I developed a painful thing in my neck caused by weight increases. I was told it wasn’t dangerous but could lead to long-term pain. I knew I had to make a change. I began doing 15 minutes of jumping rope at home or swimming at my local gym daily. I also cut out the chocolate and fast food and introduced a healthier diet. I felt fitter and happier within just a few days of moving more and eating more healthily, but this kind of lifestyle change isn’t always easy for women in my country. It’s considered a cultural custom (风俗) for women to avoid showing their skin (皮肤) in public, which can make gymwear and swimwear difficult. This means many women aren’t taught to swim as children. I wanted to prove to other women in my country that showing your skin and exercising for your own health is nothing to feel bad about. I felt the need to help them experience the confidence swimming was giving me. With the support of my parents, I began sharing photos and videos of myself in swimwear and actively swimming on social media. I received so many comments from other women thanking me and asking me to teach them how to swim. It was a big deal for them to see me, in my 40s, taking swimming so seriously and having such huge rewards (回报), and I jumped at the chance to help them. Now, three months later, I’m a swimming teacher with a waiting list of 40 women who I teach in person, in small groups at my local gym. My goal is to make it accessible (可得到的) to everyone; if my mum can jump into the water and do tumble turns (滚翻转身) at 71, anyone can. 4. What led the author to change her lifestyle? A. The pain in her neck. B. Her mother’s lifestyle. C. Her doctor’s suggestion. D. The increase in her stress. 5 Why is the author’s new lifestyle hard for other women in her country? A. They are not supposed to stay long in public. B. It is considered time-wasting for them to do exercise. C. It is considered improper to show their skin in public. D. They are often asked to stay at home and care for the family. 6. What is the author’s parents’ attitude toward her sharing her swimming life online? A. Uncaring. B. Supportive. C. Fearful. D. Curious. 7. What is the author’s goal? A. To become a great swimming teacher. B. To form a swimming group at her local gym. C. To encourage her 71-year-old mother to swim. D. To teach swimming to anyone who wants to swim. C If you often exercise, there is a good chance for you to be more creative, according to a study of the links between physical activity and imagination. The study finds that active people come up with more and better ideas during tests of their inventiveness. It has been proved that physical activity influences our thinking. Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity, for during exercise our brains take in more blood, oxygen and nutrients (营养物), thus producing more new brain cells than those who don’t exercise. In this way, exercise raises our moods (情绪) and is likely to improve our abilities to reason and remember. However, creativity is an abstract (抽象的) thinking skill, whose relationship with exercise has not been clear. Some past research suggested exercise does not directly affect creative thinking. To learn more about how being active could possibly affect creativity, researchers at the University of Graz tracked the normal activities of a group of healthy adults. They equipped these volunteers with activity trackers for five days. Then they asked them to visit the lab. The researchers then rated their output on its creativity and other measures. The volunteers also completed standardized questionnaires about their moods. The scientists found that the most active of the volunteers proved to be also the most creative, especially if they often walked or exercised properly. They are also likely to be in high spirits, although their moods were highest if they took part in energetic activities, rather than average ones. However, the link between activity, creativity and moods was light. This suggested that it was not improved moods, but physical activity, that had a greater influence on creativity. The study didn’t take people’s whole lives into account and cannot tell us how exercise and other activities might shape creativity, if not by raising moods. But the results do suggest that active imaginations start with active lives. 8. How does physical activity change our brains? A. By making more brain cells. B. By responding to thinking. C. By supplying more nutrients. D. By increasing blood pressure. 9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. The purpose of the study. B. The process of the study. C. The findings of the study. D. The subjects of the study. 10. What do we know from Paragraph 5? A. Those doing more energetic exercise are the most creative. B. People’s moods are closely connected with their creativity. C. Exercise plays a more important role in shaping creativity. D. Effortless physical activities make people more creative. 11. What is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Is Exercise Good for Your Mental Health? B. Can Exercise Make You More Creative? C. What Makes You More Imaginative? D. How Exercise Improves Your Mood? D If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back? Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic - it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people. Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33, 882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) - PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPNP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others. They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world. 12. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories? A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities. C. Social experiences. D. Communication skills. 13 What does the recent study focus on? A. The mental cause of trust. B. The ways to develop survival ability. C. The characteristics of different genes. D. The connection between trust and a gene. 14. What does the passage say about trusting others? A. It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work. C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. A Gene Influences How Trusting You Are B. Experiences Make You Grow Dependable C. A Link Between Biology and Social Science D. Theories That Explain Why You Are Trusted 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Choose the Right School Club Choosing the right school club can significantly improve the quality your high school experience. ___16___ Know Your Interests Start by considering your hobbies, passions, and academic interests.

She was born in August and her name is Aida. Shortly after having Aida, my mother-in-law Ann showed me something she learned from her friend’s mother in an art class she attended weekly, She had showed me how to knit (编织) a scarf. I spent a lot of time breastfeeding my sweet little girl, so I had some extra time to do something with my hands throughout the day. I enjoyed making the scarf so I purchased tons of yarn (线) since it was winter. I wanted to make scarves for my three children as Christmas gifts. There was a new family that moved in down the street. The only daughter of the family was Jane, a shy girl, aged 14, the same age of my oldest son David. It seemed that she came from a financially disadvantaged family, for she always wore old clothes. Worse still, in such cold days, she had no more clothes to wear and trembled with cold. Due to the pandemic, society was thrown into crisis mode. Schools were closed, food supplies and deliveries were suspended and children were stuck at home. In such discouraging time, however, they became good companions, talking and playing at home or around the houses. It was dreadfully cold this winter. Every time David came back from outside, with red face, he always cried, “Mum, it is freezing outside!” Then, he came over to see whether I finished the scarf. I could tell how impatient he was to wear my scarf sooner! I had to speed the project to satisfy his expectation. But David comforted me by saying he could wait a few days. What a kind and considerate boy he was! Then my great art project finally was accomplished on the morning ahead of Christmas. 注意： 1.续写词数应为120词左右；开头语已为你写好。 I wrapped the scarf around David’s neck. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5.

I developed a painful thing in my neck caused by weight increases. I was told it wasn’t dangerous but could lead to long-term pain. I knew I had to make a change. I began doing 15 minutes of jumping rope at home or swimming at my local gym daily. I also cut out the chocolate and fast food and introduced a healthier diet. I felt fitter and happier within just a few days of moving more and eating more healthily, but this kind of lifestyle change isn’t always easy for women in my country. It’s considered a cultural custom (风俗) for women to avoid showing their skin (皮肤) in public, which can make gymwear and swimwear difficult. This means many women aren’t taught to swim as children. I wanted to prove to other women in my country that showing your skin and exercising for your own health is nothing to feel bad about. I felt the need to help them experience the confidence swimming was giving me. With the support of my parents, I began sharing photos and videos of myself in swimwear and actively swimming on social media. I received so many comments from other women thanking me and asking me to teach them how to swim. It was a big deal for them to see me, in my 40s, taking swimming so seriously and having such huge rewards (回报), and I jumped at the chance to help them. Now, three months later, I’m a swimming teacher with a waiting list of 40 women who I teach in person, in small groups at my local gym. My goal is to make it accessible (可得到的) to everyone; if my mum can jump into the water and do tumble turns (滚翻转身) at 71, anyone can. 4. What led the author to change her lifestyle? A. The pain in her neck. B. Her mother’s lifestyle. C. Her doctor’s suggestion. D. The increase in her stress. 5. Why is the author’s new lifestyle hard for other women in her country? A. They are not supposed to stay long in public. B. It is considered time-wasting for them to do exercise. C. It is considered improper to show their skin in public. D. They are often asked to stay at home and care for the family. 6. What is the author’s parents’ attitude toward her sharing her swimming life online? A. Uncaring. B. Supportive. C. Fearful. D. Curious. 7. What is the author’s goal? A. To become a great swimming teacher. B. To form a swimming group at her local gym. C. To encourage her 71-year-old mother to swim. D. To teach swimming to anyone who wants to swim. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者在40岁时因脖子疼开始改变生活方式，积极锻炼游泳，并在网上分享游泳视频和照片，激励更多的女性积极锻炼的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段中的“I developed a painful thing in my neck caused by weight increases. I was told it wasn’t dangerous but could lead to long-term pain. I knew I had to make a change.(我的脖子因为体重增加而长了一个疼痛的东西。我被告知这并不危险，但可能会导致长期疼痛。我知道我必须做出改变。)”可知，导致作者脖子疼痛的东西不危险，但可能导致长期疼痛，作者决定做出改变，由此可知，是作者的脖子疼痛导致作者决定改变生活方式的。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It’s considered a cultural custom (风俗) for women to avoid showing their skin (皮肤) in public, which can make gymwear and swimwear difficult.(女性避免在公共场合裸露皮肤被认为是一种文化习俗，这让她们很难穿运动服和泳衣。)”可知，作者国家的一种文化习俗是女性应避免在公共场合裸露皮肤，由此可知，作者国家的女性在公共场合裸露皮肤被认为是不合适的，所以作者的新生活方式对她国家的其他女性来说很难。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“With the support of my parents, I began sharing photos and videos of myself in swimwear and actively swimming on social media.(在父母的支持下，我开始在社交媒体上分享自己穿着泳装积极游泳的照片和视频。)”可知，作者在父母的支持下在社交媒体上分享自己穿着泳装游泳的照片和视频，由此可知，作者的父母对作者在社交媒体上分享游泳生活持支持态度。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据尾段中的“My goal is to make it accessible (可得到的) to everyone; if my mum can jump into the water and do tumble turns (滚翻转身) at 71, anyone can.(我的目标是让每个人都能接触到游泳；如果我妈妈在71岁的时候都能跳进水里翻筋斗，那么任何人都可以。)”可知，作者想让每人都接触游泳，并呼吁大家积极加入到游泳中来，由此可知，作者的目标是教任何想游泳的人游泳。故选D项。 C If you often exercise, there is a good chance for you to be more creative, according to a study of the links between physical activity and imagination. The study finds that active people come up with more and better ideas during tests of their inventiveness. It has been proved that physical activity influences our thinking. Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity, for during exercise our brains take in more blood, oxygen and nutrients (营养物), thus producing more new brain cells than those who don’t exercise. In this way, exercise raises our moods (情绪) and is likely to improve our abilities to reason and remember. However, creativity is an abstract (抽象的) thinking skill, whose relationship with exercise has not been clear. Some past research suggested exercise does not directly affect creative thinking. To learn more about how being active could possibly affect creativity, researchers at the University of Graz tracked the normal activities of a group of healthy adults. They equipped these volunteers with activity trackers for five days. Then they asked them to visit the lab. The researchers then rated their output on its creativity and other measures. The volunteers also completed standardized questionnaires about their moods. The scientists found that the most active of the volunteers proved to be also the most creative, especially if they often walked or exercised properly. They are also likely to be in high spirits, although their moods were highest if they took part in energetic activities, rather than average ones. However, the link between activity, creativity and moods was light. This suggested that it was not improved moods, but physical activity, that had a greater influence on creativity. The study didn’t take people’s whole lives into account and cannot tell us how exercise and other activities might shape creativity, if not by raising moods. But the results do suggest that active imaginations start with active lives. 8. How does physical activity change our brains? A. By making more brain cells. B. By responding to thinking. C. By supplying more nutrients. D. By increasing blood pressure. 9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. The purpose of the study. B. The process of the study. C. The findings of the study. D. The subjects of the study. 10. What do we know from Paragraph 5? A. Those doing more energetic exercise are the most creative. B. People’s moods are closely connected with their creativity. C. Exercise plays a more important role in shaping creativity. D. Effortless physical activities make people more creative. 11. What is the most suitable title for the passage? A. Is Exercise Good for Your Mental Health? B. Can Exercise Make You More Creative? C. What Makes You More Imaginative? D. How Exercise Improves Your Mood? 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项关于体育活动与想象力之间联系的研究，介绍了体育活动如何影响我们的大脑以及创造力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many studies show that our brains go through changes in response to physical activity, for during exercise our brains take in more blood, oxygen and nutrients (营养物), thus producing more new brain cells than those who don’t exercise.( 许多研究表明，我们的大脑会对体育活动做出反应而发生变化，因为在锻炼过程中，我们的大脑会吸收更多的血液、氧气和营养，从而产生比不锻炼的人更多的新脑细胞)”可知，体育活动通过产生更多的脑细胞来改变我们的大脑。故选A项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“To learn more about how being active could possibly affect creativity, researchers at the University of Graz tracked the normal activities of a group of healthy adults. They equipped these volunteers with activity trackers for five days. Then they asked them to visit the lab. The researchers then rated their output on its creativity and other measures. The volunteers also completed standardized questionnaires about their moods.(为了进一步了解活跃如何影响创造力，格拉茨大学的研究人员追踪了一组健康成年人的正常活动。他们给这些志愿者配备了5天的活动追踪器。然后他们请他们参观实验室。然后，研究人员根据他们的创造力和其他指标对他们的产出进行评级。志愿者还完成了关于他们情绪的标准化问卷)”可知，本段详细描述了研究过程，包括给志愿者配备活动追踪器、让他们访问实验室、对创造力和其他指标进行评分以及完成标准化情绪问卷等。因此，本段重点介绍了研究的过程。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“However, the link between activity, creativity and moods was light. This suggested that it was not improved moods, but physical activity, that had a greater influence on creativity. (然而，活动、创造力和情绪之间的联系并不紧密。这表明，对创造力有更大影响的不是情绪的改善，而是体育活动)”可推知，运动在塑造创造力方面发挥着更重要的作用。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“If you often exercise, there is a good chance for you to be more creative, according to a study of the links between physical activity and imagination. (根据一项关于体育活动与想象力之间联系的研究，如果你经常锻炼，你很有可能变得更有创造力)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕体育活动与创造力之间的关系进行阐述，介绍了相关研究及其发现。因此，B项“运动能让你更有创造力吗？”最能概括文章主旨，最适合作为本文标题。故选B项。 D If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back? Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic - it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people. Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33, 882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) - PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPNP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others. They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world. 12. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories? A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities. C. Social experiences. D. Communication skills. 13. What does the recent study focus on? A. The mental cause of trust. B. The ways to develop survival ability. C. The characteristics of different genes. D. The connection between trust and a gene. 14. What does the passage say about trusting others? A It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work. C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response. 15. What might be the best title for the passage? A. A Gene Influences How Trusting You Are B. Experiences Make You Grow Dependable C. A Link Between Biology and Social Science D. Theories That Explain Why You Are Trusted 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，我们信任陌生人可能不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征，它可能根植于我们的DNA。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned. (另一种观点认为，这是受到一个人对社会环境的持续评估的影响。我们可以很容易地想象，对于“你认为大多数人都是可以信任的吗？”这取决于你前一天是否被抢劫过，或者你丢失的钱包是否被找回来了.)”可知，人们的社会经历会影响他们对他人的信任程度。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic - it could be rooted in our DNA. (最近的一项研究发现，我们信任陌生人的能力可能不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征——它可能根植于我们的DNA。)”和第四段“In their most recent study, involving 33, 882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) - PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPNP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. (在他们最近的一项研究中，涉及33882名丹麦献血者，他们发现了一个单一的基因 - PLPP4，与信任他人的性格密切相关，PLPNP4基因解释了研究人群中6%的社会信任差异。)”可推断，近来的一个研究的重点是信任与基因的关系。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people. (这一点很重要，因为事实证明，与多疑的人相比，信任的人实际上可能活得更长、更健康。)”及第五段“If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. (如果当我们遇到新朋友时，我们的战斗或逃跑系统不那么强大，那么信任他人可能会对健康有巨大的好处。事实上，如果信任他人能起到对抗压力的作用，它可能会降低患心血管疾病的风险。)”可知，信任别人会使人健康、降低心血管疾病的风险。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic - it could be rooted in our DNA. (最近的一项研究发现，我们信任陌生人的能力可能不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征——它可能根植于我们的DNA。)”可知，本文主要介绍研究发现，我们信任陌生人可能不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征，它可能根植于我们的DNA。A项“基因影响你的信任程度。”适合作本文标题。故选A。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Choose the Right School Club Choosing the right school club can significantly improve the quality your high school experience. ___16___ Know Your Interests Start by considering your hobbies, passions, and academic interests.

She was born in August and her name is Aida. Shortly after having Aida, my mother-in-law Ann showed me something she learned from her friend’s mother in an art class she attended weekly, She had showed me how to knit (编织) a scarf. I spent a lot of time breastfeeding my sweet little girl, so I had some extra time to do something with my hands throughout the day. I enjoyed making the scarf so I purchased tons of yarn (线) since it was winter. I wanted to make scarves for my three children as Christmas gifts. There was a new family that moved in down the street. The only daughter of the family was Jane, a shy girl, aged 14, the same age of my oldest son David. It seemed that she came from a financially disadvantaged family, for she always wore old clothes. Worse still, in such cold days, she had no more clothes to wear and trembled with cold. Due to the pandemic, society was thrown into crisis mode. Schools were closed, food supplies and deliveries were suspended and children were stuck at home. In such discouraging time, however, they became good companions, talking and playing at home or around the houses. It was dreadfully cold this winter. Every time David came back from outside, with red face, he always cried, “Mum, it is freezing outside!” Then, he came over to see whether I finished the scarf. I could tell how impatient he was to wear my scarf sooner! I had to speed the project to satisfy his expectation. But David comforted me by saying he could wait a few days. What a kind and considerate boy he was! Then my great art project finally was accomplished on the morning ahead of Christmas. 注意： 1.续写词数应为120词左右；开头语已为你写好。 I wrapped the scarf around David’s neck. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I wrapped the scarf around David’s neck. David’s face lit up with joy. Stroking the scarf softly, David excitedly kissed me in the check, beaming at me “Thank you. Mum. This is the best gift I have ever received.” Before I could say anything, he dashed out to join Jane with a spring in his steps. I felt relieved and content as a mother, seeing David play happily outside, with the scarf sheltering him to brave the bone-chilling wind. Later that day David came back, saying Jane also deserved a scarf. Obviously, David noticed Jane could hardly bear the freezing weather with worn-out clothes. “Can I give this to Jane as a Christmas gift?” David ventured in a low voice. Smilingly, I nodded. Seeing David rush into Jane’s house with the scarf in his hand, I felt a burst of pride. I was happy that both of them received the best gift for Christmas. For Jane, a scarf to keep warm, and for David, a taste of happiness of giving. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了疫情期间作者学会了织围巾，她想给家里的三个孩子织围巾作为圣诞节礼物。经济拮据的Jane一家人搬到了这条街上， Jane总是被冻得瑟瑟发抖，她和作者的大儿子David一样大，由于疫情大爆发，孩子们被困在家里，Jane和David成为了好伙伴，由于天气寒冷，David想快点戴上围巾，作者终于在圣诞节前的早晨织好了围巾。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我把围巾绕在David的脖子上。”可知，第一段可描写David在戴上围巾后的情景，以及他看到Jane衣着单薄后把围巾送给Jane当作圣诞节礼物。 2.续写线索：David开心——作者感到满足——David想把围巾送给Jane——作者答应——作者感到自豪 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲出去：dash out/rush out ②注意到：notice/spot ③保暖：keep warm/stay warm 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitedly/with excitement ②满足：content/satisfied 【点睛】[高分句型1] This is the best gift I have ever received.（省略关系词的定语从句） [高分句型2] I felt relieved and content as a mother, seeing David play happily outside, with the scarf sheltering him to brave the bone-chilling wind. （由现在分词和with的复合结构作状语） 听力1-5.
