher adopted the peacock rescued near the building. C. Rescuers eventually knew where the peacock came from. D. The rescued peacock was treated carefully and cured at last. 7. Where can we probably read the passage? A. In a sports magazine. B. In a science fiction. C. In a newspaper. D. In a travel guide. C Can you think of someone who is an excellent communicator? He must have good skills of speaking confidently in various situations, including presentations, group discussions and activities. Also, he should be good at listening to others, understanding group dynamics, and promoting shared decision-making. Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive. The solution lies in teaching children how to cooperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in this process through their interaction with students. To ensure effective group work, teachers must first raise students’ awareness of the purpose and value of group activities. More importantly, they need to teach students how to engage in reasoned discussions, known as Exploratory Talk. This involves considering everyone’s viewpoints, justifying opinions with reasons, and making collective decisions. In Exploratory Talk, participants engage critically but constructively with each other’s ideas, invite contributions, and seek further explanations. Successful cooperation requires a reasoned discussion, which can be facilitated by establishing a set of ‘Ground Rules’ for Exploratory Talk. These rules guide behaviors such as asking for information, seeking and providing reasons, and evaluating proposals. Ground Rules help children work towards joint conclusions, respect opinions, and develop their ideas. For instance, children learn to ask, “What do you think? Why?” and listen attentively to each other’s responses, reaching reasoned conclusions. Exploratory Talk enhances group activities as a powerful learning tool. Certain activities, like Talking Points, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussions. Talking Points are inspiring statements designed to encourage children to share their knowledge and uncertainties on a specific topic. Research indicates that Talking Points bring about more imaginative and extensive responses than traditional questions. They help children focus on the topic and compare their viewpoints with others’. As they discuss, children realize that their ideas can develop with new evidence and that classmates are valuable resources for new thinking. With proper guidance, the students will soon begin to see their ideas flowing. And gradually they will learn to participate fully not only in education but also in life as well. 8. What may help solve the group work paradox? A. Active interaction among teachers. B. Group learning among students. C. Teachers’ effective guidance. D. Students’ deep engagement. 9. Why should Ground Rules be set for the students? A. To popularize group activities. B. To build up their individuality. C. To stimulate more proposals. D. To encourage reasoning in talks. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Idea exchanges between the teachers deserve top priority. B. Well-designed brainstorming matters in group activities. C. Traditional questions should be avoided in classes. D. Students should be challenged with uncertainties. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Whether Teachers Should Use Exploratory Talk or Not. B. Why Putting Children in Groups Doesn’t Always Work. C. What Effects a Good Communicator Has on Discussion. D. Where Students’ Participation in Activities Should Go. D Previously, scientists believed that pure sulfur only existed in the Earth’s hot environments, but Curiosity’s discovery challenges this idea. NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity made groundbreaking discoveries in May, casting light on the mysterious history of Mars. The rover found pure sulfur crystals (硫晶体) in a cracked rock, marking a significant milestone in NASA’s exploration. Mars was thought to be a cold, dry, and inactive world, but the presence of sulfur suggests a much more dynamic past. Mars may have been warmer, with active volcanoes and possibly even liquid water on its surface. This dynamic history could have provided the conditions necessary for life. The sulfur crystals indicate volcanic activity and the presence of water, which is essential for life. The interaction between water and sulfur could have created habitats similar to those on the Earth where microbial (微生物的) life thrives. These revelations reshape our understanding of Mars and its potential to have supported life. The discovery of sulfur has profound implications for Mars’s potential habitability. Sulfur is a critical element for many biological processes on the Earth, and its presence on Mars suggests that the planet had the necessary ingredients for life. Sulfur-rich environments created by volcanic and hydrothermal activity could have provided energy sources for microbial life. Furthermore, the presence of sulfur indicates that Mars had liquid water at some point in its history. Water is essential for life, and its interaction with sulfur creates environments conducive to microbial growth. This discovery opens new avenues for the search for life on Mars, encouraging scientists to look for other signs of past or present life in sulfur-rich regions. In conclusion, Curiosity’s discovery of pure sulfur crystals on Mars represents a significant leap forward in our understanding of the Red Planet. It suggests that Mars may have had the necessary conditions to support microbial life, challenging previous perceptions and opening new avenues for research. The presence of sulfur indicates a dynamic past with volcanic activity and liquid water, reshaping our understanding of Mars’s history and its potential habitability. As we continue to explore Mars, each new discovery brings us closer to answering the fundamental question of whether life ever existed on the Red Planet. 12. What was the groundbreaking discovery made by NASA’s Curiosity rover in May? A. The presence of life on Mars. B. Evidence of past volcanic activity on Mars. C. Signs of current microbial life on Mars. D. Pure sulfur crystals in a cracked rock on Mars. 13. What can be known from the discovery of pure sulfur crystals on Mars? A. Mars is currently home to microbial life. B. Mars may have had the necessary conditions to support microbial life. C. Mars has always been a cold and inactive planet. D. Sulfur-rich environments on the Earth are similar to those on Mars. 14. What does the underlined word “conducive” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Helpful. B. Limited. C. Mild. D. Damaging. 15. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To describe the history of Mars exploration. B. To argue that Mars is not a suitable place for life. C. To discuss the implications of the discovery of pure sulfur crystals on Mars. D. To promote future exploration of Mars. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Power of Reading in High School In high school, reading is not just about passing exams or fulfilling assignments.

She resolved that for the future, both in great things and small, she would remember and follow the Golden Rule. It was not long after this that an opportunity occurred, which tried Ryan’s principles. One Saturday afternoon, Ryan was walking back to her home in the small fishing village, stepping cautiously from rock to rock along the uneven dock (码头) when suddenly her left foot came down hard between the edges of two gray rocks. She tried to pull her foot out, but her shoe was stuck. She bent closer to the rock, and that’s when she saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone, the color of water, attached to a glittery gold chain. She looked around; nobody was near and her first reaction was joy at the unexpected prize. A few seconds later it was in her pocket. Two days later, Ryan went into town together with her parents and came across a sign on the window of the candy shop, reading LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Very special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924. Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster and a border made of orange exclamation points. “The necklace looked different from the one I picked up. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago,” said Ryan to herself, “it’s all mine.” At that moment she remembered the necklace into her box. She’d cleaned it out and made it her special spot for special things. But again a voice from herself whispered, “Could it be Chrissy’s? Was it her ‘very special’ necklace? To keep it? Or to call Chrissy?” 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。 This conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Hi” Ryan said, nervous. “Is this Chrissy?” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 蒲城县2024～2025学年度上学期高三年级第一次对抗赛 英语试题 注意事项： 1. 本试题共10页，满分150分，时间120分钟。 2. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名和准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3. 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。 4. 考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理；试题不回收。 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。听力部分结束前，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?

Unsure what to do, the bright-blue bird looked out quickly from where he was sheltered, perhaps hoping someone might see his long feathers and offer help. Eventually, a Hewlett Harbor Village Hall employee noticed the bird’s impressive figure wandering near the building. The employee knew the bird was in danger, especially considering the severe storm expected later that day, so they called local animal rescuer Karenlynn Stracher for help. Despite their large size, peacocks are able to fly. Stracher asked the Village Hall employee if anyone was willing to help, as she prefers to have backup when catching a flighted bird. Soon, two employees were standing at the ready, prepared to do whatever it took to get the bird to safety. To everyone’s surprise, Stracher didn’t end up needing much aid. After asking one of the employees to stand guard near an opening in the bushes, she caught the peacock on her first attempt. The peacock, an exotic (外来的) bird, couldn’t be released into the wild, as the North American landscape is not fitting for his needs. Luckily, Stracher found a local bird expert who happened to have a peacock who needed a companion. Soon, the peacock departed for his new home. Rescuers are still unsure where this peacock came from. Whatever his story, it’s clear that his future is looking bright. Safe and sound, this peacock can focus on his new family and his new peacock friend. “After a vet check and a rest period, they have been introduced,” Stracher said. “It appears to be love!” 4. What did the peacock take a quick look out of the shelter for? A. To make clear of his situation. B. To draw attention and get help. C. To protect himself from the hurt. D. To show off his beautiful feathers. 5. Which word can describe the Village Hall employee finding the peacock? A. Creative. B. Careless. C. Brave. D. Kind. 6. What can be inferred from the last three paragraphs? A. The peacock of the local bird expert was a female one. B. Stracher adopted the peacock rescued near the building. C. Rescuers eventually knew where the peacock came from. D. The rescued peacock was treated carefully and cured at last. 7. Where can we probably read the passage? A. In a sports magazine. B. In a science fiction. C. In a newspaper. D. In a travel guide. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了动物救援人员卡伦琳·斯特拉彻救助一只落单的孔雀的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Unsure what to do, the bright-blue bird looked out quickly from where he was sheltered, perhaps hoping someone might see his long feathers and offer help.(不知道该怎么办，这只亮蓝色的鸟迅速从它的庇护处向外看了看，也许是希望有人能看到它的长羽毛并提供帮助)”可知，孔雀向外看或许希望有人会发现它并提供帮助。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The employee knew the bird was in danger, especially considering the severe storm expected later that day, so they called local animal rescuer Karenlynn Stracher for help.(这名员工知道这只鸟有危险，尤其是考虑到当天晚些时候预计会有严重的风暴，所以他们打电话给当地的动物救援人员卡伦琳·斯特拉彻寻求帮助)”可知，这位员工知道孔雀处于危险中，打电话给当地动物援救人员寻求帮助，所以可推断这位员工是善良的。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“this peacock can focus on his new family and his new peacock friend.(这只孔雀可以专注于他的新家庭和他的新孔雀朋友)”中的 his可知，被救助的孔雀是雄性的。又根据最后一段中的“It appears to be love!(这似乎是爱情！)”可知，当地鸟类专家的孔雀是一只雌孔雀。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Cold and alone, a peacock recently found himself in an unlikely place — shivering (颤抖) under a bush in Hewlett Harbor, New York.(最近，一只又冷又孤单的孔雀发现自己身处一个意想不到的地方——在纽约休利特港的一棵灌木下瑟瑟发抖)”结合文章主要讲述了动物救援人员卡伦琳·斯特拉彻救助一只落单的孔雀的故事。可知，文章选自报纸。故选C。 C Can you think of someone who is an excellent communicator? He must have good skills of speaking confidently in various situations, including presentations, group discussions and activities. Also, he should be good at listening to others, understanding group dynamics, and promoting shared decision-making. Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive. The solution lies in teaching children how to cooperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in this process through their interaction with students. To ensure effective group work, teachers must first raise students’ awareness of the purpose and value of group activities. More importantly, they need to teach students how to engage in reasoned discussions, known as Exploratory Talk. This involves considering everyone’s viewpoints, justifying opinions with reasons, and making collective decisions. In Exploratory Talk, participants engage critically but constructively with each other’s ideas, invite contributions, and seek further explanations. Successful cooperation requires a reasoned discussion, which can be facilitated by establishing a set of ‘Ground Rules’ for Exploratory Talk. These rules guide behaviors such as asking for information, seeking and providing reasons, and evaluating proposals. Ground Rules help children work towards joint conclusions, respect opinions, and develop their ideas. For instance, children learn to ask, “What do you think? Why?” and listen attentively to each other’s responses, reaching reasoned conclusions. Exploratory Talk enhances group activities as a powerful learning tool. Certain activities, like Talking Points, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussions. Talking Points are inspiring statements designed to encourage children to share their knowledge and uncertainties on a specific topic. Research indicates that Talking Points bring about more imaginative and extensive responses than traditional questions. They help children focus on the topic and compare their viewpoints with others’. As they discuss, children realize that their ideas can develop with new evidence and that classmates are valuable resources for new thinking. With proper guidance, the students will soon begin to see their ideas flowing. And gradually they will learn to participate fully not only in education but also in life as well. 8. What may help solve the group work paradox? A. Active interaction among teachers. B. Group learning among students. C. Teachers’ effective guidance. D. Students’ deep engagement. 9. Why should Ground Rules be set for the students? A. To popularize group activities. B. To build up their individuality. C. To stimulate more proposals. D. To encourage reasoning in talks. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Idea exchanges between the teachers deserve top priority. B Well-designed brainstorming matters in group activities. C. Traditional questions should be avoided in classes. D. Students should be challenged with uncertainties. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Whether Teachers Should Use Exploratory Talk or Not. B. Why Putting Children in Groups Doesn’t Always Work. C. What Effects a Good Communicator Has on Discussion. D. Where Students’ Participation in Activities Should Go. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何通过教师的有效指导解决小组合作中存在的悖论，以及探索性谈话在小组活动中的重要作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive. The solution lies in teaching children how to cooperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in this process through their interaction with students.(对基于课堂的小组工作的研究表明了一个悖论：虽然合作学习可以非常有效，但仅仅将孩子分组往往证明是徒劳的。解决之道在于教会孩子如何有效地合作。教师在这个过程中通过与学生的互动发挥着至关重要的作用)”可知，解决小组工作悖论的方法在于教师的有效指导。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Successful cooperation requires a reasoned discussion, which can be facilitated by establishing a set of ‘Ground Rules’ for Exploratory Talk. These rules guide behaviors such as asking for information, seeking and providing reasons, and evaluating proposals.(成功的合作需要理性的讨论，这可以通过建立一套探索性谈话的‘基本规则’来促进。这些规则指导诸如询问信息、寻求和提供理由以及评估建议等行为)”可知，基本规则可以指导学生询问信息、寻求和提供理由以及评估提案等，可以鼓励他们在谈话中进行理性的讨论，即在讨论中进行推理。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Exploratory Talk enhances group activities as a powerful learning tool. Certain activities, like Talking Points, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussions. Talking Points are inspiring statements designed to encourage children to share their knowledge and uncertainties on a specific topic. Research indicates that Talking Points bring about more imaginative and extensive responses than traditional questions. They help children focus on the topic and compare their viewpoints with others’. As they discuss, children realize that their ideas can develop with new evidence and that classmates are valuable resources for new thinking.(作为一种强大的学习工具，探索性谈话加强了小组活动。某些活动，如“谈话要点”，在激发此类讨论方面特别有效。“谈话要点”是鼓舞人心的陈述，旨在鼓励孩子们分享他们对特定主题的知识和不确定之处。研究表明，“谈话要点”比传统问题能带来更具想象力和更广泛的回应。它们帮助孩子们专注于话题，并将他们的观点与他人的观点进行比较。在他们讨论的过程中，孩子们意识到他们的想法可以随着新的证据而发展，并且同学们是新思维的宝贵资源)”可推知，像“谈话要点”之类精心设计的探索性谈话，即头脑风暴，可以加强了小组活动，在小组活动中很重要。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第二段中“Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive. The solution lies in teaching children how to cooperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in this process through their interaction with students.(对课堂小组作业的研究揭示了一个悖论，虽然合作学习可以非常有效，但仅仅将孩子们分组往往被证明是无效的。解决办法在于教孩子们如何有效地合作。在这一过程中，教师通过与学生的互动发挥着至关重要的作用)”可知，文章指出了在课堂中存在的一个悖论，即尽管小组合作理论上高效，但单纯把孩子们分组却常常没什么成效，随后围绕如何解决这一问题展开了论述，比如教师要提升学生对小组活动目的和价值的认识、教授探索性讨论以及建立相应规则等，核心内容是围绕解决“把孩子们分组却没效果”这一问题进行探讨的。由此推知，B项“Why Putting Children in Groups Doesn’t Always Work (为什么把孩子分组并不总是有效)”能够反映文章所探讨的核心现象及出发点，契合文章主题，是最佳标题。故选B项。 D Previously, scientists believed that pure sulfur only existed in the Earth’s hot environments, but Curiosity’s discovery challenges this idea. NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity made groundbreaking discoveries in May, casting light on the mysterious history of Mars. The rover found pure sulfur crystals (硫晶体) in a cracked rock, marking a significant milestone in NASA’s exploration. Mars was thought to be a cold, dry, and inactive world, but the presence of sulfur suggests a much more dynamic past. Mars may have been warmer, with active volcanoes and possibly even liquid water on its surface. This dynamic history could have provided the conditions necessary for life. The sulfur crystals indicate volcanic activity and the presence of water, which is essential for life. The interaction between water and sulfur could have created habitats similar to those on the Earth where microbial (微生物的) life thrives. These revelations reshape our understanding of Mars and its potential to have supported life. The discovery of sulfur has profound implications for Mars’s potential habitability. Sulfur is a critical element for many biological processes on the Earth, and its presence on Mars suggests that the planet had the necessary ingredients for life. Sulfur-rich environments created by volcanic and hydrothermal activity could have provided energy sources for microbial life. Furthermore, the presence of sulfur indicates that Mars had liquid water at some point in its history. Water is essential for life, and its interaction with sulfur creates environments conducive to microbial growth. This discovery opens new avenues for the search for life on Mars, encouraging scientists to look for other signs of past or present life in sulfur-rich regions. In conclusion, Curiosity’s discovery of pure sulfur crystals on Mars represents a significant leap forward in our understanding of the Red Planet. It suggests that Mars may have had the necessary conditions to support microbial life, challenging previous perceptions and opening new avenues for research. The presence of sulfur indicates a dynamic past with volcanic activity and liquid water, reshaping our understanding of Mars’s history and its potential habitability. As we continue to explore Mars, each new discovery brings us closer to answering the fundamental question of whether life ever existed on the Red Planet. 12. What was the groundbreaking discovery made by NASA’s Curiosity rover in May? A. The presence of life on Mars. B. Evidence of past volcanic activity on Mars. C. Signs of current microbial life on Mars. D. Pure sulfur crystals in a cracked rock on Mars. 13. What can be known from the discovery of pure sulfur crystals on Mars? A. Mars is currently home to microbial life. B. Mars may have had the necessary conditions to support microbial life. C. Mars has always been a cold and inactive planet. D. Sulfur-rich environments on the Earth are similar to those on Mars. 14. What does the underlined word “conducive” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Helpful. B. Limited. C. Mild. D. Damaging. 15. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To describe the history of Mars exploration. B. To argue that Mars is not a suitable place for life. C. To discuss the implications of the discovery of pure sulfur crystals on Mars. D. To promote future exploration of Mars. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15.

She resolved that for the future, both in great things and small, she would remember and follow the Golden Rule. It was not long after this that an opportunity occurred, which tried Ryan’s principles. One Saturday afternoon, Ryan was walking back to her home in the small fishing village, stepping cautiously from rock to rock along the uneven dock (码头) when suddenly her left foot came down hard between the edges of two gray rocks. She tried to pull her foot out, but her shoe was stuck. She bent closer to the rock, and that’s when she saw it: a shiny, square shaped stone, the color of water, attached to a glittery gold chain. She looked around; nobody was near and her first reaction was joy at the unexpected prize. A few seconds later it was in her pocket. Two days later, Ryan went into town together with her parents and came across a sign on the window of the candy shop, reading LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Very special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924. Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster and a border made of orange exclamation points. “The necklace looked different from the one I picked up. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago,” said Ryan to herself, “it’s all mine.” At that moment she remembered the necklace into her box. She’d cleaned it out and made it her special spot for special things. But again a voice from herself whispered, “Could it be Chrissy’s? Was it her ‘very special’ necklace? To keep it? Or to call Chrissy?” 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。 This conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Hi,” Ryan said, nervous. “Is this Chrissy?” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】This conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil. Ryan’s heart pounded as she weighed the pros and cons. She remembered her resolution to follow the Golden Rule, and she knew that keeping the necklace would violate it. She couldn’t bear the thought of causing someone else pain, especially when it was so easy to avoid. Her greed tempted her for a moment, but finally, her sense of morality overcame her selfish desires, and she made a decision to return the necklace. “Hi” Ryan said, nervous. “Is this Chrissy?” A voice on the other end of the phone sounded excited. “Yes, it’s me! Did you find my necklace?” Ryan explained that she had indeed found a necklace and asked if Chrissy could describe it. Chrissy’s description matched perfectly, and Ryan knew she had made the right choice. They arranged to meet at the candy shop the next day, and Ryan hung up the phone with a sense of relief and satisfaction. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Ryan捡到项链的经历为线索展开，讲述了Ryan一直遵循“己所不欲，勿施于人”的黄金法则，但在捡到项链后，面临着是否归还失主的道德抉择。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“善与恶在她心中冲突着。”可知，第一段可描写Ryan内心的挣扎与抉择，最终决定归还项链。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘喂，’Ryan紧张地说，‘是Chrissy吗?’”可知，第二段可描写Ryan与Chrissy的通话内容，确认项链归属，并约定归还事宜。 2.续写线索：内心挣扎——决定归还——拨打电话——确认归属——约定归还 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①权衡：weigh/balance ②违反：violate/break/go against ③忍受：bear/tolerate/endure ④描述：describe/depict 情绪类 ①激动的：excited/thrilled ②满意：satisfaction/contentment  【点睛】[高分句型1] Ryan’s heart pounded as she weighed the pros and cons.(运用了从属连词as引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] She couldn’t bear the thought of causing someone else pain, especially when it was so easy to avoid.(运用了从属连词when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型3] Chrissy’s description matched perfectly, and Ryan knew she had made the right choice.(运用省略连词that的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
