A. By emailing the library. B. By visiting the library personally. C. By contacting the library on weekends. D. By phoning the library at the required time. B Miss sending letters? Try Lettrs! This new service brings back the art of letter writing by marrying it to the Internet. Lettrs, a new site, is attempting to bring back the old-fashioned idea of letter writing by providing a space that feels a little bit like a writing desk. Of course, there’ll be purists who say that to truly enjoy letter writing you must do it on fancy letter paper and envelope in the mail is part of the fun. And if you’re into that sort of thing, go for it. But I can’t be the only one who is now so much faster at typing that writing by hand is painfully slow. Nor can I be the only one who likes to write on a whim (一时兴起) when I’m going to be on a crowded train or airplane, both of which are situations where writing on the computer is far easier. The site tries, pretty seriously, to approximate (接近) what it’s like to have your very own writing desk and paper to choose from (which comes in various prints and colors) as well as corresponding (通信) types of prints and cursive writing (草写体) that come out on your screen as you write. There’s also a “desk drawer” for letters you’ve already sent, a “fridge” to post letters publicly, a “kitchen counter” for letters you have just received, and “shoebox” to store your letters in. And if you need inspiration there are even old-style letters that are great examples of the kind of correspondence people used to send. Lettrs is such a great idea, because you get the best parts of communicating online (typing rather than writing, the speed, no lost mail, and it’s free! ) with the nice parts of a letter — the sense of sitting down to write, quietly, to one person in a meaningful way. Who would you write to? 56. How does Lettrs work according to the text? A. By providing real paper for letter writers. B. By making room for people to write letters. C. By supplying writing desks to letter writers. D. By combining letter writing with the Internet. 57. It can be inferred from the text that the author_________. A. is one of the purists B. prefers writing to typing C. always hopes to get paper letters D. likes using Lettrs to write letters 58. A Lettrs user can find a newly received letter in or on a “_________”. A. desk drawer B. fridge C. kitchen counter D. shoebox 59. What is the main purpose of the author writing the text? A. To advise readers to use Lettrs. B. To tell readers how to write letters. C. To persuade readers to write letters. D. To show the advantage of the Internet. 60. What is the text mainly about? A. An old art of letter writing. B. A new service of letter writing. C. The advantages of letter writing. D. The development of letter writing. C The murmur of the audience had just faded into expectant silence. This was one of the most important days in little five-year-old Patricia McKee’s life: the Kernot School Concert. She stood behind the curtain with her schoolmates. Yet she was not afraid because everyone had been practicing for weeks and knew their parts by heart. Being in a remote country town, Patricia knew that everyone would turn out for the big occasion－everyone! Yet, it was this awareness that added a sense of sadness to her excitement. There were two people who couldn’t be in that audience that night — her mum and dad. Patricia’s mother and father ran the local general store, which was open for business 24 hours. So it was simply accepted that Mum and Dad could never attend community activities. It had been this way with her sister, so why should it be any different for her? Still, Patricia couldn’t help wishing that her mum and dad could be there to see her on such a special day, so she decided to bring up the subject with her mother. Sadly, she had to face the facts. At such a young age, Patricia couldn’t really understand the deep pain in her mother’s response: “I’ll try to be there, sweetheart, but you know how hard it is for us to get away from the store.” Yet as the curtain slowly opened on the stage of the Kernot Hall, little Patricia McKee got the surprise of her life. There, sitting four rows the front was her mother with a big smile on her face! This powerful image remains one of Patricia’s most treasured memories. “Words cannot express the pure joy we both experienced at that moment. I was really walking on air,” said Patricia, now a parent herself. Her parents have passed away, but what a wonderful legacy (遗产) they’ve left us: when someone really needs you, be there for them. 61. Why did Patricia have a feeling of sadness？ A. She had no chance to watch the concert. B. She performed unsuccessfully at the concert. C. Her parents had gone to a remote country town. D. Her parents were unlikely to attend the concert. 62. What do we know about Patricia’s parents？ A. They loved Patricia more than her sister. B. They had little interest in social activities. C. They had to mind the store day and night. D. They paid no attention to Patricia’s school life. 63. According to Paragraph 4, while giving the response, Patricia’s mother probably felt_________. A. calm B. sorry C. angry D. nervous 64. What does the underlined phrase “walking on air” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Surprised. B. Troubled. C. Very happy. D. Very comfortable. 65. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. A smiling face in the crowd. B. An extremely busy mother. C. A big occasion in school. D. A secret wish. D Parents do need to teach their kids financial responsibility and that money is earned. Still, many child-development experts agree that tying a child’s allowance(零花钱) to chores can be a wrong decision. Susie Walton advises keeping chores and allowances totally separate. “Allowance is one thing. When it comes to chores, life skills, responsibilities - that’s a whole different thing,” says Walton. Walton says, “When kids aren’t doing a chore, you don’t say, ‘Well, there goes your allowance.’ You’re going to sit them down and ask what’s going on. ‘We’re a team. We’re a family. We’ve got to have them done.’” Besides, by paying children for chores with an allowance, you’ll also be sending the message that work isn’t worth doing unless they’re getting paid for it. There are times when it would make sense to pay kids for chores. Most experts agree that it’s a fine idea to pay children money for extra jobs that are outside their normal set of chores, such as washing windows, washing the car or helping to clean out the garage - - - especially if the child is saving for a big item. This may even develop an entrepreneurial(企业家的) spirit to think outside of the box to earn money. For parents who are concerned that their children won’t learn the value of a dollar if the allowance isn’t tied to household chores, note that there are still plenty of money management skills to be learned from a straight allowance. Depending on the age, kids can be made responsible for paying for their own toys or snacks. “I really like having my own money,” says Kevin,9. “It’s up to me if I want to buy the cheap toy now, or save and get the better toy.” And that’s a good lesson to learn at 9 years old. No matter which allowance route you take in parenthood, kids will feel empowered by being able to handle their own money. 66. Which of the following would Susie Walton most probably agree with? A. Kids should be paid for doing chores. B. Kids shouldn’t be forced to do chores. C. Doing chores teaches kids the value of work. D. A child’s allowance shouldn’t be tied to chores. 67. According to Susie Walton, if kids don’t do chores, parents should ______ . A. teach them the entrepreneurial spirit B. talk to them about family responsibilities C. give them a smaller allowance than usual D. punish them by not giving them their allowances 68. In Paragraph 6, “a straight allowance” probably means “______”. A. money given by charity organizations B. money earned by doing part-time jobs C. money earned by doing everyday household chores D. money given by parents and not dependent on chores 69. What is the author’s attitude towards Kevin’s action? A. Worried. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Unfavorable. 70. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance of kids doing chores. B. Whether parents should pay kids for chores. C. The advantages of kids handling their own money. D. Whether parents should give kids regular allowances. 四、阅读表达(共5小题，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I read an article in my local paper a while ago，and it really inspired me. There was a couple in my neighborhood whose house had been badly damaged in a storm we had earlier this year. I remember it well. I have never experienced so big a storm in my life，and the hailstones were almost the size of baseballs which broke everything on the roofs of the houses. I read this article a few months after the storm and I learned that this couple didn't have insurance and that they had just bought their first house. They were a common young couple and they had been saying for five years to get their home. Unfortunately，their home was badly damaged in the storm not only by the strong wind but a tree outside their house had fallen and destroyed part of the house. With all of their savings spent buying the place，they didn't have enough money to perform the maintenance of their house，nor could they buy a new one as they couldn't afford it. Then one day just when they were thinking nothing would get better，they came home from work and found an envelope in their mail box. When they opened it，they found some money with a note that said，“I have been driving past your house on my way to work for the last month，it looks like you need this more than I do，best of luck. ”The words were clear but no name was left. They couldn't reach the kind stranger，so they had to write to the local paper thanking him/her. The article caught the eye of the leaders of some companies who volunteered to cover the costs of repairs on the couple's home. I was really inspired by this story，and I try to do things for others every chance I get. I really understand that one act of kindness sometimes is so inspiring that it has the ability to change the world. 71. Why does the author remember the storm so well？（no more than 15 words） 72. Why did the couple had difficulty in dealing with the problem by themselves after the storm？（no more than 20 words） 73. What does the underlined words in the second paragraph mean？（no more than 1 word） 74. How did the stranger help the couple？（no more than 15 words） 75. What do you think of the stranger's behavior？Please give your reasons. （no more than 20words） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 天津市实验中学 TIANJIN EXPERIMENTAL HIGH SCHOOL 2024-2025学年度高二上学期 第二次阶段学情调查英语学科试卷 一、单项选择(共30小题，满分30分) 1. —I’ll come to attend your lecture at 10:00 pm tomorrow. —I’m sorry.

A. was chosen B. was being chosen C. would choose D. had chosen 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：让我高兴的是，我从成百上千的参加者中被选中参加开幕式。可以知道这里应该是被动语态，又因为被选中是过去发生的事情，这里只是对过去发生的事情的一般描述，故用一般过去式，故选A。 【点睛】本题旨在考查句子的时态和语态，要求学生明确地掌握各个时态的定义以及它们在时间上的划分段和用法，以及不同语态的用法。时态也是高考题的一个重点。辨明句子的时态，一是看句子中有没有明确表示时态的关键词，另一个方法就是结合句意判断动词的发生时间是在什么时候。 18.

A. was repaired B. is repaired C. is being repaired D. has been repaired 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：这周我的洗衣机正在修，所以我不得不手洗衣服。根据后句so I have to wash my clothes by hand.可知，洗衣机正在修，故用现在进行时态的被动语态。故选C。 点睛：本题考查时态。分析选项可以知道，4个选项都用了被动语态，本题考查的其实是不同的时态。选项A是过去时；选项B是一般现在时的被动；选项C是现在进行时；选项D是现在完成时。再结合语境进行分析，最终判断出最佳答案。 19.

Try Lettrs! This new service brings back the art of letter writing by marrying it to the Internet. Lettrs, a new site, is attempting to bring back the old-fashioned idea of letter writing by providing a space that feels a little bit like a writing desk. Of course, there’ll be purists who say that to truly enjoy letter writing you must do it on fancy letter paper and envelope in the mail is part of the fun. And if you’re into that sort of thing, go for it. But I can’t be the only one who is now so much faster at typing that writing by hand is painfully slow. Nor can I be the only one who likes to write on a whim (一时兴起) when I’m going to be on a crowded train or airplane, both of which are situations where writing on the computer is far easier. The site tries, pretty seriously, to approximate (接近) what it’s like to have your very own writing desk and paper to choose from (which comes in various prints and colors) as well as corresponding (通信) types of prints and cursive writing (草写体) that come out on your screen as you write. There’s also a “desk drawer” for letters you’ve already sent, a “fridge” to post letters publicly, a “kitchen counter” for letters you have just received, and “shoebox” to store your letters in. And if you need inspiration there are even old-style letters that are great examples of the kind of correspondence people used to send. Lettrs is such a great idea, because you get the best parts of communicating online (typing rather than writing, the speed, no lost mail, and it’s free! ) with the nice parts of a letter — the sense of sitting down to write, quietly, to one person in a meaningful way. Who would you write to? 56. How does Lettrs work according to the text? A. By providing real paper for letter writers. B. By making room for people to write letters. C. By supplying writing desks to letter writers. D. By combining letter writing with the Internet. 57. It can be inferred from the text that the author_________. A. is one of the purists B. prefers writing to typing C. always hopes to get paper letters D. likes using Lettrs to write letters 58. A Lettrs user can find a newly received letter in or on a “_________”. A. desk drawer B. fridge C. kitchen counter D. shoebox 59. What is the main purpose of the author writing the text? A. To advise readers to use Lettrs. B. To tell readers how to write letters. C. To persuade readers to write letters. D. To show the advantage of the Internet. 60. What is the text mainly about? A. An old art of letter writing. B. A new service of letter writing. C. The advantages of letter writing. D. The development of letter writing. 【答案】56. D 57. D 58. C 59. A 60. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型写信方式Lettrs的优点、使用方法，建议人们使用。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This new service brings back the art of letter writing by marrying it to the Internet.(这项新服务将写信的艺术与互联网结合起来，使之重新焕发生机)”可知，Lettrs是通过把写信和网络结合起来运作的。故选D项。 【57题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Lettrs is such a great idea, because you get the best parts of communicating online (typing rather than writing, the speed, no lost mail, and it’s free! ) with the nice parts of a letter－the sense of sitting down to write, quietly, to one person in a meaningful way. (Lettrs 是一个很好的主意，因为你可以在网上进行最好的交流（打字而不是写作，速度快，不会丢失邮件，而且是免费的！）信中美好的部分——坐下来安静地，以一种有意义的方式给一个人写信的感觉。)”可知，作者喜欢使用Lettrs写信。故选D项。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“There’s also a “desk drawer” for letters you’ve already sent, a “fridge” to post letters publicly, a “kitchen counter” for letters you have just received, and “shoebox” to store your letters in.(还有一个“书桌抽屉”，用于存放你已经寄出的信件，一个“冰箱”，用于公开邮寄信件，“厨房柜台”，用于放置你刚刚收到的信件，以及“鞋盒”，用于储存你的信件。)”可知，Lettrs用户可以在“厨房柜台”找到新收到的信件。故选C项。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Lettrs is such a great idea, because you get the best parts of communicating online (typing rather than writing, the speed, no lost mail, and it’s free! ) with the nice parts of a letter－the sense of sitting down to write, quietly, to one person in a meaningful way.

This was one of the most important days in little five-year-old Patricia McKee’s life: the Kernot School Concert. She stood behind the curtain with her schoolmates. Yet she was not afraid because everyone had been practicing for weeks and knew their parts by heart. Being in a remote country town, Patricia knew that everyone would turn out for the big occasion－everyone! Yet, it was this awareness that added a sense of sadness to her excitement. There were two people who couldn’t be in that audience that night — her mum and dad. Patricia’s mother and father ran the local general store, which was open for business 24 hours. So it was simply accepted that Mum and Dad could never attend community activities. It had been this way with her sister, so why should it be any different for her? Still, Patricia couldn’t help wishing that her mum and dad could be there to see her on such a special day, so she decided to bring up the subject with her mother. Sadly, she had to face the facts. At such a young age, Patricia couldn’t really understand the deep pain in her mother’s response: “I’ll try to be there, sweetheart, but you know how hard it is for us to get away from the store.” Yet as the curtain slowly opened on the stage of the Kernot Hall, little Patricia McKee got the surprise of her life. There, sitting four rows the front was her mother with a big smile on her face! This powerful image remains one of Patricia’s most treasured memories. “Words cannot express the pure joy we both experienced at that moment. I was really walking on air,” said Patricia, now a parent herself. Her parents have passed away, but what a wonderful legacy (遗产) they’ve left us: when someone really needs you, be there for them. 61. Why did Patricia have a feeling of sadness？ A.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述演出时Patricia虽希望母亲来，但由于实际情况母亲不能来，当突然看到母亲时她异常高兴，并且这一幕成了一生美好的回忆。母亲的行为告诉我们：当亲人真正需要时，陪在他们身边。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“it was this awareness that added a sense of sadness to her excitement. There were two people who couldn’t be in that audience that night－her mum and dad.(正是这种意识给她的兴奋增添了一种悲伤的感觉。那天晚上有两个人没能出现在观众席上——她的妈妈和爸爸)”和第四段“Patricia couldn’t help wishing that her mum and dad could be there to see her on such a special day(帕特丽夏忍不住希望她的爸爸妈妈能在这样一个特别的日子里看到她)”可知，帕特里夏感到悲伤是因为父母不可能来参加音乐会。故选D。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Patricia’s mother and father ran the local general store, which was open for business 24 hours. So it was simply accepted that Mum and Dad could never attend community activities.(帕特丽夏的父母在当地经营一家24小时营业的杂货店。所以，妈妈和爸爸永远不能参加社区活动，这是可以接受的)”可知，Patricia的父母经营了一家商店，平时很忙。故选C。 【63题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Patricia couldn’t really understand the deep pain in her mother’s response: “I’ll try to be there, sweetheart, but you know how hard it is for us to get away from the store.”(帕特丽夏无法真正理解母亲回答时那种深深的痛苦：“我会尽力去的，宝贝，但你知道我们要离开那家商店有多难)”推知，母亲当时的心情很无奈、遗憾。故选B。 【64题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上句“Words cannot express the pure joy we both experienced at that moment.(语言无法表达我们在那一刻所经历的纯粹的快乐)”可知，Patricia虽希望母亲来但没想到母亲能来，当突然看到母亲时异常高兴。由此猜测划线短语意为“非常开心”。故选C。 【65题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述演出时Patricia虽希望母亲来但由于实际情况母亲不能来，当突然看到母亲时她异常高兴，并且这一幕成了一生美好的回忆。结合倒数第二段中“There, sitting four rows the front was her mother with a big smile on her face!(坐在前面四排的是她的妈妈，脸上挂着灿烂的笑容！)”可知，A项“人群中的笑脸”是最佳标题，故选A。 D Parents do need to teach their kids financial responsibility and that money is earned. Still, many child-development experts agree that tying a child’s allowance(零花钱) to chores can be a wrong decision. Susie Walton advises keeping chores and allowances totally separate. “Allowance is one thing. When it comes to chores, life skills, responsibilities - that’s a whole different thing,” says Walton. Walton says, “When kids aren’t doing a chore, you don’t say, ‘Well, there goes your allowance.’ You’re going to sit them down and ask what’s going on. ‘We’re a team. We’re a family. We’ve got to have them done.’” Besides, by paying children for chores with an allowance, you’ll also be sending the message that work isn’t worth doing unless they’re getting paid for it. There are times when it would make sense to pay kids for chores. Most experts agree that it’s a fine idea to pay children money for extra jobs that are outside their normal set of chores, such as washing windows, washing the car or helping to clean out the garage - - - especially if the child is saving for a big item. This may even develop an entrepreneurial(企业家的) spirit to think outside of the box to earn money. For parents who are concerned that their children won’t learn the value of a dollar if the allowance isn’t tied to household chores, note that there are still plenty of money management skills to be learned from a straight allowance. Depending on the age, kids can be made responsible for paying for their own toys or snacks. “I really like having my own money,” says Kevin,9. “It’s up to me if I want to buy the cheap toy now, or save and get the better toy.” And that’s a good lesson to learn at 9 years old. No matter which allowance route you take in parenthood, kids will feel empowered by being able to handle their own money. 66. Which of the following would Susie Walton most probably agree with? A. Kids should be paid for doing chores. B. Kids shouldn’t be forced to do chores. C. Doing chores teaches kids the value of work. D. A child’s allowance shouldn’t be tied to chores. 67. According to Susie Walton, if kids don’t do chores, parents should ______ . A. teach them the entrepreneurial spirit B. talk to them about family responsibilities C. give them a smaller allowance than usual D. punish them by not giving them their allowances 68. In Paragraph 6, “a straight allowance” probably means “______”. A. money given by charity organizations B. money earned by doing part-time jobs C. money earned by doing everyday household chores D. money given by parents and not dependent on chores 69. What is the author’s attitude towards Kevin’s action? A. Worried. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Unfavorable. 70. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance of kids doing chores. B. Whether parents should pay kids for chores. C. The advantages of kids handling their own money. D. Whether parents should give kids regular allowances. 【答案】66. D 67. B 68. D 69. B 70. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了父母该不该让孩子做家务，怎样处理做家务与给零花钱的关系。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Susie Walton advises keeping chores and allowances totally separate. “Allowance is one thing. When it comes to chores, life skills, responsibilities - that’s a whole different thing,” says Walton.(Susie Walton建议把家务和零用钱完全分开。“零用钱是一回事。当涉及到家务、生活技能、责任时——这是完全不同的事情，”Walton说。)”可知，SusieWalton认为chores和allowances不是一回事，因此她认为孩子的零用钱不应该和做家务联系在一起。故选D。 【67题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段““When kids aren’t doing a chore, you don’t say, ‘Well, there goes your allowance.’ You’re going to sit them down and ask what’s going on. ‘We’re a team. We’re a family. We’ve got to have them done.’” (“当孩子不做家务时，你不会说，‘好吧，这是你的零用钱。’你要让他们坐下来，问问发生了什么事。‘我们是一个团队。我们是一家人。我们必须把它们做完。’”)”可知，Susie Waltoni认为如果孩子不做家务，父母应该教给他们家庭责任。故选B。 【68题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词之前“For parents who are concemned that their children won’t learn the value of a dollar if the allowance isn’t tied to household chores (父母们担心，如果零用钱与家务无关，他们的孩子就不会知道一美元的价值。)”可知，父母担心直接给零花钱孩子就不会知道一美元的价值，所以此处的a straight allowance指的是父母给孩子的零用钱，并不是孩子靠做家务赚的钱。故选D。 【69题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“And that’s a good lsson to learn at 9 years old. (这对9岁的孩子来说是个很好的教训。)”可知，作者对Kevim行为的态度是赞成的。故选B。 【70题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段“Parents do need to teach their kids financial responsibility and that money is earned. Still, many child-developmentexperts agree that tying a child's alowance to chores can be a slippery slope. Here’s why (父母确实需要教育他们的孩子经济责任，钱是挣来的。尽管如此，许多儿童发展专家都认为，把孩子的零用钱和家务联系在一起可能是一种滑坡效应。这就是为什么)”指出家长需要教育孩子经济责任，第二至六段主要是不同的人(包括孩子)对于父母该不该让孩子做家务以及该怎样处理做家务与给零花钱的关系的不同看法，纵观全文可知，文章主要讨论了父母该不该让孩子做家务以及该怎样处理做家务与给零花钱的关系。故选B。 四、阅读表达(共5小题，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I read an article in my local paper a while ago，and it really inspired me. There was a couple in my neighborhood whose house had been badly damaged in a storm we had earlier this year. I remember it well. I have never experienced so big a storm in my life，and the hailstones were almost the size of baseballs which broke everything on the roofs of the houses. I read this article a few months after the storm and I learned that this couple didn't have insurance and that they had just bought their first house. They were a common young couple and they had been saying for five years to get their home. Unfortunately，their home was badly damaged in the storm not only by the strong wind but a tree outside their house had fallen and destroyed part of the house. With all of their savings spent buying the place，they didn't have enough money to perform the maintenance of their house，nor could they buy a new one as they couldn't afford it. Then one day just when they were thinking nothing would get better，they came home from work and found an envelope in their mail box. When they opened it，they found some money with a note that said，“I have been driving past your house on my way to work for the last month，it looks like you need this more than I do，best of luck. ”The words were clear but no name was left. They couldn't reach the kind stranger，so they had to write to the local paper thanking him/her. The article caught the eye of the leaders of some companies who volunteered to cover the costs of repairs on the couple's home. I was really inspired by this story，and I try to do things for others every chance I get. I really understand that one act of kindness sometimes is so inspiring that it has the ability to change the world. 71. Why does the author remember the storm so well？（no more than 15 words） 72. Why did the couple had difficulty in dealing with the problem by themselves after the storm？（no more than 20 words） 73. What does the underlined words in the second paragraph mean？（no more than 1 word） 74. How did the stranger help the couple？（no more than 15 words） 75. What do you think of the stranger's behavior？Please give your reasons. （no more than 20words） 【答案】71. Because it was the biggest storm that he/she has ever experienced in his/her life. 72. Because they had no insurance or enough money to repair their house or buy a new one. 73. Repair. 74. By dropping an envelope in their mail box with some money and a note inside. 75. His behavior/it is very great. Because one act of kindness has the ability to change the world. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个陌生人用自己的一份力量帮助一对在暴风雨中房屋受损的夫妇，他的善举深深地鼓舞了作者。 【71题详解】 根据第一段中的“I remember it well. I have never experienced so big a storm in my life”可知，作者记得很清楚是因为这是作者有生以来经历的最大的一场暴风雨，故填Because it was the biggest storm that he/she has ever experienced in his/her life. 【72题详解】 根据第二段中的“I learned that this couple didn't have insurance”及“they didn't have enough money to perform the maintenance of their house，nor could they buy a new one as they couldn't afford it.”可知，这对夫妇很难独自应付暴风雨造成的损失是因为没有保险，也没有足够的钱修房子或买新房子，故填Because they had no insurance or enough money to repair their house or buy a new one. 【73题详解】 根据画线词后的“their house，nor could they buy a new one as they couldn't afford it”可知，他们没有钱来修在暴风雨中损坏的房子，也买不起新房子，由此可知画线部分的意思是“修理”，故填Repair. 【74题详解】 根据第三段中的“they came home from work and found an envelope in their mail box. When they opened it，they found some money with a note that”可知，陌生人把一个装有一些钱和一张纸条的信封投进那对夫妇家的信箱里，故填By dropping an envelope in their mail box with some money and a note inside. 【75题详解】 根据最后一段中的“I really understand that one act of kindness sometimes is so inspiring that it has the ability to change the world.”可知，那个陌生人的行为很伟大，因为一个善举是如此的鼓舞人心，它有能力改变世界，故填His behavior/it is very great. Because one act of kindness has the ability to change the world. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
