Yours, Li Hua 续写答案： When Tom got home late that night, he saw a neighbor at their door. The neighbor, with a look of concern, informed Tom that his mother had fainted and was rushed to the hospital. Tom’s mind went blank as he processed the information, his heart pounding in his chest. A wave of guilt washed over him as he realized what he had done to his mother. He quickly grabbed his bike keys and dashed outside, his bike already waiting for him in the driveway. The cool night air rushed past him, the streetlights casting flickering shadows on his path. Every pedal felt like a race against time as he pushed himself to reach the hospital as soon as possible. After riding for half an hour, Tom arrived at the hospital. Breathless and drenched in sweat, he rushed to the reception desk and asked for his mother’s room. The nurse directed him to a softly lit room where Gina lay. Her face was pale, but her eyes lit up when she saw her son. Tom inched/edged to her bedside, tears streaming down his face. He grabbed her hand and whispered apologies for his recent behavior. Gina, with a weary but forgiving smile, reassured him that she was okay and that they could work through their differences. As they held each other’s hands, sharing words of understanding and love, the tension between them melted away. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了关于一个名叫Tom的13岁男孩与他母亲Gina之间的情感冲突与和解。Tom与朋友在咖啡馆聚会时，Gina试图邀请他一起看电影，但遭到Tom的拒绝和责备。Tom的冷漠和愤怒伤害了Gina，最终导致她晕倒并被送往医院。Tom在得知此事后深感内疚，急忙赶到医院向母亲道歉。在医院里，母子俩坦诚相对，通过互相理解和原谅，化解了彼此之间的隔阂，重新建立了深厚的母子情感。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，Tom很晚才回到家，他看见门口站着一个邻居。”可知，第一段可描写邻居告知Tom关于母亲的状况，以及Tom听到消息后的反应，感到医院的情节。 ②由第二段首句内容“骑了半个小时后，Tom到达了医院。”可知，第二段可描写Tom到达医院后询问母亲的状况，以及征求母亲的原谅，向母亲道歉。同时母亲原谅Tom的情节。 2.续写线索： 得知母亲被送到医院——Tom感到愧疚——与时间赛跑赶到医院——询问母亲状况——向母亲道歉并征求原谅——母子和好 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知：inform/tell ②冲出去：dash outside/run outside ③引导：direct/guide 情绪类 ①羞愧：a wave of guilt/shame ②流泪：tears streaming down his face/tears rolling down from his face 【点睛】[高分句型1] A wave of guilt washed over him as he realized what he had done to his mother.(运用了what引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2] Tom inched/edged to her bedside, tears streaming down his face.(运用了独立主格结构) 听力原文 Text 1 M: This month, our trip will be to the museum. We will take a school bus to the Colma station. Then we'll take the subway downtown. Yes, Tammy? W: Can our parents drive us instead? M: No, I want us to go as a group. Text 2 W: I heard on the news that we're finally going to be getting some rain in the next few days. M: "That's good news. This has been one of the driest months on record, so I'm sure the trees really need it. Text 3 W: What a wonderful wedding that was! It will be a big task to sweep up all that litter. M: The rules of the wedding hall say throwing colored paper is banned. Throwing rice is OK. And even bits of torn-up newspaper are allowed. W: That's crazy! Text 4 W: On the front page of yesterday's newspaper, it says that you have come to an agreement with the Canadian government. Can you tell us more about that? M: Absolutely. We have agreed to continue working together to improve economic relations between our two countries. Text 5 W: Can I have something to drink? My throat is so dry from our workout earlier, and all I had today was about a liter. M: You need to drink some water then. I drink two liters a day usually, and an extra one when I exercise. 【解题关键】此题需要结合男女双方的对话内容来进行推断。从女音可知是男女双方在一起锻炼；从男音可知平时每天喝两升，锻炼时额外多喝一升，共三升。 Text 6 M: Let's visit the steam railway tomorrow. It's so exciting. W: You're like a little boy who wants to see those old trains pumping out smoke and steam. M: I love the power and the size of them—but most of all I just love the steam. It is great to see them in action and we can ride on one as well. W: Yes. I like them, too. It is like going back to the old days when all trains were black. M: Well, tomorrow there will be green ones and red ones, too. Text 7 W: I understand that you're looking to start a show within the next two years. Is this true? M: Yes. I've always wanted to be one of the people you see on television talking to guests about their careers. W: Have you thought about other options? Those types of shows can be on many different types of media. Many hosts start out on the radio, but now the technology is better and you can even make a show on the Internet. M: I want it to be the show that people watch while they're eating dinner. W: That's a good goal, but it'll be difficult to get you on television with just that idea. I suggest you come up with something that makes you different from the other similar shows airing now. Text 8 M: Can you pick up the name cards for the conference? W: Sure, but I need to stop by the hospital first and drop off the card and gift we got for Andy. M: Of course! I can't believe I forgot about that. W: I hope I bought him the right gift. M: I'm sure it's fine. W: I hope so, because last year I wasn't sure if he liked the birthday gift I got him. I bought him a Lego Star Wars set, because I overheard him talk about it with Mary. But, when he opened it, he asked me if I thought he was a child. M: I remember that! That was funny! He was joking but you looked so lost. We just laughed at your reaction. W: OK, I figured he was joking, but I was not sure. M: No, no. He appreciated it. How long will he be in hospital, do you know? W: A few more days. He should be able to get back to work soon. M: OK, great. Send him my best! W: Will do! 【解题关键】第11题需要根据全文的内容才可以推断出答案。男女双方主要谈论了同事 Andy的事情，包括去年买生日礼物的事以及现在的住院情况。 Text 9 M: Let's go for a swim today. W: How about going to the lake? M: It's too hot inland. The temperature is supposed to reach 105 degrees today. W: Then where should we go? M: I think the coast is the best place. W: But the beaches will be too crowded today, won't they? It's Saturday, so everyone will have the same idea as we do. M: I know a place that isn't as popular. That beach is rather small and rocky, but it will be suitable for swimming. W: Sounds great! I'll pack our bags. Can you fix something his for lunch? We can eat on the way. M: Sure. Cheese sandwiches are easy to eat on the road. We can buy cold soda at the gas station. W: I'd rather take iced coffee. M: You'll have to make it, then. I never know how you like it. W: All right. Do you want me to pack a pair of pants for you? M: No, I'll just wear my swimsuit. I can dry off in the sun before we leave the beach. W: I'II take extra towels, just in case. M: That's good. We can lie on them in the sun. W: And if there aren't a lot of trees, we can hang up the towels for some shade. M: You could do that, but not for me. Text 10 In today's class, we will do a role-playing exercise to better understand what life was like during the Industrial Revolution in Europe in the late 18th and early 19th century. All the information you need is in the instruction sheet in front of you. First, I will need to separate the class into three groups. Each group represents a different class during that time period. The first group will represent the upper class and play the role of owners of businesses in the city. The second group will represent the middle to lower class and play the role of business managers. The third group will represent and play the role of the working class. This last group will consist of different types of working-class families, such as single parent families and families who lost their parents. In addition to those groups, I will need two students to represent the bank and two to represent security officers. Each group will have a specific set of goals they must reach by the end of class while trying to follow city rules, like paying taxes and keeping the city at peace.

B（原创） I sold one of my cars and switched to an e-bike one year ago. I knew that I was doing something good for the planet. However, I live in Colorado; e-bike would mean freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer. It was the right thing to do, I thought, but it was not going to be fun. I was very wrong. Before selling my car, I worried most about riding in the cold winter months. But I quickly learned that, as the saying goes, there is no bad weather, only bad clothes. I wear gloves, warm socks and a ski jacket when I ride, and I am almost never too cold. Though I, like many would-be cyclists, was worried about arriving at the office sweaty in hotter months, the e-bike solved my problem. Even when there was 35 degrees Celsius outside, I didn’t sweat, thanks to my bike’s pedal-assist mode(脚踏辅助模式). If I am honest, sometimes I didn’t even pedal; I just switched to pedal-assist mode, sat back and enjoyed my ride. But biking to work wasn’t just not unpleasant—it was entirely enjoyable. One day, shortly after selling our car, I hopped on(跳上) my bike after a stressful day at work and rode home down a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt more connected to the physical environment around me than I had when I’d traveled the same route surrounded by metal and glass. I have to say, this sensation made me happier and healthier. Of course, e-bikes aren’t going to replace every car on every trip. In a country where uncontrolled stretching of suburbs and malls and unprotected bike paths are the norm, it’s unrealistic to expect e-bikes to replace cars in the way that the Model T(福特公司第一款大规模生产的汽车) replaced horses. But as an individual, making short trips on an e-bike would save money, cut carbon footprints, and improve health and well-being. 24. What did the author originally think of letting go of his car? A. A healthy move. B. A difficult choice. C. Call of duty. D. A crowd-driven decision. 25. How did the author feel about the actual experience of riding to work? A. Confused. B. Embarrassed. C. Anxious. D. Amazed. 26. What does the underlined part “this sensation” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Interest in exploring new routes. B. Desire to head home faster. C. Relief from work pressure. D. Love for exposure to nature. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. E-bike will replace cars very soon. B. Cyclists should do more to protect themselves. C. Cities need a more inclusive transport network. D. The Model T will be back quickly. C（改编） Some countries mainly depend on food import from other countries. The United Arab Emirates imports roughly 90% of its food. A company in the capital Abu Dhabi wants to help change that. Pure Harvest Smart Farms is developing smart greenhouses, using technology to allow agriculture to develop in the tough environment. During the severe summer months, temperatures can rocket to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. While inside the greenhouse, the environment is suitable for farming. An advanced system analyzes data to adjust sunlight, temperature and humidity(湿度). Other conditions such as water and airflow are also measured. Compared with traditional farming methods, Pure Harvest’s novel resource-efficient food production systems have great superiority, such as saving resources and reducing carbon emissions. Other special features of its systems include the absence of soil and pesticides. Pure Harvest’s growing systems also result in very low water consumption per kilogram of production. As the population in the UAE continues to grow and there’s more focus on sustainability, the new farm will help to meet this increasing demand and give UAE consumers more options to enjoy the best-quality produce. “It was something that dealt with food security, water protection, economic diversification for the region, and sustainability,” said CEO Sky Kurt. “Maybe in the future we will have enough sensors on the plants so that the line is more productive,” Jan Prins, the farm’s head added. “There are thousands of people working worldwide to make this better.” The farm will improve food security in the UAE, but the new idea could have benefits far beyond its borders. According to experts, global food production will have to double by 2050. 28. What’s the main function of the smart greenhouses? A. To address the environment issues. B. To enhance the planting environment. C. To monitor the plants inside them. D. To increase the indoor temperature. 29. Which is NOT the advantages of the smart farms? A. They need more soil. B. They are environment-friendly. C. They need less water. D. They can save energy. 30. What can be inferred about the new farm from Sky Kurtz’s words? A. It helped the country to solve water pollution. B. It requires thousands of people to work together. C. It has been equipped with enough sensors. D. It makes a difference to UAE’s development. 31. What’s the main idea of the text? A. New farms help improve agricultural planting. B. Farmers make efforts to protect natural resources. C. Global food production has largely increased. D. Smart greenhouses give way to traditional farms. D（改编） A team of biologists from the University of Neuchatel, working with staff from multiple institutions in South Africa, has found that removing horns(角) from black rhinos(犀牛) to protect them from hunters may have social implications for the rhinos. Previous research has shown that rhinos are under threat by hunters that kill them illegally obtain their horns, which are a popular product. In this new effort, the research team focused on the black rhinos that live in Africa. There are currently about 6200 black rhinos in Africa, which have been given protected status. Unfortunately, despite armed rangers(护林员) watching over them, their numbers have dropped over the years. To prevent further losses, animal management authorities have authorized park administrators to remove the horns of many of the rhinos, removing the motive for hunting. Such removals have proven to be effective—hunting has come to a stop gradually under the programs. However, these programs are not a simple solution—removing horns safely is costly and puts workers and rhinos at risk of harm. Also, the horns grow back, and must be removed every 18 to 24 months. Less well understood is the impact on the rhinos after horn removal. To learn more, the researchers in this new effort studied the habits of black rhinos in the Manyoni Private Game Reserve in South Africa. The team started by making maps of the rhino range. They used data from sightings made before a dehorning(切去角) project began in 2016 and then from sightings made over the subsequent years. They found that after the loss of a horn, male rhinos greatly reduced their range—some lost up to 80% of their territory. For some females, the team reports, the reduced range was even greater. The group repeated their work in nine other reserves using 15 years of data-gathering and found similar results. The researchers also found that the removal of horns made the black rhinos less social with one another—instead of interacting, they would intentionally avoid one another. 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning the rhinos? A. The value of their horns. B. The reduction in their population. C. The consequence of dehorning them. D. The role of armed rangers in protecting them. 33. Which aspect of the dehorned rhinos did the new study focus on? A. Their survival risks. B. Their gender identities. C. Their social behaviors. D. Their reproduction patterns. 34. What might be the researchers’ attitude to dehorning rhinos? A. Favorable. B. Tolerant. C. Unconcerned. D. Disapproving. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. Time to Protect Rhinos. B. The Endangered Rhinos. C. Dehorning Rhinos Affecting Social Behaviors. D. The Reasons of Removing Horns of Rhinos. 第2节 七选五阅读（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）（原创） 根据下面短文，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。 What sort of decisions we make determines who we really are. Living with integrity(诚实正直) feels good, and once we get better at it, our careers and personal lives can develop better. What does integrity actually mean? Integrity is the ability to live your life depending on your own ethics(道德标准) and morals. 36 Besides that, you must also know what you intend to do with your life and what your purpose is. Here are a few approaches to developing and maintaining integrity! Identify Your Values Clearly The first step to developing your integrity is to identify your values. Every person has a set of values that they live by. You must acknowledge them as you go further in life. 37 Assess Each and Every Choice 38 Practicing integrity means making the right decision no matter what. Some seemingly right decisions that we make in life could be incredibly terrible for some. Honesty and integrity aren’t something that you must practice when it is convenient for you. You must always be like that whatever the circumstances are. Employ Your Ethics in The Real Situation 39 We learn so many great things in childhood, some of which are habits that we follow for our whole life. Practicing integrity is just like that, you would just be practicing your everyday life but with more analysis. Integrity not merely involves consistency. 40 We must not always do what comes naturally to us because it is our nature to stay away from difficulties. We must find the courage within ourselves to face all the difficulties in life, only then will we become successful.(原创) A．Sometimes we have to face the unavoidable.

Tom and his friends would usually spend the entire weekend together, before meeting again the following week while in school. That day, Tom’s mom Gina wanted to change up his routine by inviting him to watch a new superhero movie with her. Gina kept calling Tom on his cellphone, but he wouldn’t pick up. So, she decided to make her way to the cafe where Tom was. When she spotted Tom and his friends, she made her way to them, only to see Tom’s friends giggling. “Your grandmother’s come to pick you up, Tom!” they teased. Tom glared (怒视) at his mother and walked up to her to stop her from going any closer. “What are you doing here?” he blamed her. “You’re embarrassing me in front of my friends!” “I just wanted to ask if you wanted to watch a movie with me,” she smiled, trying to hold his hand. Tom shrugged off her hands. “Leave me alone! I’m with my friends!” he told her. Gina walked back home sadly. When Tom got home that night, it was already half past eleven. He went straight to his room, not even realizing Gina was in the living room. “What’s the matter, Tom?” Gina asked him. “Why is it that you don’t like being with me anymore? I’m worried about you, Tom. I rarely know what’s going on in your life!” she said. “You’re such an old, boring woman! Why did you even give birth to me?!” he yelled. Gina felt a pain in her chest. Before she could respond, Tom grabbed his backpack and ran out the door. “Tom!” Gina called out. Tom rode on his bike and left the street.
