B As the first African American woman to receive a medical degree in America, Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler challenged the prejudice that prevented African Americans and women from following medical careers. Born in 1831 in Christiana, Delaware, Crumpler spent her childhood in Pennsylvania with an aunt, who frequently cared for sick neighbors, and Crumpler went with her on these trips. In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.” In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a nurse. In the early 1850s, there was no formal school where one could become licensed to practice nursing. Even so, Crumpler assisted several doctors in Boston for eight years. They in turn supported her application to the New England Female Medical College, where she was awarded a state- funded scholarship. Crumpler worked hard at her studies but had to take a leave of absence after two years to attend to her sick husband, who unfortunately passed away in 1863. Months later, Crumpler returned to complete her final term but was nearly refused after some faculty members (教员) expressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to complete her coursework and were hesitant to let her come back. Luckily, with several of the school’s sponsors supporting her, Crumpler finally received a “Doctress of Medicine” from college, and began seeing patients in and around her house, treating them regardless of their ability to pay. In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published a book based on journal notes she kept during her years of practice. A Book of Medical Discourses, specifically aimed at women and the care of their children, is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. Scientific American describes it as the forerunner of the famous What to Expect When You’ re Expecting (1984). 24. What inspired Crumpler to take up medicine? A. The influence of her aunt. B. The desire to help the poor. C. Her family’s encouragement. D. The doctors’ financial support. 25 Which of the following can best describe Crumpler? A. Humorous and easygoing. B. Caring and determined. C. Adventurous and sensitive. D. Optimistic and honest. 26. Why did some teachers attempt to reject Crumpler’s returning to school? A. Her family couldn’t afford her education. B. She failed to follow the school regulations. C. They felt negative about her determination. D. They doubted her ability to finish her study. 27. What do people think of Crumpler’s book according to the last paragraph? A. Inspiring but unrealistic. B. Accessible and interesting. C. Educational but complicated. D. Groundbreaking and practical. C If you’ve ever emerged from the shower or returned from your walk with a clever idea or a solution to a problem you had been struggling with, it may not be a surprise. Rather than constantly concentrating on a problem, research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely to have creative breakthroughs when they’re doing a habitual task that doesn’t require much thought. “People always get surprised when they realize they get interesting, novel ideas at unexpected times,” says Kalina Christoff, a scientist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, “because our culture tells us that we should do it through hard work.” Now researchers begin to understand why these clever thoughts occur during more passive activities and what’s happening in the brain. They have found that the key is a series of brain activities—within what’s called the default mode (DM) network—that occur while an individual is resting or performing habitual tasks that don’t require much attention. “Simply put, it is a state that your brain returns to when you’re relaxed,” explains Christoff. “By contrast, when you’re working on a demanding task, the brain’s executive control (EC) systems keep your thinking focused, analytical, and logical.” Researchers find that the DM network is also involved in the early stages of idea generation, drawing from past experiences and knowledge about the world. When your mind wanders, you’re allowing thoughts to playfully cross your mind, which helps you combine information and ideas in new ways and something clicks. “A cautionary note: While the DM network plays a key role in the creative process, it is the EC systems that help you to evaluate and apply the creative ideas effectively to your problems in the real world,” Christoff says. “So it’s unwise to place blind faith in the discovery that creative ideas can be generated in the shower or during any other kinds of mind wandering. Instead, you have to do the work to set the groundwork for creative ideas to emerge in the first place.” 28. What is the most unlikely function of the EC systems? A. To start your thinking process. B. To help you analyze. C. To let you get novel ideas D. To keep you focused. 29. What do the underlined words “something clicks” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. A clever idea occurs. B. Something drops down. C. A memory disappears. D. A funny thought happens. 30. What is Kalina Christoff’s attitude to the culture of hard work? A. Disapproving. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned. 31. Which statement might the author agree with? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Where there is a will there is a way. C. Everything comes to him who waits. D. All work and no break makes Jack a dull boy. D An 11-minute quick walk every day could prevent one in ten premature deaths worldwide, according to the largest ever study of its kind. Globally, one in ten early deaths could be avoided if everyone met just half the NHS target for moderate (适度的)-intensity physical activity, the pooled data analysis suggests. The results were published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Moderate-intensity physical activity is defined as activity that raises the heart rate and makes people breathe faster, but still leaves them able to speak. “If you are someone who finds the idea of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week a bit daunting, then our findings should be good news,” said Dr. Soren Brage, of Cambridge’s Medical Research Council epidemiology unit. Researchers looked at 196 peer-reviewed articles, covering more than 30 million participants from 94 large study teams. They then examined the link between levels of physical activity and the risk of heart disease, cancer and early death. At least 75 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity lowered the risk of early death by 23%. It was also enough to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 17% and cancer by 7%. “We know that physical activity, such as walking or cycling, is good for you, especially if you feel it raises your heart rate,” said Prof. James Woodcock, also of Cambridge University. “But what we’ve found is there are substantial benefits to heart health and reducing your risk of cancer even if you can only manage 10 minutes every day.” The researchers calculated that if everyone in the studies had done the equal of at least 150 minutes a week of moderate activity, about one in six early deaths would have been prevented. But even if everyone had managed at least 75 minutes a week, about one in ten early deaths would have been prevented, the research found. 32. What is the main finding of the study mentioned in the text? A. Early deaths cannot be prevented through physical activity. B Everyone needs to exercise for at least 150 minutes weekly. C. 11 minutes’ daily quick walking could stop 10% of early deaths. D. Walking is the best exercise for preventing premature deaths. 33. What does the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Exciting. B. Discouraging. C. Confusing. D. Addictive. 34. How did the researchers do their study? A. They examined previous similar articles. B. They cooperated with 94 large study teams. C. They tracked down different people’s ways of exercise. D. They asked about 30 million participants to answer questions. 35. What is the message of the study for people who can’t manage 150 minutes of physical activity a week? A. They should give up on physical activity altogether. B. 75 minutes’ weekly activity is not enough to keep fit. C. They should aim for high-intensity workouts for health. D. Ten minutes’ daily activity can prevent heart disease and cancer. 第二节(共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分) The act of making and being a friend is as simple as it is difficult.

You're going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog？” “Yes, yes, and yes.” “I don't believe you.” “We will.We promise.” They didn't. They wanted to walk the cute dog that first day.From day two, neither of them thought to walk the dog.While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one.As she looked up at the three new humans in her life, she calculated，“The medium one is the most reliable.” Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵相通). She'd look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, send her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand—which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she would extend across my stomach as I watched television, and snored on my home­office couch as I worked on my design. Even so, part of me continued to reject walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised.“Not fair，” I said to myself as she and I walked.“Not fair，” I'd loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home. In September, 2008, the Great Depression hit Arizona.With that, my husband and I were both laid off overnight.During the following six months, Joe and I hurriedly rushed here and there to seek a new job, doing anything and everything we could to request employment.Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.However, Misty still needed walking. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Upset as I was, I had to walk Misty while seeking a job. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months going by, my life changed a little and I came to enjoy my walks with Misty. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 山西现代双语学校高三年级第三次月考 英语试题 (时间：120分钟 满分：150分 听力不计入总分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What are the speakers doing?

But if they must, they can move freely hundreds of meters down in today’s diving suits. The newest robots can move like fish in the sea and get around the oceans by themselves. Some vehicles can even travel all the way to the sea floor. New wireless technology connects the sea with the land by the use of the Internet. With information sent immediately, scientists can make decisions almost at the same time. And let’s not forget to mention the underwater hydrophones. These can receive and record ocean sounds. Noise in the oceans? Yes, indeed. The sea is by no means the silent world we thought it to be. The hydrophones record earthquakes, and even sounds made by fish. This information is sent over the Internet as well. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分60分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题3分，满分45分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A The four best specialty food festivals in the US Maine Lobster Festival — Rockland, Maine Rockland is the self-proclaimed (自封的) lobster capital of the world, and its annual Maine Lobster Festival provides the state’s favorite lobsters and crabs.

Born in 1831 in Christiana, Delaware, Crumpler spent her childhood in Pennsylvania with an aunt, who frequently cared for sick neighbors, and Crumpler went with her on these trips. In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.” In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a nurse. In the early 1850s, there was no formal school where one could become licensed to practice nursing. Even so, Crumpler assisted several doctors in Boston for eight years. They in turn supported her application to the New England Female Medical College, where she was awarded a state- funded scholarship. Crumpler worked hard at her studies but had to take a leave of absence after two years to attend to her sick husband, who unfortunately passed away in 1863. Months later, Crumpler returned to complete her final term but was nearly refused after some faculty members (教员) expressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to complete her coursework and were hesitant to let her come back. Luckily, with several of the school’s sponsors supporting her, Crumpler finally received a “Doctress of Medicine” from college, and began seeing patients in and around her house, treating them regardless of their ability to pay. In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published a book based on journal notes she kept during her years of practice. A Book of Medical Discourses, specifically aimed at women and the care of their children, is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. Scientific American describes it as the forerunner of the famous What to Expect When You’ re Expecting (1984). 24. What inspired Crumpler to take up medicine? A. The influence of her aunt. B. The desire to help the poor. C. Her family’s encouragement. D. The doctors’ financial support. 25. Which of the following can best describe Crumpler? A. Humorous and easygoing. B. Caring and determined. C. Adventurous and sensitive. D. Optimistic and honest. 26. Why did some teachers attempt to reject Crumpler’s returning to school? A. Her family couldn’t afford her education. B. She failed to follow the school regulations. C. They felt negative about her determination. D. They doubted her ability to finish her study. 27. What do people think of Crumpler’s book according to the last paragraph? A. Inspiring but unrealistic. B. Accessible and interesting. C. Educational but complicated. D. Groundbreaking and practical. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了第一位在美国获得医学学位的非裔美国女性Rebecca Lee Crumpler的从医经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.”(在1883年出版的书中，克拉姆勒写道：“我被一位善良的姑姑抚养长大，她不断地寻求对病人的帮助，我很早就喜欢上了医学，并且寻找每一个机会来减轻他人的痛苦。”)”可知，姑姑的影响激发了克拉姆勒从医。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.”(在1883年出版的书中，克拉姆勒写道：“我被一位善良的姑姑抚养长大，她不断地寻求对病人的帮助，我很早就喜欢上了医学，并且寻找每一个机会来减轻他人的痛苦，并寻求每一个机会来减轻别人的痛苦。”)”以及第三段“In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a nurse. In the early 1850s, there was no formal school where one could become licensed to practice nursing. Even so, Crumpler assisted several doctors in Boston for eight years.(1852年，克拉姆勒搬到马萨诸塞州的查尔斯敦，开始了她的护士医疗生涯。在19世纪50年代早期，没有正式的学校可以让一个人获得执业护理执照。即便如此，克拉姆勒还是在波士顿协助了几位医生八年的时间)”可知，克拉姆勒想要减轻别人的痛苦，并且坚持自己的事业，说明她有爱心和决心。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Months later, Crumpler returned to complete her final term but was nearly refused after some faculty members (教员) expressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to complete her coursework and were hesitant to let her come back.(几个月后，克拉姆勒回来完成她的最后一个学期，但几乎被拒绝了，因为一些老师担心她完成课程所需的时间太多，不愿让她回来)”可知，有些老师试图拒绝克拉姆勒返校因为他们怀疑她是否有能力完成学业。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“A Book of Medical Discourses, specifically aimed at women and the care of their children, is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. Scientific American describes it as the forerunner of the famous What to Expect When You’ re Expecting (1984).(一本专门针对妇女及其子女护理的医学论述书，被认为是第一本由非裔美国作家撰写的医学文本。《《科学美国人》将其描述为著名的《怀孕时的期望》（1984年）的先驱)”可推知，克拉姆勒的书是第一本由非裔美国作家撰写的医学文本，并且提供了使用的建议，即人们认为克拉姆勒的书有开创性和实用性。故选D。 C If you’ve ever emerged from the shower or returned from your walk with a clever idea or a solution to a problem you had been struggling with, it may not be a surprise. Rather than constantly concentrating on a problem, research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely to have creative breakthroughs when they’re doing a habitual task that doesn’t require much thought. “People always get surprised when they realize they get interesting, novel ideas at unexpected times,” says Kalina Christoff, a scientist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, “because our culture tells us that we should do it through hard work.” Now researchers begin to understand why these clever thoughts occur during more passive activities and what’s happening in the brain. They have found that the key is a series of brain activities—within what’s called the default mode (DM) network—that occur while an individual is resting or performing habitual tasks that don’t require much attention. “Simply put, it is a state that your brain returns to when you’re relaxed,” explains Christoff. “By contrast, when you’re working on a demanding task, the brain’s executive control (EC) systems keep your thinking focused, analytical, and logical.” Researchers find that the DM network is also involved in the early stages of idea generation, drawing from past experiences and knowledge about the world. When your mind wanders, you’re allowing thoughts to playfully cross your mind, which helps you combine information and ideas in new ways and something clicks. “A cautionary note: While the DM network plays a key role in the creative process, it is the EC systems that help you to evaluate and apply the creative ideas effectively to your problems in the real world,” Christoff says. “So it’s unwise to place blind faith in the discovery that creative ideas can be generated in the shower or during any other kinds of mind wandering. Instead, you have to do the work to set the groundwork for creative ideas to emerge in the first place.” 28. What is the most unlikely function of the EC systems? A. To start your thinking process. B. To help you analyze. C. To let you get novel ideas D. To keep you focused. 29. What do the underlined words “something clicks” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. A clever idea occurs. B. Something drops down. C. A memory disappears. D. A funny thought happens. 30. What is Kalina Christoff’s attitude to the culture of hard work? A. Disapproving. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned. 31. Which statement might the author agree with? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Everything comes to him who waits. D. All work and no break makes Jack a dull boy. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了创意经常会在放松状态下出现的心理机制。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“‘By contrast, when you’re working on a demanding task, the brain’s executive control (EC) systems keep your thinking focused, analytical, and logical.’”（“相比之下，当你在处理一项要求很高的任务时，大脑的执行控制系统(EC)会让你的思维保持集中、分析性和逻辑性。”）”可知，EC系统主导的是有意识的思维活动而不是无意识的创意思维活动，让你开始思维过程，帮助你分析，保持你集中，不能让你获得新的想法。故选C。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前“Researchers find that the DM network is also involved in the early stages of idea generation, drawing from past experiences and knowledge about the world.（研究人员发现，DM网络也参与了想法产生的早期阶段，从过去的经验和对世界的了解中汲取知识。）”结合划线句“When your mind wanders, you’re allowing thoughts to playfully cross your mind, which helps you combine information and ideas in new ways and something clicks.( 当你走神的时候，你允许一些想法在你的脑海中嬉戏，这有助于你以新的方式结合信息和想法，并something clicks。)”可推断，something clicks与idea generation所表达的意思相近，即当走神时，想法在我们的脑海中嬉戏，有助于我们以新的方式将信息和想法结合起来，这样一个聪明的想法就产生了。故划线部分与A项“一个聪明的想法产生”意思相符。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So it’s unwise to place blind faith in the discovery that creative ideas can be generated in the shower or during any other kinds of mind wandering. Instead, you have to do the work to set the groundwork for creative ideas to emerge in the first place.”（盲目相信创造性的想法可以在淋浴或任何其他类型的走神过程中产生是不明智的。相反，你必须先做一些工作，为创意的出现打下基础）”可知，Kalina Christoff认为不能盲目相信在走神过程中会产生是不明智的，还是要努力为创意的出现打好基础，因此推断他对努力工作这一文化持正面态度的。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，再根据第一段“If you’ve ever emerged from the shower or returned from your walk with a clever idea or a solution to a problem you had been struggling with, it may not be a surprise. Rather than constantly concentrating on a problem, research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely to have creative breakthroughs when they’re doing a habitual task that doesn’t require much thought.（如果你曾经洗完澡或散步回来，想到了一个聪明的主意或解决了你一直在纠结的问题，这可能并不奇怪。过去15年的研究表明，人们在做一项不需要太多思考的习惯性任务时，可能更有可能取得创造性突破，而不是一直专注于一个问题）”可知，大脑机制决定了只有劳逸结合才能富有创意。由此推知，作者可能会同意D项“只工作不休息，聪明孩子也变傻”的说法。故选D。 D An 11-minute quick walk every day could prevent one in ten premature deaths worldwide, according to the largest ever study of its kind. Globally, one in ten early deaths could be avoided if everyone met just half the NHS target for moderate (适度的)-intensity physical activity, the pooled data analysis suggests. The results were published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Moderate-intensity physical activity is defined as activity that raises the heart rate and makes people breathe faster, but still leaves them able to speak. “If you are someone who finds the idea of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week a bit daunting, then our findings should be good news,” said Dr. Soren Brage, of Cambridge’s Medical Research Council epidemiology unit. Researchers looked at 196 peer-reviewed articles, covering more than 30 million participants from 94 large study teams. They then examined the link between levels of physical activity and the risk of heart disease, cancer and early death. At least 75 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity lowered the risk of early death by 23%. It was also enough to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 17% and cancer by 7%. “We know that physical activity, such as walking or cycling, is good for you, especially if you feel it raises your heart rate,” said Prof. James Woodcock, also of Cambridge University. “But what we’ve found is there are substantial benefits to heart health and reducing your risk of cancer even if you can only manage 10 minutes every day.” The researchers calculated that if everyone in the studies had done the equal of at least 150 minutes a week of moderate activity, about one in six early deaths would have been prevented. But even if everyone had managed at least 75 minutes a week, about one in ten early deaths would have been prevented, the research found. 32. What is the main finding of the study mentioned in the text? A. Early deaths cannot be prevented through physical activity. B. Everyone needs to exercise for at least 150 minutes weekly. C. 11 minutes’ daily quick walking could stop 10% of early deaths. D. Walking is the best exercise for preventing premature deaths. 33. What does the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Exciting. B. Discouraging. C. Confusing. D. Addictive. 34. How did the researchers do their study? A. They examined previous similar articles. B. They cooperated with 94 large study teams. C. They tracked down different people’s ways of exercise. D. They asked about 30 million participants to answer questions. 35. What is the message of the study for people who can’t manage 150 minutes of physical activity a week? A. They should give up on physical activity altogether. B. 75 minutes’ weekly activity is not enough to keep fit. C. They should aim for high-intensity workouts for health. D. Ten minutes’ daily activity can prevent heart disease and cancer. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究发现：每天11分钟的快走可以减少10%的早逝。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“An 11-minute quick walk every day could prevent one in ten premature deaths worldwide, according to the largest ever study of its kind.(根据迄今为止最大规模的同类研究，每天11分钟的快速步行可以防止全球十分之一的过早死亡。)”可知，文中提到的研究的主要发现是每天快走11分钟可以避免10%的早期死亡。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“then our findings should be good news(那么我们的研究结果应该是个好消息)”以及第四段“there are substantial benefits to heart health and reducing your risk of cancer even if you can only manage 10 minutes every day.(即使你每天只锻炼10分钟，对心脏健康和降低患癌症的风险也有很大的好处。)”可知，如果你觉得每周进行150分钟中等强度的体育锻炼的想法有点令人生畏，那么我们的发现应该是个好消息。所以此处daunting的含义是“令人生畏的；让人气馁的”。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Researchers looked at 196 peer-reviewed articles, covering more than 30 million participants from 94 large study teas.(研究人员查看了196篇同行评议的文章，涵盖了来自94个大型研究团队的3000多万参与者。)”可知，研究人员是通过研究了之前类似的文章进行研究的。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“But what we’ve found is there are substantial benefits to heart health and reducing your risk of cancer even if you can only manage 10 minutes every day.(但我们发现，即使你每天只锻炼10分钟，对心脏健康和降低患癌症的风险也有很大的好处。)”可知，每天十分钟的运动可以预防心脏病和癌症。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分) The act of making and being a friend is as simple as it is difficult.

You're going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog？” “Yes, yes, and yes.” “I don't believe you.” “We will.We promise.” They didn't. They wanted to walk the cute dog that first day.From day two, neither of them thought to walk the dog.While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one.As she looked up at the three new humans in her life, she calculated，“The medium one is the most reliable.” Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵相通). She'd look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, send her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand—which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she would extend across my stomach as I watched television, and snored on my home­office couch as I worked on my design. Even so, part of me continued to reject walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised.“Not fair，” I said to myself as she and I walked.“Not fair，” I'd loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home. In September, 2008, the Great Depression hit Arizona.With that, my husband and I were both laid off overnight.During the following six months, Joe and I hurriedly rushed here and there to seek a new job, doing anything and everything we could to request employment.Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.However, Misty still needed walking. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Upset as I was, I had to walk Misty while seeking a job. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months going by, my life changed a little and I came to enjoy my walks with Misty. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Upset as I was, I had to walk Misty while seeking a job. I felt it a heavy duty to apply my energy to the routine walk.Every time I walked Misty, I felt exhausted and fed up.One day, Misty stopped in front of me, unwilling to move forward despite my dragging the rope.Dramatically, all my anxiety, exhaustion and displeasure erupted like a volcano.I knelt down, burying my head in my hands, tears rolling down my face.Then, Misty approached me and laid her head on my knees to comfort me. I was a little embarrassed but grateful for Misty's understanding.Then I stood up, with my steps firm and powerful. Months going by, my life changed a little and I came to enjoy my walks with Misty. It felt more like relaxation than duty. Misty shared my negative feelings and kept walking peacefully, which comforted me a lot. Thanks to Misty's silent companion, I regained the enthusiasm to life and finally went through the hard times. With my unremitting efforts, I eventually got a new job, and so did Joe. Everything seemed to be just fine and my family went back to routine. But something did change—I had an earnest and faithful friend. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者因为和小狗Misty接触一段时间后，慢慢和它培养出了感情，但内心对于和Misty散步这件事还是觉得不公平。后来因为经济危机，作者和丈夫经历了失业和找工作，日常生活几乎完全改变，但和Misty散步是没变的。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由第一段首句内容“尽管我很失落，但不得不在找工作的时候遛狗。”可知，第一段可描写找工作时和Misty一起散步的感觉。 由第二段首句内容“几个月过去了，我的生活有了一点变化，我开始喜欢和Misty散步了”可知，第二段可描写Misty对作者的影响。 2.续写线索：找工作焦虑——Misty给予安慰——坚强——喜欢散步——恢复常态——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.拖；拽：drag/draw/pull ②.继续散步：kept walking/go on walking 情绪类 ①.难过的：upset/annoyed ②.疲惫的：exhausted/tired/wear out 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
