The state’s favorable weather and long growing season make it a favorite pastime for both locals and tourists. Bricker’s Strawberries It is a family-owned farm in Carlisle, PA, offering pre-picked and pick-your-own berries throughout the year. Prices range from $2/pound for pick-your-own berries to $4.25/quart for pre-picked berries. Opening hours may vary depending on the weather, so it’s best to check their website before heading out to the farm. Oak Grove Farms Oak Grove Farms in Mechanicsburg, PA, has been a family-owned farm since the 1960s. They offer a variety of fruits, and delicious baked goods, with strawberries being their specialty. Prices start at $15 for a 4-quart container. The farm store is open Monday to Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for visitors to make a purchase. Honey Bear Orchards Located in Lebanon, PA, it is a family-owned orchard providing fresh fruits to the community since 1980. With their fun and safe atmosphere, you can pick your quality fruit with your friends. U-pick strawberries cost $2/pound. They also offer pre-picked strawberries for a slightly higher cost. You can pay through cash or check only in their shop. Brecknock Orchard Brecknock Orchard in Mohnton, PA, is a family-friendly farm where you can pick strawberries and enjoy other activities on the farm.

B The idea of climbing Mt.Qomolangma disgusted me. The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Mt. Qomolangma, my answer was always the same: not interested. That was probably where my personal Mt. Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not for an old friend Thom Pollard and his obsession (迷恋) with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, he began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while he was attempting to be the first to climb Mt. Qomolangma. But Mallory’s partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924. Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than I’d ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search was in vain, but I began to reconsider Mt. Qomolangma. I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos — all united around a common goal. I went to Mt. Qomolangma to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Mt. Qomolangma. 4. Why did the author once hate climbing Mt. Qomolangma? A. Because the mountain was overcrowded. B. Because his original climbing goal changed. C. Because climbing it became a profit-driven industry. D. Because he had to brave the elements on the mountain. 5. What motivated the author to climb Mt. Qomolangma later? A. The influence of Thom Pollard. B. The results of the previous climbing. C. The development of advanced equipment. D. The spirit of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine. 6. What does the underlined phrase “tipped my hat” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Relieved my tiredness. B. Showed my respect. C. Expressed my gratitude. D. Proved my determination. 7. What message does the passage mainly convey? A. The search for missing adventurers holds great value. B Modern climbing lacks respect for the natural environment. C. Spirits of the climbers of Mt. Qomolangma are worth respect. D. Experienced climbers are qualified to conquer Mt. Qomolangma. C A casual walk along the Beijing Central Axis, connecting the Drum Tower and the impressive Forbidden City — this was Zhao’s first city-walking journey in the spring of last year. Since then, the 21-year-old student from Beijing Foreign Studies University has remained a city-walk fan, believing it to be the best way to “rediscover a city”. “I visited Beijing before the start of my college life here, and it was a typical package tour during which going to scenic spots and taking photos was a big thing. The crowded tourist attractions gave me the impression that Beijing was a noisy place,” Zhao said. With the increasing variety of travel choices, traditional group tours no longer satisfy people who are looking for a more personal and different travel experience and hoping to explore every part of the city in a more immersive (沉浸式的) way. Compared with tightly scheduled routes (路线) and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses on free, casual and spontaneous (自发的) experiences. The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one’s legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms. On the video-sharing app Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik-Tok, a recent video about citywalk routes in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has gained more than 171,000 likes, with 72,000 viewers of all ages adding the video to their favorites. According to a report from lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, in the first half of this year, searches about city-walks increased 30-fold from the previous year. “The route offers a glimpse (瞥见) into the culture and landscape in different historical stages, as well as its beautiful natural scenery,” it said. Following his experience in Beijing, Zhao has also explored Wuhan in Hubei province, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province and other cities through city-walking tours. “City-walking is all about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is actually the kind of slow-paced, low-carbon lifestyle that I relate to so much,” he said. 8. Why do Zhao call city-walking the best way to “rediscover a city”? A. The variety of travel choices is limited. B. Traditional group tour totally satisfies people’s need. C. It is a more enjoyable and personal way to explore the city. D. Common tour wastes much time in taking pictures. 9. What do we know about city-walk culture? A. It refers to a 30-minute walk on the video-sharing app Douyin. B. It encourages the experience of free urban life without transportation. C. It offers practical travel tips through social media platforms. D. It shows historical moments of life-sharing platform Xiaohongshu. 10. What can we learn in the last but one paragraph? A. City-walk has gained popularity on the Internet. B. City-walk is only loved by young people. C. City-walk recommends the shortest route from one city to another. D. City-walk has both advantages and disadvantages. 11. What is the best title of the passage? A. Walking Out from Home B. Culture of Walking Catching on in Cities C. A Popular Social Platform D. Going Free to Explore the World D Damian Stefaniuk and his colleagues at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a novel energy storage device—a supercapacitor— using three basic, inexpensive materials: water, cement, and a soot (煤灰), which can carry electricity. Supercapacitors are highly efficient at storing energy but differ from batteries in some important ways. They can charge much more quickly than a lithium (锂) battery and don’t experience the same level of performance decline over time. But supercapacitors also release the power they store rapidly, making them less useful in devices such as mobile phones, laptops or electric cars where a steady supply of energy is needed over an extended period of time. Yet according to Stefaniuk, these supercapacitors could make an important contribution to efforts to reduce carbon emissions and make the global economy more environmentally friendly. “If it can be scaled up, the technology can help solve an important issue— the storing of renewable energy,” he says. He and his fellow researchers at MIT envision several applications for their supercapacitors. One might be to create roads that store solar energy and then release it to recharge electric cars wirelessly as they drive along a road. The rapid release of energy from the supercapacitors would allow vehicles to get a rapid boost to their batteries. Another application would be using supercapacitors in the foundations or walls of houses, so that these parts of the house not only support the structure but also store energy. “But it’s still early stages. Right now, the supercapacitor made from building materials can only store just under 300 watt-hours per cubic meter, enough to power a 10-watt LED light for 30 hours. The power might seem low compared to regular batteries, but a foundation made from 30-40 cubic meters of this material could meet the daily energy needs of a house,” says Stefaniuk. “Since this material is used so widely around the world, it has the potential to be very competitive and useful for energy storage.” 12. What might be an advantage of supercapacitors? A. They require little care. B. They are lighter in design. C. They release power in a stable manner. D. They continue to work effectively over time. 13. How does the author highlight the application of supercapacitors? A. By providing examples. B. By giving instructions. C By making comparisons. D. By presenting cause and effect. 14. Which of the following can be inferred about the supercapacitor technology? A. It is still developing and has great potential. B. It will be limited to small-scale applications. C. It is efficient enough to help replace batteries. D. It will become widely used in everyday devices. 15. What is the purpose of this text? A. To present a difficult problem. B. To advocate a timely action. C. To introduce a possible solution. D. To explain a complex process. 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。 Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem.

Our librarian, Mr. Egan, is the school sponsor (主办者) for it. Traditionally, the tenth-grade students are responsible for the planning, set-up, and selling at the fair. I am sure that Mr. Egan consulted our teacher, Ms. Cates, for suggestions as to who would be the student directors, and I was pleasantly surprised when he approached me to be one of the students in charge. I was even more surprised when he told me that the student I would be working with was Charlie Lyons. Charlie and I have known each other since kindergarten but have never been close. Ever since we were partners for the science project last year, there is very little we choose to say to each other. Needless to say, the science project fell short of our expectations. In light of that event, I was shocked that Mr. Egan and Ms. Cates found us a suitable match. At the meeting with Mr. Egan, we divided the responsibilities between us. I would be in charge of setting up the room and getting the volunteers to work the sale for all three days. Charlie would be in charge of all the books. We were both quite satisfied with our jobs, and even more satisfied that there would be little contact between us. With only two weeks to plan, I knew I could not waste time. I asked John and Rachel to help me with the set-up and twelve other classmates to work at the fair. I figured that, between Mr. Egan, the friends who volunteered to help, and me, we would be just fine. Meanwhile, I tried on two separate occasions to start a conversation with Charlie about the progress he was making, but each time his response was, “Everything’s cool.” On the day of the set-up, my friends and I arrived, only to find Charlie with his head in his hands, surrounded by a million boxes of books. I asked him, “Charlie, what’s wrong?” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: He responded in despair, “There are a lot more books here than I expected.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the book fair was over, I couldn’t stop wondering why Mr. Egan put us together. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 东莞市2024-2025学年第一学期七校联考试题 高三英语 本试卷共8页，满分120分，考试用时120分钟。 选择题从第二部分的“阅读”开始，试题序号从“21”开始。 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。 A Strawberry picking is a popular and enjoyable activity in Pennsylvania.

A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本篇是一篇记叙文。叙述了作者从对攀登珠穆朗玛峰的态度从厌恶转向重新考虑这座山及其攀登精神的变化过程。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The idea of climbing Mt.Qomolangma disgusted me. The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry.Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Mt. Qomolangma, my answer was always the same: not interested. (攀登珠穆朗玛峰的想法令我厌恶。这座山成了我热爱和尊敬的攀岩运动的对立面。曾经的最终登山目标变成了商业导游业的焦点。这些年来，大本营的人越来越多，留下了成吨的垃圾。每当有人问我是否会攀登珠穆朗玛峰，我的回答总是一样的:不感兴趣)”可知，作者不喜欢攀登珠穆朗玛峰，是因为攀登这座山成为了一个商业活动，导致了营地人满为患、垃圾成堆，由此可推断出作者反感珠穆朗玛峰的原因是攀登活动被利益驱动所主导。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“That was probably where my personal Mt. Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not for an old friend Thom Pollard and his obsession with one of the greatest mysteries.(如果不是因为老朋友Mt. Qomolangma 和他对最大的谜团之一的痴迷，我个人的珠穆朗玛峰故事可能就此结束了)”以及第三段“Pollard’s story moved me. (Pollard的故事感动了我)”可知，是Thom Pollard的坚持和故事激励了作者去攀爬珠穆朗玛峰。故选A。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. (我不断地tipped my hat，不仅是对Mallory和Irvine，也是对任何有动力推动自己走上这条路的人)”可知，作者在攀登的过程中向那些有勇气攀登的人表达敬意，推断出“tipped my hat”意为“表示敬意”。故选B。 7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I went to Mt. Qomolangma to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Mt. Qomolangma.”(我去珠穆朗玛峰寻找欧文。但最后，我发现了更难得到的东西：欧文和马洛里共有的精神。它隐藏在人们的视线中，就在它一直存在的地方：在那些冒着巨大风险追随传奇冒险家的脚步攀登珠穆朗玛峰的勇敢的灵魂里。)可知，文章传达的信息主要是珠穆朗玛峰攀登者的精神值得尊敬。故选C。 C A casual walk along the Beijing Central Axis, connecting the Drum Tower and the impressive Forbidden City — this was Zhao’s first city-walking journey in the spring of last year.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了城市漫步作为一种个性化和不同的旅游方式，满足了人们以一种更沉浸式的方式探索城市的需求，是一种慢节奏、低碳的生活方式，受到了人们的喜爱。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“With the increasing variety of travel choices, traditional group tours no longer satisfy people who are looking for a more personal and different travel experience and hoping to explore every part of the city in a more immersive (沉浸式的) way. (随着旅游选择的多样化，传统的团体游已经不能满足那些寻求更个性化和不同的旅行体验，并希望以一种更沉浸式的方式探索城市的每一个部分的人)”和最后一段中Zhao所说的话“City-walking is all about doing whatever you want in your own exploration of a city, and it is actually the kind of slow-paced, low-carbon lifestyle that I relate to so much (城市漫步就是在探索城市的过程中做任何你想做的事情，它实际上是一种慢节奏、低碳的生活方式，我非常喜欢)”可推知，因为不同于传统的团体游，城市漫步是探索城市的一种更愉快、更个人化的方式，所以赵称城市漫步是“重新发现一个城市”的最好方式。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one’s legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms. (流行的城市漫步文化也在各大社交媒体平台上引起了轰动，这种文化鼓励人们在除了腿和脚之外没有任何交通工具的情况下体验城市生活)”可知，城市漫步文化鼓励人们在没有交通工具的情况下体验自由城市生活。故选B项。 10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“On the video-sharing app Douyin, the Chinese version of Tik-Tok, a recent video about citywalk routes in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, has gained more than 171,000 likes, with 72,000 viewers of all ages adding the video to their favorites. According to a report from lifestyle-sharing platform Xiaohongshu, in the first half of this year, searches about city-walks increased 30-fold from the previous year. (在视频分享应用抖音，中国版的Tik-Tok上，最近发布的一段关于广东省广州城市漫步路线的视频，获得了超过17.1万个赞，有7.2万名不同年龄的观众把这段视频加到了自己的收藏中。根据生活方式分享平台小红书的一份报告，今年上半年，关于城市漫步的搜索量比去年增长了30倍)”可知，城市漫步在抖音和小红书两个平台上都是热门话题。由此可知，城市漫步在互联网上很受欢迎。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段“Compared with tightly scheduled routes (路线) and picture-taking tours, city-walking focuses on free, casual and spontaneous (自发的) experiences. The trending city-walk culture, which encourages experiencing urban life with no transportation means except one’s legs and feet, has also made splashes on various social media platforms. (与紧凑的路线和拍照旅游相比，城市漫步侧重于自由、随意和自发的体验。流行的城市漫步文化也在各大社交媒体平台上引起了轰动，这种文化鼓励人们在除了腿和脚之外没有任何交通工具的情况下体验城市生活)”可知，文章围绕城市漫步展开，介绍了城市漫步作为一种个性化和不同的旅游方式，满足了人们以一种更沉浸式的方式探索城市的需求，是一种慢节奏、低碳的生活方式，受到了人们的喜爱。因此，B项“漫步文化在城市中流行起来”契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D Damian Stefaniuk and his colleagues at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a novel energy storage device—a supercapacitor— using three basic, inexpensive materials: water, cement, and a soot (煤灰), which can carry electricity. Supercapacitors are highly efficient at storing energy but differ from batteries in some important ways. They can charge much more quickly than a lithium (锂) battery and don’t experience the same level of performance decline over time. But supercapacitors also release the power they store rapidly, making them less useful in devices such as mobile phones, laptops or electric cars where a steady supply of energy is needed over an extended period of time. Yet according to Stefaniuk, these supercapacitors could make an important contribution to efforts to reduce carbon emissions and make the global economy more environmentally friendly. “If it can be scaled up, the technology can help solve an important issue— the storing of renewable energy,” he says. He and his fellow researchers at MIT envision several applications for their supercapacitors. One might be to create roads that store solar energy and then release it to recharge electric cars wirelessly as they drive along a road. The rapid release of energy from the supercapacitors would allow vehicles to get a rapid boost to their batteries. Another application would be using supercapacitors in the foundations or walls of houses, so that these parts of the house not only support the structure but also store energy. “But it’s still early stages. Right now, the supercapacitor made from building materials can only store just under 300 watt-hours per cubic meter, enough to power a 10-watt LED light for 30 hours. The power might seem low compared to regular batteries, but a foundation made from 30-40 cubic meters of this material could meet the daily energy needs of a house,” says Stefaniuk. “Since this material is used so widely around the world, it has the potential to be very competitive and useful for energy storage.” 12. What might be an advantage of supercapacitors? A. They require little care. B. They are lighter in design. C. They release power in a stable manner. D. They continue to work effectively over time. 13. How does the author highlight the application of supercapacitors? A. By providing examples. B. By giving instructions. C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting cause and effect. 14. Which of the following can be inferred about the supercapacitor technology? A. It is still developing and has great potential. B. It will be limited to small-scale applications. C. It is efficient enough to help replace batteries. D. It will become widely used in everyday devices. 15. What is the purpose of this text? A. To present a difficult problem. B. To advocate a timely action. C. To introduce a possible solution. D. To explain a complex process. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了麻省理工学院的Damian Stefaniuk及其同事开发的一种使用水、水泥和煤灰这三种基本且廉价的材料制成的新型储能装置——超级电容器，并说明了其优势、应用及潜力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Supercapacitors are highly efficient at storing energy but differ from batteries in some important ways. They can charge much more quickly than a lithium (锂) battery and don’t experience the same level of performance decline over time.(超级电容器在储存能量方面效率很高，但在一些重要方面与电池不同。它们的充电速度比锂电池快得多，而且随着时间的推移，性能不会像锂电池那样下降。)”可知，与电池相比，超级电容器的优势是它们能长时间有效工作。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“He and his fellow researchers at MIT envision several applications for their supercapacitors. One might be to create roads that store solar energy and then release it to recharge electric cars wirelessly as they drive along a road. The rapid release of energy from the supercapacitors would allow vehicles to get a rapid boost to their batteries. Another application would be using supercapacitors in the foundations or walls of houses, so that these parts of the house not only support the structure but also store energy.(他和他在麻省理工学院的同事们为他们的超级电容器设想了几种应用。一种可能是建造能够储存太阳能的道路，然后当电动汽车在路上行驶时，释放能量为电动汽车无线充电。超级电容器快速释放能量，可以让车辆的电池快速充电。另一种应用是在房屋的地基或墙壁中使用超级电容器，这样房屋的这些部分不仅可以支撑结构，还可以储存能量。)”可知，作者通过举例说明了超级电容器在道路上无线充电和为房屋提供能源等方面的应用。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But it’s still early stages. Right now, the supercapacitor made from building materials can only store just under 300 watt-hours per cubic meter…Since this material is used so widely around the world, it has the potential to be very competitive and useful for energy storage.(但这仍处于早期阶段。目前，由建筑材料制成的超级电容器每立方米只能储存不到300瓦时的电量……由于这种材料在全球范围内使用如此广泛，它有可能在储能方面具有很强的竞争力和实用性。)”可推知，超级电容器技术仍在发展中，并且具有巨大的潜力。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段“Damian Stefaniuk and his colleagues at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a novel energy storage device—a supercapacitor— using three basic, inexpensive materials: water, cement, and a soot (煤灰), which can carry electricity.(达米安·斯特凡纽克（Damian Stefaniuk）及其在马萨诸塞州理工学院（MIT）的同事们研发了一种新型储能装置——超级电容器，它使用了三种基础且价格低廉的材料：水、水泥和一种可以导电的煤灰。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一种使用水、水泥和能导电的煤灰这三种基本且廉价的材料制成的新型储能装置——超级电容器。由此可知，文章的主要目的是介绍一种可能的解决方案。故选C。 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。 Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem.

Our librarian, Mr. Egan, is the school sponsor (主办者) for it. Traditionally, the tenth-grade students are responsible for the planning, set-up, and selling at the fair. I am sure that Mr. Egan consulted our teacher, Ms. Cates, for suggestions as to who would be the student directors, and I was pleasantly surprised when he approached me to be one of the students in charge. I was even more surprised when he told me that the student I would be working with was Charlie Lyons. Charlie and I have known each other since kindergarten but have never been close. Ever since we were partners for the science project last year, there is very little we choose to say to each other. Needless to say, the science project fell short of our expectations. In light of that event, I was shocked that Mr. Egan and Ms. Cates found us a suitable match. At the meeting with Mr. Egan, we divided the responsibilities between us. I would be in charge of setting up the room and getting the volunteers to work the sale for all three days. Charlie would be in charge of all the books. We were both quite satisfied with our jobs, and even more satisfied that there would be little contact between us. With only two weeks to plan, I knew I could not waste time. I asked John and Rachel to help me with the set-up and twelve other classmates to work at the fair. I figured that, between Mr. Egan, the friends who volunteered to help, and me, we would be just fine. Meanwhile, I tried on two separate occasions to start a conversation with Charlie about the progress he was making, but each time his response was, “Everything’s cool.” On the day of the set-up, my friends and I arrived, only to find Charlie with his head in his hands, surrounded by a million boxes of books. I asked him, “Charlie, what’s wrong?” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: He responded in despair, “There are a lot more books here than I expected.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the book fair was over, I couldn’t stop wondering why Mr. Egan put us together. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: He responded in despair, “There are a lot more books here than I expected.” My initial impulse was to say, “This is your mess. Figure it out yourself.” But instead I said, “Let me see if I can get some help.” Charlie nodded, appreciating the support. Then, we, together with other helpers, rolled up our sleeves and started sorting them by genre. Hours passed by as we worked side by side. Slowly but surely, the chaos began to transform into a perfect fair, and our avoidance of contact into smooth communication. I was surprised that the book fair was a success and even more surprised that we could actually work well together.(98 words) After the book fair was over, I couldn’t stop wondering why Mr. Egan put us together. I approached him, eager to figure out his intention of this unlikely pairing. However, his reply was quite simple, “I knew that this would be a great experience for both of you. It wasn’t so much about running the book fair as it was a lesson in how important it is to communicate and to work alongside others when necessary.” Hearing what he said and thinking of what happened between Charlie and me, I couldn’t help but smile. Sometimes, the most valuable lessons are learned amidst the challenges we face and the people we least expect to be our allies.(100 words) 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了学校每年一月都会举办一年一度的书展，伊根老师提出让作者担任学生主任的建议时，作者很惊讶，更让作者惊讶的是，他告诉作者，和作者一起工作的学生是查理·莱昂斯。查理尽管和作者认识，但是很少沟通和交流。书展那天，作者和作者的朋友们到了，却发现查理双手抱头，被一百万箱书包围着。我问他:“查理，怎么了?” 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他绝望地回答说:“这里的书比我想象的要多得多。”可知，第一段可描写作者克服了最初的冲动“这是你的烂摊子。你自己想办法吧”而帮助了查理，通过合作，把书进行了分类。一切顺利，书展很成功。 ②由第二段首句内容“书展结束后，我一直在想为什么伊根先生把我们安排在一起”可知，第二段可描询问伊根老师以及得到答复和作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：克服最初的冲动——帮助查理——展会很成功——询问伊根老师——感悟 3.词汇激活 行类 弄清楚：figure out /make out 经营：run/operate 发生：happen /take place 期望：expect/hope 情绪类 惊讶的：surprised/astonished 渴望的：eager/thirsty 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hearing what he said and thinking of what happened between Charlie and me, I couldn’t help but smile.
